Frigidaire FFCD2413UW Review

Frigidaire FFCD2413UW Design

In addition to its affordable price, it has a simple white design with a control panel located on the upper front. When it comes to the exterior of this dishwasher, it is not resistant to fingerprints, but the positive thing is that except in white, the Frigidaire FFCD2413UW can be found in stainless steel and also in black color.

As for the interior of this affordable dishwasher do not expect too much. When you look inside you will immediately realize that most of the interior is made of plastic with a monotonous gray color. The racks move easily inwards and outwards but they are not adjustable. The tines of the racks are not moveable, which has a very negative effect on the usefulness of this dishwasher.

The plastic interior has a negative impact when it comes to reducing noise levels when this machine is in operation. You should know that while this dishwasher is running do not expect it to be quiet, the noise level it produces is around 60 decibels, which is enough to keep you awake while you sleep near it.

Another thing to note when it comes to the interior of this dishwasher is that the cutlery basket has an old open classic design without compartments and lid. On the one hand, this old-fashioned design allows you to easily put cutlery in it, but on the other hand, due to the lack of compartments and lid during washing under the influence of strong jets of water from the jet sprays the cutlery will start to jump around and bunch up which reduces the effectiveness of their cleaning.

Frigidaire FFCD2413UW Cleaning Performances

For successful and efficient washing of dirty dishes and other items, Frigidaire FFCD2413UW features a powerful triple spray system. This triple spray system is able to easily remove any food leftovers from your dishes such as dried meat, burnt sugar, baked-on cheese, pasta residues, spinach stains, stubborn sauces residues, and more.

In addition to being able to handle dirty dishes successfully, however, after each wash cycle, inside the Frigidaire FFCD2413UW you will notice stains and food debris scattered throughout the interior of the dishwasher and you will also find some food debris on some of the already washed dishes.

In this case, the only solution for the dishes that have food debris and stains is to go through the washing cycle again. This can somehow negatively affect your budget. But do not forget that this is an affordable dishwasher with a price range of around $ 400.

But to avoid such situations, it is advisable to scrape the excess food before loading the dishwasher with dirty dishes. This way the chances are much higher, so your dishes will be completely clean with just one wash cycle and at the same time you will save water, electricity and most importantly you will save money in the long run.
