Talk:Drawer dishwasher

This is pure advertising. Gwen Gale 19:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Trademark

"DishDrawer" appears to be a trademark of Fisher & Paykel, and as such, can only refer to the dishwashers made by that company. This makes this really look like advertising, and also makes the mention of the Kenmore dishwashers inappropriate (there is no mention of DishDrawer on the Sears site). The generic term appears to be "drawer dishwasher" (found on Sears and KitchenAid websites).

My suggestion: Either add information to the Dishwasher article or create a drawer dishwasher article. (At this point, a section on the Dishwasher article is probably sufficient.) Then, change this page to a redirect to the appropriate article and section. (F&P was one of the first if not the first dishwasher drawer, and as such, people will use "DishDrawer" to refer to any drawer dishwasher.) HeirloomGardener 21:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

A lot of people still use Xerox interchangably with photocopy. Klinex is used interchangably with paper tissues. Likewise, people say polaroid for instant photo even though Kodak did something similar for awhile. I don't mind the title change, but I also think the term dish drawer is acceptable as a generic term. Kowloonese 22:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. I know that DishDrawer may be used as a generic term, but it should not be used that way in an encyclopedia. Using Kleenex as an example, that article is about the company. For information about the generic "kleenex", it refers the reader to facial tissue. I don't think The F&P DishDrawer needs an article, though, so a simple redirect seems appropriate.

Still advertisement?

Since the article was including three different brands, I went ahead and moved the article to the generic "Drawer dishwasher". I also changed most of the references from "DishDrawer" to "drawer dishwasher". Does this address the advertisement tag on the article? Can it be removed? HeirloomGardener 02:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I agreee this reads like an advert, it should be noted that all "dishdraws" are designed by F&P and that Whirlpool licences the technology, I am unsure wethear F&P makes all of them an rebrands or weather they are made by Whirlpool. I will update artical once I find this out Ctjohnst 04:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I have updated this page to reflect the history of the product development and made it read less like an advert. I still need to find a good reference to the fact that early models had noise issues I will try and find one Ctjohnst 04:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

no longer advertisment

I have removed the advertisment tag as I do not belive that it still reads like an advert. Comments? could some please read my changes and check Ctjohnst 04:55, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
