The best dishwasher on the market is from Fischer Paykel. The dish drawer. So cool and whisper quiet. You can run two loads with different settings -- gentle for crystal and regular wash for pots and pans -- or just half a load in one drawer.

You have to see one in person, though. Their site photos don't do it justice.
