I’ve thought about getting like 5 and replacing all cabinets. A lower end dishwasher is about the same as a custom cabinet $150-$300).

At that point you could start washing your neighbors’ dishes as a service.

Connect those dishwashers to a cloud based backend, add in a little NLP onto the ordering interface, then slap an app and a nice slide deck on top and I think this KaaS offering could be ready for Series A funding before the summer :D

Then introduce a new blockchain payment coin (might I suggest DishCoin?) and you're off to the races!

Assuming an average repair rate of one fault every five years, you'll be needing to service or replace one of those dishwashing cabinets every single year.

Not quite. You would not quintuple your dishwashing usage, so you wouldn’t expect to quintuple your service requirements.

But double, that I would believe.

Think of all the time savings of putting dishes away that’s what keeps me excited.

Don't skimp om dishwasher quality. You'd think 'hiw different can they be', but a cheap dishwasher is only slightly better than none at all (having to rinse, redoing things that weren't cleaned well, frequent breakage/blockage) whereas a good one is a life changer.

Miele. Twice as expensive as most others, but they'll last 20 years.
