Product review (5 stars): ... bought our DW and we both think it works great. It came well packed
My husband and I bought our DW and we both think it works great.  It came well packed, no damage of any kind.  It is simple to use.  We use it for all the small items and wash the pots and pans by hand.  I wash the pots and pans each time before using the dishwasher.  It does a great job of cleaning.  My dishes do come out mostly dry after a few minutes of completing its cycle. Only the cups have a little water left on them but this has been true of every DW I have used.  I only need to use one DW gel pack for cleaning even though there is a place for 2 for dirtier loads.  I always rinse off food before the dishes go in it.  There is a tray to empty food particles that may gather during a wash cycle which should be cleaned out each time if needed.  Mine has never needed it.  It is very quiet while running, more so than any other DW I have owned.  Some friends stopped in recently, saw our little DW and all were impressed with it.  They said this is a better size for them too since it may take 2 days for them to have enough dishes to make a load.  The price is more affordable than many other Portable dishwashers that we looked at during out search.  We did not have enough room under our counter or on our countertop so we purchased a small cute, short, white table from Big Lots for $69, removed the short legs and replaced them with sturdy casters. With the DW sitting on the short table it opens at just the right height.  The DW is heavy so you do need a sturdy cart, be sure to check the weight allowance on a cart if you buy one. I think the DW weight is around 49 Lb's and with dishes and water in it you need to allow for more weight. The rack is smaller than a single rack of a typical dishwasher but once I practiced getting my dishes in I am happy with the size of the load.  If you cook a lot this may not be for you but we usually cook 2 times a day and snack so this works great. I love that it heats the water to sanitize the dishes.  When we are finished doing a load we turn off the hot water and empty the hose in the sink.  You need to push the little red button on the white sink nozzle attachment to release the water pressure before detaching the hose.  We then put a small pan on the floor and allow the hose to completely empty into the pan.  This just takes a second and removes all water left in the hose.  It will also sound a buzzer if you turn the DW on with the attached hose but forget to turn on the Hot water.  We did this once and were so glad for this feature.  We would not want to burn out the motor.  I tell my husband almost everyday, " Did I tell you that I love my new dishwasher?" This works for the 2 of us.
