DishDrawers for the home
Who would have ever imagined a dishwasher with drawers instead of a door?
At first glance people tend to shy away from this idea since it is a bit different that is until people become familiar with dishdrawers and the demand begins to rise. A dishdrawer is
two totally separate and independently operated wash units thus giving you two dishwashers in one unit.
Dishdrawers allow you to wash delicate china, crystal and heavily soiled dishes, pots and pans at the same time. The key is to put the delicate glassware in one drawer choosing
the delicate cycle and the heavily soiled dishes in the other drawer on a heavy duty cycle.
Another option could be to use the smaller drawer if you only have a few dishes versus
using an entire load in your typical dishwasher.
In this section we are going to look at the best type of Dishdrawers to buy along with
the cheapest and most expensive available. We are an impartial company offering our experience in the trade and we offer unbiased advice to help you the consumer get the
best advice available.
The step by step guide to purchasing a Dishdrawers
Choosing a Dishdrawer
The original concept of a dishdrawer was pioneered by Fisher & Paykel. The dishdrawer is made up of two separate and independently operated wash drawers which take up to six place settings each. Dishdrawers offer a lot of flexibility and use when you can cater your wash cycle for two different types of washes at the same time. Here are some indepth looks at the specifications of dishdrawers:
Environment:
Dishdrawers do minimize water, energy and detergent thus it will cost you less to run. A typical small load could use as little as 1.98 gallons of water whereas the average for a typical dishwasher uses 2.4 gallons of water. In addition to this if you use a single unit or only one drawer you will save half the water, energy and detergent.
Ergonomics:
Dishdrawers incorporate the design of a regular kitchen drawer into a dishwasher which is much more ergonomically correct—especially if you have a bad back. The drawer concepts gives you easier access, better visibility and less repetitive movements to open, load and close as you open and close like a basic kitchen drawer.
Wash performance:
Unlike your typical dishwasher with a dishdrawer if you change the type of the wash cycle you will also be changing the time, temperature and the amount of water pressure used. Compared this to your typical dishwasher which only changes the length of the cycle and
at times the water temperature.
Manufacturers
The only manufacture I could find was Fisher & Paykel which appear to be the only dishdrawer manufacturer in the world.
Colours Styles & Features
Dishdrawer frontages can be finished in almost any material you choose - wood,
laminates or paneling thus it can match the décor of any style of kitchen So whether
your kitchen is traditional, country or simplistically modern, your dishdrawer will all but disappear, beautifully.
Dishdrawers are also available as a single unit and can be installed independently to accommodate small households, limited spaces and unique requirements. The single units can hold a complete 6 serving place setting thus if you run a small household or space is limited you can still enjoy the convenience of a dishdrawer. However, if you family begins
to grow the dishdrawer can go with you. Heck why not also use the dishdrawer to store
your dishes since no one will ever know that behind that face of the drawer is a dishwasher.
