Fisher & Paykel DD60ST4NX9 Dishwasher

The Fisher & Paykel DD60ST4NX9 dishwasher is a premium built-in dishdrawer designed for modern kitchens where space-saving efficiency and high-end design are top priorities. Priced at $1,999.00, this model features the brand's signature DishDrawer technology in a single-drawer format, making it an ideal choice for smaller households, apartments, or as a secondary unit in a butler’s pantry. Manufactured in Thailand, it is finished in professional stainless steel and is backed by a 2-year warranty.

Unique Design and Core Specifications

Unlike traditional drop-down dishwashers, this unit is a DishDrawer, which opens like a kitchen drawer for easier loading and a flush, integrated appearance. It offers a capacity of 7 place settings, specifically designed to handle daily loads without the need to wait for a full-sized machine to fill up. Physically, the unit is compact, with dimensions of 46cm (H) x 60cm (W) x 58cm (D), allowing it to be installed at bench height for better ergonomics.

For installation, the manufacturer recommends a cold tap connection and supports a maximum hot water inlet temperature of 60°C. It is built to operate with water inlet pressures ranging from 30 to 1000 kPa.

Advanced Features and "Good Points"

Despite its smaller footprint, the DD60ST4NX9 is packed with specialised features—categorised as "Good Points"—intended to maximise convenience and performance:

• Optimal Drying: The unit utilizes fan-assisted drying to help ensure that dishes come out moisture-free and ready for the cupboard.

• Safety First: It features a comprehensive safety suite, including child locks for the door, controls, and dispenser, as well as an anti-flood hose to protect your home.

• User-Friendly Tools: A time remaining display and delay start function allow for precise schedule management, while fold-down plate racks offer flexibility for loading larger items.

• Notification: The unit provides an audible and visual end-of-wash signal so you know exactly when the cycle is complete.

Efficiency and Expert Testing

Sustainability is a key highlight for this model. It boasts a high 4.5-star water rating, with a claimed water use of only 6.9 litres per cycle. Its energy performance is rated at 3.5 stars, with a claimed annual consumption of 136 kWh. From an ethical standpoint, the brand currently holds a Shop Ethical rating of ‘F’.

To verify real-world effectiveness, the dishwasher was subjected to the CHOICE Expert Rating evaluation. Specialists tested the unit specifically using the Medium program to measure critical performance metrics such as washing results, drying quality, and energy efficiency.
