This is 56 - 9" dinner plates, 48 in the lower rack and 8 in the upper racks, in the Kitchenaid KDA-5 portable. I washed them all, like this, prior to the Spring Wash-In just over three weeks ago. When they were "party dirty" they weren't packed in quite like this as there other dishes in there too.... but hey.
Great pics guys, I sure miss using my dishwashers. My one roommate doesn't believe in using the dishwashers, she says they use too much water and electricity and every time I load something in them she turns around the next morning and washes them by hand, she's a 70 year old woman. I've tried to explain that they don't use that much water, but it ends starting a argument, so I finally gave up. I run them once a month dishes or no dishes.
