A lot of folks have dishwashers, since they aren't that expensive, save
labor, save water and wash better than by hand since they use hotter
water than your hands can take. $300 will get you a perfectly
serviceable if not fashionable DW.

As for the run frequency, since you can load items and then close the
door vs. having them sitting in the sink, it's less annoying to let them
sit in there until there is a full load, typically every few days.
