Honestly one of the best purchases ever. It fits perfectly on the counter and fits quite a few dishes... cookware and place settings for 4 people at least. Large cutting boards and skillets don't fit, bit it eliminates a large portion of dishes that it makes it 100% worth it. Gets dishes clean, doesn't smell, and puts out a good amount of heat to dry the dishes as well.

Moved into a new house knowing the kitchen didn't have a dishwasher and thought I'd handily manage doing dishes for one.

I must've been delusional.

I hate dishes. I've always hated doing dishes. My contempt for this simple yet necessary task is immeasurable.

Maybe I just didn't want to spend the money for yet another appliance. Who knows.

I snapped back to reality in around two weeks when the poorly-suppressed, deep-seated, vitriolic hatred for washing dishes re-emerged.

Did some research and despite being a no-name appliance, the reviews across the web were generally stellar and the pictures showed construction that seemed above average. Despite the lack of a stainless steel belly pan, I decided to give it a go.

While I can't fit a Dutch oven or a baking sheet larger than quarter size in it, it dutifully handles everything else I throw at it. No joke. Even plates and glasses with stuck on crud sparkle by the end of the cycle.

Thanks to this dishwasher, I no longer dread the inevitable cleanup required after cooking something rather involved.

Sure, I periodically have to run two cycles to get everything out of the sink, but that's a small price to pay for relieving me of an otherwise hateful task.

P.S. "” The included water line and faucet adapter are trash; Do yourself a favor and properly install it to a water line.

A stainless hose, some brass fittings, and a ball valve should suffice. For drainage, I simply routed the hose directly into the sink beside it.

I moved into a basement studio, but I refused to give up on having a dishwasher. Space is at a premium down here, so size was an important factor, but it also had to be able be plumbed under the sink because I don't have a counter it could fit on.

There are plenty of reviews talking about the pros and cons of the dishwasher, so I'll cover that quickly. It works as well as most dishwashers I've owned. I put in a newly baked chunky cauliflower mash, and it cleaned right off. Last night's macaroni and cheese did not. In other words, get the big stuff off, and if it's left out over night, give it a soak before you put it in. It's like any other dishwasher, which is exactly what I hoped for! I also have to mention that I'm impressed with what I can fit in there considering the size. Full size plates and bowls, pots and pans, etc. Lastly, the 45 min clean cycle is really all you need. It does the job, and it's legit only 45 minutes.

Onto the plumbing, since I'm sure I'm not the only one here who was looking for that info. I'll tell you upfront, it was a colossal pain in the rear to find the parts. I probably spent about 4 total hours and $45 buying and exchanging parts. The main problem is your main water line fittings are compression, but the dishwasher hookups on the backside are plain brass fittings. They don't match. So I had to find a way around it....and I did.

***NOTE**** I'm not a professional plumber. Consult one if you want to hook your dishwasher to the main lines since it was NOT designed for this and I'm not qualified to give advice!!!!

Here are the connectors I had to buy to make this work:

You'll notice that one piece is missing from this assembly, and I bought it at a local big box store. I recommend you assemble all these pieces, and bring it to a plumbing shop or big box store. You'll immediately see which piece you need. Be sure to use plumbers tape between fittings so it doesn't leak!

After you get all your fittings assembled, connect it to the the faucet adapter assembly that came with the dishwasher.. The other end of that water line goes on the dishwasher. Make sure you read the directions and put it on the right one. I screwed that up and got an E1 error, which indicated that the dishwasher wasn't getting water (duh!!!). The drain hose will attach to the dishwasher on one end, and you'll need to cut the nut off the other end so you can fix it to the sink drain. The sink drain should have an input for dishwasher drainage. Simply put the hose in the drain hose connector (aka branch connector in one of my links above) and tighten the o-rings.

I hope this helps!

Two things to keep in mind:
1) Make sure you read the directions and plumb it to the hot water line. If you plumb it to the cold water line to take advantage of the built in heating element, it won't clean your dishes AT ALL. You'll be quite disappointed!!
2) The hoses get quite soft due to the hot water, and they're susceptible to kinking. If this happens you'll have water all over your floor. Error 1 for lack of water input or E4 for a leak on the drainage side. Fortunately, this sucker uses less than 3 gallons per wash, so at least your leak should be limited to that if it's on the drain side (like mine was lol). I ended up trimming my drain hose to avoid that happening again.

Lastly, I mounted this under my sink as you can see, and it works perfectly where it's located. I haven't gotten any other errors

So with some quality of life upgrades to our tiny apt, I bought this along with another purchase which has made our lives so much easier.
It came about the time it was scheduled to, but we apparently had an issue with it reading an error all the time. We tried to figure out what the issue was but could not seem to find one on our end after much debating. (Even with this you will see why I still gave it a 5-start in a moment)
My guy is pretty tech savvy but the lack of an issue led us to contact the customer service line. We could not reach them over the weekend, they were closed but we got ahold of them shortly after the week began. For those that worry about these kinds of things, the lady that answered sounded as if she was in the US first off. She had to put through some warranty thing because we had hit the ground running and forgot to do it, but she was happy to do so. It took like a week to get back ahold of her but when I did she looked up our info and told me that the machine had a one-year warranty on it, which I was super happy for. She set everything up for a replacement part (covered by the way) and a technician to come out if we needed it (also covered in the warranty) and we were golden. The part came before the technician scheduled appt and ultimately we did not need the tech because my guy took care of the install but once it was running we did a test load.
The dishes came out sparkling! It looked as if they had been washed by a heavy-duty REGULAR-sized machine! My BF even made the comment "Now that is how you expect dishes to come out of a dishwasher!" (It takes a lot to impress him so that alone impressed me!) And the sound? Well, let's just say that aside from the sound of the expulsion of water into the sink on occasion I totally forget that it is running most of the time! I have to walk in there to make sure it hasn't stopped. When I came home the BF had already been running loads and had told me he fixed the machine and I even asked him "How did it go?" and he replied, "It's running right now," so I had to go into the kitchen just to see the timer still going on the machine.
If you are lucky enough to NOT have a technical issue when you get yours I promise you will not regret it!

If you are considering this countertop dishwasher for purchase, I can attest that you will not go wrong for the money. I recently moved and the new place is quite small now (subsidized housing for the elderly) and so a portable dishwasher was out of the question and even less optimal was the option for a built-in as there was no space to accommodate it.
Upon arrival, you may find water already in your unit. It is not "used" as some imagined, more so the factory actually does a function test before packing it up to ensure that all is well when it arrives. In this way they (hopefully) try to reduce the number of returned units. Good quality control goes a long way in today's economy when many companies try to eliminate this step during manufacture to reduce costs. So yes, your machine was "used" but only to determine if there are any leaks and to be sure it runs.
While it runs, it is quiet (in spite of what others say, it is more quiet than a built-in.) Every load I have done has come out perfect. I am NOT a pre-rinser, and they still come out clean even after dried on. The key is to use a powder dishwasher detergent, not the liquid kind. The reason is the powder takes a little longer to dissolve and hence you actually have some "scrubbing" action to remove stubborn stickies before it completely dissolves (that is many particles of soap become suspended in the water as it is being thrown around, which helps to remove stubborn spots. The pods are ok, but I recommend the loose (box) kind as you should throw a small (very small) portion in the tub for the prewash which does not have the soap dispenser open during that phase of the cycle. In this way the machine can work better to clean your dishes by using the soap to break down food enzymes before it reaches the main wash phase. You can opt to throw a pod into the tub along with the one that gets placed in the dispenser, but I believe that your cost for the detergent will be more in the long run. Do notice that the detergent dispenser has two chambers, use the instruction manual to determine which cycle you will use and then place the soap in the correct chamber. Do not put soap in each chamber, that will be way to much soap for the cycle. Putting in rinse agent in the opposite dispenser can be a bit of a challenge as the instructions do not explain how to know when the dispenser is full. While carefully and slowly pouring in the agent, watch the little sight glass to the right of the cup - when it suddenly turns "dark", the dispenser has had enough. You will get about three runs out of each fill of the rinse agent dispenser. It is important to know that using a rinse agent helps to reduce the lime build-up in hard water areas, so consequently it also will help preserve your machine insides a little longer as well as remove water spots on your dinnerware. Keep in mind that this unit is really not useful for more than a household of two. Keeping the inside water collection screens/cups clean is easy and reasonably comprehensible from the user manual. Again, I am not and do not pre-rinse my dishes yet I find I get satisfactory results.
To install firstly make sure that the unit sits on all of its four feet firmly on the surface or problems may occur after some time, with the unit not remaining "square" can result in leaks down the road. The software will try to determine if there are leaks each time the unit runs a cycle. To connect the water/drain line, remove the aerator (presumably) already present on the end of your faucet. The adapter is included with the machine. It also come with two (2) tiny rubber gaskets stacked on top of each other in the adapter that you will install on the spigot. The adapter should fit both the standard type of faucet aerators mostly used in today's faucets. It features an inside thread and an outside thread for the both common types. On my installation I only had to use one gasket, but you may need the second depending on your kind/brand of faucet.
The other thing about this unit is that there are replacement parts available and a service manual for those of you who want to do your own repairs like myself. We want to keep RIGHT-TO-REPAIR which some manufacturers are trying to take away from us consumers so woo-hoo to this company!
Overall, I am pretty pleased with this purchase as I have a very small place and I absolutely hate to do dishes, especially in a single tub sink and I wanted to keep as much counter space as I could. This a a good compromise.
