Product review (5 stars): This Dishwasher Has Changed My Life
For Christmas I decided to gift myself a countertop dishwasher. After hours of research I settled on this model, which was selling for $219 at the time.  The package arrived in good condition and right on time. After unboxing everything I opened the dishwasher door and noticed there was some residual water inside from what I can only assume was factory quality testing.

Setup was quick and easy: attach the included hose to the input and drainage ports on the back of the dishwasher, install the faucet adapter, attach the hose to the adapter, turn on the water, select the desired wash program, and push start. An hour or so later dishes will begin to dry by residual heat from the wash cycle.

I'm no longer skipping meals, I'm enjoying cooking for myself, and cleanup is fast and easy. After a long day of work I don't ever come home to a messy kitchen now.

Pros:
* Easy setup
* Fairly quiet operation. It is certainly not as quiet as a new built-in washer, but I find it unobtrusive.
* With a good detergent this SPT Countertop Dishwasher will clean very well.
* Ample space to wash a day's worth of 1 person's dishes.
* Accommodates pots and some pans

Cons:
* The dishwasher door requires a bit of force to open it
* The far corners of the washer don't receive adequate jet spray, so glasses or other items positioned there may not be as thoroughly washed as the rest of the items in the washer.
* Occasionally a detergent tab will get stuck and not fully release. This can be prevented by using a liquid automatic dishwasher soap.

Tips for setup and operation:
* Periodically check the hose connection to the fresh water and drain ports. If the connection becomes lose you could experience a flood. This step is particularly important in homes where the dishwasher is not stationary on the counter and is instead on a rolling cart.
* Be certain that your faucet is turned off before disconnecting the hose.
* Make sure larger food debris is removed before placing dishes in the washer.
* Occasionally check the screen located on the interior bottom of the washer to remove debris.
