Hmmm see I ahve had one for years but I (or someone!) still washes up things like dog bowls, and since you have to wash them seperately, other things get washed up before them....so I still have to buy/use washing up liquid as well as dishwashing capsules. We put ours on every other day as a result.....we run out of mugs and spoons/knoves before anything else - myself, I rinse a mug out after use and use the same one all day, but if J spies a random mug, into the dishie it goes and T does love his tea so there are many......
Kaz does M not do the washing up in the absence of a machine? Since you have cooked........
