SPT 18-Inch Portable Dishwasher, Stainless Steel

So far, well above expectations.... and it's super quiet!
I had a Danby countertop dishwasher that I used for about 4 years and I loved it. I despise doing dishes so these portable dishwashers are a godsend for me as I am still renting and I don't have the option of a conventional built in dishwasher. I ended up getting a new dish set about a year ago, but unfortunantly because the set has square plates, the larger plates did not fit in the countertop. I had to angle them in a weird way and it was just a hassel..... So I finally decided to get a new, bigger dishwasher that I was hoping would be able to accomodate my square plates.

Enter the SPT dishwasher.... I was a little skepticle buying a dishwasher from A) A brand I was not too familiar with, and B) One that did not have any reviews yet. Well, after using it for a few days, I am in love with this thing. It looks great, much better than the old Danby countertop, and it sits at the perfect height with my counters. The power cord and the water hoses having a storage...

I do put the tablets in the door holder when using any other setting. If you need "dry" dishes use the normal setting. If you can crack the door and wait a few minutes the speed setting is just fine. Heavy setting pulled rust off old hand tools using two tablets and vinegar.

* Do: Clean the filter every two weeks or after lots of vegetable matter. A simple rinse in the sink is just fine. Takes about a minute.

* Gray water usage: The discharged soap and water can be used to clean parts that will not fit in the dishwasher. I use the gray water from the dishwasher (by stopping the sink or a 5 gal bucket in the sink) to remove carbon from...

Great little unit
I initially received the wrong color dishwasher but the seller fixed the issue very promptly and was very courteous.

The dishwasher itself is great, it is very quiet and cleans well. The only issue is I wish that some of the prongs were further apart so that we could fit some fatter items into the dishwasher (pot lids etc.). The dishwasher is a great size for our small kitchen, it wheels around well and the stainless steel inside is great. So far there have been no problems!
