The Fisher & Paykel Series 9 DishDrawer Dishwasher is a premium compact dishwasher designed for integrated kitchens, with a strong focus on quiet operation, flexibility, and ease of use.

Standout Features

• Single DishDrawer™ design — opens like a kitchen drawer rather than a traditional drop-down dishwasher door, making loading easier and reducing bending.
• Fully integrated installation — hidden behind your cabinetry for a seamless kitchen appearance.
• Very quiet at 46 dB — suitable for open-plan kitchens.
• 15 wash programmes + 3 modifiers — unusually versatile for a compact unit.
• Sanitise mode — claims to kill 99.9% of bacteria during the final rinse.
• Fan-assisted drying with Extra Dry option for plastics.
• Knock to Pause — tap the front panel to pause the cycle.

Capacity & Suitability

• Holds 6 place settings, so it’s best suited for:
  • Singles or couples
  • Small kitchens/apartments
  • Secondary kitchen/bar area
  • Homes prioritising ergonomics and design

It is not ideal for larger families unless paired with a second drawer unit.

Efficiency

• Energy rating: A wash / A dry
• Eco water use: 8 litres per cycle
• Eco energy use: 0.59 kWh per cycle

These are solid efficiency figures for a premium compact dishwasher.

Practical Design Details

Useful internal flexibility includes:

• Adjustable/fold-down tines
• Adjustable cup racks

• Knife clips and multipurpose clips
• Fits plates up to 310 mm

Potential Downsides

• Smaller capacity than a standard full-size dishwasher.
• Single drawer means fewer dishes per cycle.
• Premium integrated DishDrawer models are usually more expensive than conventional dishwashers.
• Fully integrated setup may require professional installation and cabinetry compatibility.
