> Does it take the plates one by one from my hand and then puts them back in the cupboard, already dry?
Replacing all of your kitchen cupboards with the 4 or so dishwashers would only cost $2000 dollars, so yes, you could do that if you were so inclined. Also note that top end models do have a drying feature.
> What if I need this plate RIGHT NOW, it's just a single plate, shouldn't take more than a minute.
Do you only own a single plate? Just buy more and use a different one, you've already got a robot to clean them for you.
> What if I burn my food, will it scrub the pans for me?
"soak and scour" is a feature on high-end commercial machines these days, but soaking the pan overnight and then throwing it in the dishwasher in the morning has served me well. My teflon coated pans don't seem to have as much problem with requiring scrubbing after burns though.
Maybe owning dishwasher isn't quite the robotic maid you were promised, but having lived with and without one, I consider a dishwasher a requirement for modern living.
