I can’t comment on the hookups that come with it because I installed this “permanently” in my cabinet (I have a pullout faucet). It’s wonderful! Hookup was fairly easy. It’s quite big, so I didn’t like it on the counter but it’s perfect for under the counter. My only complaint is that the silverware holder somehow broke on my first wash. One side of the handle totally snapped which is disappointing. Otherwise, would highly recommend! I probably spent about 50 extra to buy permanent dishwasher hookups but it was well worth it. Size is great for one person.
