Those knives would get absolutely backsplashed by bacteria.
They'd also be very difficult to place and remove.
Some people will literally do anything to avoid using/purchasing a dishwasher. I don't get it. Hand washing is unsanitary, time-consuming, and wastes water. Just fork over the $600 and get one already. It'll change your life for the better.
I prefer paying my rent over kitchen appliances
It doesn't have to waste more water. There are ways to do the dishes where you only use water to rinse off the already washed plates. That is in fact less water than with a dishwasher. Maybe you are thinking of washing the dished with the water constantly on.
You need to check your available space privilege.
I have both. I'm not putting my plastic salad spinner or German chef knives or old plastic food storage containers or blender jar or my pots and pans and etc. in the dishwasher. Restaurants have human dishwashers for valid reasons.
How is it unsanitary?
Because the machine is generally more reliable at doing it in a more sanitary way. People often cut corners when doing it manually.
Some of us rent. I want a dishwasher, I can't have a dishwasher here
Ok, and how are you fitting it in your kitchen when all cabinets are overflowing and you do not feel like removing your oven.
I put it in the space for the dishwasher. If you do not have such a space in your kitchen, there are standalone units, even countertop variants. You could remove a cabinet if you can afford to lose the space.
Good thing countertops have no use in a kitchen!
Many people rent. You can't just remove a cabinet in that case. Can't decide how big the kitchen is either. I'm sorry, but your comments come off as very privilaged and honestly ignorant.
So you wheel it around?
