Good dishwasher
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had frigidaire dishwashers for as long as I can remember and have always been satisfied with their performance. This is our 2nd small (18") one we've had, installation was fairly easy. Will continue to get frigidaire if ever needed.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I downsized all my appliances due to the small space in my kitchen. This 18" diswasher takes up less space and cleans amazingly! For the first time, I am actually putting dishes in the diswasher without scrubbing them clean first! Extremely happy with my Frigidare 18" dishwasher!!!!

            Rusty and Crusty
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It cleans really well but after almost 2 years of use the coating on the dish rack started to peel off and rust.

                Awesome compact dishwasher!
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are in a park model, so don't have much room. This 18" built-in dishwasher is perfect. Amazing how many dishes fit in it! The dishwasher cleans well and the dishes dry spot free. If you're on the fence about buying one.......do it!!!!

                  18" Built-In Dishwasher
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] During kitchen remodel wanted more counter top space. As a result standard 24 inch dishwasher was not going to work with new base cabinet configuration. Purchased the 18" Built-In Dishwasher and this unit worked perfect. Very quite and so far cleans dishes very well.

                    Little but mighty
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this 18 inch dishwasher. Fits à lot and does a wonderful job cleaning. And is so quiet

                      18 inch Dishwasher
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I recently purchased a home for our retirement. We liked the house so much that we didn’t realize it did not have a dishwasher. We didn’t want to lose a full sized cabinet and searched the web for alternatives which is when we discovered 18 inch dishwashers, Frigidaire were the only company that had one available. I have never owned a Frigidaire appliance so I was a little hesitant, but purchased it because of need. I am so glad I did, after I removed the small cabinet next to our sink, installing the Frigidaire was a breeze. Great instructions and easy to reach components. We ran the dishwasher last night for the first time and we were surprised at how quiet and efficient it was. Perfect size for a retired couple!

                        Dishwasher
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered the smaller model to fit my Kitchen. The unit works well with two short comings. 1st, the kick plate is missing. 2nd the bottom rack constantly falls off the track.

                          18" Frigidaire Dishwasher
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Better than I hoped for space and it cleans so well. I got this model to save space in my small kitchen. It works well for me as I do 2-3 loads per week but also handled Christmas Day for 4. The racks are able to fit various size dishes and flatware.Dishes dry well with no spots.

                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks great in my peninsula island Not installed yet but read the instructions and sounds simple to use
                            by
                              It is very quiet while washing/drying. I do not like the way the racks are laid out. It would be fine if I only used plates and saucers. Fitting in bowls and glasses is very difficult. I have used it for a month. I am not pleased with this dishwasher.

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never had a built in dishwasher only a portable. After many years, I needed to update a very small kitchen and was advised to purchase an 18 inch dishwasher. By doing this I was allotted more space, etc and added storage. I did my research then went to a local appliance store and purchased the Frigidaire dishwasher. It may be compact but it serves my purpose well. It is extremely quiet and does an excellent job of cleaning the dishes. I love the stainless steel interior. I would highly recommend this appliance to someone who has limited space along with Frigidaire's reputation.

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Runs quietly and washes as expected.

                                  Already Disappointed
                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fails to remove tea stains. Dairy leaves a film on glassware. Spoke to chatbot which suggested hand wash those items. Seriously!?! The stainless steel interior dries after the door is ajar for several hours. Nice to have additional wash options but the sanitize is the only new feature I can imagine using. Labels on buttons are tiny. I chose Frigidaire because of durability of prior dishwasher which did a great job for 20 years of weekly use. Innovations have taken a giant step backwards. Dunning for additional warranty years is reinforces that this product is DEFINITELY lower quality.

                                    Practical for 2
                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this compact dishwasher because of my space limitations, but it is able to keep up with our dishwashing needs for a household of 2. We're satisfied with the quality and ease of use.

                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new dishwasher. Dishes are coming out sparkly clean.

                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only used it a few times since it was installed the end of last week. I love it so far! Dishes have come out spot free! I look forward to many years of using this dishwasher. I now have a matching appliances with my refrigerator and range.

                                            Works well. Gets dishes clean. Very quiet compared to old one. Easy to install. Didn't give 5 stars because 90 degree elbow required for water hose hookup wasn't provided, and the required elbow was not the standard typical elbow for a dishwasher hookup and Home Depot (in store) couldn't provide it so I had to get it from the local hardware store.

                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s small but holds so much .If you are on the fence it is truly a great little dishwasher. Bought through Frigidaire and they did the install and took away my old dishwasher.

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our new 18" Built-In Dishwasher is much quieter than the last model and there is an end of drying time signal to let you know you can remove the clean dishes
