Product review (4 stars): A virtual life-saver!
as an army wife having just moved back to the states with a very active 15-month old boy, sometimes getting dishes done was not only last on my list, but almost always undone! This appliance is a life-saver! It's cleaning great, and isn't overly huge (we did have a microwave cart to put it on). Fits a full service for 4 easily, even the big dinner plates with room to spare! Some of my coffee cups had to be relocated to the bottom shelf, but that it ok. Not being able to have the room for a full-size or even a rollinf dishwasher in our tiny kitchen made this dishwasher a must! Can't beat the energy-star label and that it was very simple to install! Granted, I have a portible washing machine so I knew how to do it so install took all of 15 min. All the pieces will need to be securely tightened before use, they are not factory tightened. but it was very easy. The only complaint I hve is we will still have to wash some things by hand, but that is to be expected as this IS a small appliance. It's roughly 1.5x bigger than our 900w emerson microwave, so keep that in mind. It fefanately wouldn't have fit on our counter! Also, make sure you release the water pressure via the red button on the part that attaches to the faucet before you diconnect the machine, it will save you a huge mess! All in all, this is a great buy and so far, I would definately buy one again if i didn't have the room in a future kithen! Worth every penny!
