Fisher & Paykel DD603

Date Published: 1/17/02

With some of the most revolutionary features ever seen on dishwashers, this Fisher & Paykel model is actually two totally separate and independently operating wash units. Each unit can run a different cycle, allowing you to wash a delicate cycle in one drawer and a heavily soiled load in the other. Running only one of the units allows considerable energy savings and encourages the immediate running of small loads. This unit meets and exceeds the Energy Star® guidelines for water and electrical efficiency and will save you money on utility bills. The slide-out drawers are convenient and easy to use and save on space when compared with the traditional pull-down door. Taking dishwashing a step further, this model adjusts the water pressure to the degree of soil when you switch cycles. Pressure is increased to better remove soil from heavy loads and decreased in lightly soiled loads, thus saving wear and tear on your delicate place settings. To best activate the enzymes and prevent detergent burn on dishes, this unit premixes the detergent with water before adding it to the load. The Fisher & Paykel also boasts incredibly quiet operations allowing you to carry on a conversation while it is operating. For a little more than half the price of this double unit, you can start with a single drawer unit and add the second drawer as your family and budget grows. Truly a machine of the future, this model is available in black, white, stainless steel, or integrated styles; the integrated style allows you to match the front panel of the dishwasher to your cabinetry.
