After reading hundreds of reviews on countertop dishwashers....
I decided to purchase this one. The height is maybe one inch off from the dimensions listed, so make sure you account for that if you want this to go under a cabinet or something. I purchased this one because of the options. I did not want to have to fiddle with finding attachments to fit my weird sink and I also wanted to still be able to have use of my kitchen sink while I was washing dishes. This one comes with both options. If you choose to plumb it into your sink it has the attachments. If you're like me, then it comes with a jug that you can use to fill the reservoir inside. It takes about 3 or 4 jugs full of cold water (the unit heats the water itself so no need to waste hot water) to fill. The manual was easy to figure out despite a few typos. The unit was basically ready to use out of the box! I did have the slightest bit of cosmetic damage to my unit, probably happened in transit. Nothing too crazy but a small hairline crack in the plastic on one of the corners. It does not affect the operation of the dishwasher. I did a trial run last night to see how effectively it took off some dried gravy on a plate. Most of the gravy came off. I also loaded it with other dishes that were mostly rinsed clean, some with a little tiny bit of spaghetti sauce, etc. I will say it is comparable to a normal sized dishwasher, just like the big ones you still need to make sure you rinse your dishes fairly well before loading it up. The dishes came out really clean. I am really impressed. Even the one half rinsed dish that had a little bit of gravy left on it. If you're like me, and you live in a small apartment (mines only about 560 sq ft.) and you HATE DISHESSSS because your sink is so small that you can't even cook one meal without the kitchen looking like a disaster, then this thing is definitely worth the money. I have run it 2 more times since getting it. I really like it a lot and it seems like it will last a long time. Seems fairly sturdy in construction. I use Cascade powder. It is perfect for one or two people, or for a mini dishwasher in a bar area or boat, man cave, rv, anything like that. I would say it is especially useful in a personal bar, my glasses have come out sparkling clean. The utensil tray is removable to fit dinner plates. I will try to come back and update this review if anything happens, but I am really impressed so far. It's fairly quiet, sounds like a regular ol dishwasher to me lol. I hope this helps!
Update: We still use it multiple times per week and it has held up wonderfully! Buy this thing! I am able to fit most things in except for a few pieces I own. Gosh I love my dishwasher so much~
Updated update: The thing is still working wonderfully. Still love my little dishwasher!
Updated update to the update (12/21/21): the racks are starting to rust but the thing is still kicking and does a great job. I might have to contact the manufacturer about purchasing a possible rack replacement. I love this thing still so much. Yes I could just do the dishes sometimes and it may even be faster but I really like how it dries them and gets really hot and sanitizes the dishes. It's a great little thing. The hairline crack I mentioned before has spread a little more but it's still 100% functioning.
