Top shelve has fold down shelves that are in the way. In the online photo it shows cups below and on top of these shelves. The tray will not slide in when loaded like that. The silverware baskets have fold down covers that have holes for silverware to go into. The handle on my forks and spoone don't fit in holes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Afternoon, Bummed out. We want to first welcome you to our Frigidaire family and express our appreciation for purchasing our appliances. I want to personally thank you for sharing your detailed quality and design feedback. Your voice matters to us as we constantly strive to be the best home appliance company in North America. We understand that not all handles on forks and spoons will fit into the utensil baskets covers, if needed you may fold the lids up to make more room. Smaller cup sizes may be required if your current cups do not fit on the fold-down cup shelf with clearance to close properly. We ask that if you have any remaining questions or concerns, please contact us directly. Kindest regards – Anna
The dishwasher is supposed to be fairly quiet. However, it still does produce a bit of noise. I had a larger dishwasher that extended deeper underneath my cabinet and held more dishes. I'm not certain if it is my perception or just not understanding the measurements. Either way, it doesn't require a lot of space, locks fairly well, and is a bit slow in responsiveness. Plus you can't just pick where you want it to start in a cycle. My son put a baking pan along the side and it touched the stainless steel and left rust stains. I wonder if that is a sign of poor quality.
I absolutly hate it. The plastic inside constantly smells. It is a Disgusting con't smell everytime you open the dishwasher. We just got the dishwasher and I want to get another one. I would Definetly Never Recommend This to anyone. I HATE IT.
I am pleased with this purchase. The dishwasher is very quiet and replaced a 25 yr. old dishwasher which I hardly used because it was so loud. The dishes come out clean and it is easy to load and unload. I have only used the energey saver so far. It fits great in the space under the counter. Other dishwasher were too tall.
Our previous dishwasher was a Maytag and it worked very well. (It got old and worn out). This Frigidaire dishwasher was cheaper, is very economical to run and gets the dishes and glasses wonderfully clean. I have nothing but praise for this unit.
