    They'd also be very difficult to place and remove.

      Some people will literally do anything to avoid using/purchasing a dishwasher. I don't get it. Hand washing is unsanitary, time-consuming, and wastes water. Just fork over the $600 and get one already. It'll change your life for the better.

      It doesn't have to waste more water. There are ways to do the dishes where you only use water to rinse off the already washed plates. That is in fact less water than with a dishwasher. Maybe you are thinking of washing the dished with the water constantly on.

          Because the machine is generally more reliable at doing it in a more sanitary way. People often cut corners when doing it manually.

            Yup. Also: I'm tall, so now I can't see everything that's in the sink. It also needs some kind of anti-tip measure if the suggested use is to keep heavy dishes up high like that. Also, I'm not convinced this is sanitary - are we gonna get raw-chicken-water-splashback onto clean plates?

            According to the CDC,
            chicken should not be rinsed to avoid Salmonella cross contamination.

            Notabene: this advise is from the pre-Trump CDC.

              I did, in that terrible time without the dishwasher, that I would like to forget. I was taking a plate, scrubbing it with a sponge and then rinsing it with clean water from the tap.
              Or do you want me to tell, y'all using a dirty sink full of dirty water to do it?

              That's a terrible ineffective method, and a waste of water.

              Fill one sink with hot water + soup, put as much dishes in it as possible to soak them, and fill the other sink with fresh hot water. Clean one dish after another, preferably with a brush (you'll burn your hands using a sponge), rinse them in the clean water, and put them on the dryer.

              If you do not have a second sink, use a tub for either purpose.

              And yes, the water will get dirty and cool over time, and you'll have to switch if you've got too much dishes.

              Of course, if you're only cleaning a plate and a knife and perhaos a glas, using just the tap is far more efficient.

                You can get them for way less though (esp. used).

                  I prefer the Dutch cabinet (I think that’s what they’re called) is what I want. It’s basically that except it’s in a cabinet.

                    A clean kitchen is a triumph of the modern era. Show this to a caveman or a renaissance era scholar and claim two middle-age adults with at least one child and a dog accomplished it in less than an hour. They will praise it as a miracle.

                      Ooh that some clever design! I know some people who just put dishes in regular cupboards before they are fully dry and it always feels like a moldy disaster waiting to happen.

                      Yup, my father in law insists on putting pots and pans back in the cupboard right after a quick/cursory toweling and I’ve had to clean out his cupboards more than once. Fortunately the wood is mostly mold resistant, but I’ve had to clean all of the contents of those cupboards more than once now.

                        I just have a dishwasher so this would be a bit overkill.

                        So, the art is a bit deceiving. We have a few things that can't go in the dishwasher - the espresso pot which would be ruined in the machine, a few bigger pots and serving bowls that don't fit neatly, some of my son's high chair components that get gunked between meals, our nice set of enameled chopsticks that need to be hand-washed - and this works great to keep them out of the sink while we're doing the rest of the kitchen.

                        But I agree, there's no reason 90% of the image art stuff can't just go in the dishwasher normally.

                          If you're paying rent, you'd think the unit would just come with the kitchen basics.

                          Do you have a refrigerator, at least? A stove? Or is your landlord making you use a shared root cellar and chimney fire?

                            Where are you living that the unit doesn't come with a dishwasher? I've been all over Houston, on the rich side and the poor side, and I've never seen a unit that doesn't at least have one of those bargain basement whirlpools.

                              I have this drying rack, and... I LOVE it!

                              But the knife holder is the biggest problem. All the bits are modular so you can set it up with the knife holder not having something right above it, but my favorite knife is too long to sit in the knife holder without stabbing the countertop. I solved the problem by getting one of those magnetic knife holders and mounting it to the side of the rack.

                              Also, when people who come over to my place for dinner or hanging out, about half of them make a comment about how awesome the drying rack is.

                              (I'm 47 and I got this rack about 5 years ago)

                              I considered buying one of these several years ago, but I measured everything out and… I don’t have the clearance for it. Woe is me.

                              Maybe my next kitchen.

                                But the water is dirty. All this dirt you cleaned is there, in your water, floating, clinging to whatever comes close.

                                  The rinse water is clean and stays clean. You're rinsing off the soap suds. You can wash a shit ton of dishes and the end result is the wash water is dirty and the rinse water is clear. Frankly you're being absurd, you're not shoveling dirty water into the rinse water JFC. The rinse cycle on a dishwasher is wayyy worse.

                                  How can it stay clean if you just put all your dirty plates there? And oils, all the oils are floating on top! And all the pieces and bits, just there!

                                    I'm not sure what you mean. I fully wash the dish in the wash water, then put it in the straight hot rinse water for a minute or so before putting it in the drainer to air dry. The hot water helps them air dry faster and rinses the soap off.
                                    If the rinse water is any less than completely clear, I'm not washing the properly, and I drain and refresh the rinse sink. In my opinion it saves water over rinsing each dish under running water.

                                      I put it in the space for the dishwasher. If you do not have such a space in your kitchen, there are standalone units, even countertop variants. You could remove a cabinet if you can afford to lose the space.

                                      The counter top ones take up a lot of space, and you cannot use your kitchen sink while it is running because it connects to your kitchen faucet. Which also means you need to have the correct kind of faucet for the attachment to fit. Also, dishwashers use a lot of power. There are hidden costs at play here, and with the price of power only going up, why wouldn't I do dishes the cheap way? Not to mention haveing to buy dishwasher tablets and all the waste products created by the single use packaging.

                                        Are you serious? Dish soap breaks down oil. You wash in the dish soap. Which breaks down the oil. Bits and pieces come off in the wash water. When you pick up the dish, the wash water comes off. Carrying the bits and pieces with it. Back into the wash water. Some soap suds remain, which you rinse off in the rinse water. Have you never washed dishes?

                                          We just got one of these a couple weeks ago, my mom and I got to crack up over this, thank you. Who knows how many more laughs I'll be able to share with her before death comes knocking.

                                          You know how to take your dish rack to the next level? Slap some large googly eyes on that bad boy. Surpise your mom. Make those memories.
