Thanks for the photos. I don't have anything like this, but want others who have them to weigh in to see what they think.

My gut is no, hell no ;-)

I can see if space is at a premium, but then again, if space is at a premium, why waste it on racks that air-dry vs. just drying and putting away as you go?

That's why you have 2 DW's. One dirty and one clean. Serves the same function. Actually, it's better than a drying cabinet, as it also washes those dishes.

"That's why you have 2 DW's." I guess for some, but I don't have 2 DWs and I've never NEEDED to run two even after entertaining lots of dinner guests. How hard is it to unload a DW? Certainly would never install a second DW as dish storage. I wonder if the Europeans, among others, are more inclined to practical solutions that are off the power grid. Granted, a second DW is not going to have a huge impact on electrical or hot water costs, but one day we're going to have to account for all those extra appliances that have to get power from somewhere. We already have brown/blackout periods on hot summer days where I live and I suspect there will be more in the future.

You're missing the epoint of 2 DW's. You don't have dish storage elsewhere at all to unload into. You use the DWs as dish storage cabinets. That clean the dishes. The DWs last 2x as long, and don't use any more energy than using a single one.

I think its an excellent idea. I'm moving from a double bowl sink that sits behind a bar to a single bowl sink with the counter on one level open to my family room. I won't have that 2nd bowl free to put all my overflow anymore and I sure as heck don't want to put a drain board on my marble counters on full display. Being able to stash stuff after washing in a 'safe', yet out of my eyesight, place sounds peachy.

The moisture factor so close to my cabinets freaks me out! Otherwise I love the idea.

Sophie's point makes a lot of sense but it has to be balanced against the cost of owning/maintaining two dishwashers. However, it would also go towards eliminating some upper storage. That would be another bonus.

In our house, with just the two of us, we would more likely just need double dishdrawers, but the market for these DWs is so small I would be hesitant to try it.

We are a 2 person household and I loved my stacked F&P dish drawers that worked trouble free for 10 years. I alternated drawers for clean and dirty so I do understand the rationale of using 2 DWs for cleaning and storage.

During kitchen update I debated whether to keep and reinstall, get new ones, or get shin-banging drop down door model. I was advised not to reinstall the old ones, intended to buy new ones but found that F&P is now owned by Chinese conglomerate Haier (admit to bias against buying Chinese) so I have the shin-banger that cleans wonderfully and sooo quietly, but I miss those drawers!

The guy who installed my original dishdrawers said he had them in his home and they are usually trouble-free if installed correctly. My experience backs that up.

To stephan's point, particularly in your second photo, you'd have to take your dripping dishes over the cabinet's wooden frame to get them into the rack. I can't imagine all that water not ruining your cabinets in very short order.

Those over-the-sink racks are wonderfully charming and often found in retro kitchens without dishwashers.

Two issues should be considered: depending on height it's a head banger. But more important, it would interfere with my over-the-sink light which is one of the most important in my kitchen.

I've seen those used for display but usually over a prep or bar sink. Could be used for dish storage in a pantry over a pantry sink. Or dish storage over a prep sink. But it needs clearance IMO

For me, most of the stuff I handwash isn't plates--it's pots & pans & wooden spoons & water bottles & sheet pans. I love the look of those above-sink drying racks, but they don't look to me like they'd actually take what I hand-wash that well. Would love to hear from someone that it works fine...

The DripDry avoids water and moisture from your cabinet because the installation kit has a way to open the bottom of your cabinet so it drains straight to the sink. It’s guaranteed to work in any cabinet. I love mine ! The only downside is I had to hire a carpenter but the cost was well worth the aesthetics and function.
