caption_attribution_description: English: This picture shows a different design of dish washer by Fisher &amp; Paykel from New Zealand. The unit, known as a DishDrawer, has two drawers which can be operated individually or simultaneously. The smaller load allows the family to start the machine after each meal instead of saving up dirty dishes to fill the machine. The smaller capacity does have a disadvantage: big pots and pans do not fit. The dish drawer design comes in single drawer unit or double decker unit (as shown). The exterior finish comes in stainless steel or replaceable face to take a kitchen cabinet panel to blend in with the rest of the kitchen.
context_page_description: Fisher & Paykel is a major appliance manufacturer which is a subsidiary of Chinese multinational home appliance manufacturer Haier. It is based in East Tamaki, New Zealand.
  Originally an importer of domestic refrigerators, Fisher & Paykel now holds over 420 patents and bases its identity on innovative design, particularly in the areas of usability and environmental awareness.
  The company's trademarked appliances include Active Smart refrigerators, AeroTech ovens, DishDrawer dishwashers, Smart Drive washing machines and Smartload top loading dryers. The company also manufactures gas and electric cooktops.
