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.
