Ready Set Go - The Dishwasher Test Drive

Posted on May 18, 2009

Can you really test drive a dishwasher? Diane MacEachern takes that challenge. The tried and true Maytag VS. the Energy Saving Frigidaire.

How do you "test drive" a dishwasher?

I''m about to find out. Sometime later this month, Frigidaire is going to deliver one of its new energy-saving models to my home so I - and my dishes - can give it a whirl.

Over the next few months, I'll be blogging about the Frigidaire Gallery Built-In Dishwasher(model number FGHD2433KF) as I compare it to my ten-year-old Maytag. I'll be looking at factors like energy efficiency, water conservation, noise, capacity, time savings, ease of maintenance, and any other issues that come up.

The Frigidaire dishwasher is supposed to use a lot less water and energy to wash a lot more dishes. I'll let you know how it performs. I'd also like to hear about the dishwasher you have - especially if you're buying a new one and are doing price and performance comparisons.
