Product review (4 stars): Great buy!
Definitely took a chance getting this appliance via UPS. They delivered it upside down. It does have a few very minor dents, but they do not effect the performance at all. It was well packaged in my opinion and worth the risk. Yes, mine also had water spots inside and sand in the box. This product is tested prior to shipment for sale, so water inside just makes sense to me. And since it's made in china, shipping it overseas via boat makes the sand completely normal. Unpacking it was a little difficult, being that I'm a single woman who has back problems, but I got it done eventually once my brother and a friend got it up my basement steps into the kitchen. I've been stalking this dishwasher on Amazon for over a year! It's a discontinued brand, and when it is in stock, it's gone just as quickly. I bought this specific one due to its size. I have a built in space for it under my counter and after the one that was there finally went, this was the only portable dishwasher I could find that would fit in the same space. Although a little smaller than my old one, it fits just as expected. It preformed very well on first use and I had no problems with it at all. The only complaints I have is how long the wash cycles are, and mine seems to have some wheel issues because it does not move smoothly. Being so heavy, I can't exactly check that closer on my own. I do not care for the adapter it uses to hook up to the sink either. Because it's so small, I can't leave it in place for everyday use. The faucet adapter I had for my other dishwasher fit this one perfectly, and I bought it here on Amazon back in 2014.
