Fisher and Paykel DishDrawer DS605FDSM

Pros: Most everything. It's quiet with the bottom drawer being just a bit noisy.

Cons: Won't take large plates/platters or cookie sheets.

The Bottom Line: If you really want this model make sure it's installed correctly or you could run into problems.

Review: It took me awhile to get to love this dishwasher. I read all the negative reviews but wanted to buy it anyway. After my husband carefully installed it I was disappointed in it's performance. I never used the dry cycle on my old machine and I expected the ...

Pros: 2 drawer format is ultra-convenient; the machine is exceptionally quiet; very effective dry cycle.

Cons: Does a substandard job of cleaning dishes and glassware, with an absolute requirement for rinsing.

The Bottom Line: The most important factor in a dishwasher is how well it cleans dishes and glasses. This does neither well. I can't recommend it other than for appearance and convenience.

Cons: Will not fit pots and pans. Electric motor failure. Noisy.

Review: Just got rid of this dishwasher after about four years. Four years of washing pots and pans by hand. I wish I had listened to the Epinions reviewer before I purchased it. It's trendy with the dual drawers, sometimes nice to have essentially two ...

Pros: the dishwasher looks nice on the outside

Cons: for the price, it is not worth it. look for something else

Review: WE bought the dishwasher from our local Lowes store. my wife was ga ga over the 2 drawer system. we had it delivered and then discovered that it only takes powdered detergent. it does not wash from the top of the units at all, and they are not stainless ...

Pros: None

Cons: Drawers are too small to hold much.  Customer service is terrible.

Review: Our dishwasher quit working after 18 months.  After SIX phone calls to Fisher/Paykel, we finally had a repairman come out (contractor).  We paid him $95.00 to tell us the dishwasher was broke.Even though we had an extended warranty, F/P ...
