Magnificent.

[-] hefejefe@lemm.ee 7 points 1 hour ago

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.

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 0 points 15 minutes ago* (last edited 14 minutes ago)

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 15 minutes ago

So you wheel it around?

[-] Pazuzu@midwest.social 1 points 13 minutes ago

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

[-] slippyferret@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 hour ago

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!

[-] mobotsar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 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.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 1 hour 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?

[-] tonyn@lemmy.ml 1 points 44 minutes ago

I just pull mine out to scare the children

[-] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[-] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 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.

[-] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 hours ago

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

[-] wrekone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 48 minutes ago

Don't worry, they're plastic.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 2 points 3 hours ago

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

[-] match@pawb.social 3 points 4 hours ago

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

[-] socsa@piefed.social 22 points 8 hours ago

Actually this is an abomination and I hate it

[-] wabasso@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 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 4 hours ago

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 3 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.

[-] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 hours ago

Controversial! I admire your gumption

[-] MadBigote@lemmy.world 7 points 8 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.

[-] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 4 points 6 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)

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

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 1 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] ThatKomputerKat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

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.

[-] Halosheep@lemm.ee 6 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 12 points 10 hours ago

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 10 points 10 hours ago

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

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 hours ago

The knife holder straddles the back post. The draining baskets are only forward of the back post.

It doesn't look like it could hold more than a 7" knife, but you'd likely be able to lift it out behind the basket.

Again, nothing i'd want to buy, but for an organized look, it's looks organized.

[-] pomfegranate@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

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

[-] dylanmorgan@sh.itjust.works 48 points 14 hours ago

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 25 points 14 hours ago

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

[-] tamman2000@lemmy.world 18 points 14 hours ago

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)

The immediately obvious way is that you don't need a fucking scaffolding around your sink for any of this. Put the knives on magnets like a normal person. Dry your dishes and put them away like an adult, you aren't in college anymore, have some fucking dignity. Put the fruit literally anywhere else. That leaves the soap, which can just sit on the fucking counter. It's not going to damage anything in an earthquake. It doesn't need to be caged.

Counters should be flat, clean and empty of single purpose appliances or extraneous errata. This is the recipe for positive mental health.

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

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 18 points 11 hours ago

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?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 hours ago
[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

It's sad this is real, it's awful in design... Someone in the thread claimed to have one, and admitted the knives were frustrating to store and remove.

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 6 points 11 hours ago

That's likely just the overflow drain?

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 hours ago

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

[-] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 31 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I just bought my first home and immediately decided my first upgrade was to a faucet like this...

I think I need a new username haha
