I hadn't seen this one before. It seems quite different from the Smeg one, and much more usable. F&P are one of the, if not the, first makers of dishwasher drawers. There are some peculiarities, but most people who have the 24" ones are satisfied. This larger one looks easier to figure out how to load. The blurbs say that it can take a large dinner plate, unlike some. All the tines fold down and the racks are moveable.

Your best bet is to take some of your more difficult pieces to a showroom and see how they fit, but it looks good to me.

Our local appliance dealer has one on display, but has not sold one yet. What would you do with the space under the 36"? How big is your family? we have the 24" dual drawer and just use the top drawer unless we have company. We are basiclly empty nesters so we only run it every couple of days any way.

A storage drawer can be under any DishDrawer, long as there's a solid panel between to support the unit above. A 36" wide drawer is useful for storing pots/pans and such.

I just called Standards of Excellence. They have one installed. Time to go and play. We're empty nesters too. But, my back and knees are dictating purchases for our new kitchen.
I'll report back!
Thanks for the input!

Once you've got this up and running, I'm sure we'd all be really interested to know how you like it! I really wanted the 24" model because we are also empty nesters, but I do cook large amounts quite often (potlucks are a big thing with friends/family) and found my larger stuff just did not fit well in either the F&P or the European DWs.

I wish they had, because I'm so not pleased with the consistently wonky soap dispenser on the KA KUDS30IVSS we did buy.
