Throughout the house, drawer-based appliances have stealth appeal.

DishDrawer Dishwasher (BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine)

Available in single or double units, each DishDrawer is independently operated, allowing homeowners to wash small loads as economically as large ones, the company says. Users can program the wash depending on the contents of the load, from china and silverware to pots and pans. Each drawer holds six place settings and features a flow-through detergent dispenser and 163-degree final rinse. 888-936-7872.

Double-Drawer Dishwasher (BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine)

The company's double-drawer dishwashers bring flexibility to the clean-up process while occupying the same amount of space as a traditional dishwasher. The stacked drawers can operate on different settings, which means homeowners can clean greasy pots and pans while pampering fragile stemware and china. Using just one drawer for smaller loads saves water and energy, the company points out. 800-422-1230.
