Description
Summary:A flagship product of the company, the DishDrawer has won numerous design awards, sold over 1 million units since its introduction and earned an energy star rating for meeting the strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency. The highefficiency pump has an integral, variablespeed, brushless, direct-current motor: an innovation pioneered by the company to reduce part counts, fit in a small space, lower energy consumption, and provide quiet operation for home appliances. During several prototype testing cycles, engineers count on their decades of experience in modifying the design and strategically positioning vibration damping materials until sound levels are acceptable.
