We run our bog standard £250 John Lewis dishwasher up to 3 times a day (and only when full).
Two adults and one 12yo, cooking most meals from scratch (we order in less than a month). Plates, bowls, cutlery, cups, glasses, etc aren't the problem, it's usually the pans and large pyrex dishes that take up most of the space.
We only ever use the 30 minute 'quick' programme, and everything that goes in is pre-rinsed so it does actually get clean in a 30 minute programme.
