Product review (5 stars): In a household of 1 or 2, this is more convenient than a large built-in.
I bought this when my built-in regular-sized dishwasher conked out.  I live alone, I work; therefore, a smaller unit is better suited to my needs.  And with a portable unit, I don't have to worry about the dangers of frozen pipes, plumbers, and expensive replacement costs for a regular  large-sized machine.  (I plan to remove it later, and right now I'm using the crapped out large unit for storing pots and pans in the interim! It is now a cupboard!)  Set-up on this smaller _ and portable_ machine was no problem at all; the machine is quiet and easy to operate.  I don't put my pots and pans in it, but all my cups utensils and plates fit just fine. What I do with the pots is rub them with a brillo pad, and then I sit them in my sink basin, where the run-off from all of the cycles of the portable dishwasher that's taking care of the regular dishes rinses off the pots and pans placed in the basin and underneath the faucet - and voila, one quick rinse afterwards with a sprayer of the pots and pans outside of the dishwasher, done manually after all is said and done, and the pots and pans as well as the other dishes are all easily taken care of.  Anyway, works great for me.  And I can't believe how quiet this machine is.  The dishes washed in the machine are spotless and gleaming. By the way, the machine was packaged very well.  Lots of smash-proof insulation.
