Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

So Far, So Good

TK55 10/29/2025

Purchased this dishwasher from Wal-Mart online because they offered a reasonable install price, with a 4 year warranty.. local vendors here cant match. This runs very nicely, so far, no leaks. however, the pull out top and bottom baskets and runners are a little cheap-cheap - - thinking they should be more robust, heavier guage for $800.

It runs pretty quietly, which is nice and even without the dying aid the dishes dry pretty well which our last dishwasher did not do! Dishes come out nice and clean.

Great compact dishwasher

ValentinaB 10/3/2025

We™€™ve had this dishwasher for a few weeks now and it™€™s been wonderful. It™€™s quiet yet efficient. The interior set up allows space for a ton of dishes. The buttons are on the front and it™€™s very straightforward to use. Our dishes come out clean every single time. Would absolutely recommend.

I was skeptical about having such a small dishwasher, but it™€™s easy to use, seems to do a good job and I like how easily the top rack adjusts. It also doesn™€™t run for hours, which is a nice change from my old GE. Seems to be pretty quiet too.

18" dishwasher for cottage kitchen

Mphe 6/4/2025

This unit works very well and runs quietly. It fit nicely in our small kitchen. We have plenty of space in it to load about 2 days of dishes for 2 people. We are happy with our purchase and glad not to have to wash all of our dishes by hand any longer.

Surprisingly fits a lot!

Great little dishwas 4/14/2025

Could only fit an 18 inch dishwasher in our kitchen and this worked perfectly. It™€™s small but fits a surprisingly good amount of dishes. I™€™ve been able to fit smaller pots and pans in. We are a family of 3 so I usually run it once or twice a day. Dries well too! The only wetness I™€™ve noticed with the heated dry setting is on top of mugs. I do notice a white film on some items but I think that is due to our hard water. Love that it has a sanitize option too. There is no pre wash compartment just one main detergent compartment but all dishes so far have come out clean. It runs pretty quiet too. Having this compact dishwasher is a game changer going from not having one at all!

Clean, Not Always Dry

crbg 4/9/2025

I love running my Frigidaire 18-inch dishwasher every day! When a 60-minute wash cycle is done, I open the door, turn mugs on their sides, do an errand, and when I come back everything is dry with much less energy used than my old standard-size washer.

18 Inch Under the Counter Dishwasher

Tfaughn 3/11/2025

Bought this to install in a kitchen with built-in-place cabinets that are not standard size. Thankfully, the dimension guide that came with the appliance was perfect. After cutting the opening through the cabinets, the dishwasher fit perfectly. Connecting water and electric was straightforward too. The whole job took me about 6 hours, which I consider very good considering the carpentry work I had to do before actually installing the dishwasher. Installation only took about 1/2 hour, and the dishwasher works very well. It does a great job cleaning and drying the dishes. I would recommend this dishwasher to anyone considering buying it.

Great dishwasher for our new bar

RAS57 3/11/2025

We bought this dishwasher for a new bar we just put in our basement. We opted for a smaller dishwasher since it will primarily be used for glasses. The dishwasher looks great and so far it has worked great to keep our glasses clean and spot free. I would give it 5 stars but it is still pretty early on (only had it about a month) so want to wait to make sure there are no issues that arise with it.

Portia75 3/5/2025

I am very happy with my new 18inch Frigidaire dishwasher. It replaces another brand that was cheaply made, poorly organized and not easy to operate. This size dishwasher is a rare commodity and we were delighted to find this one that fits the space in our tiny kitchen and also works so well.

Still wet in normal mode

Grace4199 1/14/2025

Wonderful upgrade! Replaced a near 20 year old dishwasher with this in white. The install was easy and use so far has been pretty good. Very impressed with the heavily soiled dishes I stuck in there to test out the heavy mode. However, in a normal mode, dishes are still wet even ensuring that heat dry is left on. I feel like they are extremely wet, not just the tops of cups with a bit of standing water. Wet to where every item would need dried off manually before being put away.

EvieD 12/31/2024

When we built out our pantry and realized there was only room for an 18inch dishwasher I was upset thinking I should™€™ve just had a cabinet there. Little did I know how much I could fit in my tiny dishwasher. The best thing is it actually dries plastics and there is no reservoir of water left on the tops of glasses and mugs after the end of the cycle! It is very quiet too! I am ecstatic with how well this little powerhouse looks and functions!!

Lfish74 12/15/2024

This dishwasher is incredibly quiet. Sometimes I forget it is running until I hear one of the compartments ( detergent or rinse) pop open. It is of necessity the smallest ( most narrow) dishwasher I have ever owned, but it certainly does the job quietly
