Yes, it is quiet., and seems to be energy efficient, but the dishes are not dry after the cycle is through. I'm not talking about a little water here.... it's as if you interrupted the operation in mid-cycle and opened to dripping, sopping wet, puddled water, dishes. Had a repair person out three times, and they insisit that this is the way it's supposed to be and is due to the new "energy-star" efficiency. They recommend adding 'jet-dry' and opening the door to let them air-dry for a couple of hours. (This I can not do in my tiny kitchen, because an open door blocks the way past).
I have left the dishes for several days too (with the door closed), and they are just as wet as can be (a testament to the good seal, but not a help to my problem). I went online and found many similar complaints. I will try to return this. Wish me luck!

Well, this is not a top of the line dishwasher, which the price reflects, I suppose. But I HATE having to scrub my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. And I mean I have to get everything off the dishes first. If I leave a speck of, say, mayonnaise on a knife, it will be there when the cycle is done! And, as the other review says, the dishes are pretty wet when done. Glass somehow gets sort of dry (but not really), but anything plastic doesn't dry at all and I have to wipe everything down when it's done. Now I don't know about you, but it seems to defeat the purpose of having a dishwasher when you have to hand wash your dishes before putting them in and hand dry them when they're done!

After just having to call in a service call for my Frigidaire microwave, I saw my awful dishwasher is still being sold and thought I'd write yet another review on this cheap product so others will know not to purchase this. Let me say that I'm no fan of Frigidaire and was heartbroken when I had to leave my new Maytag appliances at my previous house when we sold it. I had no idea our builder used Frigidiare appliances, so you can imagine my disappointment when I first saw them in the house. Oh well, I thought.. I'm getting a new house, so I can adjust. Or so I thought. I absolutely hate this dishwasher. The outside "stainless" portion has rust marks on it and it's so loud you wouldn't believe it. I have to laugh everytime I look at the Use & Care Manuel because Frigidaire boasts how quiet this machine is. I don't know what they're comparing it to, but we have to constantly turn up the TV when it's running because it's so loud. We've been in our house for less than a year and we're already looking at replacing this due to the noise. And the other people who rated this are correct to say that it doesn't dry plastic, but then I will say that not every dishwasher does, so I'm not going to knock them down on that. Do not waste your money on this dishwasher, even if it's for a rental property. Spend a little extra and get a better quality model so you don't go nuts over the noise.
