My new condo kitchen is equipped with a very similar Frigidaire machine. It works exactly as described. |

That DW looks pretty funky I thought and correct me if I'm wrong but it seems high end of the market? Unusual now to see the exposed element but I guess that is due to the plastic interior? |

I had a TOL Frigidaire DW very similar to the one in video until one year ago, when I purchased a TOL Maytag. It did an excellent job on dishes/glasses/cutlery. It wasn't as effective on pots/pans/casseroles. The Maytag does a fantastic job on cookware. It does use more water and electricity, though. The Maytag also allows for more loading flexibility and will accept larger, odd-shaped items. The tub is a little deeper than the Frigidaire's. The video didn't mention my favorite feature of the TOL Frigidiares, which is the 1/2-load option. Mine would wash either the upper or lower rack in 20 minutes using about 3 gallons of water. I loved that feature. Maybe they've discontinued it. Except for having the control panel replaced twice under warranty (no cost to me) due to a dead 'start' button, it required no service in two years of very hard use. Before that, I had another TOL Frigidaire (no AquaSurge feature) and it required no service with 4 years of very hard use. But I'll keep my Maytag, thanks. It rocks. |

I had checked out this demo a few weeks ago and also checked out about 2 of these new models with the gray interior. They do seem to be better built than previous models. And compared to other plastic models of all brands they seem to posess a somewhat better quality. I do like the way the interior is laid out. I would recommend and consider them if the repair record improves. And yes the top rack only is a nice feature. And these TOL models do have that feature. Peter |

Items in the center of the rack are well-cleaned. My only gripe with the Frigidaire was that cookware often needed a bit of a scrub in order to come out really clean. I don't have to do that with my Maytag. Noise: The Frigidaire is not the quietest machine. Hardly noisy, but definitely not as quiet as a Bosch, for instance. |
