The thing that put me off the dish drawers Nelle (and I, like you, had heard really good, and really bad about them), was that the interior is plastic. To me, when you're exposing plastic to really high temp water, over and over, it will eventually deteriorate. Once I knew that, there was no way I was getting them (and instead got a Bosch, which I love, stainless steel all the way baby LOL).

It is a hard decision, because those who have have newly acquired them love them, but those that have had them for a little while decide they're crap. Personally, I think a dishwasher should last at least 10 years (and I can't afford them more often that that!), so I decided to go for one that will (hopefully ) have a bit more longevity.
