Product review (3 stars): Not energy saving for me.
I purchased this Portable Countertop Dishwasher; it arrived quite quickly, within days; I was impressed.  However, after it arrived, we discovered that it needed an adapter to connect with my faucet. Once my son picked up the part, and installed the dishwasher.  We discovered problems; the first issue was in loading my dinner plates; I tried to load the dishes as the diagram suggested, but they DID NOT fit. My plates were too large, and in order for them to fit, I had to put them in another part of the dish rack and at an angle, in order for them to fit at all. The diagram shows that the dishes should stand upright, but if I placed them as directed, the rack WILL NOT slide into the dishwasher! (One would assume that a dishwasher would accommodate any size dinner plate, even a serving platter, this one DOES NOT!)

Anyway, I had to find another way to get the dishes to fit, in addition to using another part of the rack, and pacing them at an angle, I had to leave a space between each plate. Without a space the water cannot spray up between the plates and clean them.  This change means that the dishwasher holds fewer dishes per load; this wasted space results in my having to do TWO loads, rather than ONE!

The second issue that I ran into is that the handles of my flatware are too large to fit in the utensil basket.  The basket has slots designed to hold the flatware apart, the holes are too small, even the largest.  I had to remove the slotted top, and loosely load in the flatware; I have to put less flatware inside because if I loaded too much it sticks together and doesn't come clean.  These two issues prevent me from filling the dishwasher, and effectively or efficiently using the machine. It is NOT an energy saving device, when I can only load half of a load.

The third and final issue is the wire dish rack has a lot of large slots in the bottom. With all of the rearranging that I have to do in an effort to get the dishes to fit and come clean, these large openings leaves space for things to fall through. Some of the openings are about 3 1/2 x 3  inches, making it a challenge to work around them, get things to fit; prevent them falling through; setting level and preventing them from falling sideways, and filling with water.

These issues are frustrating and disappointing for me; it is impossible save on water and electricity by running a full load, because I cant run a full load. It is NOT ENERGY SAVING for me, since I am washing TWO LOADS for every ONE LOAD. I live alone, so when just doing a load for me, I try to make do. The manual says that this unit should fit a service for SIX; I am lucky if I can get it to fit in a service for FOUR. I had a dinner party for five; I had to wash two loads to clean-up.

I considered returning this dishwasher because it doesnt hold a full load. But after thinking about the time I spent trying to find a counter top dishwasher; the time it would take to re-pack and return it; the return shipping that Id have to pay, and the money that Id lose in doing so; and finally, the fact that I am visually impaired, and I really need a dishwasher; I decided to keep it, at least for now.
