Next-level wine collection not included, unfortunately.

![](http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/2014-01/enhanced/webdr03/3/17/grid-cell-5467-1388788877-4.jpg)
You can load one while the other washes. KitchenAid also makes a double drawer dishwasher.

Insane in le bain.
15. Have an extra-tall ceiling? Stretch a ceiling hammock across it.
![](http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/2013-12/enhanced/webdr05/27/17/enhanced-buzz-2908-1388182810-10.jpg)

![](http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/2013-12/enhanced/webdr05/27/17/enhanced-buzz-15087-1388183167-9.jpg)

![](http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/2014-01/enhanced/webdr02/2/14/enhanced-buzz-11128-1388689534-10.jpg)
