What Are Drawer Dishwashers?

I didn’t even know that drawer dishwashers were a thing until today! Now…I grew up in a household that firmly believes that dishwashers are a waste of time and money. After all, you can washer dishes with you hands! Now that I’ve moved into an apartment, I have a dishwasher. It’s an interesting difference and while I still prefer to hand wash, I can see the appeal of owning a dishwasher. And now we have these new drawer dishwashers that places like Happys Appliances Outlet and GE Appliances are selling. Come on this adventure with me and learn just what they are!

What they are.

These new dishwashers are similar to the ones we know, in that you load them and they wash your dishes! However, that’s really where the similarity ends. Drawer dishwashers are installed like the drawers you find in your kitchen so that they open horizontally. They come in a single unit or double, depending on your preferences, needs, and space. All the ones I’ve seen so far are gorgeous, sleek ones that blend into your kitchen perfectly.

When they appeared.

These new beauties appeared a few years back when Fisher-Paykel created and launched them as DishDrawers. So they’ve not been on the market for very long in the grand scheme of things. After their launch, other brands began following the trend and produced their own versions. Fisher-Paykel wanted to revolutionize the dishwasher and create flexibility when washing dishes.

Pros

  • Space saving
  • Compact
  • Ease of use
  • More frequent dish loads
  • Reduced noise

Cons

  • Breaks easily
  • Reduced load capacity
  • Bad customer support/service
  • Hard to clean
  • Expensive

Conclusion

As much as I love saving space, I don’t think I particularly like these. I want something that won’t be too breakable. That being said, I think that for someone who’s single or a couple may like these! They save space in that first apartment or house and wash your dishes quickly and quietly!
