Product review (5 stars): Our Danby's Done 1-2 Loads Daily For 5+ Years!
This machine is amazing. My husband and I have the slightly older model, with a dial instead of buttons-- but everything else is exactly the same. Bought it for $300+ (Canadian) and we tell people all the time, it was the best $300 we ever spent, totally worth it, and it saved our marriage. We both HATE doing dishes by hand & we don't have room for a larger portable dishwasher in our small Vancouver apartment.

We've had this "Lil' Danby Countertop Dishwasher That Could" since 2006, and we run *at least* 1 load of dishes EVERY DAY-- often we run up to 3 loads per day. It still works just as great at the day we bought it.

We love this machine and would immediately and happily buy another one in a heartbeat if ours was to die a sudden death. It has worked hard for us on a daily basis for 5 years and we're very grateful.

The outer plastic casing has developed a crack in it, but this does not affect the performance of the machine. The most fragile part to be careful of is the faucet hookup mechanism. Be gentle when unhooking the hose from the tap. On our model the spring popped out, and we had to re-order this replacement part (it was a loooong week while waiting for the replacement piece!) but it was an easy $30 fix, and worth every cent. That was 3 years ago.

No problems have occurred since we learned how to treat our Danby's faucet attachment piece with tender loving care. It washes our dishes daily & gives us more time to cuddle up and watch TV, which is much more fun than getting prune hands. We love our Danby!
