If you rent in nyc you probably know that dishwashers are hard to come by. Life was keeping up with handwashing dishes like Sisyphus rolling a boulder up a mountain.
Then I set this up. Takes up the same amount of space as my now replaced drying rack, and easily connects to the sink. It WORKS, Y'ALL. Surprisingly well. Had it for 6 months now and it may be the best purchase I've made so far this decade.
It’s the size of Carmela Soprano’s kitchen tv but with only 1 channel: dishwashing. I am a neat freak in a tiny apartment and this gives me so much joy. It’s not even the large/bulky dishes that are so tedious to wash by hand- it’s the jars/bottles with small ass plastic pieces/lids! Byeeee tedium!!!
I live alone and bought a mini dishwasher because my apartment didn’t have one and it absolutely changed my life. Not super cheap (I think mine was like $250), but I use it at least daily and it’s saved me probably days in my life at this point (I’ve had it for two years). It might feel like a silly purchase, but it’s been huge for me
Delete the app if you have it. Rediscover what you used to do before you scrolled--play piano, read books, practice stupid magic tricks, draw little doodles, make up games, find the most interesting cloud in the sky...
