Just put the ultrasonic actuators onto your sink basin, and have a dish rack built in to it as well.

Fill with water & soap, insert dirty dishes.

Then when you head out for work in the morning, turn it on. let it buzz for 30 minutes or so, and then have a separate actuator drain the dirty water, refill and drain a second time as a rinse, and then drain again to let dry.

That would be what, $1200 in parts and a season of testing to make work?

Hmm some potential problems:

I don't like the idea of having the dirty dishes right next to the clean ones so this would require at least 2 sinks so one can be loaded throughout the day

My desktop ultrasonic cleaner is so loud that I can't work in the same room. Transducers that can clean an entire sink (>10x volume) will likely be so loud that I can't work in the same building when it's running

If anyone in the building works from home, the unit will have to be soundproofed on all sides. That's way harder for a sink that's built into the countertop
