Product review (3 stars): Better than nothing but a short-lived appliance
This appliance is a personal necessity because it saves so much time and water compared to hand washing.  While I will always make sure I have one, they all seem to be poorly made.  This is now my 4th countertop dishwasher.  All the brands have pretty much the same design, same parts, etc.  I've had a Danby 3 times and my last one, Minea, appears to be out of business.

For this purchase, I compared Danby to the others and reluctantly decided to try them again just because they were the cheapest.  I decided that the cheapest option makes the most sense if it's just going to stop working in a year or two.  The shipment arrived damaged, not from shipping (the box was fine) but the appliance had been packed with a significant dent in the housing.  I sent it back and got another one.  That one arrived with dents as well, both inside and out (pics attached).  I was tired of waiting for shipments so I just kept this one because the dents weren't as bad as the first.  Still, it goes to show that Danby doesn't care much about quality.  You get what you pay for.  I may not use them again for the 5th one.

I wish Minea, maker of my last one, was still around.  Theirs was more expensive but better quality.  It lasted the longest of any I've had and also succeeded in drying dishes where the others fail.  Alas, the market can't support a better made product.  RIP Minea.

Conclusion: Buy one, you'll be happy you did, but don't expect it to last long.  It's a $100/ year disposable appliance.
