There is only two of us here and we have place settings for 8. We can
go at least two days before we need to run a load. However, we used pots
and pans, knives and other utensils that have to be cleaned. AFAIAC, it
is easier to wash a couple plates and cutlerly along with those things
that need to be done. It is maybe minute or two. I believe I am on
record as saying I hate loading and unloading the dishwasher.
