Product review (5 stars): Great little machine!
Very happy with this little machine. While I was initially shocked at the cost of a portable, apartment sized dishwasher, I am happy I made the purchase.

My first impression was the packaging.  The biggest challenge is this item showing up free of damage. There is a concrete block on the bottom for balancing that makes this item extremely heavy. This could make for a very upset UPS driver that is less than cautious about slamming your purchase around. The item came packaged perfectly. There is an outer plain/nondescript box that has Styrofoam all around, then an inner box which is also well padded and protected that has "dishwasher" printed. Unpacking was super easy. I did use a dolly and a neighbors help to get it up the 3 steps into my apartment, but once inside it rolled around easily on its wheels.  Connecting it was a snap! I simply screwed on the faucet adapter to my male threaded faucet. The hose was easy to connect and I ran my first load of dishes quickly. I had to run the "all in one" cycle because I purchased all in one detergent tabs. That cycle is pretty long...close to 2 hours. The cycle length caught me off guard, but I'm happy to ease my workload and get help with dishes. There are shorter 60-90 minute cycles-you just have to use the detergent type that goes into the chamber. The dishes came out sparkling! I had zero problems or leaks. I am very very happy with my purchase and would buy again!
