Single DishDrawer
They imagined the ideal dishwasher... and the concept of the DishDrawer was born. Years of research and refinement have created an appliance that offers a compelling blend of form and function. Each drawer is independently operated, allowing you to wash small loads as economically as large ones. DishDrawer lets you match the wash programme to the contents, so dishes are better cared for.
This dishwasher uses 141 kWh/yr. and has an estimated yearly operating cost of $15.64.
Your operating costs will depend on your utility rates and use. The estimated operating cost is based on 4 wash loads a week and a 2011 national average electricity cost of $0.1109 cents per kWh.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Mr. Landlord Unknown durability, but very quiet.
I was disappointed to find a cheap plastic propeller inside this very expensive toy-sized dishwasher. Does not bode well for durability. Should have been stainless steel. For the price they charge for this machine, I could have bought an industrial strength full sized all-stainless dishwasher. I habitually prerinse my dishes before loading them into the dish drawer, so I can't vouch for cleaning performance. On the plus side, the unit is remarkably quiet during operation. So quiet that you will not be sure if its actually doing anything. I installed this in a 330 square foot studio apartment, and you can run this dishwasher at bedtime and still be able to fall asleep without any noise whatsoever coming from the unit. This is a huge convenience advantage for a studio apartment dweller.

Rated 5 out of 5 Quiet and efficient
Love this unit! It is very quiet, and it has a short cycle that finishes in only 38 minutes. It was easy to install both the plumbing and electric parts (it uses a standard plug, vs. requiring hard-wiring). The drawer is roomy and easy to load.
