Those knives would get absolutely backsplashed by bacteria.

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.

[–] Pazuzu@midwest.social 5 points 4 hours ago

Some of us rent. I want a dishwasher, I can't have a dishwasher here

[–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Ok, and how are you fitting it in your kitchen when all cabinets are overflowing and you do not feel like removing your oven.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee -1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 hours ago

So you wheel it around?

[–] slippyferret@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Lots of folks saying “why don’t you just dry and put your dishes away?” but I have this exact model and use it mainly for storage. Zero cabinet space in my tiny kitchen. With this I can actually own enough plates and bowls to feed guests!

yeah I own one cause even though I have a dishwasher there's some stuff that's hand wash only and you can use it for handy storage too like yours

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 3 points 5 hours ago

This is normal in Italy. Just the rack would be higher.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Magnificent.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Looks neat and space efficient, but I have questions about why someone keeps fruit next to the dishes.

[–] wrekone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

Don't worry, they're plastic.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] mobotsar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Looks terrible. I can't use the sink without worrying about splashing the clean dishes. Disgusting. And they're practically just hanging in my way.

I have one of these and it's pretty cool. The knife holder thing sucks ass though, idk who thought that was a good idea.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 2 points 7 hours ago

I once had a tiny apartment and considered something like that. But it was too large to fit the space....

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 6 hours ago

Bit performative hanging out the huge cleavers that you only use when there are guests around for dinner. Where’s the weird little serrated knife with a plastic handle?

[–] socsa@piefed.social 23 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Actually this is an abomination and I hate it

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago

I would be bothered by having low clearance above the sink to do dishes, even if it was practically enough room.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

A side rack with drainage into the sink is ideal for handwashing dishes, anything more or less complicated than that is going to be endless headaches. This thing looks unstable as fuck.

Imagine pumping soap from the dispenser while the top rack has several plates and pots and pans (and fruit??) on it.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 2 points 7 hours ago

I have never needed a drying rack in my life. On the very rare occasion I can't just dry something and put it away, I leave it sitting on a towel to dry. When I am done I wash the towel and the counter again becomes empty. I am not kidding when I say I am an empty counter extremist.

[–] MadBigote@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

I hate it too. My SO bought one and its not a great product. It's hard to wash anything larger than a small pan, it leaks water everywhere, and makes cleaning the please difficult. It also looks horrible in our apartment kitchen.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 hours ago

Controversial! I admire your gumption

[–] match@pawb.social 4 points 8 hours ago

i would've loved this as a kid but i had a Bad Childhood

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm old, and I actually hate this...

How awkward it must be to try to remove the knives. And why is the fruit in the top right? The cutting boards are going to leak all over the counter after you wash them.

Also, I have a dishwasher... So this is just a great way to block the window in front of most sinks for no good reason.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You're the only person who mentioned the window.

An efficient way to drain dishware is great, but looking out the window when you're in the kitchen brings much joy.

And a window can be an emergency fire escape.

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 4 points 10 hours ago

I was watching cat videos and ended up pausing so I could admire the nice stairs this person had.

Cute cat too but them stairs! Dang!

(Then I realized I am old and sad lol)

[–] dylanmorgan@sh.itjust.works 47 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

And then you get to a point where you look at that and think “clever but I’m sure it’s fucked up in some way that isn’t immediately obvious.”

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 23 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

I can't figure out how you'd actually get a knife in those slots with the ledge above it.

I'm old enough to say it's pretty. No silverware. No utility/paring knives. Too many bowls, not enough plates. Most of my utensils can't hang. no glasses/cups, need at least 3 cutting boards.

Great taste, marginal execution.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The knife holder forces you to pull the knives up which simply is impossible with that shelf above

How do you get the knives in and out of that thing?

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 18 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

With AI, of course!

More importantly, why is the drain on the side of the sink? How do to you get the water out of that thing?

I’ve showed my mother things like this once and she was very not at all excited at the idea of one in our kitchen.

[–] pomfegranate@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Damn everyone hates this. I liked mine, but to each their own

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

I don't like the execution, but it's good in concept

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 6 points 13 hours ago

This looks like to make cleaning large pans or baking sheets unnecessarily difficult.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 31 points 19 hours ago (9 children)

Thats a pathetic little kitchen faucet. Real grownups use professional multi-spray kitchen faucets with removable head and swivel action...

Just wait until you discover the dishwasher.

That would cause me so much claustrophobia at the sink i would stop washing dishes.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 36 points 20 hours ago (8 children)

The knives look like a pain to load and remove though
