Fisher & Paykel DD60SDFHTX9 Built In Dish Drawer

The Fisher & Paykel DD60SDFHTX9 Built In Dish Drawer can stand taller than you think.

Dish drawers are a great alternative to dishwashers, particularly when there is less space available and lighter loads of washing up to be done.

As the title suggests, it's effectively a dishwasher in a drawer, with this design vaguely resembling that of a compartment within a filing cabinet.

It was Fisher & Paykel themselves who debuted these goods, back in 1996, so are well-placed at mastering how the best dish drawers should work.

This model is the perfect example and is expertly built in, so is designed for installation within existing kitchen cabinetry and best fits above a small base drawer.

The capacity of six place settings can still fit in 66 items and extra height has been incorporated into this product, so round plates of up to 310mm can be accommodated.

One place setting is defined as a large dinner plate, small snack plate, saucer, bowl, coffee cup, drinking glass, knife, dinner fork, small salad fork and two teaspoons.

Versatility in height comes through foldable cup-racks and a removable cutlery basket, while pitch-adjustable tines can fit in dishes and bowls or simply slide away.

There are nine wash cycles to choose from with standard and Eco choices for delicate, fast, heavy and normal, plus a rinse function.

Three wash modifiers are also on board with extra, quick and sanitise options, controlled by button through an internal selector at the base of the main compartment.

Fisher & Paykel's SmartDrive brushless motor is coupled with an agitator, that twists back and forth, while the spray arm also rotates at different speeds for better dish care.

The drawer is A rated for washing and drying performance, with the latter process turbo fan-assisted, and has an A++ grading for energy efficiency.

The estimated annual consumption is just 152kwh, with a mere 6.9 litres of water used per standard cycle. This is achieved at a low noise, with a sound level of 47 decibels.
