Best Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer Dishwashers

Our second dual drawer just died at 5 years and 1 month old, it keeps tripping out the circuit breaker, I would have expected to get at least 10… Read more

years out of a dishwasher. We favoured fisher and Paykel products as we hold their shares and we are New Zealanders but we won’t be buying another, they’re too unreliable

I bought this about three years ago for my single person household and it hasn't missed a beat. Pros: Fits most dishes, including large dinner… Read more

plates and medium sized pots and pans. Cleans well, even when mixing e.g. glasses with saucepans, although I do use the heavy setting most times. Flexible enough internal configuration, and not too fussy about stacking methods - things get clean even when not stacked perfectly. Mine's set just under the counter, and it's easy to stack without bending down to far. I scrape off left over food, but don't pre-rinse my dishes. No clogs yet. Fairly quiet to run. Cons: be careful when stacking that nothing pokes down beneath the stacking rack, as it's easy to block the spinning spray arms that way. That means watching where you put e.g. Tupperware lids, as they can move during washing. The soap tablet dispenser has been shaped to only take proprietary tablets and won't fit any others. You can put any tablet or pod in the cutlery basket instead though. Takes a long time to wash on the heavy setting, but that's the nature of it: with dishwashers you can either save water, or save time, but not both. F&P opted for water efficiency.

function stopped working totally. The machine began to give error codes as the impeller refused to stay on the shaft until I drilled a small hole through it and permanently glued it with a loctite product. Over time the machine began to be extremely noisy and eventually the pump failed totally. I would not recommend the product at all. Customer service simply did not want to know about it.

After 11 years we finally unalived our F&P dual dishwasher. This is the 2nd time we've had the F&P dual draw and just love them, our first one had… Read more

to stay in the house when we sold it so we went straight out at got another one in 2014. It got a lot of us, i mean a LOT over the years and served us well. So naturally we bought our 3rd one to replace it. Super quiet, in fact so quiet i didn't know it was washing at first, nice new features with the light up button, i do like it being on the outside so i can see what's going on without opening the draw, we are very happy.
