Product review (5 stars): If you're not a big dummy, you need to buy this machine!
It works, it's awesome, and wow, there are a lot of dummies posting negative reviews! Hey dummies with the leaks, plumbers tape was specifically designed for this issue and is actually mentioned in the instructions.
Tip 1: measure your dishes before buying this machine or buy smaller dishes.
Tip 2: use vinegar as a rinse aid, it works as good as any finish-aid without the carcinogens--there's enough of those in the vinyl tubing and plastic machine parts!
Tip 3: rubber seals do dry out and crack over time so buy a bunch of assorted sizes.
I read one review about a dummy buying a $25 OEM rinse-aid cap instead of just buying a .15-cent rubber seal from a hardware store--what a colossal dummy!
It does smell like new sneakers. Can't have everything.
There's not a whole lot to this machine. It's a box held together with stainless screws, a few plastic moving parts, a pump, a spring or two, a few seals and a solid-state computer that cannot ever get a virus.
It can even be plumbed so there's no crap blocking the sink and no hose draped across your counters.
Unless you're a big dummy, BUY IT!
