Dishwashers use less water and detergent than humans when doing the dishes. That's good for the environment. On the other hand, for a single (like me) it can take days to fill the dishwasher so things get hard/sticky/stinky before its worth turning on the dishwasher. I'd like a single set dishwasher.
Two plates, one knive, etc.
Instead of hot water an ultrasonic blaster could do most of the cleaning in that fairly small volume to save energy. I tried that in a commercial grade ultrasonic bath. The plate was in pieces, but those were really clean. Also everything was still sitting in the same dirty water. A dishwasher would need automatic drain and rinse functions.
Is this what you are looking for?

Baked, own one myself 'cause the
apartment doesn't have room for a
full sized one. It's small, it fits on
the counter and it hooks up to the
sink when its in use. |

| |
Use of that device seems a little lazy I have to say! |
|

That carocelle thing is huge! 20" by 20" and over a foot high. That's my entire counter space, gone. They advertise it as being good for dorm rooms?! Sorry, that size is unacceptable.
I want one that's big enough for one dinner plate. Like a disk drive. Or for a couple of glasses or a bunch of forks and knives. |

I envision something looking like a toaster, just a little taller and longer to hold a vertical plate. 5"x 15" footprint? |
|
| |
Perhaps it can actually double as a toaster. The crumbs at the bottom are washed away when the dishes are cleaned. |
|
| |
Sound as a great idea. Btw, kbecker what particular ultrasonic bath did you use for your "experiment"? |
|
| |
How about something which could mount under a cabinet (like Black & Decker's "Spacemaker" products), or on a wall? |
|
| |
Now if they can just make one of these for a single outfit. Sometimes all of my clothes are dirty and I just need one shirt and a pair of pants. |
|

What, you don't have a dog? They lick dishes real clean! |

"Dishwashers use less water and detergent than humans when doing the dishes" You have proof of this? Meh... Lazy i think. |
