Frigidaire - 24" Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher - White

Get more accomplished in a day when you let this 24" tall tub dishwasher do the dishes for you. The delay start function lets you set it and forget it as you go to work, run errands and more.

Dang good machine for the price!

Wife and I bought this Dishwasher to replace a similar bottom-of-the-line Frigidaire Dishwasher we installed years ago when we had just moved into our house and didnt have a lot of money. When we installed the first one, I was a little concerned about the mechanical timer and the tiny pump motor that they put in these things. It did an ok job if you didn't have caked on food and didn't overload it. It was very quiet and very cheap in price, if I remember correctly. The only problem we ever had with the first one was that one of my goofy kids broke the door latch. I ordered a replacement latch and easily installed it myself. Well, that machine finally gave up the ghost after 11 faithful years. No power, no nothing. After two weeks of washing dishes by hand (and that really sucked !!), I decided enough was enough and purchased this model because of the low price. I picked it , took it home, easily slid it in, hooked it up and used it. Boy, this thing washes GREAT !!!!. So far, we have had it about a month now and it is doing a fine job. It washes much better than the old one and we use it every single day. Dishes , glasses, Pots and Pans come out SPOTLESS and we have only used the Normal Cycle button. We really like the smooth touch electronic controls over the mechanical timer that the first dishwasher had.

The only reason I did not rate this machine a perfect "5" was for two small reasons. The first would be that on the old model came with an insulated "jacket" that surrounded the tub. I'm sure that the made it quieter when washing. When I pulled this new one out of the box, I noticed that it didn't have one. ( I guess Electrolux had to find some way of saving money by taking something away) Because this is so, there's slightly higher noise level only when the top level is washing, but otherwise, it's nothing to be alarmed at.
The second thing is that with this new model, the silverware basket is slightly shorter and narrower, so it kinds of "tips over" if you put something tall in in it. Seeing this, what I should have done is what another reviewer suggested...keep the old silverware basket. Unfortunately, I didnt.

With planned obsolescence the way it is today, if we get 11 years of of this dishwasher, then we will have gotten more than our money's worth. Hell, this machine only cost me $260, so that is only $24 bucks a year. You can't go wrong buying this one! Frigidaire did good!

What's great about it: Great price, good performance

What's not so great: Small Silverware basket, no insulated jacket covering the wash tub

I would recommend this to a friend!
