Danby DDW496W 23" Portable Countertop Dishwasher with 4 Cycles and Room For Up To 4 Place Settings  Product Reviews

"I am delighted with this dishwasher. My local appliance store assured me there were no dishwashers of this size and I could have had it a year ago had I only known. Glasses come out perfect without any heating element. Uses very little water and detergent. I recommend it highly. It was not difficult to unpack or install. The instructions were clear."

"My wife just gave me one of these units for Christmas. I think it's great, it sits where our dish rack was, and get the dishes quite clean. Since our hot water tank is three floors below us, the sani-wash feature insures we actually use hot water for our dishes, too. I like this unit a lot. I have just one problem: my dinner plates, while big (10.5"), aren't huge, but they don't easily load into it. I'm writing Danby to see what they say, but I think I'll end up having to modify the loading rack so my dishes both load, and don't interfere with the rotating arm. If your plates are as big as mine, you'll be fine but have trouble loading the machine. If they're bigger than mine, this machine might not be for you."

"I've had my dishwasher for a short period of time, but am very pleased with it. I have a very small apartment kitchen and was sick and tired of doing dishes by hand. This is perfect for a small household. I like that it has a sani-boost option - push the button and it kicks the water up to 160 degrees - so I know my dishes are definately getting clean. I've heard some complaints about this item - that it doesn't hold up over the long term (about one year is what I read on epinions), that it gets the dishes too hot, etc. I can't address the long term issue, but will say yes, the dishes are very hot when the wash cycle is done - but just pop the door open and let them cool a bit if they're too hot to handle. It only has a few wash cycles, and no dry cycle - but my gosh after doing dishes by hand for 3 years I'm just THRILLED with my new dishwasher - it's quiet, efficient and has enough features for the average apartment dweller. AND it's a very compact item - in a small apartment that's a huge plus! I would definately recommend this product, and would definately buy another one if I ever needed to replace it."
