Product review (1 stars): LEAKS, leaks, leaks, leaks, leaks and leaks no matter what you do
DO NOT BUY THIS DISHWASHER. IT LEAKS. Yes, I'm shouting. It leaks at least a cup to three cups of water EVERY single time you run it. I've used plumber's tape, Flextape (waterproofing tape) and every plumbing fix I can - short of expoxying the hoses to the connection. Nothing works. I finally built a floor pan out of coroplast and Flextape to contain and drain the water.

CONS:

The hose that comes with it is SHORT. Unless you can literally place this unit next to your sink and hook it up, forget it. I had to search six hardware and plumbing stores before I found one that carried compatible hosing. Then I bought six feet of hosing and splices (which DO NOT LEAK) so I could attach it to the existing hosing to reach my sink from under a counter where I placed the unit so I didn't have to move it back and forth three times a day. Ideally, you find a place near the sink where you can leave it and simply attach the hose.

You'll need to buy an extra fitting to adapt to your sink - figure on an additional $5.99 to $8.99 depending on what kind of sink you have. Get the "quick attach adapter" so you are spending hours screwing the fitting on and off.

While it will clean your dishes, it will only EFFECTIVELY clean 5-6 plates, a couple of glasses, and a handful of silverware at a time. I run it once with just hot water, and a second time with detergent. I bought this for my office. I don't have a kitchen, but do have a small bathroom and sink. I bought this to use for the dishes I use when microwaving etc. - no heavy duty dirty dishes, just something to keep up with lunch dishes, coffee mugs, plates I use for doughnuts, bagels, employee snacks etc. We're not talking "baked on grime," but cereal bowls, crumbs, soup bowls - stuff we basically "heat and eat." So, for light fare - it seems to do okay as long as you don't let stuff sit for days. It does heat its own water, but it seems to run 200% better if you only run hot water from your sink - which we do.

I can't complain and bitch enough about the leaking. Tighten the fittings too much, and you'll break the fittings, and won't be able to find replacement fittings anywhere else as NO PLUMBING supply store in my city, or online, including Amazon, carries them. So, learn to live with the leaks...and I don't mean a few dribbles. This is like 1/2 to 2/3 a CUP of water with each cycle.

I wouldn't be happy if it didn't leak, but I would be okay with the performance otherwise. It takes at least two cycles (have tried every detergent on the market) to get really dirty, or hardened food residue off your dishware. It takes one cycle if you're doing mostly glasses and silverware.

It's better than doing dishes by hand, although lately, I've just been washing mugs and spoons by hand because it takes less time than mopping the floor every time I run it.

WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND THIS POS TO ANYONE.
