single dishwasher drawer - installed in lower part of cab?
Comments (1)In case you need to save place it's a nice idea. Just make sure the drawer height plus compact oven height don't exceed your cabinets height. Otherwise if you have plenty of place, the single dishdrawer raised up close to the worktop is more user friendly, expecially if you're tall Candy group produces similar already-made matches : dishwasher + oven and dishwasher + oven + cooktop IMHO 2 separate units (as you're thinking about) is a better idea : usually dishwashers have a shorter lifespan than ovens. In these Candy units when the DW is KO one has to replace the whole multiple appliance...See MoreSingle drawer dishwasher UNDER a prep sink?
Comments (22)Very glad I saw this site. I am designing a kitchen in a 7' x 4'-6" space in a Brooklyn apartment. I'm considering the Fisher Paykel single drawer DW installed installed beneath a standard, undermounted 24" wide SS sink in a 36" wide base cabinet with a stack of 8" wide (Inside) drawers to one side. I see no difference here (ergonomically) from bending to fill/empty an regular front loading DW. I could do without a DW but resale is a concern at some point. Since we're all going full electric in the near future. I'm thinking of getting a 24" induction stove/cook top. The cook top would provide additional space to do food prep, etc. Anyone have experience with induction cook tops? Thanks....See MoreFamily of 5.....Dishwasher Drawers??
Comments (24)I have a set of dishdrawers, tall tub on top. We are a family of 5. Although we bought them when the kids were not here 100% of the time. But when they do all come home, there is usually more than just 5 of us, there is 6,7, or 8 depending on who is bringing whom home. What I like is that we can run it after prepping. And then after dinner, it is done, we can load up the other drawer, run it, empty the first one, and then fill it with dessert dishes and anything else that is left over from the prep and serving. Do you ever run out of stuff when serving big dinners, like forks or spoons, and you find yourself hand washing them so you have them for dessert? You can run the fast cycle and they will be ready in time. There is a learning curve on loading them so you can max out the space most efficiently. Once you have that down, you will not look back. Mine are not that noisy, yes, I can hear it, but just at certain parts of the cycle. And as far as installation, it's worth having the pro who really knows how to install it do it. I've never had a problem because my guys were fantastic. Next house? 2 single tall dishdrawers, one on each side of the sink. :)...See MoreLooking for Reviews of Ikea Sektion Drawer-Within-a-Drawer
Comments (6)I have had the Sektion drawer in drawers since April. Overall, I really like them. I don't find them cumbersome to use. It is easier to keep the items you use most often in the bottom section so that you don't have to then pull out the top section to grab something. When you open the drawer, the main drawer (bottom) is exposed. To get at the interior drawer, you have to then pull that one open. I don't think you can "lock" the top drawer so that it's the first one you see when you open it, but you can kind of grab it as you're opening the main drawer so they both open at once. I do like that I can separate things so that I don't have one huge drawer with too much stuff in it. For example, I have my baking utensils in the top drawer, then my general utensils in the bottom. Every single top drawer you see in my kitchen has a drawer within a drawer. The lower drawers are just regular drawers. In the island, I have my pot lids in the top interior drawer and my pots below them in the main drawer. It works really well to keep things organized. One note, which IKEA may have addressed by now: The screws from the cabinet hardware stick out and bump up against the interior drawer, causing the paint to rub off. I bought some adhesive drawer bumpers to prevent this. I've attached a photo showing this. And I'll also attach some photos of the kitchen itself, which I am super happy with. Happy to answer any other questions!...See MoreAMS
