Product review (5 stars): Best Purchase I've made in the last year!
I always lived in rentals that had all of the lastest appliances, but the last time I moved, I sacrificed my usual demands to get into a place that met my pets' needs.  So, I spent a year washing dishes and hated every minute of it.  A neighbor told me about portables, and I took a look.  I was a little concerned that I wouldn't be happy with the dishwasher, but let me tell you--it's been several months and this is the best purchase I've made in the past year.  It cleans very, very well--works just as well as a new dishwasher that is operating properly.  I can't speak highly enough of it!

I will tell you that I had a little difficulty setting it up initially--I couldn't get the aerator off to install the connector to the sink.  If you are a single woman and have not taken apart a sink before(which was my problem), the trick is to get some pliers and to turn the aerator the opposite direction than you would logicially expect.  My neighbor--another single woman--showed me what I was doing wrong.  Neither the vendor nor the manufacturer were helpful when I ran into problems--I was told to just return the unit.  The directions were also pretty unhelpful.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the unit.  It looks great and works very well too.  If you are on the fence on this and need a dishwasher, I think you'll be pleased with your purchase.
