The dishwashers are designed with a stainless steel interior that not only enhances durability but also contributes to superior drying performance, leaving dishes spotless and free of residue.

The advanced technology features prominent in these dishwashers include the OrbitClean wash system, which maximizes cleaning coverage by using rotating spray arms. Additionally, the Energy Star certification assures users of energy efficiency, helping to reduce utility bills while being mindful of environmental impact.

Another characteristic that stands out is the noise level. The Frigidaire 18-inch dishwashers operate at a remarkably quiet decibel level, allowing for operation at any time without disrupting household activities. Some models also feature a delay-start option, enabling users to set the washer to run during off-peak hours for added convenience.
