Comparing Fisher & Paykel DishDrawers Series: Features, Prices, and Reliability 

Love my FP single drawer! Incredibly quiet, nice and clean. Integrated cabinet door looks perfect! My OZ friends swear by them. Excellent video with pros and cons. ❤

I love the idea of having a single drawer dishwasher available - I only have small loads. I also think F & P is an excellent brand. I have a F & P refrigerator, and it's just the best.

We are using this dishwasher in a rental apartment. Three person family and the size works well. Design does not allow for larger bowls and pots but I have always done these by hand anyway. Run times are issues with all models. Maybe you could include that info in future dishwasher reviews.. We use the eco cycle to keep the run time at 35 minutes. Dishes come out clean and dry!!

Having a Double Drawer since 2021 - huge fan of the concept although getting them in continental Europe is a bit of hassle (only Series 9 available) and repair service is there but kinda expensive. Had one defect with the water softener just after the warranty ran out - which cost €268 to fix. Getting the right seller that also knows those machines is crucial, otherwise the installation will be though. The technician working on mine forgot to install the "high loop" so I had issues with used water running back into the machine, which I took care of myself. The machine is not made for plastic products since drying performance isn't that good, so it isn't perfect by all means, but I don't want to go back to a normal dishwasher. Hopefully F&P will extend their product range in Europe in the future. I would buy more from them.

F&P has a shorter life expectancy than a Bosch or Miele. What I noticed with my customers are, either they LOVED them or they HATED them. I like the ease of replacing the rotor assembly that the customer can do it but good luck getting them to.

I want 2 of these, and just keep all my dishes in them!

Fisher and paykel are now owned by GE and they have already started shipping products under the GE cafe brand

Series 7 model was in our home when we bought it. Not a huge fan. I just can't seem to load it efficiently. I'll never understand why the flip-down racks are offered. Obviously water can't reach anything up there because those items are being blocked by the dishes seated below the racks. 🤨

I know three people who have this company's products. And they all hate it. It does not clean well and there have been serious issues with repairs. A quick glance with owner sanctification on any search engine will tell you more. It appears that it is installed in new spec homes more often than not. I am so glad that I have a Miele product. Cheers, Peter

I owned one before Haier took them over and just bought a replacement which I hope hasn't been diminished by the Haier takeover. GE has also been taken over by Haier and their 'Cafe' 2 drawer dishwasher is essentially the F&P unit with a different name on it. Both of these have the knock to open nonsense, which I find absurd. Let me knock on the head of the engineer who came up with that idea. Hopefully the $1600 double drawer unit I just purchased will be like the original one I bought many years ago. Hopefully.

We purchased and got it installed on 10/2023. We bought the newest model for $2599. The one for $1699 had more plastic inside the drawers compared to the $2500. I haven't done much dishes, but I have to say that this dishwasher SUCKS at drying Tupperware. I wish there was an option to have a longer dry time. We also like to do dishes by hand and set it in the dishwasher to dry. It has horrible air circulation. Our old traditional did a lot better job drying then this. We've only done a handful of loads so far. For over $2599 I'd expect this to perform a lot better than our 12 yr old samsung.

They aren’t the only double drawer. GE Cafe also has double drawers.

First! Now, can tou do a video of the drawe being loaded so we can see how it works

As an old, fat, single person a Fisher & Paykel dish drawer is always the only option in my book. simply put, I ain't bending. 🤣🤣🤣

The pronounciation is not "pay-kell." It's "pie-kl" ... akin to pickle. Proper pronounciation can be heard on videos produced by the company, go figure. My double-drawer unit was 20 years old on 8/21/2023. It has had a few repairs, all DIYed. I also have F&P washers (two, agitator and impeller) and the topload dryer with reversing tumble.

How do you feel about a Miele 7xxx series sink right and an 11 series single drawer sink left for party loads or for washing glassware only?

After checking out the Miele dishwashers at a local dealer, they just laughed when I asked about these dishwasher and said for me not to waste my time. 😅

Good review. It's pronounced Fisher and "Pie Kill".

Ruth B Ginsberg had this model.
