  • Fabulous machine!
This dishwasher is great! It's small but mighty, got the dishes and silverware spotless the first time I used it (I rinsed the food off before loading), is quiet with a relaxing steady rhythm, and is the answer to my lengthy search for something that would work in my living circumstances. I had been researching these devices extensively, and nothing felt right until I found this one....the interior design is good (allowing taller plates), and the silverware container holds a lot of pieces if you take off the top screen, which I had to do because the bottoms of my cutlery pieces are too wide to fit into the slots of the cover. The fact that you can add water manually solved the problem in my particular situation, and it appeared to drain just fine. Granted, I've only used it once, but I was extremely happy with the results and hope that this lasts for years to come with proper maintenance. TIPS: 1. when installing the drain hose, make sure you turn it to either side rather than toward the back, as this will allow the hose to unwind properly and not make the exit end point upwards. 2. Even though the dryer worked famously, I opened the door a bit overnight to let fresh air in; a trick I've learned with other dishwashers. 3. For those of you who can shop at Trader Joe's, they sell wonderful automatic dishwasher detergent packs (free and clear) that worked beautifully with this machine! 4. There is a small opening for hot steam to exit on the upper right side of the machine, so you'll want to allow space next to it and to not put your hand up there while the moist heat is escaping. 5. I had to put this in my bathtub room, which works very well if you can put it on something higher than the tub to allow proper drainage. I highly recommend this innovative dishwasher! Update on Oct. 22, 2024. I continue to be astounded at how clean my dishes get in this machine, and especially the silverware....when I used to wash those by hand, they would be spotted after air drying, but in the washer they are spotless! After a year and a half of using this machine, I have had no problems, and the one time I neglected to put enough water in, the machine caught it and wouldn't run until I put a couple more ounces in. TIP....certain glasses and cups will inherently trap water on the tops even after the dry cycle, so I use a towel to dry those after the cycle ends and then leave the door ajar overnight to let the moisture evaporate. That method works really well. I will be running a natural dishwasher cleaner through it soon and haven't so far, but I also rinse all the dishes and silverware ahead of time so that there's no food on anything before loading. These two methods have worked to keep this machine in top condition. Lastly, I see that the newer machines come with a tray to help with filling the water bin by hand, but I've been using a funnel all this time...if you have an older model, you'll want to get one with a larger opening on the bottom because the narrower ones take too long. I recently bought a metal canning funnel with a wide opening, and it works great! ... show more

  • I love this machine!
Set name: Glass Door
I had serious second thoughts after ordering this. I feared i would feel the $$ were wasted. Well, after 5 weeks of having & using it, i'm here to tell you - I love this mini dishwasher!! It does a very good job of washing about a day worth of dishes for a single person, with just a couple of teaspoons of dishwasher detergent. The absolute best thing is how much less water it uses... just 5 liters for the entire wash & multiple rinses. That's less than the 2 or 3 gallons it takes to put soapy water in the sink, without even factoring in the gallons of rinse water. Also, since the unit heats the water, you will see a noticeable reduction in your water heater usage. I've seen a significant savings in both my gas & water bills. Even running it 2 or 3 times in a day would still result in savings you would see versus hand washing. Does it have limitations? Yes - you will still be handwashing most of your pots & pans, as they simply will not fit. Also, if you are using the drain hose to your sink but removing it from the sink between uses, it would be quite a mess if you accidentally forgot to suction-cup it back to the sink when using, as it will drain regardless of how you stash it in between uses. (I've put a large adhesive hook on the side of the unit to hold it across the door so i won't forget. There is a described option to add a drain pipe for the hose, but i won't be doing that) I tried the direct connection to the tap for the water, but only once. The hose is hard to stow between uses, as it's pretty long, very stiff, and full of water after use. If you can hook it to a dedicated tap, that would work ok. If not, the pour-in method work just fine, requiring about 3 of the 1.8-liter pitcher that comes with. I recommend hitting the start button after the second pitcher goes in -- it will ding 10 times to let you know it still needs more water, then ding again and start running as soon as it's full, saving you from possibly over-filling it. Worth noting - There are some models that are a tad larger, which you may want to consider if you aren't single. In summary, excluding large pots & pans, it washes my dishes well in just over an hour with a one-hour dry cycle available if you want. It saves on utilities, enough to notice in just one billing cycle, and i don't spend hours of my week standing at the sink with my hands in hot, soapy water! Very, very glad i bought this! ... show more

  • Small, but mighty!
Set name: Black Glass Door 10 Functions
I love this little machine! It is so easy to use. I loaded it up fully. Everything come sparkling clean even the pans. ( One that was scorched)! I live in a mobile home so space is of premium and this will fit under one of my cabinets but I value my counter space so it sits on top of my little washing machine. The hose reaches to my sink but I have to weight it down or the pressure causes it to come out of the sink. I love the fact that I can watch it work and that there is a light inside. The rack easily slides back and forth and I can take it out and carry it over to my counter if necessary. I would definitely recommend this wonderful appliance to anyone with small spaces. Oh and there is no leaking water during operation. It is a little bit heavy but even I can carry it if necessary. All in all the best money I've ever spent on an appliance. Oh, and there is no need to hook up to a water supply you can just pour water in the top and it tells you when it's full so you don't end up dumping water all over the place. ... show more

  • I love this little machine
Set name: Glass Door
Bought this a couple months ago and it has been run every day (sometimes twice). This little machine has really impressed me. Here are my observations: Gets the dishes clean. I've only ever had to re wash an item once and, to be fair, it was encrusted with baked on cheese and probably wouldn't have come completely clean in a full sized machine either. I use store brand dishwasher packs, no need for the expensive brand. I used the vegetable setting once (no soap) to wash a bunch of russet potatoes and they were the cleanest potatoes I've ever seen when it was done. It's bigger on the outside. Duh. But it surprised me how much of a difference it was. All the same, I am still able to fit a surprising amount of dishes in it. I really pack them in too but they still come clean. I still have to wash my pots and pans by hand, they're too big to fit, but I really don't mind having to wash a couple things and my sink is clear of dishes! Speaking of size, my kitchen is small with limited counter space. Even if it would fit under my cabinets (which it won't), I didn't want to give up precious food prep space so I purchased a small cart on casters. I just wheel the dishwasher over to the sink when I'm ready to run it. I feel like it would not fit under most cabinets in the kitchens I've seen. Measure carefully! I love that it has the option to fill it with water or to hook it up to the faucet. I always use the reservoir because my faucet has an odd shape that wouldn't work with the direct hookup. It's a bit of a hassle to fill, takes three of the pitcher that it comes with to run. All the same, glad to have the option since it wouldn't work for me otherwise. It fills at the top and comes with a tray/funnel which helps keep the water from running all over. It's not overly loud, neither is it silent. The noise doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as washing endless dishes day after day after day did. Or worse, not washing them and having a depressing mess to look at until I finally just do it knowing I'll have to do it all over again soon. The loudest part of the cycle is when it drains. It drains out of a hose attached at the back of the machine. I just put the end of hose in the sink and the dirty dish water goes down the drain. I'm very careful to empty that hose when it's done but I still always manage to drip some water on the floor somehow. I've had no real issues so far except that occasionally the top sprayer arm does not want to spin. It's like it trys to but there's not enough water pressure or something? So it spins for a bit, stops, spins some more. I don't know, it's not obstructed and it spins freely when I give it a twirl manually. The dishes still come clean so I'm not overly concerned. The window on the door at the front allows me to view my dishes being cleaned for me; which is a small, but real, delight. I love watching the sudsy water spraying all over my bowls, cups, plates and utensils. The chiming song it plays when it needs water or is all done always makes me smile. And, did I mention, my sink is clear of dirty dishes! Hands down the best present I've ever bought myself. It's not perfect, but I really love it. ... show more

  • Wow!
Set name: Glass Door
Dear Lord this thing is amazing! I’m disabled with a really bad back, and doing dishes was near impossible for me to do. Having to stand and lean over just that little amount was agonizing! As a result, my sink was always full and I would wash what I needed at the time. I had heard about these countertop dishwashers and thought I’d check them out. This just happened to be the first one that appeared in my search, so I checked out the details and thought I’d give it a try. The price was low enough to cut my losses if it didn’t perform enough to help me out. And honestly, I was expecting that I’d have to almost wash the dishes myself before putting them in, as well as having to clean whatever it didn’t get when they come out. I know; might as well wash them myself! 🙄 It arrived, and although a little heavy for me to move around, it wasn’t so heavy that a lidocaine patch couldn’t help my back pain. I was pretty shocked at how easy it was to set up: unpack, attach a hose to the sink for draining, power on, load dishes, pour water in the top using the included pitcher, add detergent (I use the cascade pods), press the desired wash you want, press play (the button is like a cd player’s play/pause button), and away it goes! Sounds like a lot of steps, but it’s really not. That was just the steps from setup to wash. Still very easy! The cycle ran and I barely noticed it running! I live in a small studio apartment, and it sits no more than 20 feet (5.8 meters?) away from where I sit and watch TV. I didn’t even have to turn my TV’s volume up to compensate! I actually forgot about it, and went to grab some tea, when I found that the dishes were done! So, I went to put them away and had a sponge and towel ready to clean up the crap that was on the dishes when I put them in. I was SURE that it wouldn’t get those! Well, I was wrong! Everything that went in came out sparkling clean and dry! Was a VERY nice surprise!! If you’ve read this far, you have read the Pros. Now for the cons: 1: It is very compact and has a limited amount of space to hold pots and pans and larger dishes. I don’t use a lot of standard dishes. I mainly use different size bowls for my meals. And as it seems that this dishwasher wasn’t really meant to hold large pots and pans, the pots I DID put in were just as clean as everything else! It just took me a couple washes to get everything I had acquired in my sink over the past month+! 2: I can’t even think of a #2! It has, by far, surpassed my expectations and I’m very happy, to the point of being excited with it! This probably sounds like I’m someone from the company boasting about the product to boost sales. But I assure you that I am not. Just a very happy customer that tends to babble! 😂 And finally: I just got the dishwasher. So I can’t comment on longevity. We’ll see how long it lasts under fairly heavy use. It looks to be very well built, so I don’t expect to have any issues with it. But you know the saying: **** happens! lol ... show more

I hooked it up to my faucet for ease of use (I am short so adding the water to the top got a bit messy). Occasionally I have to loosen the top sprayer because it tightens up and stops turning.

  • Very easy to use, any cleaning issues may be the detergent not the washer itself
I waited a bit to review this, since my first impression of the dishwasher wasn't too good and I thought I might be returning it. However, it turned out to be an issue with the dishwashing detergent I was using and not the dishwasher, which works quite well now, so I am happily keeping this dishwasher. Firstly, set up is ridiculously easy. I bought this for the tank feature specifically, since I did not want to waste my limited apartment countertop space by setting this up next to the sink and hooking it up to the water supply. I instead bought a microwave cart that had sufficient weight capacity for this dishwasher, and use that to wheel the dishwasher next to the sink when I want to use it. Basically, all I had to do was "install" the outlet hose for the water to drain out, which consisted of just attaching the hose to the dishwasher and tightening the connection with a screwdriver. No problem with leaks at all. I did have a slight learning curve with how to load the rack properly, since I've always lived in apartments without dishwashers and thus always just hand-washed everything, but google was pretty helpful with that, as well as the picture in the manual. One thing to note is that there is no rinse-aid compartment, so if rinse-aid in necessary then you will have to buy a dishwasher detergent that includes it. There's also also no real detergent "compartment," per se, there's an indented part in the door that you pour the detergent into, but it's completely open so the moment you close the door it dribbles out and down to the bottom of the dishwasher. As previously stated, I wasn't too impressed with the dishwasher at first, due to my first load including a sauce pan that had dried red pepper paste sauce on it. I had bought a bottle of Cascade gel dishwashing detergent, as the instructions on the manual had specified the amount of detergent to use (8g for normal, 12g for the strong wash) and I read elsewhere that detergent tabs/pods were too much for a countertop dishwasher like this. Unfortunately, the whole load ended up with red stains everywhere. I will say a lot of it had been cleaned from the sauce pan, but there were small red stains on all the other dishes in the load as well larger stains on the plastic parts of inside the dishwasher. A second wash with the same detergent did not remove any of these stains. At first, I thought it was the dishwasher itself that wasn't properly washing, but then realized that the dishwashing detergent might be the real issue. I picked up a bag of Finish Quantum pods, with both bleach and rinse aid in the pod, to give the dishwasher another chance. I did take the opportunity to weigh the pod on my food scale, and one pod came out to be 15g. I placed the pod on the bottom of the dishwasher and ran the "strong" cycle to give the pod a better chance to dissolve completely and not leave a residue. Thankfully, this worked - and the red stains were gone, courtesy of the detergent pod! Now that I have a stronger detergent, I'm very pleased with this dishwasher. The running cycle is fairly quiet, and even the water draining from the outlet hose is quiet (a pleasant surprise, since I tried a different countertop dishwasher that BLASTED the dirty water out like a firehose and gave me a heart attack thinking a pipe had burst or something). My dishwasher sits a few inches below the sink, so although the drain hose empties well into the sink for the most part, the incline causes a little well of water remaining in the hose that I use a bucket to catch when I lower the drain hose from the sink to the floor. Overall very happy with the dishwasher, it's perfect for my needs living alone. Edit: Still working very well. Just wanted to add, for those looking for a cheaper detergent option, I've found that the Walmart brand Great Value Automatic Diswasher Pacs work just as well as the Quantum pods, and cost a LOT less. ... show more

  • IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE WITH THIS PORTABLE DISHWASHER!!
Set name: Glass Door
Okay. So I intentionally waited a whole year before writing a review on this portable dishwasher. I did this to make sure that I was able to accurately assess durability over time, as well as effectiveness. SPOILER ALERT--it still works just as great now as it did on Day 1. In fact, I'm using it right now, as I write this review.... Now I grew up during a time when parents would give their children something called "chores" to do. If you don't know what "chores" are, you're very lucky. Somehow, my daily chore was washing dishes. By hand. No dishwasher. I once asked my folks at the dinner table if we could get a dishwasher installed. What did I say that for?!? The reaction to my apparent blasphemy was immediate: My mom stopped, mid-chew, and gave me a look that could have turned Medusa herself into stone. My dad, seeing this, laughed out loud and answered [tongue-in-cheek] "Your mother and I already have 4 dishwashers--and we don't need to plug y'all in! Now. Go do the dishes. I'm sure your brothers thank you for volunteering, don't you boys..." That pretty-much settled the matter. Anyway, fast-forward about 30 years and I live in a rental apartment that-most unfortunately-did not come with a built-in dishwasher. To this day, hand-washing dishes is still my most hated house chore. So much so, that I would let dirty dishes sit in the sink for days at a time until there's no more room in the sink. Then, instead of washing the dishes, I would just stop cooking and get take-out everyday. All, to avoid hand-washing dishes, as though the dirty dishes would suddenly disappear, or get up and wash themselves, or something. And then, one day, my whole life changed! I know that sounds a little hyperbolic, but that's the only way I can describe what happened....I was browsing on Amazon [having totally abandoned that sink full of dishes, of course] and this wonderous invention appeared in my You-May-Also-Like thread. I was actually browsing for something completely unrelated, by the way. As soon as I saw it, my jaw fell to the floor. Phrases like "Why didn't I know about this?" and "Where has this been all my life?" came to mind. A portable dishwasher--who knew!!! The company that makes this just got a little bit richer, because that day, I hit Add-To-Cart immediately. But I consider myself a savvy shopper, so I made sure to read the reviews, the good ones and the bad ones, before I took that proverbial leap-of-faith. When it was delivered and I unwrapped it, it had condensation inside. DO NOT PANIC about that; it's supposed to come that way, as the manufacturer runs each machine through a full cycle for quality assurance just before shipping it out. I make a point to mention this, because some of the negative reviews were complaining about this, as though it were some kind of problem. In fact, the manufacturer has a video of this very process posted right here on Amazon. So, give it a watch. Now you can set it up to operate in one of two configurations. You can connect the dishwasher directly to your kitchen plumbing, or you can simply fill it with water manually by pouring water into it's top opening. Personally, I do it manually, since I live in a rental and I don't want to tamper with the plumbing, and I am definitely NOT a plumber, either. It uses only about 1.5 to 2 gallons of water for a complete load wash and rinse, as opposed to the nearly 10 gallons of water needed to hand-wash dishes in the sink. [Yes, I did compare water usage.] The dishwasher has several speed settings as well. I won't go too deep into that; it's in the user manual. But I will say this. I can confirm and attest that the dishwasher does also clean small pots and pans and skillets, as well as dishware and utensils. I mention this specifically, because I did not see anything about whether or not pots and pans and skillets could be cleaned. If it will fit inside the machine [even at an angle] the dishwasher will function. Then, I kinda went on a crazy cleaning blitz, and washed all sorts of things in there: All of those reusable plastic take-out containers I had accumulated; I took down the glass enclosure from the ceiling fan lights; the light bulb covers from the kitchen, bathroom, front and back porch; I even disassembled the chandelier and washed the glass pieces in this dishwasher. All came out bright and sparkly like brand new! Even the grease catchers from my electric stove burners came out clean! As for which type of soap to use, DO NOT use regular dish soap for hand-washing dishes, under any circumstances, as the resulting bubble-action will cause a malfunction. I cannot emphasize this more strongly [I learned this the hard way]. You MUST use dishwasher gel designed for use in dishwashers. I know that there are powders and even pods designed for dishwashers, but I have found out [from my year-long experience] that dishwasher gel is the most effective by far. So, think "Cascade" not "Dawn". When in use, the dishwasher itself is totally silent. All you will hear is the gentle sloshing sound of the water as the dishes are being washed. Personally, the sloshing sound is quite soothing to me; I have actually fallen to sleep listening to it several times. Imagine the sound that water makes when you are slowly rowing a boat on a calm lake. OMG! I didn't realize that I had written a book here; maybe it was the soothing sounds of my dishes now being washed for me that has allowed the words to come flowing! Well, my dishes are done. Oh, PS and by the way, It dries the dishes spotless, too! Enjoy! ... show more
