Who's There?
I don't know if I like having to knock twice (or at all) just to open the door.
I guess, yeah, it's nice that it's flush with the cabinetry if you're looking to hide your appliances but why would you have to hide it if it was a work of art.
What happens when it fails to open?
I'd rather it show. The simple grace of a well crafted handle or pride in showing off your stainless steal or black or white or cabinate matching motif.

That's neat!
Definitely neat! I wonder what happens if some1 knocks while the machine is operating... perhaps it'll halt the cycle and open... duh!
About opening the door in an emergency... I guess there would be a safety lever hidden somewhere (for the user to know) which allows to open the appliance should the opening mechanism fail or if there was a power cut.
I wonder when they're gonna provide their appliances with remote controls... maybe some already have... or have they?

I am missing...
...the usefulness or advantage of this "double-knock opening".
And what if all the cabinets in the kitchen have handles? Am I expected to double-knock to open any drawer or door in the kitchen?

Remote Control
Some range hoods have remote controls. Certainly the ones that are mounted into the ceiling. Miele's TOL units have Con@ctivity, which controls the hood's lights and fan according to the settings of the cook top under it.

What's the point?
I never realized there was something wrong with simply pulling the door open.
Just another marketing gimmick.

These dishwashers are made for kitchens like the ones made by SieMatic - see link below. These are pretty popular among people who can afford them. It's really the concept of the German "Einbauküche" (built-in-kitchen), where everything blends in seamlessly.

Too Funny!
I love it! Joe's picture reminds me of Joe Theisman talking about that "sudden urge to go" and you picture a pissplosion. This is better, though, with the door blown off the hinges. Where did you find the picture? Is there any story about it? The silver basket looks like a Maytag.

Here is a picture from the SieMatic website. This is a modern kitchen design. You can recognise the dishwasher by the small handle. A "knock knock" dishwasher would be a good solution in this particular case so the design isn't disturbed.
Yup, that is considered a modern kitchen in Germany. Just, you know, very... sleek. I prefer handles.

Sleek Design...
Logixx, my parents have a kitchen very similar to the one posted in your pic, very simple geometric shapes and a few small hidden handles. Everything is hidden, even oven, the hob, the sink, you name it! It was made by an unusual brand called something like SHIC or SCIC (not sure... I wish I could find a pic). At the time it was available in white or 2 shades of mahogany (theirs is the darker... very elegant). It's looked after tremendously well, in fact it's over 35 years old and it's still look relatively new... well, it definitely would in a picture!
All the appliances are of some totally unknown name, I remember the funny name... 'Fratelli Onofri'... amazingly they're still living to date with very few repairs... although, should certain components within them go wrong, it'd be impossible to find spares nowadays.
