Miele claims to be the original designer of the cutlery drawer. This is a shallow third drawer at the top of the dishwasher that keeps all your spoons, knives and forks separated for optimal cleaning and drying.

Description One of the newest innovations, the single drawer dishwasher offers you endless new ways to configure your kitchen and recreational spaces. The compact, powerful wash system and flexible loading options deliver the performance you’d expect from a KitchenAid dishwasher.

about 24 inches wide
Like a standard under-counter dishwasher, drawer dishwashers are about 24 inches wide and 24 inches deep. Single drawers are only between 16 and 17 inches high, while a double-drawer configuration is about 33 inches high.

The Miele WDB020 has received 2 awards, whereas the Fisher & Paykel WM1480P1 has received no awards. Miele washing machines have an average rating of 84.7%, whereas Fisher & Paykel only has an average rating of 70.1%.

But because each drawer operates on its own, you can wash small loads as economically as large ones. Water consumption (per drawer) is considerably less than a regular dishwasher, as is overall energy consumption. Dishwasher drawers also take up a bit less space than the traditional pull-down door.

Fisher Paykel is generally a reliable brand. The company backs up its technology with a 2 year parts and labor warranty and a 5 year sealed systems parts warranty. All in all, you can have the peace of mind when it comes to the most vulnerable years of your appliances.

The unique two-drawer design of the KitchenAid® Drawer Dishwasher allows you the ability to run small loads as often as needed without wasting energy.
