This Dishwasher changed my life! This review may not start well but it ends well. Seriously. If you're considering buying this, please read. It's long, but it may put any doubts about purchasing to rest. (Skip to the chase, buy it. It's awesome.)

I moved into a small apartment after a divorce and went from a built-in soundless Bosch top of the line hooked up to a garbarge disposal so I didn't even need to rinse a dish to, yea. Just a sink. I had to hand-wash dishes. Yuck. I wasn't used to it. They piled up. It was gross. The landlord wouldn't pay to install a built-in (in hindsight why would they?). I wasn't about to pay for a plumber. So like any lazy girl who hates manual work would do, I hit the internet. Omg there's a dishwasher I can sit on my counter and hook up to my kitchen faucet??? And it's only $200 & change??? So-so reviews be damned! What have I got to lose?

Alright, I order it. It comes in. Fits under my cabinet on the counter next to the kitchen sink. All I have to do is screw an adapter into the faucet and screw hoses into the back of the dishwasher. No problem.

It works ok for a couple months. (Just for reference I bought it Feb of 2016). Ok so April / May 2016 the buttons just kinda start blinking and it shuts itself off mid-cycle. I'm like wtf? It's not great to begin with and now - nothing? Aw, Hell no.

I contact the company directly (yes I purchased it directly from the manufacturer through Amazon). The customer service was so good it surprised me. They said it was covered under warranty. At first they told me to ship it back and they'd replace it. I had thrown out the box already. So they shipped me a brand new dishwasher and told me to ship the defective one back in the box the new one came in.

So the new one was amazing! Obviously my original one had some issues... and omg the replacement one worked a million times better!

I am writing this review Feb 2018. I've been using this dishwasher every day for two years now. Not just every day - anywhere from one to three or even four times a day. I've meant to go online and praise it's virtues many, many times. But stuff comes up and I kinda forget. Tonight, I just kinda feel compelled... here's why:

1) I'm doing my taxes. I find this dishwasher receipt from 2016 in my receipt pile from last year. I smile 'cause I had just started washing a load of dishes. With a Cascade Pod. It looked delicious.

2) I remember that I wasn't too impressed at first. Then I remember that my first unit was a lemon. Then I remember that the replacement unit was pretty awesome and that the company was super cool about the whole thing and made the return / replacement pretty easy.

3) I think to myself that this dishwasher makes my every-day chores so much better. I may make it go through three or four cycles a day, but if I had to hand-wash that many dishes I would either 1. Be compelled to purchase paper or plastic plates, cups, and utensils, thereby contributing to the destruction of trees and stuff. (What am I - an animal?) OR 2. I would most likely be compelled to harm my significant-other (or myself) for leaving a sink-full of dishes to manually wash. (And have to deal with wtf ends up in the sink drain thingy?) Yea, no. I've literally physically fought people for lesser offenses.

4) Recently, this handyman guy was sent by my landlord to fix a leak in the bathroom. As he walks through the apartment he sees this beautiful white box sitting on the kitchen counter. "What IS that? Is that a dishwasher??? I'm a plumber. I've never seen anything like that. That is SO COOL!".

Yes. Yes it is. I haven't hand-washed a dish in two years. Every single dish, cup and freaking pot or pan comes out clean. Every. Single. Time. Does it fit as much as my big built-in under the counter dishwasher? Of course not.

But... this dishwasher changed my life. No longer is dishwashing a chore. This freaking thing is hooked up to my tap on my freaking counter and has worked flawlessly for two years now. If you are in an apartment or an RV or just don't have the room or want the expense of installing a built-in dishwasher... buy this. It's pretty awesome. (And if it's not awesome, maybe you got a lemon like my first one. Just contact SPT and they'll make it right).

Disclaimer: I use those pretty Cascade pods for washing dishes; I was not under the influence of any detergents while writing this review.
