Well, I'm in a new apartment again, and that means I've been able to leave that piece of shit Haier dishwasher behind. What am I rewarded with in the new place? A virtually brand new Frigidaire dishwasher. This one's quite nice actually, because it's NOT a tower wash. It is a Frigidaire 1050 with that 4 level PrecisionWash system. I have to say, these past few weeks I've enjoyed it very much. It alternates the spray from lower arm to upper level. This is good because the wimpy motor is not powerful enough to pump water through the arm and tower together. But when the water is split between two wash arms? There's plenty of pressure to go around. What makes me happy is it actually cleans! And I don't have to prerinse anything anymore because the filtration system works well, and the middle tower cleans all of the upper rack. No more towers! The only thing it doesn't do, and I don't think ANY Frigidaire can do this, and that is scrub pots and pans. The water's still not strong enough. But it cleans crusty dishes just fine. What I did was wrap the front of the machine in Saran(tm) wrap and ran a 'rinse only.' Take a look inside! CLICK HERE TO GO TO johnb300m's LINK |

Thanks for the great video footage. Most people have never seen a Frigidaire at work. I had two different TOL Frigidiare dishwashers and both did a great job on dishes and cutlery. The 'Upper Rack Only' and 'Lower Rack Only' cycles got a lot of use in my house. They struggle with the crustiest pots/pans, as you pointed out, but otherwise I liked them. |

That dw should date between 2001-2006. Frig changed the top arm to fill out of a back hose instead of from the top nozzle. Gives a little more room in top rack. My latest frig is 2007 and it is a little quieter than the 2001 model. |
