First world problem alert 🚨

We are currently doing a once-in-a-lifetime kitchen extension and redesign.
This is the last part of the refurb of our forever family home which we bought as a bit of a wreck so very keen to get it right so I never have to have builders set foot in the house again..!

We have seen quite a few kitchen companies, and half of them have suggested getting 2 dishwashers, suggesting it’s up there with a boiling water tap as a family essential.

The company we’ve ended up going with for the kitchen was Team OneDishwasherOnly but I am now having buyers remorse and wondering if I should ask them to incorporate a second one into the design.
It would mean sacrificing some cupboard space, but I’m wondering if that’s worth it?

We are a family of 4, and love cooking, having people over, doing big roasts, so can envisage times when we would need both
But can also see that for the majority of the time, we wouldn’t

Arghhhh

@thelegohooverer - ive just been muttering to myself about this! Having said our new dishwasher holds a ton more, I'm pretty much over the cutlery tray.. yes it holds a ton of silverware, but cannot cope with kitchen scissors, tongs, peeler, whisk,
anything wider than a fork. I'm seriously considering going back to the cutlery basket, even though I'll lose space for bowls Grin
