The Eco Automatic addresses one of the main drawbacks of a dishwasher -- the necessity of loading it before actually turning it on. Although some may scoff at this criticism since there couldn't possibly be another alternative, Eco Automatic offers just that.
A sink and dishwasher in one, the Eco Automatic allows the user to simply place their dirty dishes into the sink for them to get a nice, thorough cleaning without you breaking a sweat. Designed by Ahhaproject, a German and Korean design studio, this dishwasher-sink hybrid relies heavily on a clever rotating mechanism. At the press of a button, a packed sink pivots 180 degrees, disappearing under the counter, while a second sink appears in its stead. A seamless routine is then set into place thanks to the Eco Automatic.
