It seems to me that the two-dishwasher setup only work if you only have a small, consistent set of tableware, and you use it at a consistent rate (you use close to the entire contents of the dishwasher before you need any of the dirties again, otherwise you'll still be emptying and putting things away). But emptying a dishwasher load of consistent plates and bowls is very quick, so it seems to me like you can you can get 80% of the benefit of the two-dishwasher setup simply by rationalising your tableware for consistency and easy unloading and storage (have everything in the same cabinet right next to or above the dishwasher).
If you have five cabinets full of a myriad of variations of bowls, trays, plates, cups, glasses, widgets, pots and pans that you use at uneven rates, even two dishwashers won't be very helpful.
- roryisok 9y agoMy biggest gripe with the dishwasher is that things come out of it wet and need drying by hand. Modern dishwashers don't have a drying element anymore. However, just today I read here on HN that plastic items don't dry as well as metal, glass, ceramic. Knowing this will hopefully make a big difference from now on as I can either take these things out immediately after they finish to dry on the counter
- mrfusion 9y agoHmm try increasing your water temp and or running the hot water for a couple minutes before starting a load. The residual heat helps dry the dishes. There’s also a post detergent thing you can buy that helps evaporation by breaking the surface tension.
