If space was at a premium, sure, but I'd hate to have this in our kitchen.
Unless that window has a view of a brick wall I agree. Also butcher block with a drying rack dripping on it isn't gonna last long.
I just have a dishwasher so this would be a bit overkill.
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.
You need to check your available space privilege.
I have both. I'm not putting my plastic salad spinner or German chef knives or old plastic food storage containers or blender jar or my pots and pans and etc. in the dishwasher. Restaurants have human dishwashers for valid reasons.
How is it unsanitary?
Some of us rent. I want a dishwasher, I can't have a dishwasher here
Ok, and how are you fitting it in your kitchen when all cabinets are overflowing and you do not feel like removing your oven.
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
This is normal in Italy. Just the rack would be higher.
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.
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.
Looks neat and space efficient, but I have questions about why someone keeps fruit next to the dishes.
Don't worry, they're plastic.
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.
Magnificent.
Actually this is an abomination and I hate it
I would be bothered by having low clearance above the sink to do dishes, even if it was practically enough room.
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.
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.
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.
Controversial! I admire your gumption
I once had a tiny apartment and considered something like that. But it was too large to fit the space....
i would've loved this as a kid but i had a Bad Childhood
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.
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.
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?
I just pull mine out to scare the children
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)
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.”
I can't figure out how you'd actually get a knife in those slots with the ledge above it.
How do you get the knives in and out of that thing?
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'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.
The knife holder forces you to pull the knives up which simply is impossible with that shelf above
This looks like to make cleaning large pans or baking sheets unnecessarily difficult.
Damn everyone hates this. I liked mine, but to each their own
I don't like the execution, but it's good in concept
