Product review (5 stars): If you're on the fence, get this!
This has helped alleviate the time associated with this chore. You REALLY don't have to pre-scrub the dishes, although I do prerinse if there is a lot of crud on the surface.

Don't expect to be able to wash big pots and pans with this- There just isn't room. Having said that, it works great.

Highly recommend.
