Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had been eyeing these drawer-style dishwashers for a while now, after talking to a friend who owned one. Our dishwasher wasn't old by any means, but it never managed to get dishes clean. We really love the pull-out drawer style, which creates a much easier pathway through our kitchen. One of the problems we were trying to solve was the tight space between our cabinets and the island area. This solved the problem beautifully. After conducting extensive research, we selected this particular unit since it has a deeper top drawer to accommodate larger items. After reviewing how to load it correctly, we've had nice, clean dishes every time. And it's so quiet you barely know it's running. This unit was on backorder, so we waited a longer period of time than originally scheduled to receive it, but it was certainly worth the wait.

I ultimately ended up choosing this Fisher & Paykel double drawer dishwasher out of necessity more than anything else. The house we moved into had custom cabinetry and our existing dishwasher was a Kitchen Aid double drawer dishwasher. These double drawer dishwashers typically run a little smaller than the standard size dishwashers, so I was pretty limited in my dishwasher selection based on the smaller than standard cutout size available. There were other options available- some not available for a number of months due to supply chain issues while there were others we just liked less. Now that I've provided some context for my selection, let me touch on a few pros and cons of this dishwasher: Pros: - Beautiful, sleek dishwasher- I love how the dishwasher is flush with my cabinetry and doesn't extend out at all. The stainless steel gives it a nice modern feel and gives an overall very clean looking presentation. - Double drawers- Since we have a small family, the double drawer function works great for us. The smaller load allows us to easily run smaller loads as we desire without having to feel bad about not filling out the dishwasher completely. - Quiet- the wash cycles for the dishwasher are relatively quiet and does not end up being much of a distraction - Dishes and glasses come out very clean. The water in our city is very hard, so using rinse aid is a must. With that said, things can still come out differently based on the dishwasher and we noticed a considerably positive difference between the lack of hard water spots and stains now compared to our previous dishwasher. Cons: - Expensive. The price tag here is hard to get behind. It totally makes sense that a double drawer dishwasher would be more expensive as there are double the parts in some case, but based on my research, there are plenty of options available at half the price that seem like they would work just as well and may even have better options. -Technology- Very standard features here. As noted above, I think there are plenty of cheaper dishwashers available that have more options and features. - More likely to have problems- With two drawers in the dishwashers instead of one, you have certain things that you need double of compared to a normal dishwasher. The more parts required, the higher the chance of something breaking or not functioning properly. Nothing in particular to note that might be breaking, but I think it's a thought worth keeping in mind when determining your choice of dishwasher. - Noisy. While the wash cycle is relatively quiet and not a distraction at all, the drainage and drying process is on the louder side. Granted, I'd rather have this part of the process loud than the wash process, but still worth noting that it is rather loud when the drawer is draining the water. All in all, I gave this dishwasher a 4 star rating as we have been happy with the dishwasher overall, but still aren't convinced the price justifies the sleek design or double drawers. The cost to install and remove a dishwasher adds up quick at Best Buy, so I would highly suggest looking into purchasing a TotalTech membership as the price is pretty similar and you get more warranty, return, and support benefits. One final thing to note, when ordering this dishwasher online, the "Smart Choice - Universal 6' Deluxe Dishwasher Install Kit - Multi" was an essential add on. I believe everything from this kit that you would need for the installation is already provided with the dishwasher as my installation technician did not touch it at all, so it's worth checking to see if you can just get away with not ordering it at all or you can just return the kit back to Best Buy afterwards like I did.

I love this dishwasher!! It’s so good to have the FIsher & Paykel Dish drawers again! We’ve owned this model in two previous homes, and I am THRILLED to have it back! We’ve purchased this model three times; two times in new construction homes that we sold after living in for 2 years. Our current home had a dishwasher that stopped working and I immediately knew what I was replacing it with! I knew I loved this dishwasher from my previous experiences, but I forgot how much I loved it until I got it back! You will not be disappointed! Runs quiet, dries well, sanitizes, easy to load/ unload, and it’s beautiful! I also love that you can run a small load on not feel guilty because you didn’t fill a whole dishwasher. Capacity is split between two drawers instead of one whole unit.

Our old dishwasher gave out, and we had a chance to go with a double drawer model. Ours is a small family of 3, and my brother has this same dishwasher and they are a family of 5. The flexibility of the two drawers is huge. The wash cycle is flexible and the timer is a huge help. Dishes come out very clean, with the odd exception of plates that might be close to the drawer wall. Manufacturer says always make sure things are “facing down” like glasses and bowls, and it makes a big difference. We’ve run both drawers simultaneously with no issue but usually only do one at a time. We bought magnets that say “clean/dirty” with a slide cover, which we put on each drawer which makes the management of them so much easier. The installation was really smooth and was impressed with their professionalism. We needed to have a hammer switch and a new outlet installed to bring things up to code, and then team handled this with no issue. Loved the experience. We are just wrapping up completely updating all our appliances, and have gone through Best Buy for all of them (fridge, washer/dryer), and could not say more about the high quality delivery experience we’ve had, as well as the quality of the products.

Love my DishDrawers! I recently sold my home with a 9 year old one of these and knew I wanted another one in my new construction home. These new ones are near silent. They are solid built and one of the best dishwashers on the market. Yes, they are expensive but quality and nice things are expensive. The functionality of being able to do two separate loads is the best. It’s so easy to load and unload. You won’t regret buying this dishwasher! Love it! Can’t get over how quiet this is compared to my older model.

It has a nice, clean, modern look to it. The color is not a bright stainless steel, but a more muted one. It has worked out to where I put my glasses in the bottom one, and plates etc. in the top one. My only issue with it is that I can’t fit cutting boards into it. This would be a bigger problem for me if I cooked a lot. It is an inconvenience. I like the look and the programming and it works great. One other thing is I notice the Cascade Platinum gel pacs clean the dishes better than the powder detergent. So I normally only use the gel pacs.

Quiet and cleans well. I live the flexibility of 2 independent drawers. They are esthetically beautiful and compliments any decor. I reccommend. Be sure to read all the instructions and restrictions or you can easily viod your warranty.

Overall we are satisfied with this unit. It is our 3rd one so we are not surprised. We have two of them built into our center island which we really do utilize as they don’t quite have the same capacity as a standard dishwasher unit. The only problem I would note is that not all service technicians are “certified” and/or are willing to work on drawer dishwashers and parts can become a problem as your unit starts to age.

Had to get a new dishwasher after 17 yrs. Decided to replace with the double drawer Fisher Pamela. It’s just the two of us so we don’t have huge loads. We like the ease of pulling out the drawer and it’s very quiet.

Love it! Was easy to install and looks great. And so quiet. Perfect for two person household!

I'll start by saying this is our 4th dish drawer. I used to have a single on each side of my sink. I loved the singles. As things failed we would replace or repair with parts from saved units. Decided to replace only one of them with the stacked drawers and get rid of the other single drawer. The difference on the quality and thickness of stainless steel on the old vs the new is night and day. The old ones had zero nicks, zero dents after 10-20 years of use. These bend even by pushing them in between the cabinets. Second thing - they run loud. Old ones were very quiet. These are very loud and in drain mode are so crazy loud. Not great for open concept home. I think I should have tried replacing with an older model, but liking the flat front, we went for it. They do a good job of cleaning, have more space inside. I put my old/old utensil caddy in, because I like the open handle for washing jar rings, etc... Review photos show how curved the steel is and how the dents only show in the right lighting.

Fisher Paykel for the win, bought it again. Nice dishwasher for our lifestyle. Love the double drawers. I have to learn to navigate the new button panel- need to keep eye glass readers available! Our original dishwasher was from 2008. Still works, so we put it in the rental house and bought a new one for us.

Excellent product, exceeds our expectations.The local store was helpful when we needed it. The installation contractor was terribly disrespectful, however the installation was completed to our satisfaction. If I could rate the installer I would give them a poor.

This is an amazing dishwasher! I really love the way it looks and how it fits our space. My only complaint is that our larger plates do not fit, so they have to be hand washed.

This machine does a great job and looks great s well. Definitely like having no handles sticking out.

The draw dish washer is not was I expected with the folding rack for coffee mugs and cups. The installation was done incorrectly and the clamp came off the water line. The installers ran the machine and left and clamp blew off getting water all over floors and leaking to basement. It ruined my IRobot vacuum because I didn’t notice the water all over the kitchen floor until I saw the vacuum dragging water off rug onto floor. Still got no reply after making a report

Great item for a small kitchen Really sutisfied with this purchase Highly recommended
