I have to agree with Kay. We have a Hobart at Pathways (24 on-campus and 3 associated neighbor households) and it works fine. It does all kinds of stuff and only takes 90 seconds. It does take about 10-15 minutes to warm up, but that's easily done during meals. The 90 second cycle is crucial to cleaning up quickly. We typically do somewhere between 10 to 15 loads per meal, maybe more, depending on the number of diners and how messy the meal was. Even pot luck dinners, when we use Common House plates and stuff, take at least 5-7 loads. A "regular" dishwasher takes at least an hour for one load. Who wants to wait around for it to finish to unload, put things away and clean out the dishwasher? Not me... And a good dishwasher is efficient. Ours uses the rinse water for the next wash cycle, so that helps out. Washing dishes by hand must use a lot more water. And taking dishes home, as some places do, just shifts the water use burden to individual homes. Finally, commercial grade dishwashers are built much tougher than household ones. All in all, I highly recommend you spring for the commercial grade dishwasher. They can often be found used at local kitchen supply stores.
