Product review (5 stars): Excellent Appliance with Some Minor Flaws
I live in a small studio apartment and the Danby Countertop Dishwasher is one of the best purchases I've made. I hate doing dishes and was thrilled the day my dishwasher arrived. So far, I've found much to like. First, setup was quick and within a few minutes I was ready to run my first batch of dishes. I use Finish Powerball tabs and I recommend this detergent. I also recommend rinsing the dishes before use and they will come out spotless, even on the P3 Rapid Wash, which takes about an hour. Despite its small size, the dishwasher holds quite a bit, provided you get creative with loading. Even though there is no heating element for drying, just open the door at the end of the cycle and plates and glasses will dry shortly. Plastic and silverware will take a hand drying. There are a couple of flaws: the cycles are long: over 2 hours for a couple of them. The silverware basket is small and flimsy. And there are long pauses during the cycle. A readout with time remaining would be nice. But overall I am pleased with this appliance.
