We put one in last year. The homeowner loves it. THere was a bit of head-scratching getting it in, and it took every bit of the opening. It came with a video that she had to watch twice before she figured how to use it. It also works as a plate warmer.
Good luck, Kimball
Basically two separate machines. Two feeds - two drains.
Installed three - one in my house, one in son's house, one in sil's house.
Great machines, extremely quiet and does a great job on the dishes.
Here's a consumer review site.

I installed one of these a few years ago that had the custom panel attachment and it was a real pain to install/align the faces. Don't know about the stainless steel faces, as in the photo.Those are probably not a problem. Big $$$ for these
Biggest question is what you will do when you want to wash BIG items. I personally like the Bosch models
Since they are drawers, they are connected with hoses that move with the drawers. Talking to the guys at the appliance place, the hoses start to chafe and leak after a while....messy..Did not use it for that reason...
I heard that too. Look great, but if they are used regularly, they start leaking after a year or so and the hoses are hard to replace. Would love to use them (provided some rich guy like Andy C buys them for me), but waiting for them to fix the leak issue.
Had ours for over 5 years and love it. Love it so much we pulled it from our last house and moved it with us from Little Rock to Raleigh. Only had one leak and that was from NOT using the bottom unit often enough, seals dried out. Quiet as a church mouse. They do have filters and not built in gaburators like American made units so the filters do have to be cleaned if you do not scrape the plates before washing, but the client doesn't have to know this. Install is not brain surgery if the plumber is worth his weight in salt, installed our own, twice! Sepatate hoses for each 'drawer', but they go into a wye ("Y") before entering the drain. Your client has good taste.
Let's not confuse the issue with facts!
