Which is better for a quiet open-plan kitchen?

The Bosch. At 42 dB it is 12 dB quieter than the Frigidaire's 54 dB, which is a large difference at close range.

Is the Bosch worth the extra money?

If you run the dishwasher daily and want quiet operation, a third rack and better drying, yes. If budget is the priority, the Frigidaire cleans dishes for about a quarter of the price.

Which holds more dishes?

The Bosch, at 16 place settings versus 5 for the Frigidaire.

Which dries plastics better?

The Bosch. CrystalDry turns moisture into heat up to 176°F, which dries plastic items that air-dry poorly in most dishwashers.

Do either work with a smart home?

Only the Bosch. It supports Home Connect with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Siri. The Frigidaire has no app or voice control.

The Bosch's stainless steel tub and leak protection point to a longer service life, but neither maker publishes a lifespan figure here.
