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???
Well. How do you guys go about fitting things in your F&P drawers? Because the girl pointed out that I'd probably struggle to fit some of my baking trays or muffin pans in there? Stockpots?
I sort of fell a bit in love with a Bosch with its own cutlery drawer at the very top...like the Mieles do, apparently.
And Sez, it might give you a giggle to know we had a chuckle when I was saying 'yeah but Sez says' .
Hahaha Nelle, yes I am chuckling away! You know, I actually thought I was really keen on getting a Miele, but when I checked them out, not so keen. Obviously they're made extremely well, but Bosch (and Asko for that matter) have better features I think. Good luck making a decision, it's hard!
dh stacks the dishwasher each night, so I have no idea how he fits everything in, but he manages to. If it's up to me to do the dishes, I wash the big ones. I'm not very good at stacking the dishwasher
Yeah there were lots that I liked, it's so hard to choose. The Asko was cool but I didn't see any white ones so didn't look too hard - the whole kitchen is white so that's what we're going for with the dishwasher. Same with the Blanco.
I was looking at the LG's (something I want is childlock and halfload) but one of the salespeople told me that the LG half load doesn't actually use less water, whereas the Blanco and Bosch half loads use just over half the water, so sort of more a true half load. I sort of like the idea of doing a half load around lunchtime to combat stuck on breakfast cereal. Who knows.
ETA: Lol Jodi, perhaps your dh has more Tetris experience? I often sing the Tetris music when we're packing the car at IKEA. No idea how I'm still alive.
