mr. opinionated –
We bought a house in an area that the tap water is hard. The house does not have a water filtration system and the dishwasher that was here when we bought it did not work and was caked inside with deposits. We decided that replacing it was futile and as our kitchen in this home is fairly small we needed the storage space over a dishwasher.We still wanted the convenience of a dishwasher and a countertop model seemed like our best option. I have to admit that there are pluses and minuses to a unit such as this but I feel the pluses win out in the end. I had back surgery years ago and being bent over the sink washing dishes can get extremely uncomfortable even after a short time. This allows us to load dishes as we use them and then run when full. It is helping us keep up with the dishes and is saving my back the pain of handwashing. Granted, we still must manually wash the larger items that will not fit but it is still much faster to get through the chore with less pain for me.The machine can either be manually filled with water or hooked to the sink with an adapter. We went with the manual fill as the machine is right next to the sink and we just extend our sprayer to the fill point and turn on the water until it is full. It saves us from filling the included pitcher 3 times to wash a load. The machine beeps when full to let you know so you do not overfill it. Room temperature water can be used as the unit has a heater for the water built in. For those that will be hooking directly to the sink, please note the manual states to shut the water off after the load is completed.The drain hose is an ample length so if the machine is not right next to the sink it should still reach as long as you are not placing it too far away. Even at that, the drain hose can be placed into a bucket if the sink is too far. The biggest warning I can think of is that the clamp to hold the drain hose in place on the washer is a bit of a bear to get tightened due to how close it must be to the housing of the machine.We had bought another model before this one that was broken upon receipt. Unpacking the previous one was much more involved than this one. I say this only to note that unboxing and setup was very straight forward and quite simple with the exception of the aforementioned clamp for the drain hose. The manual does not show the precise way to connect the silverware tray and that was a bit of a puzzle for a moment but was easy enough to figure out.The machine is no noisier than a full size machine. I feel it is actually quieter than a full size. It has a good selection of cycles to choose from with the only thing I would like added is to be able to turn the heated dry off on the longer cycles.I would believe the most popular question people have is “How well does it clean dishes?” I have to say it does a really good job. I have purposely put dishes with dried on food in and had most come out sparkling clean. It does miss the odd spot however that is most likely due to me playing tetris to get more in and pretty much being guilty of overloading. I recommend more loads over fuller loads to keep you from rewashing or hand washing items again. In other reviews, people noted that the water from the top was more of a “trickle”. While it is not like the power sprayers in full size machines, it puts out a fair amount of water. It does not cover the entire area which I thought would lead to the upper items in the silverware tray to come out dirty. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it did clean.The only real issue we have had so far is that the second load of dishes came out with a film on them. We are unsure if this was due to the detergent we used, if we used too much or if there was residue from the test run the manufacturer does on the machines. We have not had a repeat of that since that load of dishes. That does remind me that the inside of the machine may be damp. It does warn you of this in the quick start guide and manual.The door is held shut magnetically and does not lock to my knowledge. It holds very tightly and I do not feel it will ever pop open during a load. I actually prefer this as the first machine that we returned was due to the PLASTIC door latch was broken upon receipt. There is no latch on this one to break which in my opinion is a plus.We like the different cycles for the machine and will be using the fruit cycle often. The size is also right for us as well. We have just a hair over 18″ under our cabinets. This machine fits nicely under them with about an inch to spare. The previous machine had incorrect measurements listed and would not fit under our cabinets. I must warn that the machine will not take a dinner plate over 10″ unless laid at an angle.To summarize, we really like the machine as it lessens our daily chore load. It is not an all inclusive solution but augments very well when properly used. It is saving me from an aching back and since it sits on the countertop, loading does not require bending down as a full sized machine requires.If you are in the market for such a machine, I feel this one should be on your final list of choices due to size, features, good performance, ease of use and versatility in placement.

I absolutely love this little dishwasher. It’s been about five months since I bought it, and I run it anywhere from twice a day to once every three days, depending on how many dishes I’m going through. I live alone, so it’s a good size for the number of dirty dishes I usually produce per day.I love the pour spout on the top, and this is the most important feature to me. This means I don’t need to hook up a hose to my kitchen faucet every time I run the dishwasher. Because I don’t need to do that, I can wash handwash-only items or items too big to fit simultaneously to when the dishwasher is running.I’ve never had any technical issues or malfunctions. I do recommend checking that both propellers can spin a full 360 before starting the cycle. However, if you start the cycle and realize one of the propellers is being blocked by a dish, it’s no trouble to stop the cycle, unblock the propeller, and restart the cycle.I’ve never used the dishwasher for fruit or babycare, so no comment on those features. But the normal, glass, and rapid cycles all work well. I’ve been using a liquid detergent on the recommendation of other reviewers here.The air refresh cycle doesn’t do very much, and whether you use it or not, the dishes will probably still be wet when the cycle completes. Easy solution is just to open the door and let things dry that way. I usually run the washer after dinner and then open it up when it’s done before going to bed, and the dishes are dry in the morning.Most of my silverware doesn’t fit into the basket vertically, but laying it in the basket horizontally works great. Larger plates usually need to tilt at a slight angle to fit, but this is not a big deal.Overall, I love this dishwasher. It can’t do all my dishes for me, as I have several dishes that are too big for it or aren’t dishwasher safe. But this cuts down on the day-to-day slog of doing the dishes and it is so much easier to get through what hand wash dishes are left. I also never need to hand wash silverware anymore, which was my least favorite.

HERMOSA PERO MUY PEQUEÑA
ME GUSTÓ! No tengo mucho espacio y buscaba algo pequeño y lindo…y la encontré! Es hermosa!La verdad fue un capricho y estoy feliz aunque debo decir que no es tan útil como esperaba, es pequeña (como la buscaba) pero justamente por eso tiene poca capacidad, hay que practicar mucho la acomodada de los trastes para permitir que todos se laven correctamente, obvio si cocinas no puedes meter ollas y sartenes. Creo que es perfecta para máximo dos personas que sólo recalientan alimentos.Aún así estoy feliz con ella 🙈

Sólo tuve un detalle pero fuera de eso todo bien
El paquete llegó en tiempo y forma. El único problema que tuve fue al inicio y fue lo siguiente, la hélice de abajo se quedaba atorada con una parte de la canastilla. Si ponía la lavavajillas a funcionar sin carga, no se atoraba la hélice. Pero ya que ponía una carga de platos tenía ese problema. Supongo que en la fábrica prueban las lavavajillas sin carga. La verdad es que lo solucioné por mi propia cuenta porque no me parecía lo suficientemente importante como para hacer un reclamo. Y una vez que arreglé ese detalle la lavavajillas ha funcionado perfecto.Update – llevo ya casi 1 año con la lavavajillas, sigue funcionando perfecto y ha sido de mis mejores compras. He visto que algunas personas dicen que tienen fugas de agua, posiblemente esas fugas son por la nivelación, la maquina debe estar bien nivelada y sin inclinaciones. Y se debe usar jabón para lavavajillas, no jabón regular lavatrastes. El jabón para lavavajillas NO HACE ESPUMA o hace muy poca espuma.

Total decepción
Me siento bastante decepcionado con esta compra, tuve que hacer la devolución al siguiente día que me llegó. Venia bien empacada, la abrí, contenía todo lo que venía descrito en el site. Pero cuando la abrí para sacar las cosas, mi primer sorpresa, una pieza rota de rack para cubiertos, no le di importancia, ya que era una pieza pequeña. Después me dispuse a probarla, hice las conexiones de acuerdo al instructivo, metí la cantidad de platos y puse la cantidad de jabón indicados. Cuando la inicie, tardaba 2 horas en lavar esta primer carga, así que la deje y regrese 40 minutos después a ver que estaba pasando, SORPRESA, la mesa donde la puse estaba empapada, chorreando el agua por la puerta delantera, había entre agua y espuma en la mesa y en el piso, así que solo le puse unas toallitas para secar y continuar con el proceso, pensé que era por ser nueva. Después de las 2 horas me hizo un pitido pero varias veces, ya no me gusto la situación, baje a revisar y tenia un error E3… ese error E3 significa que esta dañado un tema del termostato y no calienta el agua para cerrar el ciclo, lo que dice el instructivo es que llame directamente a un reparador. La desconecte, volví a probar, ya no salió el error en la segunda ocasión, después, en una tercer carga probé con los vasos, definitivamente ahí fue el punto donde decidí devolverla, toda la base estaba muy mojada, se salía el agua por varias partes y al final del ciclo, de nuevo, error E3. Una pésima experiencia, no la recomiendo definitivamente, más por que no funciono, fue porque en realidad estaba muy emocionado de comprarla y tenerla pero al final, falló de todo tipo. Lástima, me quedé con un muy mal sabor de boca.

Mix feeling….I returned it for technical problems
Al igual que otros, el segundo día me mostro el error E3, no me lavo los trastes ni los seco y fue todo un desastre. Días después me volvió a mostrar el error E3 con el mismo problema dejando jabón y agua en el interior y esta vez había agua afuera. La termine regresando a la semana.Las veces que funciono bien (no mostro el error) una vez no me seco los trastes y las demás estuvo OK.
