Fisher & Paykel DD24DAX9 Double DishDrawer Dishwasher - Is This Dual Drawer Design Worth It in 2026?
The 42 dB noise level and dual DishDrawer design are genuinely impressive, but at $1799 this machine skips sanitize cycle, delayed start, heated dry, and WiFi that competitors deliver for far less.

How this product scores for different use cases
42 dB hits the excellent noise threshold, quieter than the 48-50 dB average for dishwashers. You can run it at night in an open floor plan without disruption.
The 42 dB noise level and unique DishDrawer design fit a premium kitchen aesthetic. Missing sanitize cycle, heated dry, WiFi, and interior lighting reduce appeal at this price tier.
14 place settings handle family-sized loads and dual-drawer design helps separate dishes by soil level. Missing sanitize cycle and adjustable racks limits daily cleaning flexibility.
The 23.56-inch width is standard, not compact, so it does not save counter or floor space. Single-drawer operation allows smaller washes, but $1799 is steep for space-saving needs.
No WiFi, no Alexa, no Google Home integration listed in specs. Touch controls are present, but there is no app control or remote scheduling capability.
At $1799, this is among the most expensive dishwashers available. It skips features like delayed start, sanitize, and heated dry that appear on models costing $400 to $700.
Our Verdict
This dishwasher runs at 42 dB, the best noise rating in its class. You can run it late at night without waking anyone. Most competing models run 6 to 8 dB louder.
The double drawer design is its biggest differentiator. You can run just one drawer when you have a small load. That saves water and energy compared to running a full single-basin machine.
At $1799, you pay a large premium for those two features. You do not get WiFi, delayed start, heated dry, or a sanitize cycle. Dishwashers at $800 to $1000 typically include all four.
It earns an ENERGY STAR certification and offers 6 wash cycles with a quick wash option. The stainless steel tub is a genuine quality advantage. But the feature gaps at this price are hard to overlook.
What We Like
- 42 dB noise level is 6 to 8 dB quieter than the 48-50 dB category average, hitting the excellent threshold
- ENERGY STAR certified for lower energy use on every wash cycle
- Dual DishDrawer design lets you run one drawer alone for small loads, saving water and energy
- 6 wash cycles including quick wash give you solid options for different load types
- Stainless steel tub holds heat better and resists odors compared to plastic tub alternatives
What Could Be Better
- No sanitize cycle, a standard feature on most competing dishwashers above $600
- No delayed start, which dishwashers priced $700 to $1000 commonly include
- No heated dry listed in specs, a feature found on many dishwashers under $500
- No adjustable racks, limiting how you load tall pots, pans, and oversized items
- No WiFi or smart home integration despite a $1799 price point where competitors offer app control
