I'm very impresssed with this little portable dishwasher (which I researched and paid for myself!). I wanted one that top-loaded, that didn't need to be attached to a sink, and that was relatively small. Now that I got this one I am so pleasantly surprised by the real quality and heft it has, plus it works beautifully and is really very quiet! I'm fascinated with the self-filling attachment, which I chose instead of others that have tanks. You just put it on the end of the input hose, stick the end in the bucket, and it fills itself as needed for each cycle.
You do need to master the loading diagram in order to get the max to fit while not blocking the water. My favorite thing is all the high water temps. The last time I got such crystal-clean glassware, I was using a commercial Kitchenaid. My condo only has one space possible for a regular dishwasher and it is a max of 18". The problem with 18-inch dishwashers is that not only are they more expensive than your typical 24-inch dishwasher, but also you cannot get any kind of water heat boost except at the very high end of the price range. The new portable cycles through multiple water temps, and you don't need to run water to get it hot, or use hot water to fill it - at the most basic you can just put cold water in a bucket and it will do the rest.
It's about the size of an old 16" tube television (for anybody old enough to remember those!) and is less than 17" in each dimension, and it weighs less than 27 lbs, so it's manageable (even for somebody like me who is old enough to have had one of those TVs, lol).
I chose this particular form factor - top loading - because I'm playing with the idea of customizing an 18" cabinet with a drawer for it. Also, even on the kitchen counter where it is now, I can leave it open enough to load as I'm passing thru as well as after meals, whereas with a front-loader you need to leave the door down (like a regular dishwasher) to roll out the dish tray to load, which gets in the way and takes up extra room.
As you can tell, I'm already very fond of this little guy. I've had it just under a week and I've been trying a different cycle each day - so far the shortest, the Speed cycle, has gotten everything clean with a lighter-loaded batch, the Normal handled being full very well, and I can't figure out why I would want to use Heavy since you're supposed to rinse off everything first.
If this is just a honeymoon phase and my enthusiasm wears off, I'll update.
