Overview
The C-FDWBI8067-24BLK shares its core specs with the white Forno model: 26.54 x 23.85 x 33.74 inches, 102 lb, touch controls, 49 dB, and 120-volt wiring. The sole distinction is the glossy black finish, which suits kitchens with dark cabinetry, black hardware, or all-black appliance suites.
At 49 dB, the noise level is moderate, not whisper-quiet. In a kitchen that opens to a main living area, it will be noticeable during a cycle. Touch controls keep the front panel clean and uncluttered, which complements the sleek black look.
As with the white version, zero customer reviews means there is no owner feedback to reference. Forno's dishwasher products are newer additions to its lineup. For buyers committed to a black kitchen aesthetic, options at this price are narrower than stainless steel, and this Forno fills that gap. Those who can wait for reviews to accumulate before purchasing at $1,099 would be wise to do so.

Frequently asked questions
How does the black glossy finish hold up day to day?
Glossy black surfaces show fingerprints and water spots more easily than brushed or matte finishes. A microfiber cloth and gentle cleaner will keep it looking sharp, but expect to wipe it down more frequently than a brushed stainless panel.
Is this dishwasher the same as the white Forno model except for color?
Based on available specs, yes. Both the white and black C-FDWBI8067 models share the same dimensions, weight, noise rating, touch controls, and voltage. The color finish is the only confirmed difference between the two.
Are there other black built-in dishwashers at this price range with more reviews?
Yes. Samsung, GE, and Bosch each offer black or black stainless dishwashers with substantial review counts at similar or nearby price points. If confirmed owner feedback matters to you, those are worth comparing before committing to the Forno.
