Looks neat and space efficient, but I have questions about why someone keeps fruit next to the dishes.
Don’t worry, they’re plastic.
Thats a pathetic little kitchen faucet. Real grownups use professional multi-spray kitchen faucets with removable head and swivel action…
Oh yeah baby that’s it
I considered this, but was forbidden: The limescale would leave it looking manky.
The trick is to wipe it down with a wet soft wipe regularly, you dont even need chemicals.
Even if you don’t you don’t need chemicals. Just some water and citric acid.
True, but even citric acid can hurt chrome coating long term. 1/10 citric acid/water ratio is recommended.

Depends how rich you are. Most of rent…
True, the one on the picture is an overkill for meme reasons
🍆
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
That would cause me so much claustrophobia at the sink i would stop washing dishes.
I’ve always wanted the version built into a cabinet, but I live in a high-humdity area and that just screams of mold issues. Why not the version as pictured in the open? Earthquakes. Still, definitely at the point in my life that it’s awesome at least in theory
I wondered if they perforated the bottom shelf of those cabinets so water could just drain out into the sink?
Some of them (the Finnish ones I saw) just had the bottom being the rack, basically, so at least that had dripping and airflow. Having an actual board below it would be a terrible idea, I think, heh.
It’s the double sink that gets me. I’ve lived in places with a double sink. I do not have a double sink right now.
I need double sink in my life.Such a pain moving from a country where it is the default to a country where it is unheard of.
I too dream of a double sink.
Use the poor man’s replacement plastic tub.

This is the way. Double sinks suck. With this you have a double when you need, but can also waeh big things like oven sheets.
On the one hand I’d love that but on the other it’s more cleaning
No not really. There’s pretty much zero maintenance on stainless steel sinks. Once in a blue moon you can wash down the sinks while doing dishes but it really happens less than you think.
To be fair I do have to wipe my sinks more often, only because we have rather hard water in this area. The scale builds up quickly.
Ok so that takes you what an extra 30-90 seconds like once or twice a month? That’s negligible. The other person Almost made it sound like he had to spend hours because of extra basin.
Yeah pretty much. It’s not a big issue though one which could become compounded into one if there is any slack with the cleaning times.
Same here, I deep clean it, then as soon as I open the water for a split second, it’s all white again
I’ve resorted, about a year or so ago, to using large bottles of natural spring water for the kettle (when making tea/coffee).
It’s an extra expense, however the lack of scaling has been lovely. Not had to clean my kettle once.My sink is another story though.
Brita filters are cheaper per litre (you can do more than 100l per filter if it’s for a kettle) and create less waste. Personally I only change the filter when I notice residue in the kettle and it’s been so long I have to clean out the jug with citric acid so I clean the kettle at the same time.
Yeah the kettle gets bottle water, it’d be a block of limestone by now otherwise.
What do you do with double sink? I’ve never had a double sink and I can’t imagine how I would use it
It makes washing dishes incredibly efficient, with less water wastage. I could wash the dishes for a family of four in absolutely no time at all, but without a double sink that takes much longer with more water used.
Single sink makes cleaning pans so much easier. Everything smaller goes in the dish washer, so much faster than hand cleaning.
Idk about others, but I have one sink for wash water, and one for rinse water.
And you, just, like, put a clean dish in the same stale water as all the others? I am shivering just thinking about! Only the first couple of plates will be clean, everything else is dirty with the shit from previous plate!
The rinse water is clean and stays clean. You’re rinsing off the soap suds. You can wash a shit ton of dishes and the end result is the wash water is dirty and the rinse water is clear. Frankly you’re being absurd, you’re not shoveling dirty water into the rinse water JFC. The rinse cycle on a dishwasher is wayyy worse.
How can it stay clean if you just put all your dirty plates there? And oils, all the oils are floating on top! And all the pieces and bits, just there!
Are you serious? Dish soap breaks down oil. You wash in the dish soap. Which breaks down the oil. Bits and pieces come off in the wash water. When you pick up the dish, the wash water comes off. Carrying the bits and pieces with it. Back into the wash water. Some soap suds remain, which you rinse off in the rinse water. Have you never washed dishes?
It’s actually not exactly true. Soap doesn’t break down oil. It attaches to the oil molecules, and attaches to a water molecule by the other end. Which, when the water is running away and takes all this mess into the drain, is incredibly effective. With the stagnant pool of water, less so.
I did wash the dishes in buckets when I was young, lived in poverty, and had to do it all by hands. I still remember that feeling of always dirty dishes, that’s why I am always terrified when people do it on purpose.
I’m not sure what you mean. I fully wash the dish in the wash water, then put it in the straight hot rinse water for a minute or so before putting it in the drainer to air dry. The hot water helps them air dry faster and rinses the soap off. If the rinse water is any less than completely clear, I’m not washing the properly, and I drain and refresh the rinse sink. In my opinion it saves water over rinsing each dish under running water.
it saves water
Oh, with big enough amounts, sure.
Yeah, it didn’t save much water when I was single. Half the time I didn’t even fill the wash sink.
I can say with certainty you have never hand washed a sink full of dishes before.
I did, in that terrible time without the dishwasher, that I would like to forget. I was taking a plate, scrubbing it with a sponge and then rinsing it with clean water from the tap.
Or do you want me to tell, y’all using a dirty sink full of dirty water to do it?They sure are and “what do you mean rinsing with clean water?” say some folks in Europe
Not sure if we can blame the commercials
I don’t use dishwashers, but I hand wash and rinse everything, as well as change the water when it’s greasy or otherwise too dirty.
And I can taste when dishes have been in a dishwasher, for 40 years+
That’s a terrible ineffective method, and a waste of water.
Fill one sink with hot water + soup, put as much dishes in it as possible to soak them, and fill the other sink with fresh hot water. Clean one dish after another, preferably with a brush (you’ll burn your hands using a sponge), rinse them in the clean water, and put them on the dryer.
If you do not have a second sink, use a tub for either purpose.
And yes, the water will get dirty and cool over time, and you’ll have to switch if you’ve got too much dishes.
Of course, if you’re only cleaning a plate and a knife and perhaos a glas, using just the tap is far more efficient.
But the water is dirty. All this dirt you cleaned is there, in your water, floating, clinging to whatever comes close.
No, you don’t use dirty water, you use clean water.
Furthermore, the dirt does not cling to your dishes – it dissolves in the water, aided by soap. If it would cling to the dishes, you wouldn’t be able to rinse it off, either.
Interesting once I figured out he doesn’t know how soap works on the grime of dishes. Almost like it was invented to overcome this exact problem.
Hahaha funny shit.
Watch a video on how soap works in water and dishes to get them clean. Funny shit reading your confusion.
As I understand from the other comments, it’s a place to put the dishes after they’ve been cleaned and ready for rinsing? The way I’ve always done it is I clean the largest vessel first, then everything goes into that vessel until it fills up, then do a round of rinsing. If I don’t have a large dirty vessel, I take out a large clean mixing bowl for this purpose.
I’ve always tried to tell my SO this, but she’s been skeptical. Now, we’re renting a smaller apartment while renovating our bath, and she absolutely detests having only one sink basin!
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
Just don’t ever Google the coulds of pathogens that spew forth from your drain.
There are things you are better not knowing 😭 😭 😭
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?
it ‘might’ actually exist
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.
That’s likely just the overflow drain?
You think my ADHD ass is ever unloading a drying rack? The dishes would just live there and I’d always be cramming new ones into it.
If only we had some technology that could dry a dish immediately and didn’t take up tons of space or grow mold… like some kind of flexible, absorbent material that sucks up the water? We should have NASA work on it
Stick a fan above it. Would dry it quicker.
The waiting time is not the issue
I‘d prefer some sort of drying rack machine that also automatically cleans the dishes in the first place. That’d be a crazy concept. Like, you load in dirty dishes and then you wait a little and bam, they’re clean and (mostly) dry.
Sure, but not everything goes in the dishwasher
Dishes do. Or at least the ones I have.
But yea, I would never put my good knives into a dishwasher. But I also wouldn’t put them on a rack to dry.
That’s not what your mom told me.
If my dishes are unable to survive the dishwasher gauntlet, they are too weak to stay in my kitchen
Water conservationist take^
I mean that’s what we can fall back on if we’re feeling bashful, getting critiqued for that perspective
Yeah I tried that but my wife loves the wooden spatulas and cutting boards too much
Id say. I own that same rack.
Yeah, no I’ll stick with the dishwasher.
Right? I’d get more excited about a dishwasher.
And I don’t mean one with tits. They also get to enjoy free time when the mechanical dishwasher is running.
Wtf?
Say it in a Dutch accent. It doesn’t sound as bad.
But how do you dry the dishes once the dishwasher is done? Do you leave them in the dishwasher to dry, which mean that you can’t add new dished until it’s all dry and you’ve emptied it? Do you let them dry on a counter? But in that case where do you find enough space? Or do you put the wet dishes in your cupboards even though it’ll trap moisture in there? Or do you manually wipe the dishes with towels like some crazy people do?
Good dishwashers have a heating element on the bottom. . It turns on and dries the dishes in a cloud of steam. There is also a button on mine that’s for high heat (sanitize) that I leave on. This ensures that the dishes get completely dry.
Really? Everytime I go to family or friends who have a dishwasher and help with emptying it, the dishes are always at least a bit wet… Maybe everyone I know just has cheap dishwashers 😅 Sanitizing on high heat seems like a great feature to have
I sanitize my cider bottles in the dishwasher. Works great.
That would be so convenient! Sanitizing pots and bottles in boiling water is a pain. THEY FLOAT. Plus the water is so hard here that after a long bath of boiling water you can barely see through the glass, they are clean but look so dirty 😡
No space for a dishwasher though 😢
I run it at night and it opens automatically when it’s done. Wake up to clean dry dishes.
My dishwasher dries the dishes too?
I just open the dishwasher. Pull out the bottom rack, shake the top rack a bit and deal with any puddles. Anything that’s not dry just goes back in for another hour. Leave the door open until dry.
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.
This looks like to make cleaning large pans or baking sheets unnecessarily difficult.
The knives look like a pain to load and remove though
This looks like AI.Why’s the drain on the side?
What are those cinnamon sticks?
Why put fruit on the drying rack?
Blurry ass soap labels.
The whisk and ladle are oddly placed.
Alas. I was bamboozled. It’s real crap on Wayfair, and it’s modular. It’s just set up in a dumb way for the pictures.
I actually have this thing. The knife thing is annoying and it just sits on the back acting as a brace for the dishsoap bottle. The cutting board rack is kinda dumb because it just dries onto your counter.
But the baskets are nice because they drain into the sink. It was a really cheap kitchen improvement purchase I don’t regret.
What it needs though are raised rubber gasket lined feet so it doesn’t hold bits of water under the base you have to lift and wipe up. It’s cheap material and easily modified.

knife thing is annoying
Yeah, that was the first thing I found out, looking at the picture.
One would have to tilt the holder backward to take out the knife and then make a very unnatural feeling motion to get it towards themselves. Even worse if there is no space behind the rack (there is a window in the picture that will enable that if opened)
Yup. Also: I’m tall, so now I can’t see everything that’s in the sink. It also needs some kind of anti-tip measure if the suggested use is to keep heavy dishes up high like that. Also, I’m not convinced this is sanitary - are we gonna get raw-chicken-water-splashback onto clean plates?
My short ass finds some of this helpful but not enough! It’s going to be difficult to get some of the stuff from the back of the top rack for me. More room though…
How often is your raw chicken in the sink
It’s a DRYING rack, it isn’t meant to be permanent storage. You wash the dishes after dinner, and place them in the rack. The next morning, after they’ve dried, the first thing you do is put them all back in the cabinets.
However, I acknowledge that a LOT of people won’t bother with the second step.
According to the CDC, chicken should not be rinsed to avoid Salmonella cross contamination.
Notabene: this advise is from the pre-Trump CDC.
Nah that’s just in the pictured configuration. The baskets and all the accessories just hook onto the rack frame so you can move things around to whatever config you want. Do the dish baskets on top of each other and leave the ‘flatter’ bits (like the knife block) for over the actual sink, much better config. Thirty second job even with the dishes on them.
I once had a tiny apartment and considered something like that. But it was too large to fit the space…
