I purchased this dishwasher to replace a leaking samsung.  I would place the frigidaire at the same level of cleaning as the samsung and slightly quieter.  At certain portions of the cycle, you can't even tell that it's cleaning.  I am very happy with my purchase.  I was happy with the Samsung, but not about it's durability and ability to be repaired.  Time will tell if the firgidaire holds up to daily use of a busy family.
