Frigidaire FDB750RC Slim-Line 24 in. Built-in Dishwasher

Pros: Washes very well and very quiet.
Cons: None Yet, So far, So good.

I reviewed the various dishwashers for the past month on every review site that I could find. One of the somewhat favorable units was the Frigidaire FDB750 series of washers. Right after Christmas, 2004, Sears put them on sale for $228.00 so I brought ...

Pros: Quiet, Looks, loaded with "usefull" options.
Cons: Honestly, none.

I just picked up one of these units last week. Our local Sears had them on sale for 229.00. This unit by far is not cheap in quality. It looks REALLY nice. Its EASY to load because there is no water tower to work around. What cought my eye ...

Pros: Gets off all sorts of crud, easy to use, quiet
Cons: Silly "Always On" function

Growing up, there were two things I knew about dishwashers. The first was that, invariably, I had to rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. In effect, the dishwasher was a hot steaming dish sterilizer, after they had mostly been ...

Pros: Since its made of steel if the water has not completely drained out, creates rust
Cons: Looks pretty,easy to use,load and removes stains when used with good washing liquid

The spray arms and two compact motors helps to eliminate the noise that other dishwashers try to mask. Washes your dishes more effectively, quietly and economically using less water, detergent and energy to remove even the toughest baked on food soils. ...

Pros: Reliable. Has yielded years of average performance.
Cons: Poor performance without heated rinse.

The Frigidaire Stainless Steel Built-in Dishwasher is primarily remarkable for its stainless steel finish. Otherwise, it is a basic modern dishwasher. It isn't particularly loud. It isn't particularly quiet. Its features are limited to a time delay ...

Pros: cheap stainless steal
Cons: 1 corn kernel clogs up drain, it doesn't wash well, it is not 'ultra quiet'.

True--this was the cheapest stainless steal dishwasher we could find.....however you get what you pay for. We bought this dishwasher when we built our house twenty two months ago. For the past month now, every other time we open the dishwasher after it ...

Pros: None - Do Not Buy Frigidaire
Cons: Everything about this unit and the experience of dealing with Frigidaire.

We purchased this unit in June of 2005 and had problems from the start. As another reviewer posted, it would get hung up in a cycle and not move forward unless you turned the dial which wastes major amounts of water and makes the delay start useless! ...

Pros: no water and dishsoap
Cons: none

great dishwasher, no problems and gets the dishes cleaner than a rag and water does. my mom loves it so

Pros: Quiet, large capacity, cleans well, low-priced.
Cons: I haven't come across any yet.

I'm a single guy who only needs to run the dishwasher every 5 days or so. Because of that, I pre-rinse. Therefore, I didn't need to purchase an elaborate machine, or spend much more than $200. I just wanted something that would get the job done well, quietly.

This Frigidaire does exactly that. It is very quiet, and so far, everything has come out clean and spotless.

You can get a lot into this machine too, because the cutlery basket fits along the side of the bottom rack, and there's no center tower to work around. There's a spray arm under the top rack instead, which you don't find in other machines at this price.

Another feature important to me is the design of the detergent dispenser. I have seen other machines that leak out the detergent before the main wash. Frigidaire has one of the best dispensers that seals very well and keeps the detergent dry and fresh until it is supposed to be released.

Efficiency is another benefit. This unit is Energy Star compliant, and uses only 6 gallons of water in a normal cycle. That's half of what my old machine used.

Pros: Works well and looks very nice.
Cons: Does not have adjustable tines/racks.

This dishwasher gives good value for the money. There is only two people in the house so it takes 2-3 days for it to fill up, so I always pre-rinse the really mucky dishes. If I am going to turn it on right after dinner, then all the dishes go in as is and everything comes out sparkling. It is pretty quiet and does what it is supposed to do. Overall I am quite pleased with it.

Pros: I love the price!
Cons: I hated the noise it made

This dishwasher cleans my dishes so well. And, for example if I were to have cooked on food, it'd clean it off!

Pros: looks good, low price, tall tub, quiet enough, fairly easy to load.
Cons: Does not clean well, cheap wheels and rollers, cheap racks.

this dishwasher came with my new house. I considered upgrading from the start, but figured I'd give it a try and be happy. Well, one year later I'm shopping for a new machine. It looks okay, loads good enough though nothing fancy, and though not exceptionally quiet, it is quiet enough for me. However, it is very inconsistent on getting dishes clean. You basically have to pre wash them, and I put them in with NO food on them whatsoever. Often them come out with soap powder residue on them. I think the way Frigidaire got the machine quiet was to lower the wash pressure, creating low performance in actual cleaning.

It's for sale...

Pros: Lightweight, easy to throw in the trash.
Cons: Cheaply made and doesn't wash dishes.

I regret buying this dishwasher. I should have had our old KitchenAid fixed instead. At least the KitchenAid cleaned the dishes. After 3 days of use, this plastic washtub can't do the job. It was also a pain to install. The cheap insulated cover kept getting caught in the flimsy door springs. This is one big disappointment. After two days, we are still waiting for an appointment for a repair man to see it. If you are shopping for a new dishwasher, save your money and buy a KitchenAid. It will be a lot less stressfull!
UPDATE: The repairman came and blamed the malfunction on wrong installation even though it was the same installation used on our previous dishwasher. So we hired a plumber to check it out. Nothing was wrong with the installation. Repairman came back and found a defective timer. So we had the machine for 2 weeks and it only worked for 3 days. The retailer took the dishwasher back and gave us a full refund. I now have a KitchenAid and what a difference in Quality! Plus, it really washes dishes! Never again will I choose a cheap appliance.

Pros: Looks nice and is supposed to be energy efficient.
Cons: Every thing about it.

This dishwasher is a major pain in the a--!!! It washes the dishes OK IF you rinse them well but it does not dry well unless you open it at the beginning of the dry cycle and shake off the water from the dishes and spin the water spinners really fast a few times. It also grows mildew because it doesn't dry. There is also the problem that quiet is not really that quite. It makes talking on the phone difficult. We can not usually hear the person on the other end. The TV also has to be turned way up because of the close proximity of living room and kitchen. I have had this for two years now and the tines are already rusting and it sometimes leaks around the door gasket. If you ask me this dishwasher makes doing dishes more difficult than washing and drying by hand. Especially if you want to keep your family healthy and you have a family member who is allergic to mildew.

Pros: Inexpensive, quiet, efficient.
Cons: Life span... 2 out of 2 dishwashers broke!

I have purchased two of these dishwashers. One for my rental home a little over a year ago and one for my personal home about 6 months ago.

At first they both worked great and I was very pleased with the options and the price, but about two months ago, the worst possible scenario occurred.

First the dishwasher in my rental home broke, conveniently after the 1 year warranty period. Then about a month later the dishwasher in my own home broke. Luckily the one in my home is still under warranty.

Both dishwashers failed due to a faulty pump. Either I am incredibly unlucky, or more likely there is a manufacturing defect with these pumps. Frigidaire is fixing the dishwasher under warranty with a brand new (and most likely faulty) pump, but will offer no assistance with the other dishwasher that is more than a year old.

Needless to say, this is the last Fridigaire product I will ever purchase.
