Where to buy the Fisher & Paykel DD60D2HNB9 dishwasher
🏆 Review & price summary
This Fisher & Paykel DD60D2HNB9 dishwasher is a built-under Double DishDrawer dishwasher with 12 place settings split between two independently operated drawers. It offers seven wash programmes, three modifiers, flexible racking, Wi-Fi connectivity and a built-in water softener. The drawer format makes smaller loads and easier access convenient, while the black stainless steel finish suits modern kitchens.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Two independent drawers allow smaller loads to be washed without filling a full-size compartment
- ✓ Flexible racking and separate drawer operation suit mixed loads, delicate glassware and everyday washing
- ✓ The drawer-style design can make loading easier and reduce the need to bend
- ✓ Wi-Fi connectivity, delay start and a time-remaining display add useful everyday convenience
Worth considering
- The supplied information gives both 42 dB(A) and 43 dBA noise figures, so the precise rating is unclear
- An energy rating of E is relatively modest, despite the stated low water use
- A total capacity of 12 place settings may be limiting for larger households compared with full-width alternatives

 Fisher & Paykel DD60D4HZB9 Series 9 Contemporary Double DishDrawer Dishwasher
|
80/100 | Quiet · Smart · Dual Zone | Compare review → |
The available product information quotes both 42 dB(A) and 43 dBA for noise performance. This does not change the product’s positioning as a quiet dishwasher, but the precise figure should be confirmed before purchase.
Flexible double-drawer design
The defining feature is the two-drawer layout, with six place settings in each drawer and 12 in total. Each drawer can be operated independently, allowing a smaller load to be washed on its own or two different programmes to be used at the same time.
True Half Load operation is a useful match for everyday washing, while the drawer-style opening can make loading more accessible. Flexible cup racks and adjustable tines provide scope for accommodating different crockery and glassware.
Programmes and cleaning options
Seven programmes cover routine, economical, delicate and heavier washing, including Eco, Glassware, Heavy, Light, Medium, Rinse and a 60-minute cycle. Quick, Sanitise and Dry+ modifiers extend the options for normally soiled dishes, hygiene-focused washing and improved drying of plastic items.
The supplied information also states that the Sanitise option achieves a 99.9% bacteria reduction in the final rinse and is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 184. This is a supplied product claim rather than a result independently verified here.
Noise, efficiency and convenience
The dishwasher is presented as a quiet option for open-plan kitchens, with the available information quoting both 42 dB(A) and 43 dBA. That small discrepancy should be clarified before purchase, although either figure would indicate quiet operation on paper.
Stated consumption is 54 kWh per 100 cycles and 7.8 litres of water per cycle. Wi-Fi with SmartHQ, delay start of up to 12 hours, keylock, a time-remaining display, flood protection and a built-in water softener add practical convenience.
Installation and ownership considerations
The Fisher & Paykel DD60D2HNB9 dishwasher is designed for flush installation under a worktop and has a recessed handle and black stainless steel finish. The supplied information states that a custom kickstrip can be used, but buyers should confirm installation requirements and available cabinet space before ordering.
A five-year parts and labour warranty is stated. The product information does not provide full installation dimensions, so this remains an important point to check for a precise fit.
Research note: this BestBuysUK assessment is based on the manufacturer's published specifications and other reputable technical sources. Specifications and retailer availability can change, so verify critical details before purchase.
