I would not recommend ANYONE buy this or any other Frigidaire product. Just over 1.5 years ago we remodeled our kitchen and purchased an entire suite of Frigidaire Professional series products (fridge, dishwasher, mircowave and range).
The first dishwasher delivered had a huge dent in it, and had to be re-delivered before we could even install it (in retrospect the dent was probably the least of our worries).
From the start the dishwasher made a grinding sound at one part in the cycle. We thought it was odd but normal given that it was brand new. A few months into our ownership that grinding noise became louder and constant throughout the cycle.
When the repairman arrived to diagnose the problem he took one look at the model and said, "Ohhhh, they've been having a lot of problems with this model." A lot of problems is right!
It turns out that the motor was bad, and had to be replaced. That motor lasted for another few months before the grinding noise came back again. We replaced two motors under the original manufacturer warranty.
Knowing this was a ticking time bomb, we purchased the extended warranty. Almost immediately afterward our dishwasher began spilling water onto our hardwood floors. (Since we often ran the dishwasher at night the first time the water sat on the floor the entire night before it was discovered).
This was an erratic problem and Fridigaire wouldn't replace any of the parts without verification on the problem. It took six months, but I was finally able to capture the leaking on my phone to "prove" the problem existed, at which time they replaced a flimsy rubber gasket that probably cost them all of $20.
We are now on our third motor and it too is beginning to fail. The noise is still erratic, so it will probably be another few months before Frigidaire will admin there is a problem and do anything about it.
All in all, here's the run-down of our experience with Frigidaire:
1) Dishwasher - Zero reliability. If you're won over by the positive reviews here, do yourself a favor and buy the extended warranty; you can thank me later.
2) Microwave (FPBM189KF) - Zero reliability. It's dead after 1.5 years and will cost more to repair than to replace.
3) Refrigerator (FPHC2398LF) - One service repair under warranty for water leaking onto the floor from the ice machine. The custom counter surrounding the fridge is actually wrapped from the water leak.
4) Range (FPGF3081KF) - Amazing. True work horse. Stove warms fast and has five burners (one is narrow in the center and great for pan sauces and griddles), oven is great, warming drawer is a nice plus. I wish all Frigidaire products could work this well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kc Oh so quiet!!
This dishwasher replaced an old, LOUD dishwasher that didn't clean well at all. This one is so whisper quiet I can run it while I watch TV without turning up the TV!
Other reviewers commented on the lack of a true locking mechanism when running. I checked out a friends Frigidaire before purchasing this one and his had a similar design and he'd never had a problem with it - so I took a chance on this one.
I've owned it for about a month and have had no trouble with it. It pushes close and you hear a small click. Never had a leak or a problem so this has not been an issue for me.
The buttons are a little tough to press when turning it on but again - not a major issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 beautiful range
Purchase was considerably cheaper than I could obtain at appliance store or big box store.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Tony B would not buy again
Frigidaire builds good appliances but this is not one of them.
Unit does not come with hose hookup hardware. You must buy every thing.
Unit does not come with power cord You must buy one.
Unit has a very flimsy way to wire up a cord. There is not a place to clamp the cord after wiring is done.
UNIT DOES NOT HAVE A DOOR RELEASE you just have to pull on the door. The door is VERY flimsy and leaked the first time it was installed.
This dishwasher is not a good choice but we had to buy it in a package of 4 appliances.
