Its extra-drying feature propels the Farberware FCD06ABBWHA among the best drying dishwashers out there – an impressive feat for such a low price. And, finally, one of the key features that we like is its child lock function that prevents accidental button touches.

Since most of the reviews are extremely positive, it’s safe to assume that this dishwasher is reliable, easy to use, and efficient. In any case, let’s explore both the good and the bad that people had to say about it.

The Good

It marks all the criteria that you should look into when selecting a dishwasher. And, again, we know we’ve stressed this enough already, but it’s an astounding unit for such a low price.

It’s one of the most affordable dishwashers that you can get while at the same time managing to outperform many other more expensive options. Sure you won’t get nearly as many place settings as built-in units, but what you can fit inside will get cleaned adequately.

Key Takeaways:

• Just the right size to fit on top of any counter
• Does a good job of cleaning and drying dishes
• Fairly quiet

• Includes a rinse aid dispenser and the manual tells you how to use it accordingly
• Can be used in an RV and you can easily transport it to another location if you plan on moving
• Delivery time was decent for most people, and the unit arrived scratch and dent-free

The Bad

Of course, there are a few downsides, much like with any dishwasher. The good news is that there are not too many.

However, it wouldn’t be fair for the Farberware FCD06ABBWHA to get a pass without mentioning them. So let’s see, in short, what some users didn’t like so much about this unit.

Key Takeaways:

• The power cord is a little on the short side
• Doesn’t completely eliminate the need for pre-scrubbing or pre-rinsing
• Baked-on grime and grease don’t get eliminated as easily
• A few users said they received broken units

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Farberware a Walmart brand?

Farberware isn’t a Walmart brand per se, but they have recently released a lineup of products sold exclusively at said retailer.

Is Farberware made in China?

Meyer Corporation US owns and distributed Farberware branded products, and its manufacturing facilities are located in the USA, Thailand, Italy, and China.

Is it cheaper to use a dishwasher or wash by hand?

While it might seem cheaper at first, washing dishes by hand is actually more expensive in the long run because of the fact that humans can’t wash dishes at increased temperatures, so they end up wasting far more water than a dishwasher.

Final Thoughts

The Farberware FCD06ABBWHA Countertop Dishwasher has many pros and very few cons, which is impressive for such a compact and affordable model.

Looking at Farberware’s track record, it’s easy to see that you can purchase their products without worrying about not receiving the full warranty or customer service when you most need it.

While this unit is typically meant for one or two people, even a family of four can use it as long as they don’t mind having to wash the dishes daily or even multiple times in a single day.
