What customers like about Frigidaire FFBD1831US

  • A cutlery drawer keeps small items off the racks.
  • At 26.7 kg it is light enough for one person to move.
  • Washing and drying both get class A.
  • A delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead.
  • The digital display and time remaining indicator show how long is left.
  • Rinse aid and salt indicators show when supplies need a top-up.

What customers don't like about Frigidaire FFBD1831US

  • Each cycle uses 13.25 L of water, which adds up over a week.
  • Eight place settings are small for a family or for guests.
  • There is no half load option, so small loads use a full cycle.
  • There is no favorite cycle, so the usual program has to be picked each time.
  • There is no program sequence indicator to show the stages of a cycle.

Verdict

Light at 26.7 kg, the Frigidaire FFBD1831US is easy to move, and it has a cutlery drawer. The delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead, and the display shows the time left. Washing and drying both get class A, so the results are dependable. The trade-off is capacity and water: 8 place settings are small, and each cycle uses 13.25 L. There is no half load option, so a small load runs the full cycle. Quick, intensive and delicate programs are all there, and the rinse aid and salt indicators help with upkeep. It is less suited to a family that often hosts guests. It suits a couple or a small household that does not need much room for dishes.
