I live alone and have a dishwasher. Put it on once a week and would not live without it - the dishes are spotless after washing. If it ever dies, I will replace it immediately. Only downside is having to keep the dishes 'under water' to prevent encrustation but this is only bothersome when other people are due to come around.
