Frigidaire Ultra Quiet III

I've had more than my share of experience with dishwashers - brands, styles, it doesn't matter. When we moved into the house we are in currently it came installed with a Frigidaire dishwasher. I admit I was skeptical, Frigidaire is one of the brands I hadn't really done any research on yet and I didn't know what to expect.

Now, to say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Our kitchen is open to the living and dining room and I had resigned myself to not being able to hear the TV or have dinner conversation if the machine was running - all our past machines had been so loud that until they were finished they suppressed any other noise in the house. Not so with this Ultra Quiet - it really lives up to it's name! I've been in the kitchen cooking, with the dishwasher going and can still listen/watch the TV in the living room, its great!

My second recommendation comes from it's interior design. I know a lot of dishwashers are moving the cutlery rack around to try to find the best fit - this one does a great job of it. I've had dishwashers in the past where I had to struggle to fit mixing bowls and some pots and pans into it - with this Frigidaire I never seem to run out of the kind of space I need. One load of dishes is all I need to run in a day anymore - it's a huge money saver on water and power.

The only problem I've had is with some of the dishwasher capsule/tabs not dissolving properly - and I'm not sure if thats a problem with how I'm setting it up or the dishwasher itself - it is itermitant and I haven't nailed that down yet. The only time the dishes aren't sparkling is when the tab doesn't quite break up.

Definately a 9/10 dishwasher though, I'd recommend them to anyone that will listen.
