The linked article says nothing but good things about dishwashers with built-in grinders. So I’m skeptical… it doesn’t give a balanced view.
Isn’t there a risk that small non-food objects end up getting smashed up? What happens when a small cocktail fork ends up in the drain? Wouldn’t that cause a disaster for the grinder?
Traditional dishwashers have the periodic user maintenance task of cleaning out the filter. I just wonder if the cure is worse than the disease by bringing in a grinder. It’s another thing to break.
most dishwashers have it these days, i feel they wouldnt work properly without that function. the trap filter is much too fine for something like a fork to get through. the holes are like 2mm diameter
