Rated 5 out of 5 Best dishwasher ever
I just completely renovated my kitchen and got all new appliances. I was very interested in a double drawer dishwasher as I live alone, but do a lot of entertaining. I smaller bottom drawer is just perfect for when I'm not entertaining and having both drawers for larger gatherings is just perfect. I'm not sure about the reviewer that gave this dishwasher a 1 star. I rinse dishes before placing in dishwasher, but by no means do I wash them first and I can get away with the fast/eco setting an get the dishes clean and shiny.
This is the best dishwasher ever!!!!!:)

Rated 4 out of 5Â by MidwestGal Getting used to loading - but works fantastically
We like out drawer dishwasher. We opted for a taller drawer option if there were anything big we needed to wash. We haven't run into anything as of yet, but the option exists if ever needed.
We have only had this for 2 weeks, but really like it. I must admit it has been a slight bit awkward figuring out how best to load the dishdrawer(s). We have two kids who use smaller plastic cups. These don't work the best in the dishwasher. If you find that you use a lot of glasses/cups, you may find it hard to figure out how to fit them all in if you also use large dinner plates like we do. I'm toying with the idea of ordering smaller plates (8 1/2") so that we can fit more glasses into each load. If it weren't for this it would get 5 stars down the board.
Not sure how to best load water bottles. We use those on a regular basis. Essentially, still working out the kinks on loading items.
The dishwasher cleans fantastically. I don't think we have had to re-wash a single item as of yet. I read to never rinse your dishes, only scrape off the food, so that is what I have been doing. It saves water, and the dishwasher does a fine job at cleaning. I was a bit worried based on a few reviews, but I would have to say they are either loading improperly, or there is an issue with their dishdrawer (spray arm not on track, drain tubes not set up right, king in hose, etc).
The regular cycle takes under 130 minutes to run. That is a LONG time, but it is so quite, we don't mind at all.
Everything needed for installation is included from the manufacturer. We had this item shipped from AJ Madison and it took nearly 1 month to deliver. Delivery company would not bring it into the house, only the garage and would not wait for us to uncrate it to check for damage. So if you order this, be aware of AJ Madison's delivery practices.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by NJ Customer stunning and brilliant
i really wanted this because of its looks, and to match the Fisher Paykel fridge that we had bought. I did a lot of reasearch becasue it is an expensive dishwasher, Some reviews on the web were not so positive as far as the way it cleaned, but the idea of two drawers (smaller loads) and the sleek look made we take a chance. And I so glad i did. It looks fantastic in my kitchen and the functionality is absolutely 100%. It took me a while to work out how to load it but once I figured it out it is the best dishwasher I have ever owned.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Charlotte's Web Finally they are clean
This is our second Fisher & Paykel. We moved into our new house and immediately realized that the hard water was going to destroy our dishes. We quickly ordered this machine with built in water softening. The machine is the 7th generation (our other machine was 3rd). The machine performs wonderfully. It is quiet, cleans perfectly and the two drawer design is really great for two people and also handy for a dinner party. I found a great video on YouTube designed for F&P installers. I followed it to the letter and installed the dishwasher in about 30 minutes with great result. In fact, I had to install another one for a friend after she saw how good ours was. The right choice if you have hard water.
