You girls seriously have me torn. I know what I want, but I don't want it if I have to keep paying for it. Your input is really helpful though, the more I know, the better!
It's a hard one Nelle!!! They sure are popular! It does sound as though you're really keen........ Maybe you should just go for it!
Sam, sounds like you got really unlucky, what a bummer. How handy that you could still use the other drawer though! As for long cycles, my new dishwasher takes longer too, so maybe it's just the way alot of them are now, like top loaders?
I'll see how I go hey. We're going and having a look around today. We're going from me doing (or not, as the case may be) the dishes to having a dishwasher so I suspect I'll be happy with anything really.
And price will pay a factor obviously, I've seen some cheap prices here and there so I guess I'll just have to hunt.
And if I do get the dishdrawers and they play up, I can always come in here and whinge that you guys misled me.
We have dish drawers that we love and have had them for about 2 years. We bought ours in the paper for $50 because the person that owned them first thought they had stopped working and had bought themselves a new dishwasher. We have had very few issues with them (it has been blocked a couple of times, but nothing DH hasn't been able to fix himself which was the problem with it when we bought it).
As for the insides being plastic (I assume that it is the washing arm), the reason that is is plastic is to stop things that touch it by accident during the wash cycle from melting. Our last dishwasher melted a couple of knife handles and plastic cups because the metal would heat up so much, the plastic is there to stop the melting.
I guess we got a nearly new $1500 dish drawer for $50 so it is a bit hard to complain about the 2 years we have got out of it so far. We thought if it lasted us 6 months we would have got more than our money's worth out of it ... but it is still going strong.
TG, the F&P dishdrawers that I saw in showrooms were actually ALL plastic inside, not just the arm. The racks and everything. But maybe they're not all like that???
