I have been stupid enough to buy Marc Newson´s “dish doctor” once for my small office kitchen, which turned out to be an uncleanable mess with zero functional value. This is even worse: a pure styling showcase with sustainabilty blaba. My integrated dishwasher is using 15 litres of water and a minimum of energy and everything comes out perfectly clean without any fuss, without being an elephant in the room. This dishwasher will not clean the dishes and instead become dirty itself after one use, forcing the user to spend time and energy that a dishwasher actually should save. Ridiculous, sorry.

Certainly useful! I will need one in my own home please.. How does it perform though? Will it get my stubborn food stains off?

Speaking as someone who not only enjoys thoughtful, simple design, but also as someone who has lived a great deal of my life without the luxury of a dishwasher, this is great. I would be first in line to buy one if they ever went into production. Great job.

This is brilliant. But … can you use the faucet while the dishwasher is running? There is often need to wash things like pots, knives, wooden utensils, etc. separately and would be useful to be able to do so while the washer is cleaning the other items. I would make it a full double sink, for the same reason (the side basin is too small).

Honestly, if I only had as many dishes that could fit on those 4 racks (that would have to be inserted into the machine one by turn mind you) I think it wouldn’t be too much to hand wash them. I think this system adds more complexity than value. It’s cute though, but I still say less is more please.
