    Waste of money

    Gets the dishes clean and thats it. There are so many reasons not to buy this product. The controls on the outside are small and hard to read. Everytime you open or close the all the light light up like it is going to start. You have to press the "Review Setting" every time or the dishes stay wet. Who wants wet dishes?? This is just plain stupid. Here is another one, when you fill up the container for the "jet dry" there is no indicator how full or empty it is. The racks are so badly designed designed it will not hold up the bowls. They just fall over. I added small pieces of plastic tubing about an inch long and now the bowls stay up. Over all this appliance is TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. BUY ANOTHER BRAND. If I could get my money back I would. No appliance stores caries these on the floor to look and compare. We had to buy this from pictures on the internet. I am looking for an other one. I do not care I spent $950.00 for this. As soon as I find a good I am going to purchase it and throw this one in the trash. IT IS THAT BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!. First picture is of Jet dry holder, no way to tell much is in there.

    Perfect fit

    Absolutely love this dishwasher! Fits perfectly in my tiny kitchen and plenty of room for pots and pans. I love the multi choice options for loads, and a time saver option also.

    Don't love it

    It's a lot louder than I expected and I really don't like the rack configurations. In my old dishwasher, I could put any dish anywhere. This one you have to put what is intended for that section. For example, some of the pegs are so close together and angled in a way that you can't use them for much other than plates. Dishes get clean but heated dry still leaves them soaking wet.

    Clean dishes but some design problems

    The dishes come out clean and dry but I don't like the interior design as it doesn't hold as many dishes as my previous apartment size dishwasher and the display is almost impossible to read. The only thing that lights up when you push the start button is how many minutes for the load to finish.

    Arrived completely damaged

    I wasn’t able to open this until months later because of some health stuff but I felt pretty good that the box looked in good shape, however when I unboxed it not only was the door sharply bent at the corner (which I was willing to let go) but the entire side was pushed in and the back creased. Despite the 3 year plan I purchased, I was directed by Best Buy’s product support to contact the manufacturer. At this point I don’t think I’ll order appliances from Best Buy again. I’m also disappointed in Frigidaire as this looks like this was something that was boxed this way.

Questions & Answers
  • I have an existing cabinet with an opening that's only 17.75" wide. Can this dishwasher be used without making the opening wider?

    Hi there, valued customer! Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your inquiry. The enclosure must be at least 17.7 inches wide 23 inches deep and 32.5 inches high. For the front door of the dishwasher to be flush with the leading edge of the countertop, the countertop must be at least 23 inches deep. - Jessica

  • I have to buy a ADA dishwasher for our office which has not hot water supply and I was told to get a dishwasher with a heating element to heat it's own water. I can't tell whether the heat wash on this model uses a heating element.

    Hey, officeshopper! The model you selected is ADA certified and uses a heating element. ~Courtney
