Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy, and expensive and you probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Dish Washer

Submitted by PAD 8TH - 8/17/2023

So far very satisfied with my dish washer. Thank you for wanting my thoughts on my appliance.

I hate it.

Submitted by JSRat921 - 8/14/2023

Our 26 year old dishwasher unfortunately died and we needed to replace it. Read a ton of reviews on best smaller dishwashers and finally decided on this Frigidaire unit based on the positive ratings. After a few weeks of use I feel like we made the biggest mistake. This unit™€™s capacity is soooo much smaller than our last unit™€™s. We can™€™t fit nearly the amount of items in it, especially glasses/mugs and bowls. I don™€™t even understand the short spokes that are in it, they don™€™t support much of anything. If you want to stack bowls on the top rack you have to use the adjustable flap to support them which means you cut in half the space available for glasses. Due to the center spikes being so short and oddly slanted we can™€™t fit glasses in that area. The spokes for the plates in the bottom rear rack are okay, at least the spokes there are a reasonable height. The front part of the bottom rack however barely supports any dishes. Again, the short, overly slanted spokes keep bowls from being positioned upright and do not allow for that many items being placed in the rack. The last row of spokes on the bottom closest to the front of the dishwasher are so close to the edge that you can™€™t even squeeze small containers in there to utilize more space. As for plastic containers, what a pain. They don™€™t fit easily anywhere and stayed filled with water even after full cycle wash, despite using the heavy duty heated dry cycle. I notice the silverware often doesn™€™t get cleaned completely and have been having to wash by hand afterwards. The control panel is difficult to read and the font is very tiny so add that to the list of negatives. Only positive thing I can say is it doesn™€™t leave spots on the glasses or silverware. I hate it and am so disappointed. I wish I could uninstall it and return it, this is the worst appliance purchase we ever made. Guess we are stuck with it and with having to do more dishes by hand.

I4 errors

Submitted by Home bound - 7/13/2023

We haven™€™t a chance to truly enjoy the dishwasher. We purchased it as a second unit for our china and crystal glasses™€¦ it runs quite and is stainless steel but is plagued with i4 errors for leaks. We first have to appliance store come out but now we have referred the problem to Frigidaire. We hope this goes better!

Compact and quiet

Submitted by Qwesley - 4/4/2023

Our kitchen has limited space, so we were looking for a compact dishwasher. This was the perfect fit and we were pleased with how quiet it was. While it may be a smaller dishwasher, you can still fit a decent load of dishes in it and it cleans even some very dirty food-stuck-on dishes with ease.

Lower rack innermost wheels interference with vertical gasket on the two sides. This happens if the rack is pushed into the cabinet without being exactly centered. If the wheels were shortened slightly, this issue might be resolved.

Very pleased with new dishwasher.

Submitted by SusieII - 9/20/2022

This Frigidaire dishwasher works well. I am quite pleased. It's quiet and has a few more settings than my old one. I like the design of the tableware caddy, for it makes it easier to efficiently fill it with tableware.I might have designed the racks just a bit differently or made them, so they could be adjusted a bit. I don't often fill the racks with place setting for 8. Just the same, I'm pleased with the racks and I can put most skillets, and pots/pans in the dishwasher and everything comes out clean and air dried.Adding rinse aid ensures glassware comes out clean and much better looking than my old dishwasher towards the last.

Submitted by JC714 - 9/11/2022

The dishwasher is just perfect for my 1 bedroom home. It fit perfectly in the space available and was easy to install. The adjustable legs meant it was a nice, snug fit up to the bottom of my counter. It™€™s easy to use, and does a great job cleaning and sanitizing my dishes.

Great compact dishwasher. Perfect for smaller spaces

Submitted by jake615 - 8/24/2022

Great dishwasher. I installed a dishwasher in a kitchen that has never had one before and my only choice was to do an 18™€ dishwasher, unless I wanted to customize or replace a few of my cabinets. So far, this dishwasher has been great. We knew when we purchased it that the capacity would be less than that of a standard 24™€ but for a 2-3 person smaller household, this size dishwasher is able to handle our number of dishes just fine. Installation was simple and the cutout dimensional guide was perfect for cutting out an opening from my cabinets.The dishwasher itself works great. So far, the only complaint is that the dish pod holder can be tricky to snap closed and usually takes quite a few tries after putting a pod in.

Perfect For Our Small Space

Submitted by TOMALLEN63 - 4/8/2022

This replaced our 18-year-old, 18" Kenmore beast that sounded like a jet plane just before it died! It's surprisingly quiet and gets dishes clean. Who could ask for more? I just have one beef: the bottom tray gets stuck EVERY SINGLE TIME I pull it out to load. I then have to wrestle to get it back on the track so that it can roll back in.

Better instructions would help

Submitted by dcsemp - 1/22/2022

So far it is a very nice machine as far as function. My problem was with the installation. No where in the instructions does it state what the size of the water intake connector is. When the installion kit I ordered that was recommended by the seller had the wrong connector, it took me a week of trial and error and trips to the store to find the right one.If it had simply stated the size, my life would have been a lot easier.

Exactly Right

Submitted by VJ2021 - 11/12/2021

After researching available 18" dishwashers, I went with the Frigidare. So far, and it has only been about a month, it has met my expectations. The black model looks great; it cleans well; it fits the small space that I have. The GE it replaced was over 10 years old and no problems until this year; that is what I hope for with this Frigidare. BTW I believe the Frigidare cleans better than the previous dishwasher when it, too, was new. Rated 4 stars for now because we haven't used it long enough to give it 5 star rating.

Game Saver

Submitted by rgrove86 - 10/3/2021

As our 20 year-old dishwasher died, we search franticly for a new dishwasher. We found the reviews very favorable for this model. The modern design fits our kitchen perfectly. Operation of the Frigidaire was intuitive. All controls were well marked. The storage for dishes, cups and utensils were more than adequate. It is very quite which was a very nice difference than our old dishwasher. We have other Frigidaire appliances and they never have failed us. Would recommend this everyone.

There™€™s only two people in the house so a big washing machine would never have been filled. This little guy is just perfect, and I love all the settings that are offered. Low energy, quick wash, delicate, etc. My dishes are perfectly clean and don™€™t require you to scrub them over the sink first.
