Product review (5 stars): Such a life saver!
This dishwasher saved my life! I live in a 275 sq ft studio loft with literally no counter space, so washing dishes by hand was not an option. I ended up moving my refrigerator to an alternate location and built a "pantry" in its place. I made sure to allocate a shelf space for this dishwasher, which fit perfectly. I have used the dishwasher three times already - I just got it last night - and it has been perfect. I have a female faucet and it seems that it hooked up properly with little to no leakage - its a really old faucet so I don't expect it to be exact. I highly recommend this dishwasher if you have a small apartment with 1-2 people. I was actually able to fit my pots and pans in it, which was surprising since it really only mentions that it fits place settings. I also have to say that it is so incredibly quiet! I remember when I lived at home and always had to turn the tv volume up because the dishwasher was making too much noise -  not the problem here! I forget that it is running sometimes - but you can hear when it drains water out, which isn't a problem at all. I use finish dishwasher tablets and my dishes have been coming out sparkly clean - even when I don't scrub or rinse off the dishes prior to putting them in the dishwasher.

UPDATE: it has been over 4 months and this dishwasher is still running strong! I honestly don't know how I would get my kitchen clean with this dishwasher. I just love it so much! No more hand washing for me!
