Product review (5 stars): Two to seven gallons a wash?! Try getting inspected for having a washer every time you use/clean a 13-gallon pot! Love!
Technically my building doesn't allow washers - dish or clothes - or dryers, as they pay gas and water. I was told, however, that now I actually use less water. Apparently this thing uses roughly three gallons a wash - less for china/glass setting and a bit more for pots/pans setting. With little dishwasher tabs I found at WalMart for a small dishwasher like this, I haven't had to handwash most of my dishes. I grew up with a dishwasher and moving to a place that didn't allow them was horrible for me - my mom gave me all the cast-iron she couldn't lift any more and one of the pots I use a lot is a 13-gallon round dutch oven. I was getting inspected almost every month for illegal clothes- or dish-washers because of making stew and soup. So when I suddenly started using 40+ less gallons a month I got inspected again - in the middle of a wash! The building management had never heard of something like this, and when I showed them the five-gallon rinse bin in the sink the washer wasn't even filling up(for my cast iron/lead-crystal/fine china family stuff) on a pots/pans cycle they started looking at these things to hand out the info when people asked about dishwashers.

It comes with everything you need to set it up save maybe a wrench - my sink had a cap on the faucet that needed to be unscrewed.

It is rather bulky. I'm currently trying to find a wheeled cart for mine because it needs to be above sink level to clear the hoses unless you detach and drain them every use but I just don't have the room on my very limited counter-space. I also don't feel like risking my back picking this thing up off the floor every time. My window A/C unit weighs about half what this does and I nearly kill myself twice a year setting that up.

Despite the complaining I love this thing and it was worth every bit of money, effort, and time - and every pulled muscle - I paid buying this thing...and getting it up the Victorian apartment-house staircase. Four turns. One floor up. Almost as wide as the stairs.
