Product review (5 stars): How to make life easier for a grad student...
Purchased this for my son. Although he claimed to enjoy the "zen" of washing dishes, I suspected that was a load of malarky as his sink and kitchen counter were usually cluttered with dirty dishes. Now he enjoys the zen of additional free time to read, write, relax. This little dishwasher just barely fit under his cabinets, and does consume a good chunk of counter space, but it's definitely worth it. He's had it for nearly a year now and it's still working beautifully. It does an excellent job cleaning and can handle a single guy's daily dishes without a problem. He says he can't imagine not having it now; it's really added to the quality of his apartment life. We did purchase a different set of dishes for him to use on a daily basis because his large square ceramic plates didn't fit as well in the unit as do traditional round plates. The square plates fit...they just take more space and careful arranging. I highly recommend this dishwasher.
