I had been hand washing dishes for 3 years in our home when we had a baby finally tore out some cabinets and made room for a dishwasher. I LOVE IT! It’s fits perfectly in my little kitchen and I don’t feel bad running it multiple times a day because it only uses about 4 gallons of water. It dries the dishes really well so I don’t have to use a dish towel to further dry after the cycle is complete. Stock up on rinse aid, it frequently has to be refilled, but I’m happy to purchase for nice dry dishes.
