How many dishes actually fit in? We are a two person household, how often should I expect to run it?

We are two in here also and I use it everyday, once a day (when we are out working, on weekdays, I use it every other day). It fits 6 dishes and I have tried to put a pan in it but it didn't get cleaned. Careful not to stuff it otherwise nothing will be cleaned, including your forks and knives.

It depends on your dishes, I run mine twice a week. Once on my big cooking day and then again at the end of the week. I live alone. The last day is mainly cups...

Purchase one, a 2 quart and found that it meets all our needs, often with leftovers. Would recommend 2 quart crockpot such as the one posted here. Works great for two people.

I've only seated 3 for dinner so far, and mostly use it for 2. I'd be concerned about four with full place settings

Easily 25 meals. We are only two people but love the flexibility of the amount of seasoning we can use.

I love my 7 cup food processor. mine works good for a family of 3. If you cook for a family larger than mine on a regular basis maybe consider buying the larger machine. either way I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thanks! I just set it up last night. It is big, but fits on my counter ok after some rearranging--and the benefit of having 2 big tanks outweighs the inconvenience of having to move my stuff around. Hopefully it does the job...

It depends on the size and openness of your living room. I think the product mentioned that one covers 400 square feet, but since my living, dinning and kitchen are all open to each other, I only use 2 for the 3 rooms. When we're in our vacation home, I use 2 in the living room alone even though it is smaller. See how it works for your cats Andale more if needed.

It was for somebody else. They have it sideways next to sink so it leaves counter space in front. Size is compact. Other option is to get a rack that you fold and put away if you have little space. But if you eat mostly at home you do need a rack and this one might your purposes. It holds maybe 4 cups/glasses, 8-10 dishes and has cutlery tray.

I was afraid the 2.6 quart may be too big for one person but I found it perfectly made two servings plus at least 3 maybe 4 servings of left overs for lady size portions (men can eat more) so I would say 5-6 total portions- if you need more than that- go bigger - but these are beautiful tagines best - sandie

Where did you come up with the measurement of 10.7x5x5 for the carrier? I honestly do not know just what the measurements for the carrier are, but for CERTAIN the 3 quart casserole dish fits nicely into it, and there is even a little space around it. I have carried 3qt casseroles in the carrier so many times I cannot count them all. In fact I wore out one carrier, and had to buy a new one...and all my 3qt casserole dishes fit just fine into the carrier with the "hot pack" to keep things warm, and it Zips up fine and has so far never leaked when the cover is properly in place. So, wherever you got that measurement for the carrier, you just don't have the right measurements. Where did you come up with the measurement of 10.7x5x5 for the carrier?

Yes, it is perfect for a small home with 2 residents. We are using it with 2 adults and a toddler at our home and have found it to be perfect. We do need to be consistent about filling it each morning and late afternoon, based on usage, but I got a tall glass pitcher for that purpose, which stores nicely right behind the Travel Berkey.

Oh Definitely! We only cook small amounts. To update my review there is some sticking to bottom. The appliance comes with one of those measuring cups. For 2 people we use 1.5 to 2 scoops of rice. Hope that helps!

The model I purchased is probably more unit than I needed for a one bathroom house with a dish washer. 3-4 gallons per minute flow rate should accomodate most homes. Get a model with an adjustable thermostat.

I use it for 2 people and there are leftovers for another meal for both of us but that's my intent. Cooking smaller portions is certainly an option.

This will, in part, depend upon whether the people you are serving are hearty eaters. My husband does physical labor, so in my household, what I make in this three-quart crockpot would never serve more than two or three, at the most. Also, there are cookbooks which have recipes designed specifically to serve two people and they often suggest a three or three and a half quart crockpot. Looking back on it, I wish I had bought the four quart size. I hope this helps you to make a good decision.

Sometimes I have trouble with the plates standing up when placed in the slots. Slots I feel are too wide. I still like this item and I use it everyday. There is only two of us in the home and I rather wash the few dishes then run the dishwasher. Would buy again.

Absolutely! One cup is my normal but I've also filled it up with no problem. Other functions also work great.. crick pot mode, sushi rice, steamer, and even tofu (had to try it).
