Brand: Fisher & Paykel

Located in: Appliances, Dishwashers

Fisher Paykel imagined the ideal dishwasher...and the concept of the DishDrawer was born. Years of research and refinement have created an appliance that offers a compelling blend of form and function. Each drawer is independently operated, allowing you to wash small loads as economically as large ones. DishDrawer lets you match the wash programme to the contents, so dishes are better cared for.

With two independently operated drawers, the double DishDrawer™ delivers two dishwashers in one. Put delicate crystal in one drawer, and heavily soiled pots in the other, then simply choose the wash programme for each drawer.
DishDrawer™ is two totally separate, independently operated wash units, the DishDrawer™ delivers two dishwashers in one. DishDrawer™ allows you to mix delicate crystal and heavily soiled baking dishes all at the same time, washing the delicate glassware and crockery in one wash unit on the delicate cycle, with pots and pans in the other wash unit on a heavy duty cycle. Because DishDrawer™ lets you match the wash programme to the type of load, there is no compromise. Dishes are better cared for.
Needless to say there is more this wash than merely swishing some water about. A choice of nine wash programmes, including an eco option for each cycle to minimise water and energy usage.

We love our Fisher & Paykel dishdrawers!

By BubbieinBaltimore

from Baltimore, MD on 3/4/2009

Pros:

Attractive Design, Cleans Well, Easy To Load, Energy Efficient, Kosher-kitchen friendly, Simple Controls

Cons:

Noisy

Best Uses:

Kosher kitchens

Describe Yourself:

Avid Cook

Bottom Line:

Comments about Fisher & Paykel Energy Star Double DishDrawer - DD605:

We have had our Fisher & Paykel double dishdrawers for about 8 years, and we love them. They have been reliable, they clean well, and they are convenient and energy efficient. Because the water enters and exits separately for each drawer, they are ideal for a kosher kitchen that has room for only "one" dishwasher.

Comments about Fisher & Paykel Energy Star Double DishDrawer - DD605:

I installed this in a home kitchen after using it in a condominium. I really like the upper drawer facility (no bending over), and it is quiet enough to be in an open kitchen/dining area. THe finish is also easy to keep clean. A winner!

Much better than expected

By carylina

from raleigh, nc on 6/24/2008

Pros:

Easy To Load, Fast Cycle, Large Capacity, Quiet, Varied capacity

Describe Yourself:

Casual Cook

Bottom Line:

Comments about Fisher & Paykel Energy Star Double DishDrawer - DD605:

we were somewhat reluctant that the d/w would not accommodate our family of four (w/ two teenagers). we are completely impressed with the capacity of the two drawers. We are able to fit our dinner plates and cutting boards - which were our two concerns - with no effort.

we use the energy setting and the cycle is 38 mins long and cleans great.

the two drawer option is by far the best feature. this was well worth the money. we have only had it three weeks, so can't comment on durability.

enjoy!

No regrets, excellent product

Comments about Fisher & Paykel Energy Star Double DishDrawer - DD605:

We just installed the dishdrawers and so far so good. Very excited to make them a part of our daily life and eliminate waiting for the dishwasher to get full before being able to wash spoons or bowls or whatever one dish we're out of at the moment. Genius idea that should have been thought of a long time ago.
