I was a little worried about what you can actually fit in it, and I don't know what the heck a place setting is, so here is what I could fit in it in one load: One large Frying pan, One Medium Sauce Pan, A couple large drinking glasses, a... I am single but love to cook, I also work a full time job and am going to school full time, so spending 20-30 minutes (Because I let them overflow) a few times per week doing dishes by hand is just impracticable. The Normal Cycle lasts 90 minutes, and the Heavy cycle lasts about 120 Minutes, Light is around 40 minutes. Not so great for plastic, which doesn't retain heat as good, but this seems like the case with a lot of dish washers, I can deal with it. -The unit claims to use a max of 1280 watts (1200 for the heating element), and 2. After using it for about a month, I would recommend as a tip that you use the Gel detergents over the powdered detergents, as I have noticed that sometimes the powdered detergent can leave residue on the dried dishes. Just some other tid-bits:-Unlike some models I looked at, this unit has a drain pump instead of draining via gravity, so in theory you might be able to put this at a lower level than your sink, like under your cabinets. -The size is bigger than I was expecting, I will admit I had assumed that I had plenty of space and didn't measure - Luckily I have about a 1/2 Inch of clearance from under my cabinets and about an inch on every other side - It was a really tight... It also has a separate drain hose for permanent installation, the manual says that you will have to supply your own input hose though for permanent installation. -The unit is pretty loud, pretty comparable with a standard dish washer, I would guess that they have less room for sound dampening with the smaller size. -Speaking of drying, the unit doesn't seem to have any sort of air or steam drying or anything. I would definitely recommend this to any singles/couples stuck in an apartment without a dishwasher, and sick of tired of doing them by hand. If I was having company over I may have to run two separate loads, one for pots & pans and one for plates, bowls, glasses, etc. -It does have a spot on the door for putting Rinse Agents in (Like Jet Dry, etc), which should help with drying. I am also impressed as you are able to fit full sized cookie sheets and pizza pans in it (Just put them on the very top). It just sits for 15-20 minutes after the rinse cycle and waits for the water to evaporate to dry the dishes.
