Never heard of Fisher...

Pros: Convenience, style, effective washing, quiet, flexible, on and convenience, convenience, convenience.
Cons: None. Zero.

I've read some of the reviews about people not liking these, and I can't understand their dissatisfaction..... We installed a pair of these (over/under) in conjunction with a remodel 12 months ago. Our other appliances in this remodel: Thermador 48" ...

Pros: Very convenient, saves splashed clothing, guilt-free small loads
Cons: Not for houses with small children, things can go wrong, Requires a TRAINED installer!

I figure people in the market for a higher-end dishwasher will be evaluating Bosch, Miele, Asko, and Fisher-Paykel. The F&P is the most expensive of the three, by a bit, but worth every single penny!

To begin, this is not a dishwasher in the...

Pros: Easy Loading/unloading, low water use, energy saving, delayed programming, QUIET
Cons: Expensive

When my husband & I were looking for appliances for our new home I was very focused on a dishwasher that used less soap, less water and could be programmed to delayed start. I looked at Bosch and Kitchenaide, and the Fisher Pykel dish drawers. The...

Pros: stylish appearance
Cons: poor performance, frequent repairs, cost, no food disposer, can't accommodate some taller dishes

The Dishdrawer looks great, but that's not the sole reason to purchase a dishwasher. Other than its looks, I can't think of one reason why anyone should buy this machine. Before we demanded that it be removed by the manufacturer, my husband and I used...

Pros: Small loads are easy, quiet, pretty
Cons: Unsanitary, bad fit & finish, watch video to operate

As household member in charge of dishes, my husband bought a Fisher-Paykel dishdrawer just before our first child arrived. Our previous, 10-year-old dishwasher was fairly noisy and had begun to leak. My husband liked F-P's quiet performance, two-drawer...

Pros: Advanced Technology cleans dishes with 4 gallons of water.
Cons: There is a right way and a wrong way to load this dishwasher.

Some expect a dishwasher to wash all traces of an entire birthday cake down to clog their plumbing no matter how drunk they were while loading it. Those units consume about 14 gallons of water per cycle on average. Its in your owners manual.
...

Pros: Efficient,guilt free 1/2 loads,quiet,roomy,great dishes when loaded correctly.Functional.
Cons: Had problems within 1st 9 months of owning. Getting service difficult.

Well thought out for space.The racks are easy to add or remove. It is so roomy that I can fit even my stove cartridges for cleaning in one drawer and oven components in the other. It does a good job cleaning and drying when loaded as instructed in the...

Pros: stylish, fits awkward spaces
Cons: expensive, doesn't wash plastic or dry properly

We have an old (1720) house with a foundation built on rock, so many kitchen appliances didn't fit under our counters. The dishdrawer seemed like the perfect solution to our problem. We balked at the price, but the stylish look and the ecologically...

Pros: Great looks. Convenience of two dishwashers. Quiet operation
Cons: Temperamental if improperly loaded or if dishes not rinsed properly High maintenance

With all that implies... First, it looks great! It cleans well, and is extremely quiet. I recommend using Cascade Complete powder detergent. Do not use liquid detergents. Now for the bad. This dishwasher is like a late 60's Jaguar E-Type with ...

Pros: Economical,Pots and dishes at the same time. Wine glass rack.Easy reach.
Cons: none

I have had my double dish drawer for over 3 yrs. I have had one service call at about 1 year because something got stuck but if I had bothered to take the racks and motor out and run a wire through the tube I could have fixed it myself in about 5 ...

Pros: stylish looks
Cons: doesn't dry, doesn't sanitize

Last year we completely remodeled our kitchen and replaced all of the appliances. Our prior appliances were top of the line: Maytag, Sub-Zero, etc., in keeping with our high standards and expectations. We liked the F&P's looks and were intrigued by...

Pros: Stylish, energy efficient, quiet, flexible
Cons: none

We recently had a two drawer Fisher & Paykel unit installed and have not been disappointed. We had an excellent salesman who pointed out many of the benefits of this product, and he proved to be correct. The unit looks quite stylish in our kitchen. The...

Pros: Excellent design, saves water, Quiet, operates as 2 independent dishwashers
Cons: Price

I have experience with both the previous model DD602I and the newer DD603I. Fisher & Paykel have done an excellent job with the new model DD603. When I purchased the first model DD602I dishdrawers my house was under construction. I used them for a short...

Pros: Cleans dishes well, quiet, practical for the kosher kitchen
Cons: Broke early, long time delay for repair, service people lack familiarity with unit

Our model broke less than 1 month after we bought it. In the middle of the night, while the unit was doing a timer wash, I woke to hear it beeping incessantly, indicating a error fault which was unclear as to the cause by the instructions. The only way...
