Problem: Don't like putting dishes away into your cabinets?
Solution: Two dishwashers. One full of clean dishes. One empty for dirty dishes. Use the clean dishes, put away used in the other dishwasher. Once full of dirty dishes, the clean will be empty of dishes. Wash. Now the two washers change roles.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoDouble buffering. Obvious solution that doesn't work all that well in practice - unless you only order food and never prepare it yourself, you'll likely have more dishes than you can fit in a single dishwasher. You'll quickly find yourself having one diswasher in the middle of the cleaning program, the other half-filled with clean dishes, and nowhere to put the dirty ones you're carrying.
- SubiculumCode 7y agoTrue. Except, maybe an improvement on having one. Dishes filling up the sink because you haven't unloaded the dishwasher yet. SO yes what you say will happen, so a couple of dishes get put into the sink, or you have to put a couple of the clean dishes into a cupboard. Still better than putting away abunch of dishes, or having a bunch of dishes in your sink.
- jacobush 7y agoThis only works for as long as the remaining clean dishes are many enough to serve your current number of guests. Otherwise you have a (too few) clean dishes and a bunch of dirty dishes. So you add a third dishwasher? Pretty soon you'll be running a filesystem of dishes there..
- namibj 7y agoNo. You have one mostly empty dishwasher and one mostly full dishwasher. You then use dishes from the mostly-full one, and put them into the other. Yes, there are still clean plates in there. No, it does not matter.
- SubiculumCode 7y agoor just put the several dishes left into the cupboard. Not 100% does not mean not useful.
- thrower123 7y agoIs is this a real thing that real people actually do? I hear this idea presented here and on Twitter on a regular basis as a solution, but I have never once in my life seen a house that has double dishwashers. At a purely practical level, the whole idea has some issues; most codes require a diswasher to be on a dedicated circuit, and then you'd need to duplicate the plumbing. It seems like the kind of over-the-top extravagance that you could only support in a thousand square foot HGTV kitchen.
- imtringued 7y agoI don't get your problem. You just buy a single dishwasher with two compartments. It's that simple. https://www.remodelista.com/posts/appliances-dishwasher-drawers/ https://www.remodelista.com/posts/appliances-dishwasher-draw...
- SubiculumCode 7y agoI've thought about it, but have never had the chance
- stevekemp 7y agoFinnish draining-cupboards are a more low-tech way to avoid the problem. They're cupboards with racks for placing cups, and the water falls directly into the sink/counter beneath: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dish_drying_cabinet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dish_drying_cabinet
