You are trying to fit the “future” in with “today”. We will change/advance more in the next 100 years than we have in the last 50,000. We ARE talking about a dishwasher, yes, but in a kitchen we have yet to see. You’re right, homes HAVEN’T changed that much, but they will. We are already seeing much more modular homes/furniture, as well as kitchens that convert into living rooms etc(granted, not so much in the US but elsewhere where sqftage is minimal and you want to maximize your space.) Imagine if this thing were silent, and perhaps mounted flush with your wall(above your sink to keep the plumbing easy), jutting out only to accept its dirty work. I, for one, dig the design.

So, in the ‘Future’ this thing, the fridge, dishwasher, oven, cooktop, rangehood and sink are all stand alone feature pieces? Your kitchens going to be a disaster.

Improvements:
The screen is unreadable but kickable at that height.
I doubt that this (if actually possible) technology is attained its going to need a bit more width than half a foot.
Being that thin and stand alone make it prone to being knocked over.
People don’t really care about the status of their conveyor belt.
Why do you need bluetooth plugin? or a status?
White with green or orange was cool 4 years ago. Not anymore.
The gumboot design is not the best aesthetic.

Homes don’t change that much, look at houses from the 1890′s, not a lot different than now. The reason is simple, we have not changed much in the last 50,000 years.

it would be great to see some in context illustrations to support your vision on how you would see this in a house hold. Would it be a wall mounted unit, on a table, …? If you do a few of those illustrations, of course with a user, it would answer a lot of questions and could be pretty effective. Good luck!

This sounds similar to the MIT plate making machine (video on youtube).

Designer states that this device also cleans the plates, but there is no stated method used to clean the plates nor waste discharge method.

I believe that washing by hands is a great means in terms of sanitary condition. Yet sometimes, there is a trouble once again in performing many task at once in order to clean and then dry in on a rack to keeping it in a proper storage area. (I know you won’t want to wash using your hands after this!) =X hahahaha Well.. that will in the future of dishwashers. I do agree with u too about the first impressions of current dishwashers. Totally agree with its water wastage and what nots.
Cheers! Thanks for the feedback!

Well… that’s a critical feedback, i believe it would be for future homes whereby the environment will be much different in the next 90 years. Then again, i still have to learn how to be it in a context as it is difficult to realise the design when there is not context. Please do guide me with this on what do you feel i can improve on =)
Thanks for the feedback!
