Fisher Paykel Dishdrawer

If your dishwasher has been leaving spots on your glasses, making strange noises, or taking forever to finish a cycle, it might be time for an upgrade. Over time, dishwashers lose efficiency and cleaning power, and today’s models offer quieter operation, better energy savings, and advanced features that make cleanup easier than ever. Whether your current dishwasher is showing signs of wear or you’re simply ready for a modern refresh, investing in a new one can make a big difference in your daily routine.

Fisher & Paykel: A New Zealand Company

Founded in 1934 by Woolf Fisher and Maurice Paykel in Auckland, New Zealand, Fisher & Paykel began as an importer of refrigerators, washing machines, and radios. Over the decades, the company evolved its identity from importer to innovator, investing in local manufacturing, licensing, and then eventually developing its own technologies in refrigeration, dishwashing, laundry, and cooking.

What sets Fisher & Paykel apart is their strong culture of design-led innovation and usability. Products like the DishDrawer dishwasher (a drawer-style dishwasher rather than a traditional front-loader) and the Active Smart refrigerators showcase their willingness to re-think the familiar for better convenience, performance, and environmental impact. The company has grown global: today Fisher & Paykel appliances are sold in 50+ countries, and design, engineering, and production happen in places like New Zealand, Italy, Mexico, Thailand and the US.

In more recent years, Fisher & Paykel has become part of Haier (a major international appliance company). While that has meant shifting some manufacturing overseas in order to remain competitive, the company continues to emphasize research & development, sustainability, and user-focused product design.

What is Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer Dishwasher?

The DishDrawer is a two-drawer dishwasher system (top drawer + bottom drawer) made by Fisher & Paykel. It’s designed so each drawer acts as a semi-independent dishwasher: you can run one drawer by itself (for smaller loads), run both drawers at once with different cycles, or use them together.

The top drawer is often “taller” (in certain models) so it can accommodate larger plates or taller items, while the bottom drawer may be more compact.

Key Features & Benefits

• Flexibility & Efficiency: Since each drawer is independent, you can wash small loads in one drawer without wasting water or energy heating a full-sized tub. That’s especially helpful for households that don’t generate full loads every wash.
  

• Ergonomics: Loading the top drawer is easier (less bending) which can be beneficial if bending is difficult or for general ease of use.

• Quiet Operation: These DishDrawer models tend to be fairly quiet. Fisher & Paykel promote features like a stainless steel interior, smart spray arms, and sensors (e.g. to detect spray arm jams) to improve wash performance and reliability.
  

• Multiple Wash Programs & Modifiers: Many models offer a range of wash cycles (Heavy, Light, Auto, Glassware, etc.), plus modifiers like “Quiet,” “Dry+,” “Sanitize.”
