Haier HDT18PA Compact Countertop Dishwasher  Product Reviews

"I am bsically happy with this product. I will point out, that it is very imprtant that the water connection be hooked up securely and the cold water on fairly high or all the way. This is my second dishwaher of this type and I believe i burned out hte first one by not turning on the water more than half way whenI ran the appliance. For what it is, it doe a great job, runs quietly and doesn't seem to use a whole lot of energy."

"This dishwasher is terrible - I've gone through 4 in less than a year, and it's broken again. Good when it works, but I've incurred lots of water damage, etc on this. Bad service, bad product."

"The pros are that it really gets your dishes clean and you can really get a lot of dishes in there. The cons are that the heat dry feature really is worthless, as stated in other reviews. I like it, it does a good job. It seems like it will last a long time. You do not need hot water, the heating element gets the water hot fast, just like a coffee maker. The quick release is handy. The huge drawback is that for such a large company, I have no idea why the instruction manual is so pathetic. You basically have to guess your way through it. On the heat dry, just open up the door and let them air dry. They are so hot at that point that they dry pretty quick. Overall, I am happy with this purchase. I hate washing dishes in the sink."
