Product review (5 stars): Best investment I made in 2003
I bought mine in 2003 and had absolutely no problems with it.

I'm not sure why others had so many problems with the quick connect, unless Danby has changed it.  All you do is pull down the coupling, er 'bolt-like thing', put it up against the faucet and let the coupling 'bolt' go up.  That connects it tightly to the faucet.  Turn the water on and start the dishwasher.

Once the washer is done, turn the water off.  Press the red button on the quick connect to release water in the hose and then pull down the coupling 'bolt' and take the hose away from the faucet.

Like someone else mentioned, I did find it best to open the door immediately after the washer is finished.  It allows the steam to evaporate and the dishes dry thoroughly.

I've found this machine to clean the dishes better than some big commercial models.
