Love this dishwasher.

A friend of mine has this dishwasher and she just loves it so when I renovated my kitchen, I put one in and I have to say that it lives up to its reputation. In California, where water is scarce it’s nice to not have to rinse everything before putting it in the dishwasher. I got the extra large top drawer and I love it that I don’t have to bend way down to put dishes in the bottom half of a typical dishwasher. The drawer is just perfect and because it saves water, you can run it as often as you want and you’re still gonna use less water then if you stall your dishes before putting them in a traditional dishwasher. I would definitely recommend this product.

Not what I expected

????We chose the dishwasher as a space saver. There are 2 of us, after all. But all the cycles take too long to go through, even fast. We have to wait too long to use them for our next meal. If the cycle does finish then if we want to use our dishes they have to be dried. ☹️ I wouldn't mind that if I could "opt out" of the drying cycle but it's part of the process and not useful at all. It's a waste of electricity. ☹️The racks aren't adjustable enough either. We've taken most of them out and just use it as an overly expensive drying rack.???? It's helpful that we don't eat meats or oil, just plants ???? that wash up easily but I wish I had saved my money. ???? ???? Installation was a nightmare too. The instructions and video were practically worthless. ????There was no details of certain sections, we ended up with 2 long L shaped pieces of metal that weren't in the booklet or mentioned on the video. I couldn't find any help online about what they were for so they're in our garage. ???????? I also hate stainless steel. ???? It's so cold and industrial and such an eyesore in my cozy kitchen. It was the only option tho' so I'm stuck. ????The one good thing that came out of our purchase was because we removed our 24" to put this in, we have storage room at the bottom. ????

Fantastic Dishwasher!

Does a great job of cleaning dishes and is so quite I have to double check it to ensure it is on!

2nd Fisher Paykel purchase

This is the second Fisher & Paykel dishwasher I’ve had. The first one was a double drawer and this the larger single drawer. The first was purchased in 2006 because of the drawer concept. When I recent built a smaller home I decided to go with the larger one drawer version. It is so quiet and performs wonderfully. Because I’m in a much small home it works out so well that you don’t have to drop down the door to load and unload. Would highly recommend

Miss a few perks from the previous model

My previous F & P Single DishDrawer Tall model told me how many minutes on the display. I miss this. This new model seems to have a pump which is slightly noisy, but it cleans nicely. I was not able to figure out how to reduce the amount of RinseAid that each cycle uses.

The Perfect Size for two.

We didn't need, want or have the room for a full size dishwasher and the DishDrawer is the perfect size for us. It fits beautifully on a shelf in out kitchen and has enough room for a full days dishes. I took off one star because if you're not careful you can accidently set the timer or start it when you're loading or emptying it. I've gotten into the habit of of turning on the child lock to prevent it from running until I want it to.
