Product review (4 stars): The strongest setting will work nicely too, but if you left anything to dry ...
it's not as powerful as a standard dishwasher, but if you scrape off your plates properly and don't leave the gunk to dry overnight, regular wash can wash and sanitize as needed. The strongest setting will work nicely too, but if you left anything to dry on your dishes or you don't get the food gunk off property, it will still be there when you're done - this can also happen if you don't place your dishes properly in the dishwasher or if your block the areas where the water distributes across all dishes. it's a lifesaver in a small apt, that's for sure.
