Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

We purchased a FP dish drawer in 2004 and it had a lot of issues in the first year. FP stood behind it and after correcting the problems we got 15 years of service out of the unit. We decided to replace the dish drawer with FP's updated unit. The first one that came had water running out of the soap dispenser in the bottom drawer and an F24 error code. Worked with FP customer service (nearly impossible to get hold of) to determine that a valve motor had failed and it would require servicing by a factory technician. They scheduled the visit for two weeks in the future (earliest possible service date). Called BestBuy and they recommended just replacing the lemon with a new unit. It could be there in two weeks. No brainer, went with the replacement (new) unit. We have had the new unit installed now for over a week and love it!! Very quiet and cleans very nicely. Everything spotless and shiny. We were used to the noisy old FP unit that did not do that great of a job. It is unfortunate that nobody else makes a dish drawer. We would have went with a different manufacturer if we could have found one. That is just based on our experience with our first dish drawer in 2004. The first new unit arriving DOA just reinforced our opinion that FP has some serious quality control issues. Nonetheless we are very pleased with this new unit. It is a huge upgrade from the one we purchased in 2004. Just cross your fingers and hope you get a good one right out of the gate. I would have given it five stars but had to nick the score for FP's quality issues and nearly inaccessible customer service.

I like this dishwasher because it cleans well and has two separate drawers to wash dishes. However, I would have preferred a black front and it only was available in stainless. One misleading feature is how long the cycles last. I choose the fast cycle, supposed to be 45 minutes but after timing it several times, it actually is 60 minutes of active washing, then another hour plus for drying time. Just be aware that you won’t be able to access your dishes for almost 3 hours.

The dishwasher is convenient and efficient to use. With the two drawers, it meets the day-to-day demand perfectly. Noise level is super low! After about 4 months, the bottom trim came apart - may be it wasn't installed correctly. We have scheduled repair appointment. Will update this review after the repair.

We love this double drawer dishwasher, you can wash delicate and regular at same time. If you don't have much to wash, you just use the 1 drawer, only using half a dishwasher!

The dishwasher is compact and works well. It diesnt always dry the dishes.

This is a visually striking dishwasher. The tall tub will hold just about anything you need to wash regardless of height. Plus, it’s a real convenience not to have to bend way down to load/unload the machine. Only two minor flaws. 1) it takes a very long time to wash anything in the normal wash cycles. Fortunately, there is a quick mode. And 2) it is crazy expensive for the value provided. If Fisher And Paykel hadn’t offered a promo cutting a thousand dollars off the price, it would have been hard to justify buying this, especially when there are so many very good dishwashers available for a lot less.

This dishwasher has been great so far. The individual loads has made it to where we can run what would have previously been a partial load, which inevitably ended up that at our next meal would have overloaded it. Its a little pricey but has been great so far.

Love this dishwasher! Perfect size for 2 people. Looks great and is very quiet.

Also no light when cycle finishes. Odd racks, but getting used to them.

This is a really good washing machine, I loved the fact that you can use both portions at the same time and save energy/water by running the smaller drawer. Sometimes my dishes smell weird though, it could be my drain set-up but I think its the dishwasher. this unit is VERY quiet though.

Easy to install and capable of handling requirements from casual dinner to full Holiday Party. Efficient and well built.

Great dishwasher. Just a little friction noise when opening and closing top drawer.

We enjoy the drawer system and perfect for 2 people who occasionally have company. It's a bit louder than I would prefer, but not like our old dishwasher which was LOUD. Very happy with Fisher & Paykel.

Thank you to David at the Hot Springs, AR location. David happily greeted me with a welcoming smile and was prepared to answer all my questions. David made the selection and delivery process very easy with ordering the appliances for my home

Dishwasher looks nice and fits all the dishes. Sometimes if I ran both at same time cycle isn’t done for longest time, have to figure that out

Love the two drawer! This is my second pakel dishwasher. Only negative dishes slightly wet even with extra dry cycle. Cleans good.

Well I just did a small load in the top dishwasher and in the bottom drawer, both on the fast cycle. And now there’s quite a bit of water in both of them. I looked under the sink and didn’t see anything kinked. As best as I could. As I’m partially disabled.

bought 2 units, It's just an okay unit... I think there are much better unit out there with much lower price.
