Frigidaire FDB949GF Dishwasher

Pros: Sleek design and quiet!
Cons: We haven't found any

My husband and I, finally agreed that it was time to replace our old bothersome dishwasher. It had begun to rust on the upper rack and had started to leak; therefore we set out to find our 'dream dishwasher'.

What we admired most about our...

Pros: Looks great
Cons: Makes Dishes dirtier, extremely noisy

I am an angry woman for many different reasons. Poorly written software and badly made clothes get my goat. Bad customer service and rude people burn me up. People that say (and spell!) "draw" instead of "drawer" make me want to...

Pros: QUIET, easy to clean, cleans dishes fantastically
Cons: none

I have had nothing but bad luck with dishwashers, having owned three different brands in the past that lasted no more than 5 years, some less, and all of them would drive me out of the kitchen if I got a phone call because they were so loud.

...

Pros: lots of features, relatively quiet
Cons: nothing major - slow to wash, is quiet but could be quieter

We bought this dishwasher when we moved into a new home that had an ancient, almond-colored dishwasher that emitted a foul odor whenever it ran. After looking through many models at several stores, we ended up on the Frigidaire Gallery since we felt it...

Pros: Has a plate warmer (oooohh!)
Cons: Speads a fine layer of crud

Summary: My Frigidaire FDB125RH Dishwasher won't wash dishes. Experienced maintenance and appliance people laughed when I told them I used this model. Their professional advice: stay away from these inexpensive but ineffective dishwashers.
...

Pros: Safe for my crystal, lots of rack position options for large items
Cons: Unit doesn't dry dishes completely, not as quiet as expected

Finally, a dishwasher I can put stemware in and not have to worry about finding my glasses in shards at the end of the cycle. I have etched crystal tumblers that have lived in my china cabinet for ten years because they never got clean when washed by...

Pros: It looks great
Cons: It doesn't drain well, requires frequent maintenance and doesn't clean well

The developer specified Frigidaire Gallery appliances for our new house, including the dishwasher. It looked pretty good and we hadn't heard anything BAD about the model. We used to have a pretty old Kitchen-Aid and it was great.

The...

Pros: Reasonably quiet
Cons: Unreliable cleaning, poor ergonomics, inadequately designed plastic clips, overpriced replacement parts.

I bought this with the naive assumption that dishwashers were pretty straightforward to design. The first thing I noticed was that there seemed to be no handle on the door front so that one had to have pristine hands to open it. That struck me as odd ...

Pros: Heavy duty, super quiet, energy saver, cleans dishes with clean, hot water
Cons: None

Frigidaire Gallery dishwashers are the "oh, so quiet" scrubbers you've been looking for. Unlike the overpriced brands, this gallery model offers all the perks for a pittance. You won't need to wash your dishes before putting them into this...

Pros: looks nice very quiet
Cons: Poor design/construction

This dishwasher worked OK, was very quiet and easy to use BUT a serious design problem exists at least with the stainless steel exterior... to my horror I discovered that the front door cover is only help on by two small sheet metal screws AND is...

Pros: quiet
Cons: food crumbs on everything

I've had this dishwasher for about a year and a half, and it's always had a problem with leaving little crumbs all over our dishes about half the time. The dishes also stay pretty wet after a load. But I do have to admit it's pretty quiet--I can talk...

Pros: electric and water efficient; time and work saving
Cons: I am spoiled

During a total remodel of our kitchen, I managed to find room in the configuration to add a dishwasher. Imagine, there never was one in this kitchen. We had one once, several years ago, in a house we were renting, and it was just awful. The hot water...

Pros: None
Cons: unreliable.

All I can say is make sure you keep the warranty up and/or have a home plan that covers your appliances! We bought the entire Frigidaire Gallery line when we bought our house.....Dishwasher, stove, fridge, washer, dryer. The dishwasher has now gone...

Pros: cleans dishes like it should
Cons: none

I could not hardly wait to receive my NEW dishwasher. Ours had torn up and flooded our kitchen the week before, and we did dishes by hand for a week. That felt rather strange! Our landlady shopped around for a new one and the day it was delivered we were...

Pros: It is extremely quiet and does not use a great deal of water.
Cons: Doesn't clean well, filter needs constant cleaning, poor construction

I have always had a GE Dishwasher. When my last dishwasher was on the blink, I decided not to repair it but to buy a new one. I researched Consumer Reports and they recommended the Whirlpool and so did the salesman in the appliance store.

It...
