Product review (5 stars): How did I live before?
I live in a tiny house with no diswasher.  One day something snapped and I decided I was tired of doing dishes and I began the search for a portable dishwasher.  I owned a portable dishwasher in the past that worked out well, so this was not really a scary venture for me.  I have no idea why I it took so long for me to get the idea and reinvest.  Now I'm not sure how I lived all this time.  Because it's just me and my son half time, the size is perfect and it holds a surprising amount of dishes.  Obviously it would have to be run more often, but I could see this working out just as well for a "normal" sized family.  It runs quietly.  I do not have to admit that I am pretty anal and I rinse my dishes very well prior to putting them in the diswasher.  Sorry I am not a proper judge of how the dishwasher does with caked on dishes.  However, since I rinse so well, I'm able to use the Light cycle and I am always pleased with the way they come out.  The few unrinsed "testers" that I've put in there have more than passed the test.  In addition to the obvious purpose of cleaning your dishes, the additional counter space is a nice bonus.  The only hair splitting negative that I would give the dishwasher is the fact that the bottom rack doesn't like to stay out.  It always slides back in while trying to load or unload.  My spoon holder that sits next to the stove now doubles dishwasher rack stopper.
