Can't imagine that these would work well boondocking... I'd think they would consume too much water and electric. I also don't mind doing the dishes while camping - there's usually not that many and lots of time available. I do the dishes and cooking while my wife keeps the kids entertained and plans our activities.
Why do people keep saying the dishwasher uses too much water? 3.6 gallons to wash up to a service of 9? You likely could not do that in a sink with that little water.
I said water AND electric (and also mentioned boondocking - we don't use a generator either, just solar and propane). Anyway, I typically do dishes for a family of 5 in about a gallon of water (unless they're really nasty). Half a gallon for washing is plenty, and the other half dripped over them to rinse. When you gotta haul it yourself you learn to conserve. :)
That said, it'd be a great thing for my parents, who almost always camp with full hookups.
