These compact, "countertop" dishwashers are a strange beast. They are marketed as a solution for apartment-dwellers who lack space for a full-size dishwasher, but they are HUGE in terms of a countertop appliance, and not really portable given their size and bulk. They are a great option for specific uses such as in a tiny home or an RV, or maybe if you are renting a house without a dishwasher and can't install a full-size model. I purchased mine because I'm only one person and it would take me ages to fill up a regular dishwasher, I didn't want to give up any more storage space than I had to, and I have a bit of a bad back so I can use this without having to bend all the way to the floor to open and close the lip and access the lower rack.
Though it is "plug and play" with the included hose, it's very simple to permanently install. I purchased a universal stainless steel dishwasher hose kit along with the unit for the water input. At Home Depot I purchased a branch tailpiece (see photo) with a 1/2" barbed pipe and a turnbuckle hose clamp. All I had to do is use the hose kit that comes with the dishwasher, cut off the part that connects to the faucet and plug that directly into the part I bought at home depot. It was snug enough I probably didn't need the hose clamp, but added it for good measure.
Why I love this model:
- It holds a ton. I can fit several pots and pans, dishes, glasses, cooking utensils, etc all at the same time. I basically run the thing once a day and it can hold all the cookware and dishes I've used for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- It's higher quality than low-end dishwashers. Lower-end dishwashers of a comparable price are all plastic inside and feel cheap and crappy. For the same price, this dishwasher is steel inside and feels robust and sturdy.
- It's very quiet. Again, low-end dishwashers of a similar price are very loud. You'd have to spend double or triple to get a full-sized dishwasher as quiet as this one.
- It just does everything well. I've been using it every day for two months now and I've never had anything come out that was spotted or cloudy or needed a second washing - and I only give things the quickest of rinses before putting them in.
If you're comparing models of compact dishwashers - just buy this one and be happy, don't agonize over comparing other models. This one is the best.
