Product review (5 stars): Great!
I love this thing. I thought that it would take up too much counter space, but when you think about it really only takes the space that dirty dishes would otherwise occupy, so it's not a loss of counter space at all. As a bonus, you can hide the dirty dishes inside! It's really been amazing not having to wash dishes. Oh, and don't forget the time saved! I'm certain this little wonder is also saving me oil since I don't need to have the hot water on for long periods of time. I use cold water to the machine since it heats up the water anyway and it's not been a problem for me -- dishes still come out super clean. The cycles take 20 minutes longer than what's listed in the manual, but I wonder if that is because i use the cold water. to test, i ran a cycle with hot water and it still took just as long, but that's the only negative i have found. well, i wish the thing was bigger, but it is a countertop dishwasher after all. overall a great buy and it's already paid for itself. If this thing ever breaks, i'll cry. if you're wondering about buying like i was, make sure you read all the reviews people post -- it definitely helped me. and read the reviews for all the various brands since i'm pretty sure that the three or four brands out there are basically the same thing other than the color and what the front of the unit can do (digital readout, more buttons, etc.)  believe me, it's worth it.
