Pros
-Double draw is great for a family; keep loading dirty dishes in one draw while the other draw is washing.
-Looks good

Cons
-So noisy. I try not to put it on when we have guests, the noises are embarrassing
-2 hour wash cycle (plus 2 hours of drying if you choose to listen to the fan)
-Dishes need to be washed thoroughly before loading them
-Cleaning needs to be performed regularly to remove scum and keep it running
-$2000 price tag. We've just moved house, and now have an old "Euro" dishwasher that costs around $450; it produces similar cleaning and drying results, but without the noise

I have had issues with the draw handles cracking at the corners since i purchased this dishwasher. I have had FP come out three times to replace it and the first 2 installers couldn't understand Why the handle corner was chipping. The last person that came said its from the products im using to clean it. but really its just sponge and water. But now its chipped again and i made sure i used a separate cloth for the machine.
Now im stuck with an unsightly dishwasher that is only 3 yrs old. I asked them to change the handle type, but of course they wont do that. This was my first FP product. I wont be buying FP products anymore.

Very poor design with week tabs holding the handle in place. Replacement requires drawer removal and FP want half the price of a new Westinghouse to replace it!!!. I don't know why they changed the design from our previous FP which worked seamlessly for years without an issue. They have know lost us as a customer and we have many of their products in the house.

Pretty good but drawers not big enough for my large dinner plates. Quiet, but eco cycles are no good. Handle on bottom drawer broke and was not easy to fix. F & P videos do not feature handle replacement. F & P field support is too far away and too expensive. I like .the ability to use smaller loads.

I have to wash by hand at least 30 percent of all items and the water bill has gone through the roof. Absolute rubbish a cheaper model would have been far better. It is not quiet cannot be loaded efficiently as the draws are sized all wrong and there is no room for mugs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Purchased this in May. Does not clean dishes at all well. My sister told me to ensure that I do not use it on 'echo'. Helped a bit! Doesn't complete the cycle but gets stuck at one spot. Fisher and Paykel will take a week to send a service person. Am very disappointed. Last d'washer was trouble free Asko. Had it for fourteen years. Wish I had bought another. -they were cheaper too! Will not buy another F & P product.
Not much.
Doesn't clean dishes. Doesn't complete cycle. Service slow and no one seems to care!

Have to clean dishes before and after use most days, it also constantly has errors requiring either a repair man or hours of dismantling. I probably pull it a part every 6 weeks to fix it. F1 error, f2 error, flooding that requires moping and an hair dryer. Plastic parts that break, doesn't dry properly etc etc ectc
I like the idea of a dish drawer for convenient half loads after breakfast etc
Kept breaking, and poor job at cleaning
