... I've been sick the past few days and have been snooping through the forum. I was, in my mind, thinking it would be cool to have a goal of finding a top-loading dishwasher like the KitchenAids or the Maytags...
I got to thinking why no one makes a machine like that now considering little bending is involved.... Then either the pain pills kicked in or I had a true flash back and I saw the 'dish, drawer, dish, drawer' commercial pop in my head... At this point either the cats knocked something over or the lightbulb exploded in my mind... ... Anywho, not that I am going to obsess over getting a pair of dishdrawers (I actually acquired a set and they are in my storage unit, someone was supposed to buy them from me but never showed). I remember seeing someone post that the dishdrawer seemed to be going away... I thought I would check on F&P's website and saw the new Tall tub drawer... How awesome is that? I'd imagine they'd be better for pots and pans, but who knows... Anyways I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with the talls, or actually if anyone had any experience with the DCS Double DishDrawer Tall which claims "7 Place settings per drawer; Top drawer accommodates 13” plates, Bottom drawer accommodates 11 1/2” plates". If only these units had a food grinder... You can thank this post for the epiphany! ( www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... ). |

My cousin has the double dish drawer and likes it. No issues so far and they are a family of 6 to 30 during the holidays. They seem to get everything in and clean... |

Ok, but how does that smartdrive wash/drain pump perform compared to say the pump thats in my Maytag MDB8959SBS (I believe its point voyager)?
I mean can these machines with their smaller components really perform as well or outperform bigger units? Is there water circulation on the top? I know KitchenAid used to use F&P for their drawers, then they switched to Fulgor and the Fulgor design had an assembly on the one side that had a few jets and what seemed like an augor on it that rotated and shot water in every which direction. How does F&P compensate for that? I've experienced what its like having a single arm unit with no water spray or trickle on top. My edgestar countertop unit doesn't have an arm on the top, it just has the one arm on the bottom. Sometimes I had problems with larger objects getting cleaned on both sides. |

There is no detergent in the video clip. Any foaming is from aeration of the water. My DD603 (series 3.5, current models are series 7) takes ~0.8 gals per fill. It'll be 11 years on 8/21. The spray is strong enough to flip plastic items. I've had a couple incidents of a small glass custard cup overturning, depending how/where it was loaded. I bought a few KitchenAid rack clips to anchor lightweight items -- the old-style KA clips work nicely, the new style doesn't. Latest design has the four side shelves height-adjustable and fold-down tines in the rack. There are no such provisions on DD603. |
