I got one for my parents so they don't have to do dishes anymore. While my original thought was to free them from something they have been doing for years, I must say I am surprised with the performance.
Definitely no need to pre clean like others have pointed out (I believe the dishes are steamed/heated before the cleaning cycle so the heat takes care of the heavy grease and stuff).
Uses less water, about 10 liters/ 2.5 gallons per cycle.
May be I am taking a high ground here, but why do you want spend time doing dishes if you could afford a Dishwasher? Do something better?
Overall, I would say a Dishwasher would be useful even for a family of 2.

I am typing this from India. DDG never provides satisfactory results for anything country specific. As an example, point 6 above is a failure. I used to have DDG as my default, but my workflow got so convoluted that I would search first on DDG, see that the results as not good, open google and search again. It is so frustrating that I switched back to Google even when I didn't want to.
Edit: typos.
