Fisher & Paykel DD60DAX9 Series 7 Double DishDrawer Dishwasher – Stainless Steel
Model: DD60DAX9
The Fisher & Paykel DD60DAX9 Series 7 Contemporary Double DishDrawer™ Dishwasher combines premium stainless steel styling, flexible dishwashing and everyday convenience in an innovative two-drawer design.
With a total capacity of 14 place settings, including 7 place settings per drawer, this Fisher & Paykel double drawer dishwasher allows you to wash smaller loads independently or operate both drawers simultaneously using different wash programs.
Featuring six wash programs, SmartDrive™ technology, fan-assisted drying, flexible internal racking and quiet operation, the DD60DAX9 is designed for households that value convenience, efficiency and a well-organised kitchen.
Its contemporary stainless steel finish, easy-access drawers and practical built-under installation make it an excellent choice for modern Australian kitchens.
Why Choose the Fisher & Paykel DD60DAX9?
Unlike a conventional dishwasher with one large pull-down door, the Fisher & Paykel DD60DAX9 features two separate DishDrawer™ compartments that operate independently.
This gives you greater control over how and when you wash your dishes.
For example, you can wash breakfast dishes in the top drawer while keeping the bottom drawer available for dinner, or run a delicate glassware cycle in one drawer while washing heavily soiled plates in the other.
The result is a dishwasher that adapts to your household's daily routine rather than requiring every load to fill a traditional dishwasher.
Two Independent DishDrawer™ Compartments
The standout feature of the DD60DAX9 is its innovative double drawer dishwasher design.
Each drawer operates independently, allowing you to:
-
Wash dishes in just one drawer when you have a smaller load
-
Operate both drawers simultaneously
-
Select different wash programs for each drawer
-
Separate delicate glassware from heavier kitchen items
-
Wash frequently used dishes without waiting for a full dishwasher load
This flexible design is particularly useful for families, couples and households with changing dishwashing requirements.
14 Place Settings – Flexible Family Capacity
The Fisher & Paykel DD60DAX9 accommodates 14 place settings in total, divided evenly between two drawers.
Top Drawer: 7 place settings
Bottom Drawer: 7 place settings
Total Capacity: 14 place settings
Each drawer offers a practical true half-load solution, allowing you to wash smaller quantities of dishes without needing to fill the entire appliance.
When both drawers are used, the dishwasher provides enough capacity for everyday family dishes, cutlery, cups and cookware.
Easy-to-Use Drawer Design
Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer™ dishwashers are designed to open and close like kitchen drawers, making loading and unloading more convenient.
The upper drawer sits at a comfortable working height, reducing the need to bend down when loading frequently used dishes.
This ergonomic design is particularly appealing to customers who prefer easier access compared with a conventional dishwasher that requires lowering a large front door.
Six Wash Programs for Different Loads
The DD60DAX9 features six wash programs, allowing you to select the most appropriate cleaning cycle for different dishwashing needs.
Heavy – Designed for more heavily soiled dishes, pots and pans.
Medium – Suitable for regular everyday dishwashing.
Eco – A water- and energy-conscious program for normally soiled dishes.
Fast – Ideal when dishes need a quicker turnaround.
Delicate – A gentler cleaning option for suitable glassware and delicate items.
Rinse – Useful for rinsing dishes before a complete wash cycle.
Because the drawers operate independently, different programs can be selected for each drawer.
SmartDrive™ Technology
The Fisher & Paykel DD60DAX9 uses SmartDrive™ technology, combining intelligent electronic control with a brushless DC motor system.
This technology helps regulate the wash mechanism according to the selected program, supporting effective cleaning and smooth operation.
Its innovative design also contributes to the dishwasher's compact drawer-based configuration.
Flexible Racking & Easy Loading
Both drawers feature practical internal storage designed to accommodate a variety of dishes, glasses and utensils.
Key storage features include:
The flexible internal layout allows you to adjust the available space for different dish sizes, making everyday loading easier.
Quiet Operation – 43dBA
The DD60DAX9 is designed to provide quiet dishwashing performance.
With a manufacturer-listed noise level of approximately 43dBA for the upper drawer on a standard cycle, this dishwasher is well suited to open-plan kitchens and households where noise levels matter.
Its quiet operation allows dishes to be washed with minimal disruption to everyday activities.
Fan-Assisted Drying
The dishwasher features fan-assisted drying, helping remove moisture from washed dishes during the drying stage.
This supports convenient everyday dishwashing and helps improve drying performance across suitable loads.

-
4.5 Star WELS Water Efficiency Rating
-
3.5 Star Energy Rating
-
6.9L water consumption per drawer per wash
-

The independent drawer system allows you to select a single drawer for smaller loads, providing flexibility when washing fewer dishes.
