Product review (5 stars): A Favorite Appliance
Have had our FP Paykel double drawer dishwasher for well over two years now and continue to enjoy it.  We had read all the negative reviews then and decided to go ahead and install one.  Initially had a problem with the upper unit not starting consistently (very annoying) - until the second repairman immediately identified the problem.  It hadn't been installed properly - not leveled and no screws into the cabinet frame.  Once he corrected these it has run perfectly since.  Incidentally, no charges at all since it was under warranty.
The larger, upper drawer makes loading and unloading so much easier and I can place every platter or bowl I have into it.  Lower one is slightly smaller.  Very pleased with its cleaning ability, too.  We find it very quiet - unaware it's on until I check the light.
So, don't understand all the negative reviews.  We're about to redo a kitchen in another house we've bought and are planning a FP Paykel for it.
