Doesn't dry dishes

published

Having two smaller dish drawers is certainly suitable for some people, but you should be aware two things before deciding to buy a dish drawer.

It doesn't dry the dishes very well. Everything comes out clean but sopping wet and I have to dry everything with a tea towel every time I empty it. Even el cheapo dishwashers dry dishes better than this super expensive dish drawer.

You need to use powder for it to clean properly. This is a downside for me because I always end up spilling powder everywhere whenever I try to fill the compartment. Not suitable for people who are clumsy or are not good with their hands.

Wont dry dishes

published

This dishwasher is great for cleaning dishes but will not dry them. I have complained about it, but they say I am doing something wrong, wont tell me what.
Very frustrating as you have to dry them manually.
The two drawer option is a great idea and every thing else works fine.
I can fit more in the two drawers than I could in the old upright washer, and it fitted in the same cabinet space as the old one.

Worst piece of crap I ever purchased

published

Broken more often than it worked. After 2 years had enough.ended up in the trash. Very expensive and service was also expensive. They should be embarrassed to sell this junk. Bought a Samsung. No problems to date. Next time will read these reports. They acted surprised that anyone was having issues

Crap. Don't Buy One

published

We have owned a number of dishwashers over the years, this double dish drawer was the most expensive so I expected it actually work.
It doesn't.
You only have to have a spoon handle or plate edge slip through the cage and the arm won't go around, the whole cycle (water, power, tablet, and time) is wasted. You would this there would be an alarm of some type that would sound to say the arm is obstructed.
The lower drawer is so noisy, you can't have it on and be watching tv at the same time, and our kitchen is miles from the lounge!!
The SS face plates are both loose after coming unhooked at the bottom so now the front looks twisted.
This is only 3 years old and I'm looking to replace it.

very noisy

published

Cons : Is a good dishwasher, but is so noisy. I can hear it from upstairs in my 400 metre squared house. Noise is unbearable and sounds like a charft cutter at times.

Very poor build quality. plastic that scratches easy,

Pros: Washes dishes very well

would recommend buying if you like to replace them every year or so, product is not built to last long at all.

Great dishwasher but they had to send someone out to fix it within a month

published

Love this dishwasher. We have a gully kitchen so it is perfect as you don't have to bring the whole door down and people can get past easily.
Only one issue was that the top drawer element broke within the first month which was a little annoying, but they did send a technician to fix it straight away under warranty. We've now had it for a year and it's been perfect. Cleans very well.
It's also quiet and very simple to use.

Had two in two separate houses, love them!

published

Feels like quality, much sturdier than traditional rickety dishwashers. We use Eco and jam pack it (brush off dishes before loading) and we get a great clean. We use bottom drawer for all the pots from dinner and top drawer takes a full days dishes. Never had a single issue.

Their service department is disappointing

published

Our dish drawer broke down and organised a service call. It took two and half weeks for someone to come out. Then the following day the error code appeared again and when I called customer service they told me I had to wait another two and half weeks for another service call. Very disappointed!

Absolutely no complaints

published

We have had our double dishdrawer for going on 3 years, built in at a slightly higher level than normal . Easy to load, especially the top drawer, and quiet operation. We generally don't rinse plates unless they are very dirty, and use the fast (and eco) cycle with good results. We don't overload. We have 3 single dishdrawers in rental properties up to 6 years old with no problems reported. We are so pleased with the units that we will replace a 10 year old Westinghouse in another rental property with another double dishdrawer.

Absolute rubbish

published

These 2-drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwashers should be withdrawn from the market. They do not clean dishes properly, and they do not allow most main dishes to be used. We flogged ours after six months and have gone back to Asko which we love. We left ours in our last house and should have bought Asko again. Now we have.

Don't go there!

published

Gross. Doesn't clean the dishes well, so hard to pack anything a bit larger in such as bigger knives. Forget trying to put a few pots in.
Have to pull apart and clean, very often. Leaves a pool of water at the bottom of the drawer. Would never install one of these!!

Great dishwasher

published

This dishwasher looks the part and cleans my dishes perfectly each time. It suits my bachelor lifestyle perfectly as I alternate between drawers as I use the cleaned dishes into the dirty drawer and vice versa. I never need to empty the contents into my kitchen cupboards because at any one time one drawer is the dirty drawer and one is the clean drawer.

When it's cleaning noise is a non issue, it's very quiet and I run it before I hop into bed each night. The plates and cups are always clean in the morning and the cutlery well honestly it's a bit hit and miss but usually it does the job.

This dual dishdrawer looks great teamed with my fisher and paykel french door fridge and my fisher and paykel oven.

Not Worth The Money!

My machine is 5 years old. Recently I have had trouble setting the machine. My regular setting is Fast and ECO 33 minutes. Lately when I press the middle button to start the cycle it displays I to 10 and does this several times before I hear the motor start. What if any does the lock system far right do?

Hi Janet,
We just had very bad experience from them. Any product might give you problems but it's about customer service and this is non excisting with them. They dont answer calls, return calls or keep you up to date. All of the best.
