I researched many countertop dishwashers before purchasing and settled on this model. We are a household of 3 and have been very pleased and using it since Jan 5, 2021. It was very easy to set up. Everything I needed to set it up was included in the box. FYI I had ordered the pod type dishwasher detergent at the same time I ordered the the dishwasher but when I received the dishwasher the instructions recommend either the powder or the liquid as the smaller dishwashers require less cleansers than a full size dishwasher and a pod detergent may not dissolve completely. (I don’t know why I didn’t think of that.) So I had to return the pods and purchase powder dish detergent. We initially ran the first two loads on the regular wash which was great. Dishes were clean, cycle was quiet. We opted for the ECO cycle next to see if the time (1 hr 20 min) made a difference. Dishes were still clean! I then noticed in the manual a Party setting of a 20 min wash and wanted to try that. The load was the same – dishes just rinsed off, same as the regular load and ECO load and the dishes came out clean, just like the regular and ECO loads. So we’ve been using the Party setting ever since. Maybe 1 out of 5 loads we will get a dish or two with a little stuck on food but for a 20 minute wash cycle, I will take it.
UPDATE: It has been over a year and the dishwasher has been great. We still use the Party setting on occasion, but have switched to the 45 min setting for most washes. We will use the ECO setting also and the normal setting as well. If we have a lot of dishes we will use the Pots and Pans setting. We haven’t had any mechanical issues. On a couple of occasions the hose has become loose in the back and has leaked water while running a cycle. We attribute this to winding and unwinding the hose, so now we check on that connection once in a while. For the rinse aid, I mix about a 1/2 t of white vinegar with 1/3 c water and add it to the rinse aid dispenser and it works great. This has been a really great purchase.

Works great but won’t fit the plates. Which is okay as long as the cutlery and glasses come out perfectly clean as they do. It will do smaller plates but not normal sized ones. I really like it.

EDIT: 90 day update. Still going strong and zero issues aside from some detergent packs that just didn’t dissolve properly. One of these was a dishwasher cleaner pack and the other was just a normal Finish pack. I’m not sure why there was a problem. Cascade Platinum packs doubled in price to 50 cents each so I have moved to using the much cheaper Cascade powder detergent most of the time and it always works fine.
Original review below:
This is the first dishwasher machine my family has ever had since I was a kid so I have nothing to compare it to. However, the results I’m getting are amazing. Incredible, even. Every single thing is coming out squeaky clean. Maybe all dishwashers are like this and I don’t know any better, but I don’t care. I absolutely love what this one is doing for me and wish I’d gotten it years ago.
Pros: Gets stuff clean. Does what it claims to do. Very quiet. Uses only 570 watts at peak and that’s quite reasonable for an appliance. Good build quality and materials. Mine had no dents from shipping. The Danby name is not exactly a household name in the US but it is a major brand in Canada and it’s a real company, not just a brand conjured up out of nowhere.
Cons: It’s small but takes up a huge amount of the counterspace in my tiny apartment. To be fair, it’s not a lot wider than my old dish rack and drip mat. But it’s a solid cube. The machine does not have a top sprayer bar. My dishes are still getting clean just fine but it would be nice to have that feature. It also lacks a drying cycle. Damp dishes are going to air-dry slowly. The faucet hookup works but it’s probably my only frustration point. Using this machine means I cannot use my faucet-mount water filter while dishes are running, and then everything has to be unscrewed and swapped out of the faucet end. There’s apparently no way around this. Nobody seems to make a Y splitter to let a faucet have two devices hooked up at once. Or at least, I’m still trying to find one.
Other thoughts: I’m using a one-two punch of Cascade powder for prewash and Cascade Platinum pods for the regular wash, along with rinse aid from Lidl. If you don’t know why prewash is vital, please see Technology Connections on Youtube for his outstanding video on how dishwashers work and how they should be used.
The combined cost of detergent and electricity to run one load, for me, is about 40 cents. The water use is so little, I can’t even count that as a cost. It’s only a couple gallons and much less than I’d use washing by hand. But with 100% less back pain from standing at the sink. Worth every penny!

Bought this dishwasher a few days ago and so far it is a fantastic little unit. Dishes were sparkling clean, unit is very quiet and is surprisingly roomy for such a small unit. Only downside of this unit is that the back connectors are in a very awkward space and it isn’t easy to get the hose on which you need to make sure are nice and tight or you will get a bit of a leak.

Bought this because I have very limited space in a small kitchen at my cottage. I installed it in a cabinet and was able to save the drawers due to its small size. Install was easy just needed to buy a braided line for the water supply and adapt it because the thread was not compatible with my plumbing. The hardware store helped me and it was very easy. Most importantly the dishes have been coming out clean as a whistle, even knives with peanut butter on them are sparkling. I’m just using powder no name dish detergent and Finish brand Jet dry. It’s small but manageable. I’d say even if you have a large group it’s easy to just do a couple quick setting wash cycles. It is very quiet and looks great too. I have owned expensive Bosch dishwashers in my life and this one works as good if not better. Not certain how long before it malfunctions but for now I highly recommend it.

I had some difficulty at first with some scale being left on my dishes. I was trying to follow some of the directions that mentioned using powder and less detergent due to the small size of the dishwasher, but was having a residue left on my dishes. Although I had read that some dish detergent pods might have too much detergent I tried the basic Kirkland packs (which are just packaged powder) and my dishes started coming out perfect. I wish I had a bit more space to accommodate some larger dishes, but I still enjoy having it to take care of all my day to day dishes. Perfect for a single cause lets face it you’re never going to empty it, clean dishes get used and put in the sink and after 2-3 meals you’ve used everything in the dishwasher and fill it back up to run it!

Does a very good job and is very quiet. Will do pots and pans, but limited on space if you need to do more than 1 at a time, when included with other dishes. Very pleased with this unit.
