A:AnswerAbout the same length as the telescoping / roller racks in a standard dishwasher.
The door of a standard dishwasher sticks out about 3 - 4 inches more than the F&P double drawer model.
A:AnswerYes. That’s the beauty of the stacked drawer design. For just two people, I can use one of them every few days and not feel bad running a dishwasher that is less than half full. Plus, with all the different ways I can configure them, they can handle a larger range of my dishes—such as taking the inserts out of one and can wash large items like my frying pan, wok, and stock pot—AND, when I do have a crowd, together they handle more dishes, cookware, glasses, utensils and flatware than a single standard dishwasher. I have nerve problems in my hands snd just can’t do much hand-washing. I also have occasional flare ups in my lower back, and loading and unloading the top drawer doesn’t require me to bend.
A:AnswerBe sure you have let the hot water run in the kitchen before starting the dishwasher. The hotter the water that goes in, the faster the drying when it’s drying time.
A:AnswerWe were moving receptacles anyway. We have a big space between the left side of the dishwasher and a cabinet so we put our receptacle there instead of right behind it.
A:AnswerI didn't open the dishwasher side of the wire but I think it is hardwired. I'm glad the wire was already attached and I just had to plug it in under the sink.
