Like others I was nervous buying a dishwasher off Amazon; no way it is as good as a "real" dishwasher. I read ALL the reviews and then finally bought it. SO glad I did, it works great! My kitchen is too small for an in-cabinet unit or even one on wheels. This one fits on the countertop where the dish rack sat. And I love that I can run it and still have my faucet.

AIRMSEN Portable Countertop Dishwasher is a great choice for any small kitchen or apartment. It's lightweight and easy to use and it can easily fit on the countertop or in a cupboard. The dishwashing cycles are powerful and efficient. This dishwasher is an ideal option for anyone who wants to save time and energy when washing dishes. Not to mention, it has an affordable price tag that will fit into anyone's budget. I don't know why I didn't buy this 5 years ago when I moved into my apartment that did not have a dishwasher.

****Note For Anyone Experiencing The Following Problem: Upper Spray Arm Not Turning****

So I started experiencing a slight problem about 3-4 months into using the dishwasher. The upper spray arm would stop rotating during the cleaning cycle. I emailed the company and they offered the following remedy:

The most common culprit as to why the upper spray arm isn't moving is that debris has built up within the inner workings of the upper spray arm. To fix this, remove the lower tray of the dishwasher to freely access the upper spray arm. Then remove the upper spray arm by turning the large screw by hand. After it's removed, clean out any debris that has wrapped around the mounting area for the spray arm. This is usually food particles, hair, and other general buildup. Then check the spout nozzles for any blockages. Use a toothpick or a sharp stick to unclog the individual outlets. Then rinse with water to clean out the dirty things in the spouts. Make sure that each outlet is not clogged and re-install the spray arm using the large screw. Please note that the spouts must be facing down. After installation, first manually rotate the spray arm by pushing the upper spray arm with your finger to check whether it runs smoothly. If it runs smoothly, then the problem is solved.

THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ME! Try this remedy first. If you clean up the upper spray arm and it's still not rotating, contact the company directly on the Airmsen website and report the issue using the form on the Contact US page. I hope this helps.

I purchased this one because it had the built in tank (didn't want the hook-ups attached to my faucet). For the cost, I was expecting it to be pretty decent and have not been disappointed yet. I've used all of the modes (except for the baby care one), and they've all worked incredibly well. It's efficient, convenient, and saves me time and water. I use it in a standard, single-family home since my kitchen doesn't have a dishwasher. I imagine it would be great for apartments, RVs, etc.

Some things to note before buying:
1. MEASURE YOUR SPACE. Yes, it's a countertop appliance, but make sure it will fit. I have lower cabinets, and it definitely fits, but I could see it being a tight fit in other kitchens.
2. Probably not suitable for more than a 2-person household unless you plan on running it more than once per day. It definitely holds more than I thought it would, but I live alone so it's great for me.
3. Don't forget to use actual dishwasher detergent!

It took me like 6 months to make a decision so if you're on the fence like I was, I can say this is very much worth the $$.

Best quality of life improvement I've made since moving to Guam, where my and most apartments don't come with a dish washer.
My dishes come out looking brand new now, I waste way less water, my hands don't get all dried out, it's also a time saver and now I'm being more adventurous making food because I don't have to worry about filling my sink with dishes. My first use of the machine came out with water spots, my water is super hard. I used the green Cascade liquid when that happened. I went back to the store and bought those platinum pods and now my dishes are crystal clear. The dishes are also nice and hot and pretty much dry at the end of the last rinse cycle, so I usually skip the drying cycle. I hope it serves me well for time to come.

I am so happy that I purchased this, it has made life a little easier. At first I was going to return it because I thought it was defective, the top arm would stop spinning in the beginning of the initial cycle , but later I found out that this is a normal occurrence, the top arm will spin when you first start the machine, but will stop for about 40 -50 seconds and the start spinning for the rest of the wash cycle. I think it may be building water pressure, not sure , but it is not defective when this happens. I love it , use it twice a day and the dishes come out so clean. Highly recommend, saves water as well and my kitchen has never been cleaner.
