Drawer-style dishwashers are growing in popularity among appliances for your home due to the convenience of their size and design. You can fit a single dishwasher drawer under sink areas in small kitchens. You can also run the drawer with a smaller load of dishes, meaning you don’t have to wait all day to fill up a full-sized built-in dishwasher. When you have a double-drawer dishwasher, you can also run one drawer’s worth of dishes while still adding dishes to the other. This way you’re less likely to run out of clean dishware, which is particularly useful during bigger dinners or when hosting large gatherings.

When choosing the best drawer-style dishwasher for your kitchen, consider size, features and energy efficiency. If you want to lower your carbon footprint, shop ENERGY STAR certified dishwasher drawers. For industrial-strength cleaning, look at NSF-certified sanitization cycle dishwasher drawers. You should also consider other convenient features as well, like a delay start option for late-night run cycles and wireless connectivity for integrating your dishwasher into a smart home system.

To get the most out of your 2-drawer dishwasher, consider reviewing some of the best tips on how to use your dishwasher. Some of the most important things to remember include never overloading your dishwasher, choosing the right wash cycle for the dishware you’re cleaning and maintaining your machine properly—which includes cleaning the filters. If you have hard water in your area, you may benefit from a dishwasher with built-in water softener. A water softener will reduce the mineral build-up in the appliance and make maintenance simpler.
