Frigidaire FDB1500LFS2 Review

This Fridigaire dishwasher is a simple, nice-looking appliance.  It has cycles for pots and pans, normal wash, eco wash, top rack and rinse only.  Options are sanitize, high-temp wash and heat dry.  It has a delay start also.  The controls are near the top of the door and are pressure sensitive, which means be careful if you lean on it or bump it with your hip because it may start.  There is a small basket in the bottom that will collect bits of bones or glass and can be removed for cleaning.

This appliance replaced an old Whirlpool which broke down 10 years ago.  That machine came with the house and was already 10-15 years old.  We are quite pleased with the new machine so far.  It has a decent capacity for cups and bowls in the top rack, which has its own spray mechanism attached to the bottom, guaranteeing that the insides of the dishes get clean. 

The bottom rack can hold a large pot, a serving bowl, and 12 plates of varying sizes.  Or you can fill it with plates.  The silverware baskets are a generous size.

It has a good Energy Star rating and was listed as the most economical of the dishwashers on display.  However, we haven't had it long enough to determine what effect it will have on the utility bills.

It has pleased us, though.  My husband because he no longer has to was a ton of dishes, and me because the cups and forks are always clean now!
