Product review (4 stars): Danby DDW611WLED
I have owned this dishwasher for a few days now. Overall I like it more than I dislike it. First I will explain the negatives I have experienced so far. First of all the aerator faucet adapter, the metal part that screws onto the faucet, was defective out of the box. It has a small pinhole in the side of it and water leaks/sprays out during the whole dishwasher cycle, wasting probably an extra two to three gallons of water. I have wrote to Danby customer service to see if they will send me a new one. Next is the timer on the unit. It doesn't seem to be accurate. It was on 35 minutes and I was cooking something to eat. About 10 minutes later I looked at the unit and it still said 00:35. I went to the living room to watch TV for a while and went back to check it again and it was only down to 00:33 after an additional 10-15 minutes. One last thing is that it feels much more cheaply made compared to the DDW496W I used to have and doesn't have the window that that unit had. I sold that unit, but then missed it, so I bought this one. For positives, it has a nice-sized basket for spoons, forks and knives. It's done a pretty decent job on the dishes I have washed so far. It does seem a little difficult to open. I usually open it by prying it open with my fingers on the very top. It doesn't use a pull handle to release the latch, but instead it stays closed with a latch similar to some cabinet doors, where you just pull them back open. Overall I like this dishwasher, especially since I live in an apartment and don't have room for a full size unit. I would recommend this product to a friend.
