We have an "apartment sized" dishwasher (I think it is 24 inches?) and it fills up very quickly. Maybe 1-2 meals worth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-worth-of-dishes-can-your-dishwasher-hold#post-2303136 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 21:12:55 +0000 808love 2303136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 meals.

But we hand-wash all pots and pans, cooking utensils, and most tupperware. We also hand-wash all of D's dishes because they're cheap plastic from the One Spot and I'm not really sure if they're dishwasher-safe. If we put his dishes in the dishwasher, we'd probably have to run it every other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-worth-of-dishes-can-your-dishwasher-hold#post-2302785 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 21:52:17 +0000 sunny 2302785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We eat 1 meal a day at home M-F and run it every 4 or 5 days.

Otherwise, we could go a couple of days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-worth-of-dishes-can-your-dishwasher-hold#post-2301930 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 09:13:48 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2301930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's standard size.. Depends what we eat.

Plus, I can fit in other things, like serving utentils up top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-worth-of-dishes-can-your-dishwasher-hold#post-2301849 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 08:01:55 +0000 chopsuey 2301849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 3-4 meals. Lots of space in my dishwasher. 🙌🏻 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-worth-of-dishes-can-your-dishwasher-hold#post-2301841 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 07:56:57 +0000 lamariniere 2301841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a fairly standard size dishwasher. I eat just about every meal at home and everyone else eats 2 meals at home. I run the dishwasher every 24 hours or so, occasionally more often if we are all home all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-meals-worth-of-dishes-can-your-dishwasher-hold#post-2301836 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 07:51:58 +0000 mrbee 2301836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our current apartment has a dishwasher that can only comfortably hold one meal's worth of dishes! Makes it hard when we eat three meals a day at home... we're just always doing dishes!</p> <p>Our last place had a dishwasher that could hold 2 or even 3 meals' worth of dishes and wow, what a difference that made! We mopped and vacuumed that place a lot more, and now that I think about it it's probably because we weren't doing dishes all the time!</p> <p>How many meals' worth of dishes can your dishwasher hold? </p>
