I was at someone else's house and after diner they stacked all the dishes on the worktop/countertop/bench/side* and then subsequently had to de-stack them and arrange them in the front-loading dishwasher.
Proposed is a mechanism which retracts the section of worktop/countertop/bench/side* downwards
and tips the dishes into the dishwasher, a bit like those lift-entry underground carparks.
I suppose the dishwasher could empty the dishes by dumping them downwards through a hatch in the bottom but this part needs more work.
Saves domestic arguments about how person [x] did not stack the dishes properly.

They don't do that already? They should. [+] |

I am interested that there were significantly more dishwasher ideas created in the early years of the halfbakery. |
|

There's always room for another dishwasher idea. I mean sex and violence haven't featured so far, nor have aliens or religion so there's plenty of fertile, unexplored territory in dishwasher-land of the free. |

I graphed it. 2004 is a big cluster, more there than the past decade. Not enough data to pull any serious analysis, would also need some data for normalization, e.g. some metric of total site engagement. I'll keep an eye on it for the next decade or so and we'll see where we are then. |

Wow, [bs0u0155], that is SO sexy ... Do you have a sister (asking for a friend)? |
|
| |
[bs0u0155] we should also probably add in ideas that have dishwasher in the title from other categories. I don't see a way to filter just idea titles (I am stupid at this kind of thing) but including every idea that includes the word "dishwasher" in it, shows a similar distribution. |

No tipping! Tipping is breaking! Instead, the whole rack of dirty dishes drops down into the washer proper and a new counter work surface with a rack slides into place. |
|
| |
When complete, a side opens and the rack of clean dishes slides across and becomes shelves, leaving the washer ready for the next rack to drop down from the counter level. Need a clean plate? Just reach down into the clean rack; no stacking, moving or breaking. |

As per my comment earlier in the week, the washing of dishes is fertile territory - see link to my latest idea posting |

When space allows, I fully intend to have a kitchen with 2 dishwashers. This solves my main criticism of the appliance - when clean, there's nowhere to put the one dirty fork you just used without emptying the whole thing. So, have 2: Take clean dishes from one, use, place into 2nd dishwasher for dirty dishes. When full, run it and reverse. |
|
| |
[buOu] With my system you only. need one washer mechanism and two racks. The rest of it is done with rails, trap doors, and servos. |
|
| |
That dirty fork now has a home, temporarily, while the rest of the counter rack is being filled. |
|
| |
Not owning a dishwasher, I come up with so many ideas for the Luddite hand-washer which I repress and discard immediately, realizing I may be one of the last ones. I dream of larger, compartmentalized sinks, soap dispensers, elaborate nozzles and brush arrangements, self-cleaning dish rags, etc. All for nothing...buggy whips buried along with the horses. |
