Hi Bill,

I have the F& P Double dish drawers. For the record, the top and
bottom are the same size contrary to what people are saying here.

Drying is never a problem. As a matter of fact, when the load is done,
the dishes are VERY hot. The coffee cups I have are a little indented
on the bottom, so some water does collect there sometimes.

I love them. It seems to fit SO many more things than my old Maytag.
I love having two utensil baskets. What's cool too, is that things
that are "top rack safe only" can go anywhere and in top or bottom
drawer(I called the company to confirm).

I was worried at first about getting a dishwasher withOUT a food
disposer (since my old one had one and I NEVER rinse my dishes). This
has never been a problem! I remove big pieces of food off the dishes,
but never rinse and they still come clean!

It's true, very large platters may not fit, but so what-everything else
does.

I don't know anything about the kitchenaide ones.
