EDIT: One year later and it still runs like a beauty! I’ve had no problems with the dishwasher and I cannot stress how awesome of a purchase this was.
I’ve had this dishwasher for a few days now, but I’ll be back to update this review should anything relevant come up.
So, number one, it’s a great dishwasher. I’ve been using dishwasher pods and stuffing it as full as I can, and the dishes have all come out dry and spotless; no residue. It operates very quietly, with the exception of the periodic water draining, which can be a bit loud but only lasts for a few seconds. Overall the machine is pretty silent. The machine isn’t too heavy, but is sturdy. It’s much larger than a microwave, and I knew this beforehand, but it was still deceivingly large.
Installation was a bit of a headache. The dishwasher comes with an adapter for your kitchen faucet. If your faucet is a pull-out/ pull-down type then it will likely not fit. Unscrewing the head to connect directly to the hose will not work either as the manufacturers use a non-standard thread pitch.
The easiest solution is to actually do a bit of simple plumbing (don’t be alarmed!). I bought a “water line” with a 3/4” “garden hose connection” on one end and a 3/8” connection on the other; and I also bought a 3/8” 3-way tee connector fitting. Attach the garden hose water line to the tee connector (on the 3/8” side), and then attach the tee fitting to your hot water line under your kitchen faucet. Be sure to use Teflon tape to prevent leaks. The 3/4” garden hose side attaches to the dishwasher. The dishwasher’s drainage hose can be hooked up to the drainage pipe under the sink or can simply sit in the sink. All in all it should take about 10 minutes of work and $30 in parts. Still better than washing dishes by hand!
3-month update: still working like a beauty and my life is still 8,000% better now that I don’t wash dishes

Excelente opción para una vivienda de dos o tres personas. Deja muy limpios los trastes y sabiendo acomodarlos puedes optimizar bastante el espacio. La he usado hasta tres veces en un solo día y sin ningún problema en su rendimiento. Muy fácil de instalar y no es necesario realizar ninguna adecuación; esto es muy útil para espacios pequeños o incluso si rentas. En mi caso opté por instalar una segunda llave sólo para conectar la lavatrastes, pero puede ser directo a tu mezcladora y ya viene con el adaptador para conectarla sólo cuando la vas a usar. Yo uso el detergente en polvo y abrillantador de la marca finish y dan muy buenos resultados. Si tienen la oportunidad de adquirirla, háganlo. No se arrepentirán.

We moved into an apartment with no dishwasher…seriously, in this day and age?? It was awful handwashing dishes for my family of four. I cook at home and we don’t order take-out, which means a lot of dishwashing. I’ve been thrilled with this machine. I see that I ordered it back in 2021. It’s now May 2024 as I write this and I have never once had a problem with this machine. If you have supersize plates (11 inch), they will not fit but half-size and normal-size plates fit just fine. Pot lids fit well too. I was even surprised to realize that my huge pasta/lobster pot fits in (8 inches tall). I am also able to put in a very large deep pan with a long handle in (diagonally) and that fits. This thing has been a lifesaver for my sanity. Hand washing dishes is disgusting, unsanitary, and time-consuming. Get this machine! You need to keep it within 4 feet of a sink (and an electric outlet) because its hose attaches to your faucet for incoming and outgoing water (outgoing down your sink drain) As for noise, it’s quiet. It only makes loud noises twice during the entire cycle and just for 10-15 seconds or so, while it is filling and draining water. We have it on the counter along the wall that adjoins our neighbor’s apartment and she said she has never heard it running. It is a large machine. Take note of the measurements and make sure you have enough counterspace for it.

I recently got the countertop dishwasher and it has been an absolute game-changer in my kitchen! Not only does it save me valuable time and effort, but it also ensures my dishes are sparkling clean every time.
One of the standout features of this countertop dishwasher is its compact size, which fits perfectly in my small kitchen without taking up much space. The setup was a breeze, and I was impressed with how user-friendly the controls are. I appreciated the variety of wash cycles available, allowing me to customize each load based on the level of cleaning required.
Despite its size, this dishwasher offers surprising capacity, comfortably accommodating dishes for a small family or a gathering of friends. The adjustable racks make it easy to fit in different sizes and types of dishes, including plates, glasses, and even pots and pans.
What truly impressed me, though, was its cleaning performance. The dishwasher effectively removes stubborn food particles and grime, leaving dishes spotless and ready to use again. I was also pleasantly surprised by how quiet the machine operates, allowing me to run it even during quiet moments at home.
The energy efficiency of this countertop dishwasher is also worth mentioning. It not only saves water compared to manual washing, but it also uses less electricity, which aligns well with my efforts to lead a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.
In conclusion, I can confidently say that the countertop dishwasher has transformed my kitchen routine. It’s compact, efficient, and dependable, making dishwashing a hassle-free task. If you’re looking for a convenient and effective solution to streamline your kitchen chores, I highly recommend giving this dishwasher a try!

So it gets the dishes clean, smaller then I feel others have led on. You definitely can’t put anything over a 10 and 1/2-in plate and you have to be very clever. However, the ease of use and installation when you have no other options is awesome. I didn’t want to change out my kitchen sink so we are actually running it in the bathroom sink and moving it back to the kitchen when we’re done on a rolling cart. So of a day’s dishes for three people, it gets about 70% of the job done but when you have a spine injury I would have been satisfied with 50%. It is really big and we had to modify a microwave cart until the one that we ordered gets here. We had no leaks, the installation was easy, and my dishes are squeaky clean. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase so far. Edit a couple months later: I love it, I figured out how to optimize the space and it’s a freaking life saver. Rinse aid is a MUST!

Bought this for my 1 bedroom apartment. I despise dishes.. not to mention “wasting” gallons and gallons of water. I keep seeing people asking if this unit has a HEATING ELEMENT. The manual says “don’t touch the heating element” and also there are descriptions of each cycle and some of them have different Celsius degree temps. A logical person could suggest that it does have some sort of heating element. Not sure why they don’t market this, maybe its an industry standard, not sure. My cheap apartment faucet is so finicky with water temp either it is scalding or ice cold so i just keep it in the middle when i run the washer. This thing works really well as far as i’m concerned! There is no way I could get my dishes to look and feel this clean, not a chance. Save yourself the headache and just get the powder or gel, not the pods. My first normal cycle and the pod was still sitting at the bottom of the washer staring up at me, un-dissolved. Good thing I bought a package of like 100 of these things, right… So, I just cut them and pour the powder inside the flap and do it that way, works just fine. Noise level is surprisingly quiet. It’s loud at certain times for maybe half a minute at a time when the pump is on making noise and also when the water sprays into the sink. What I mean by “noise” is not the water or washing cycle it’s a strong bass-vibration; like I said i’m pretty sure it’s from the water pump. Just wanted to mention it in case someone thinks there is something wrong with their unit, there isn’t. installation was realllly easy for me, just screw it on and use the quick connect, pretty straight forward. Also, this is NOT a large basket in my opinion. Someone said they can do and entire sink of dishes and still have room, I find that hard to believe. Although, if you have smaller plates and cups and such in general, you’re better off so maybe it’s true. I will be purchasing an entire dish new set soon with size in mind. Also, don’t get excited about the little “shelves” they show the coffee cups on. Those have to be some sort of tiny cappuccino cups, again it’s not that big inside lol. When i’m done, I drain as much as I can out of the tubes and reel it up like a hose outside and slide my washer forward a bit and put it behind it. Ta-daa! Overall this dishwasher is great, and my cursing has gone down significantly after dinner 🙂
**PS. If anyone could explain to me how this thing actually keeps water within the pressurized tubes but yet doesn’t need to expel it every 10 seconds please let me know! I’m 100% this thing saves a tone of water because you have to leave the faucet on the entire time you use it, and it only pumps water out a couple of times; so obviously its not constantly using water haha. Just curious how it works is all, thanks!!

Great little washer. Its nice and quiet, only occasionally hear water draining. I run it twice a day and always gets the stuck on food even without rinising first.

I bought this dishwasher for my mother, who is elderly and cannot stand for long periods of time hunched over the sink to manually wash dishes.
I like the features this dishwasher offers, such as light, medium, heavy, quick, and loads for newborn/toddler dishes. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this unit also heats the water.
The quick fittings are sturdy & strong. The “nipple” aerator fits standard kitchen faucets as well, and comes with a good amount of rubber washer to prevent any leaks during operation. I also found out that the nipple attachment also works for her apartment-sized laundry machine!
I like the large size dish rack for the unit as well. I have no use for the cup holders, and thankfully you can detach them.
This unit has saved me and my mother much time and effort not having to wash plates, bowls, mugs, glasses, and cutlery. Unfortunately, it will not wash many larger and medium sized pots & pans.
The drain filter is detachable and can be rinsed down. I also like the easy to use soap and rinse aid dispensers. No issues with operating this machine.
Please watch out for the inlet and outlet hoses that attach to the back of the unit – mine came lose after moving the hoses around and it leaked over my countertop. Tightening down those connections at the back of the dishwasher are top priority!
I wrestled over this unit vs. the cheaper danby dishwasher, and settled on this one due to more metal in the construction.
All in all, I feel that the cost versus the product and the benefits are worth every dime spent. Buy with confidence.

Love the unit works great with the money.
Install:
So I did have to raise my cupboard to put the unit on the counter. I knew this before ordering.
I added a second faucet for the hot water as I did t want to give up my larger tap.
It was easy to tie in add a T fitting and 1/2 to 3/8 adaptor for the tap bottom. 3/8 stainless steel exstention hose.
