Fisher and Paykel DD-602 24 in. Built-in Dishwasher

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: 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: SO EASY TO USE! STYLE IS TOP NOTCH! CLEANS IN SILENCE!
Cons: nONE

Fisher & Paykel DD602, the dishDRAWER that turns your kitchen into the most stylish look imaginable, while it cleans your dishes using less energy, less detergent, and is the most silent dishwasher on the market!

Never heard of Fisher...

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: 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: 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: Easy to Use, 2 Dishwashers in one, creates more drawer space
Cons: More difficult than average dishwashers to install - marginally

Just a great idea, 2 dishwashers in one, no need to continue stack and unstack, we use one for dirty and one for clean, then we rotate, saves arguments over who is stacking and unstacking, simple to use, cleans dishes well and was quieter than our old...

Pros: No bending over for dishware. Very easy to use. Quiet. Thorough.
Cons: None

We live "off the grid" using solar panels for our source of electricity and catchment water, well, for our water. So the Fisher & Paykel energy efficient DishDrawer is perfect for us. It cleans and dries beautifully and we have only used the "fast"...

Pros: Low energy use, easy to load and unload, looks great
Cons: A little bit of a learning curve, leaks if overloaded, no disposer

A lot of the complaints here are about leaks. We had a leak the first few months after buying it. These could probably be avoided. The technician came out, got everything dried out on the unit and then gave me the best advice for this machine, ...

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: Very streamline and attractive. Uses minimal soap and water. Easy to operate. Quiet.
Cons: Some large pans and tall utensils do not fit.

Even after both of my DishDrawers were struck by lightening and had to be replaced (after being used only 10 days) I would still recommend these beauties. I have a single dishdrawer on either side of the sink. Design options are endless!! This set up...

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: 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: 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: I suppose the double drawers can be useful.
Cons: Unreliable and expensive to repair all the time. Mediocre performance doesn't match price.

On the whole this has been a highly frustrating product, with many major annoyances; when forking out large wads of money for a 'premium' brand like Fisher and Paykel, one would hope to be ensured of a pleasant owning experience. In fact, this is one of ...
