We have a top loader and usually have 3-4 loads per week for two people,
including the bed linens. If you overcrowd a top loader, it often leaves
clothes in a twisted mass full of wrinkles that the dryer doesn't always
take out. We also don't mix light and dark colored clothes. I suppose one
cram everything one owns into one load, but that isn't proper washing, even
in the "new fangled front loading washers".

As far as dishes, we generally have one load per day which includes dishes
for breakfast and dinner (we're not home at lunch time). The load is full,
so could not run over into the next day. In most cases, more water is
wasted by hand washing and rinsing dishes than using a dishwasher.
