EdgeStar Silver Portable Countertop Dishwasher  Product Reviews

"I'm considering this item. Can anyone who owns it provide its true dimmensions? LxWxH"

"Works great in my small kitchen until I renovate and install a large one. I like the little window...wash-a-wash-wash. It cleans everything as well as my $450+ valued one at the old house."

"I hate doing dishes. Passionately. So much so that I have been searching rental ads, looking to move to a different house, specifically one that has a dishwashwer. Turns out a better investment was buying the EdgeStar portable dishwasher - purchased in a fit of frustration after using the last clean dish in the house. This little device is amazing. I can't believe how well it cleans even caked-on or sticky, etc. dishes. It also holds my large plates, wine glasses, smaller pots & pans... the only things I have to wash by hand anymore are cookie sheets and large pots/pans. I was able to install it myself, just screwed the attachment onto my sink faucet with no additional hardware needed. (You clip a second hose attachment on/off the screwed-in attachment when you need to use the faucet.) And it's so simple - just put in the soap, clip on the hoses, turn the machine on, turn the water on, and that's it. Only drawbacks (but it still gets 5 stars because it works so well overall): -Installation was a little confusing; I didn't think the directions were clear, and I ended up figuring it out by trial & error. I also had to use some electrical tape to wrap around the screw-in fixture to keep it from leaking at the connection to my faucet. Could be my old faucet hardware that is the problem. -At first, my dishes came out spotty and/or filmy and not that clean. After the first couple washes, I was really disappointed. But then I switched detergents, and it made ALL the difference. Now my dishes come out crystal clear and squeaky clean. I recommend those little combo detergent/rinse agent packets - they work great for me. -It's bigger and heavier than I expected (yes, I read the dimensions, but I have pretty poor visuospatial skills). If you have limited space, make sure to measure carefully because it is much bigger than a microwave (which is how I had kind of pictured it). -The connection to the faucet still isn't great, and for me, a bit of water trickles out and runs down the side of the clip-on attachment while the machine is in use. It is not a lot, and certainly a lot less water than I would use washing a sinkful of dishes otherwise. Again, could be my faucet. All in all, I love this dishwasher more than I ever thought I could love a kitchen appliance. It works brilliantly and has made such a difference in my life. I cook more, my husband and I never argue about the dishwashing chores, and I don't have to move to a new house!"

"EdgeStar Products PO Box 81336 Austin, Texas 78708-1336 Do not buy anything Edgestar. If you have any problems with it they want to send you parts for you to fix, then keep sending the same parts, over and over. I purchased one of there products in April and have yet to use it as of now in July. Today they offered to send me more parts to fix it, or for me to pay for it to be shipped to them for repair. I am the consumer not the repair department why would do I need to keep replacing parts? Now I have to fit the bill to ship it to them, very bad company and customer service. I will never buy anything from this company again and will post everywhere warning other consumers not to as well. "
