Choose your Fisher & Paykel dishwasher format
- Single DishDrawer dishwashers – one pull-out dishwasher drawer for smaller everyday loads, secondary kitchen zones or installations where a conventional full-height dishwasher is unnecessary.
- Double DishDrawer dishwashers – two dishwasher drawers that can operate independently, allowing separate loads or different wash programmes to run at the same time.
- Integrated DishDrawer dishwashers – panel-ready Single and Double Drawer models designed to sit behind matching kitchen cabinetry.
- Built-under DishDrawer dishwashers – finished-front models in materials such as stainless steel, black stainless steel or black glass, installed beneath the worktop without a furniture door covering the appliance front.
- Conventional integrated dishwashers – full-height drop-door models with conventional baskets and a cutlery tray, designed for installation behind a furniture panel.
Single or Double DishDrawer?
A Single DishDrawer uses one pull-out washing compartment. It can suit smaller regular loads or kitchens where dishwashing is distributed between different areas. Selected Tall models provide additional internal height for larger plates and cookware.
A Double DishDrawer places two independently controlled dishwasher drawers in a full-height installation. The drawers can be loaded and operated separately, so you can wash a smaller load in one drawer without waiting to fill both or use different programmes for different types of crockery.
| Format | Useful for | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Single DishDrawer | Smaller loads, secondary kitchens and flexible placement | Drawer height, place settings, maximum plate diameter and cabinet position |
| Tall Single DishDrawer | Single-drawer convenience with greater clearance for larger items | Exact appliance height, plate clearance and required cabinetry |
| Double DishDrawer | Households wanting two independently operated wash compartments | Total capacity, capacity per drawer, upper-drawer height and installation dimensions |
| Conventional integrated dishwasher | Larger single loads and traditional basket loading | Place settings, basket adjustment, cutlery tray, door panel and niche height |
Integrated or built-under Fisher & Paykel dishwashers?
Integrated and panel-ready models
Fisher & Paykel integrated dishwashers are designed to sit behind a matching kitchen furniture panel. Panel-ready models are supplied without the decorative furniture front, so check whether you will use a bespoke kitchen panel or a compatible Fisher & Paykel accessory panel and handle.
Confirm panel dimensions and weight, appliance height, cabinet opening, kickstrip arrangement and handle requirements before cabinetry is manufactured. Do not assume that a photograph showing a finished panel means that panel is supplied with the base appliance.
Built-under and Contemporary models
Fisher & Paykel also offers built-under DishDrawer models with their own finished appliance fronts. These install beneath the worktop but remain visible rather than sitting behind a kitchen furniture door.
Finishes vary by model and can include stainless steel, black stainless steel and black glass. Because the appliance front remains visible, finish is a meaningful buying choice rather than a cosmetic detail hidden behind cabinetry.
What is a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer?
DishDrawer is Fisher & Paykel's drawer-format dishwasher system. Instead of opening a full-height drop-down door, the washing compartment pulls out like a kitchen drawer.
The format changes both loading and installation. A Single DishDrawer can be positioned at a convenient height within suitable cabinetry, while a Double DishDrawer provides two independent wash compartments within a taller installation.
Independent washing with a Double DishDrawer
The two drawers in a Double DishDrawer operate independently. You can run one drawer for a smaller load, use both drawers together or select different wash programmes for different loads.
This can be useful when delicate glassware needs different treatment from heavily soiled cookware or when a smaller everyday load does not justify waiting for both drawers to fill.
Standard and Tall DishDrawer models
Tall DishDrawer models provide additional internal height for larger plates and cookware. The overall appliance height and cabinet requirements also vary between Single, Tall Single and Tall Double designs, so the word “Tall” should be treated as an installation distinction as well as a capacity feature.
Always use the installation drawing for the exact model. Most products are in the nominal 60cm width class, but actual widths are typically slightly below 600mm and heights vary considerably between configurations.
Place settings and loading capacity
Compare place settings together with the dishwasher configuration. A Double DishDrawer divides its capacity between two separate drawers, while a conventional full-height dishwasher provides one larger cavity with upper and lower baskets.
Also check maximum plate diameter and racking flexibility. Selected DishDrawer models provide fold-down tines, adjustable cup racks and wine-glass supports, while Fisher & Paykel's conventional integrated models use adjustable baskets and full-width cutlery trays.
Cutlery basket or cutlery tray?
DishDrawer models generally use a removable cutlery basket within the drawer. This suits the drawer format and allows the basket to be removed when unloading.
The conventional Fisher & Paykel integrated dishwashers use a dedicated upper cutlery and utensil tray. This keeps smaller items separate and leaves additional space within the main baskets.
SmartHQ connected dishwashers
Selected Fisher & Paykel dishwashers connect to the SmartHQ app over Wi-Fi. Available connected functions can include cycle monitoring, notifications, setup guidance, software updates and selected remote controls depending on the model.
Connectivity should be stored separately from functions such as automatic programmes or Knock to Pause. Check the exact model specification rather than using the presence of another automatic feature as evidence of Wi-Fi connectivity.
Wash programmes and modifiers
Programme selection varies by series and generation. Current models can include options for everyday washing, heavier loads, glassware and shorter cycles, while modifiers can provide functions such as additional drying, sanitising, quieter operation or more intensive washing.
Not every model has the same programme set. Compare the exact specification where a particular wash cycle or modifier is important.
Drying systems
DishDrawer models use fan-assisted drying on selected current products. Fisher & Paykel's conventional integrated drop-door dishwashers also use fan-assisted drying with automatic door opening on compatible models, allowing warm moist air to escape at the end of the programme.
Drying technology therefore differs by dishwasher format. Do not assume that every Fisher & Paykel dishwasher uses the same drying method.
Energy efficiency
Fisher & Paykel dishwashers use the current A to G energy-label scale. Compare the energy class together with the manufacturer's stated electricity and water consumption.
With Double DishDrawer models, pay particular attention to how consumption is quoted because manufacturer specifications can state energy and water usage per drawer. How often you operate one drawer or both drawers will therefore affect real-world consumption.
Dishwasher noise levels
Current Fisher & Paykel models in this range have relatively closely grouped manufacturer-stated noise figures, but the measurement description can differ by format. On selected Double DishDrawer models the published standard-cycle noise figure relates specifically to the top drawer.
Compare the official specification for the individual model when noise is important, particularly in open-plan kitchens. Selected Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer models also carry Quiet Mark certification.
Installation and plumbing
Every dishwasher needs suitable water, waste and electrical connections. Check the manufacturer's required water-pressure range, inlet connection, drain-hose routing and electrical supply before installation.
For integrated models, also check furniture-panel dimensions, handle requirements and kickstrip clearances. Single DishDrawer models need particular attention to installation height because one advantage of the drawer format is the ability to position the appliance at a more convenient loading level within suitable cabinetry.
Fisher & Paykel dishwasher FAQs
What is the difference between a Single and Double DishDrawer?
A Single DishDrawer has one pull-out washing compartment. A Double DishDrawer has two independent drawers that can be operated separately or at the same time, allowing greater flexibility for different load sizes and wash programmes.
Can I run only one drawer of a Double DishDrawer?
Yes. The two drawers operate independently, so one drawer can be used for a smaller load without running the second drawer.
What is a Tall DishDrawer?
A Tall DishDrawer provides additional internal height for larger dishes compared with the corresponding standard-height drawer format. Exact dimensions and maximum plate sizes vary by model.
What is the difference between integrated and built-under Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer models?
Integrated models are panel ready and designed to sit behind a custom kitchen furniture panel. Built-under Contemporary models have their own finished appliance front and install beneath the worktop without a furniture panel covering the front.
Do Fisher & Paykel integrated dishwashers include a furniture door?
No. Panel-ready models require a suitable front panel and handle. You can normally use matching kitchen cabinetry or select compatible Fisher & Paykel panels and handles where available for the specific appliance.
Are Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer dishwashers smart?
Many current models support Wi-Fi and Fisher & Paykel's SmartHQ platform. Connected functionality is model specific, so check the individual specification for the exact functions supported.
How wide is a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer?
The models in this range are in the nominal 60cm width class, but exact dimensions vary. Always use the manufacturer's millimetre dimensions and installation drawing rather than assuming the appliance is exactly 600mm wide.
How many place settings does a DishDrawer hold?
Capacity varies by model and market specification. Single and Double DishDrawer products have different capacities, and a Double model divides its total capacity between two independent drawers. Check the stated place settings for the exact model.
Do Fisher & Paykel dishwashers have a five-year warranty?
Fisher & Paykel currently states that appliances purchased in the UK automatically receive a five-year manufacturer's warranty covering parts and labour, subject to the manufacturer's warranty conditions.
Does Fisher & Paykel make a conventional dishwasher?
Yes. Alongside DishDrawer models, the current range includes conventional full-height integrated dishwashers with a drop-down door, adjustable baskets and a cutlery tray.
