Introduction to Dishdrawers

Coming all the way from New Zealand, Fisher and Paykel have been making household appliances since 1934. Often among the leaders of the pack when it comes to quality, they are likewise innovative in their engineering, creating new ways to use old appliances. This innovation can be seen in one of their signature products, the DishDrawer.

The DishDrawer is a dishwasher that, as you might have guessed, comes in a drawer. While the idea may seem simple – and at its core, it is – Fisher and Paykel are the only brand to offer dishwashers of this sort. But don't let the simplicity fool you, the DishDrawer's usefulness is not hard to see.

One of the first things to note is that the DishDrawer comes in two configurations: single, and double drawer. The double drawer takes up and offers the same general amount of space as a normal hinged-door dishwasher. The single drawer, on the other hand, takes up roughly half the height of a normal dishwasher (depending on the model). Because of this modular approach, you can essentially split the dishwasher in half. This allows you options such as placing both drawers at waist height, thus lessening the amount of bending required for loading and unloading dishes. You can also spread the dishwasher across different areas of the kitchen – one by the dining room for flatware and silverware, and another closer to the cooking area, for pots, pans, and cutting boards. And, if it doesn't go without saying, you can run them simultaneously or on their own. This way, if you use one of your favorite pans and want to have it clean again, you don't have to choose between washing it by hand or waiting to fill an entire dishwasher before running it. The combinations are as endless as your creativity.

As a panel-ready appliance, the DishDrawer can blend in perfectly with whatever style you've chosen for your kitchen. And of course, the single drawer units can be hidden in the lower cabinet position, out of the way of the many kitchen utensils you'll want easily accessible for when the creative spark hits mid-meal.

Fisher and Paykel have spent the past two decades tweaking and perfecting the DishDrawer, paying great attention to detail. The DishDrawer is a perfect example of a fusion between form and function, doing it's job spectacularly while also offering a brand new, streamlined approach to kitchen appliance design. What's more, Fisher and Paykel does not settle for innovation alone – their focus on constant improvement has produced appliances that are truly built to last.

Coming in at around just 45 dBA, these panel-ready dishwashers have a lot to offer for the modern kitchen. Whether you're looking to save space, save your back, or if you just don't make a lot of dishes throughout the week, there are multiple reasons to consider a Fisher and Paykel Dishdrawer. But when it comes to where to shop for your appliances, there's only one answer that should be at the top of your list: your local, friendly Kelly's Appliances.
