Product review (1 stars): Buy quality and cry once.
My initial experience with this product was very good; it is quiet, very attractive, washes dishes well but shortly begins to deteriorate just like the experience of so many others posted here. All but one of our Frigidaire kitchen appliances has now had problems of one kind or another over the last year and a half. I wish we had read Amazon's reviews before purchasing anything in this product line. Behind all of that pretty stainless steel is cheap plastic and only enough of it to barely do the job. This manufacturing method may benefit shipping and installation as well as short term profits for Frigidaire but in the long run it is not economically or environmentally sustainable. Oftentimes I walk into our kitchen and I think back how distraught I was when my wife insisted we install designer grade granite at a cost of more than double that of the contractor grade but now I am so glad we did; I wish we had done the same with the appliances! Buy quality and cry once.
Sometimes you do get lucky and I hope others that have these particular appliances continue to experience this kind of good luck; however, I have not had that good fortune and will no longer be buying or recommending the Frigidaire line to anyone regardless of who their next parent company is and the reputation they currently have or may have had in the past. Amazon has provided us with such a tremendous tool to protect ourselves from the corporate cheapsters. It is time to do "due diligence" and read the reviews first!
