Product review (5 stars): The Second One Was A Charm
This dishwasher is the best invention for small kitchens with no room for a portable dishwasher! I was so sick of hand washing dishes and had no idea these existed until about 2 months ago. When I learned about countertop dishwashers I quickly decided I needed to get one. I decided even if it only lasts a year or I am only living in my small apartment for a year, all the time I've spent doing dishes would be well worth it. My boyfriend and I spent hours looks at all of our options and decided the SPT would be the best fit for us. We purchased it and anxiously awaited its arrival.

When it finally arrived we couldn't wait to open it and get it started on our dishes. It was easy to figure out how to put together and easy to use. We ran the first cycle and with no issues whatsoever. A couple days later we ran it again but this time the machine paused in the middle of the cycle and started beeping. We discovered it was an error that meant there was leak. My boyfriend moved the dishwasher and we found a huge puddle of water under the dishwasher. We checked all the hoses and made sure everything was tight then tried to start it again and it began leaking heavily. All we could find was that it was leaking underneath the dishwasher. I contacted the seller I purchased the dishwasher through on Amazon and they contacted the manufacturer. I quickly received a response from Michael with Sunpentown Int'l Inc the very same day. The dishwasher was still under the year warranty so Michael arranged to send me a brand new dishwasher with paid UPS shipping return label for me to send the old one back.

My second dishwasher works GREAT! I am no longer busting my buns washing all my dishes after days of putting them off. I simply start the dishwasher and am able to get other things done. And NO MORE dishwater hands! Yay! There are no leaks at all and my dishes come out looking and feeling cleaner than they ever have.
