We've been using this around two months now, and it has been doing an admiral job of keeping our dishes clean. While it's not the quietest unit on the market (I think they rate it at 55db), it's still whisper quiet. We can run a load of dishes in our open floorplan and you can barely hear it from our couch ~6 feet away. In an effort to make this dishwasher more efficient, it uses a series of washes, soaks, and pauses to get the most out of it's energy and water use. It seems to work well, but at the cost of longer cycle times - a normal wash cycle can take anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. Not such a concern for us since we typically run the washer when we go to bed or leave for work, but if you're hosting a large group for dinner and need to wash a load in a hurry, this isn't the washer for you. The stainless finish does not have a smudge resistant surface and seems to attract fingerprints and water trails on the front. It will clean easily, but it's not nearly as maintenance free as our range and microwave that do have smudge resistant finishes.
Quickly whip up a snack or meal with this Frigidaire Gallery FGMV175QF 1.7 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave, which features 10 auto cook options that accommodate a variety of food items. The 2-speed fan rapidly removes cooking odors from your kitchen.
Bought this unit mainly to match our Frigidaire Gallery range, so it's spot on there. Otherwise it does everything you expect a microwave to do - i.e., heat food. It has been fairly low-maintenance, cleaning has been easy, and the stainless finish does not attract fingerprints like some I have used. My only gripe is that the buzzer for the timer/end of cycle is insanely loud. I can clearly hear it from the opposite end of the house with the door closed and the TV on - and it will continue to cycle for several minutes unless you open the door or press the stop button.
