Product review (5 stars): Excellent product, some handy information here
Before I bought this product, I had many doubts and it was hard to find this information. I waited 2 months of daily use to give this review, to be sure about the product, and here is the information that I will clarify for you:

* 1) Size of the dishes
* 2) How does it drain?
* 3) Type of detergent

I had to check all this, because I didn't have the necessary conditions to have the dishwasher. For starters, it didn't fit under my counter-top, and my university (I live in the campus residences) doesn't allow us to make changes to the furniture instalments. Hereare the adaptations I made, and I got to tell you that the dishwasher is an excellent product. It leaves everything so clean, dry and I don't have to waste my time washing dishes any more.

1) First I had a Corelle dinnerware with squared dishes (the model is called bamboo leaf, if it is any reference to anybody). Well, they didn't fit right in the dishwasher. I had do lean them over a bit and leave one space free between every plate, which made me use the double of the space and if the plate was too near the detergent dispenser, sometimes it wouldn't open properly and it will make a mess. So, in the end, I changed the dinnerware and bought another Corelle with round plates and it worked perfectly (I bought it for $20 in a great sale of Walmart)! the dishes fit neatly and I can wash the whole set in one go, and it leaves enough free space for glasses and some other dishes (the model of the dinnerware that I bought is the 'Corelle livingware squared 16-pc dinnerware set', which has rounded plates, and the size description is: Squared 16-Piece Set includes 4 each: 10-1/4" Dinner Plates, 6-3/4" Bread & Butter Plates, 18-oz Soup / Cereal Bowls, 11-oz Stoneware Mugs.

2) To drain it has a pump inside. This was important for me because the dishwasher didn't fit under my counter-top, so I bought a small table with wheels and put the dishwasher there. So, My counter-top has the same original free space, which is great, and I only move the table once a day to plug the dishwasher to the kitchen's faucet (it is super easy to connect because it has a very convenient adapter, so you plug it and unplug it in less than 5 seconds), and the rest of the time the table is in a free space in my kitchen next to a wall. The important thing here is that the draining is done trough a pump, so it doesn't matter that the table is about 15 cm lower than the sink, it always drains properly.

3) The type of detergent is VERY important. This dishwasher doesn't heat water as much as others, for which it is very important to buy a detergent that works at temperatures of 50C (122 F). I first bought a gel cheap detergent and didn't read that it worked for temperatures over 60C, and the dishes came out a bit dirty. So, in the end I bought the 'Finish Quantum tablets' and it leaves the dishes sparkling clean! they come out perfect and bright, and I haven't pre-washed any of my dishes ever! I only take out big pieces of leftovers, put the dishes inside, and that's about it. Although, I have to mention this: I had to make a small adaptation, because the tablets are a bit big to fit in the dispenser, so I broke the small plastic that divided the two sections of the detergent dispenser so that the tablet fitted and could come out comfortably.

I really love this product, and I recommend it to anybody!
