- sandworm101 8y agoThe dishwasher is that robot. Just call the racks in the dishwasher shelves. Job done.
- notatoad 8y agoIf you've got a big enough kitchen, having a clean dishwasher and a dirty one is a huge convenience.
- drb91 8y agoDishwashers don't currently handle solid waste well; instead of composting the non-liquid material it's all flushed down the drain, which is both bad for the drain (that grease adds up!) and a loss of the composting that would occur when you manually scrape off a dish.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoDoes anyone sell a dishwasher where the racks lift out to put away in a cupboard: so you can fill a rack, lift the cleaned rack out the washer and put it away, put the dirty rack of dishes in the washer to clean; rinse and repeat.
- zdw 8y agoA lot of commercial dishwashers have multiple trays - they're integrated into a counter and have two guillotine doors that lift up, allow a new unwashed tray to be slid in one side, while the previous washed one slides out the other side. If you're washing hundreds or thousands of dishes for lunch or dinner rush, this assembly line is the way to do it.
- stevehawk 8y ago#bachelorlife 2 dishwashers and just move the dishes back and forth as one is the 'dirty' one and one is the 'clean' one
- kasey_junk 8y agoI'm still waiting for a full cycle washing/drying/folding laundry machine. I'm happy to rfid/index all my clothes if it gets me there...
- digikata 8y agoI wish they would at least get to the next half step. Put clothes in the laundry machine, it washes and dries them in the same machine, then buzzes to say it's done. Unfortunately that seems to be a very niche appliance that maybe shows up in some RVs.
- coddingtonbear 8y agoI've heard that they're common in Europe, actually! Just that they also don't dry well.
- TomMarius 8y agoYou can get some OK ones, but they're expensive. Miele makes the one I have and I'm completely happy with it (comes with full remote control from an app as well).
