Instead of a cutlery drawer/plate cupboard?

Not much thought has gone into this but why not have a dirty DW and a clean one, then I wouldn't have to put cutlery away?

Please talk me out of it before I do something stupid.

I live on my own but yes I figured that if it was a genius idea then loads of people would be doing it.

Can't have two dishwashers AND plate/cutlery storage as it's a small kitchen but maybe I'm back to the drawing board

I wouldn't, you know someone would get mixed up, albeit unintentional. Think what you could buy instead, say more powerful cleaner.

OMG new kitchen completed just this week with 2 dishwashers and I absolutely love it too! No excuses for things to be left out when the machine is full or running. No reason not to use the slow ECO function. I agree though that it wouldn’t be as good if it needed to be used for storage because of mixing up clean and dirty. How about having 2 machines and 3 cutlery baskets with one full of clean stuff living on the counter?

Can't see that actually working. You would have to use up everything from the clean one before starting again. You are bound to get in a muddle and someone will inevitably put dirty stuff on top of the clean when they can't remember which one they're supposed to use today.

We have 2 and I LOVE it. We still have cutlery and plate drawers though. It stops any dirty pile up in the sink so generally one is being stacked dirty whilst the other is running.
