Out of the Box - two dishwashers (GSP)

A normal household doesn't need two ovens either, yet many have them (we do too)... the great thing about a new build is that you can design things to suit yourself or eliminate small everyday problems. For me, for example, it was always an issue that I often get up at night, the light disturbed my husband. Now we have mini lamps under the bed that are controlled by motion detectors.

It's also a matter of taste whether someone likes the appearance or not, that's certainly not an argument as it's subjective. It looks like a cupboard door anyway...

Decadence... mh... I also find that too judgmental. I would find it clever, but I really think it's only worthwhile for large families.

can eliminate small everyday problems

But this is not a small "everyday problem."

Decadence...mh... I also find that too judgmental.

Of course, it’s also subjective. But if someone doesn’t even want to empty their dishwasher anymore, it’s heading in that direction. I could now exaggerate and say: Then just give up cabinets and the cutlery drawer as well. Just three or four dishwashers and the kitchen setup is scattered.

We are now three, but planning for 5 people in the next 3-4 years. There is some truth to the fact that my perception might now be distorted by Corona. Especially since I currently only have a 40 cm dishwasher. Hmm, probably more of a crazy idea after all. Do dishwashers break if you don’t use them regularly (several times a week)?

Do GSPs break if you don't use them regularly (several times a week)?

As far as I know, no. I currently use a large-capacity dishwasher as a single person. It doesn't harm it to go a week without running it. Saves water and tabs.

Of course, that is also subjective.

Sure, you can see it that way, but a few years ago, for example, ice cube dispensers or steam ovens were decadent, today they are common.

But if someone doesn't even want to empty their dishwasher anymore, that's already going in that direction.

That wouldn't be the argument for me either. But when I notice that the two of us as almost "daily cooks" sometimes have the problem that everything doesn't fit in at once (larger pots or the like), then I can very well imagine that with 3 kids here, there is a justified existence of a second device.

probably more of a crazy idea.

I don't see it that way, it's worth a discussion
I already wrote in the first post, if the kitchen planning allows it easily, why not? Here in the neighborhood, the household's second car stands 90% of the time in the driveway instead of being used, but no one sees that as decadent.
