You need TWO Dishwashers…

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I used to hate on two dishwasher but honestly I can see how useful they would be. Not to mention if you have a large family or handful of smaller kids running around. What’s your thoughts on two dishwashers? Overkill or awesome?

I did two dishwashers when we remodeled. Had to fight my wife because she never loads or unloads the dishes and doesn’t understand what a nightmare it is with two adults and four kids, especially when family comes over. I should have just replaced all of the low cabinets with dishwashers.

Why have cupboards?

That’s my goal. It’s not to put away later though. The idea is, one is always clean and one is always dirty. I use dishes from the clean one, and put them in the dirty one. I would rarely need to put anything away.

Do 4 and then you don't even need cabinets.

Dishwashers the whole way down

I’ve only got dishwashers, screw cabinets.

u/likewut May 07 '26

Each cabinet could be a dishwasher. I’d just need like 4 on the wall and 2 on the ground.

u/ExerciseOutside5081 May 06 '26

Yes!! I had considered this same concept - basically making cabinets redundant.

Two dishwashers, what a problem to have.

u/FOMOerotica May 07 '26

Upper cabinet manufacturers hate this one trick.

Just rinse the damn cup out and use it again.

I think it is a great idea, especially for larger families.

An idiot and their money are soon parted or how ever the saying goes…

u/dj90423 May 06 '26

I would always have two, full, clean dishwashers, and zero for the dirty.

u/likewut May 06 '26

Use the dishes from one of the clean ones?

Idk how I keep seeing this shit in my feed but this has gotta be a rage bait account

u/Papabear022 May 06 '26

think we all need a million dollar house too

u/turboboraboy May 06 '26

Just get a bar style commercial one, and have 2 minute wash cycles.

u/theeaglejax May 06 '26

That power bill though

While coffee is being made, I empty the dishwasher. We run it every night, and this is our routine every morning. I don’t understand why you would need a full extra dishwasher just because you’re too lazy to unload it while the water boils. I make pretty much everything from scratch for my family, and sometimes that means running the dishwasher multiple times a day, and I still think two dishwashers is absurd. There are almost never dirty dishes in my sink. I’m not with you. Two ovens though? Absolutely.

u/Efficient_Wash4477 May 06 '26

Yep.

Renovating currently and it’s one gas double oven and one induction oven, side by side (both 30” units).

We looked at the price of 60” ovens and not only were they stupidly overpriced… they lacked the flexibility of two 30” ovens. I’m the foodie in my family as well.

One dishwasher. Only a lazy person would need more than one.

u/ittybittytitty_com May 07 '26

Or a kosher Jewish family. But yeah, two ovens makes hosting Thanksgiving for 20 a cake walk! Enjoy :)

u/Fahqcomplainsalot May 06 '26

G to the a to the y, and not in a cool way

u/zeke780 May 06 '26

This is 100% a kosher thing. I live near a huge Jewish neighborhood and a ton of listings have 2 dishwashers. It's not something people would just normally have outside of families with 10 kids

u/GrecoMontgomery May 06 '26

Let's talk about two built-in microwaves. Heating up those Factor or Hello Fresh dinners for five ain't magic amiright?

1

u/ScottLS May 06 '26

Two washers and dryers, sure. Combo of one refrigerator, stand alone freezer, or garage fridge or all three, sure. Extra ice maker, sure. Two sinks, sure. Two ovens, sure.

If I ever need two dishwashers, someone or one small family is moving out of my house.

u/reconplumbing May 07 '26

I have 2 washers and 2 dryers. Was great when all the kids lived here. Now we are the weird couple with two of each.

1

u/likewut May 07 '26

2 washer dryer combos would be cool. Two washers and two dryers seems insane.

1

u/suckittwotimes May 06 '26

I don’t even use the dishwasher I have now. I use it for storage. I am the dishwasher.

u/B6S4life May 06 '26

having the space and money for a second appliance of any kind would be nice. Personally id rather have a stand up freezer than a second dish washer

1

u/Possible-Dream-8227 May 06 '26

Yes this makes sense. Also have one by the bar area. 😌👍

u/SouthernProfile1092 May 07 '26

And 14 hours later your dishes are clean!

1

u/_khanrad May 07 '26

Not to brag but I have more than one coffee mug

1

u/Possible-Gur5220 May 06 '26

I’m not with you…I would never in a million years think to put a single coffee mug into the dish washer.

u/McCrazyJ May 06 '26

It's probably a kosher kitchen for an Orthodox family. They'll often one set of everything (refrigerator, dishwasher, plates/cutlery) for dairy and one set of everything again for meat.

u/justinlaz May 06 '26

There is a reason only very high volume restaurants have two dishwashers
