I've never heard of those, but it sounds useful if you've got a small apartment.

Sounds like a great idea; you deserve it!
While you're at it, buy the pictured kitchen too!

When I bought my 2nd home, first house, I moved from an apartment, in 1981 there was an upmarket dishwasher in the kitchen. I sold it and bought a small freezer to fit in the space. Actually most of the year, I did not turn the freezer on although the freezer in my refrigerator was not very large. When I moved to NZ and bought my 3rd home in 2010 there was a dishwasher in the kitchen. I had the kitchen remodelled and actually the dishwasher is the only thing that remains from the original kitchen. I use the dishwasher about once per month as I have been told it can deteriorate if not used. I only wash up once per day after breakfast and sometimes, if I am going out, it seems easier to use the dishwasher. But rinsing, stacking etc is almost as time consuming as actually washing. I do use it when I have a visitor staying but that is no more than 10 days per year, mainly my sister. The only entertaining I do is for morning or afternoon tea.
The new refrigerator I bought when I moved to NZ does have a separate larger freezer.
From when I bought my first home in 1976, I am on my 2nd refrigerator, 3rd stove, 3rd clothes washer, never owned a clothes drier. The white goods industry would not survive long if everyone was like me. ;D

My parents kept their appliances for a long time as well. The first refrigerator I remember them having they got as a wedding gift from a family member. They had gotten themselves a new refrigerator, and offered their old one to mom and dad, as it wasn't very old, and was still in great near-new shape. They had that fridge until I was about 20, so it lasted almost 25 years or so.
As for your 'no drier' comment, you made me laugh out loud at a memory of a conversation between me and Matthew.
When we first started talking, we would joke about America having all modern conveniences, while New Zealand was one big country/farm. (I know that's not true, but it was fun to tease Matthew that way).
Anyway, as I was driving him and Rich around NJ, showing them various neighborhoods, we passed a house that had what I call a "clothes umbrella" in their yard. Looked like this:
Matthew had asked why he only saw one house with this, as all over New Zealand, people hang their clothes outside to dry, and in fact, if you didn't have something like this on your property in NZ, a realtor may tell you to add one before you sell, as people expect to have one.
I turned to Matthew and said:
"Uh huh. Well....here in America we have this thing called "electricity", and we can use it to power a machine that dries our clothes for us."
The look on Matthew's face was priceless. I laughed so hard! I think the picture below is the closest I could get to how Matthew was looking at me.
