We use little detergent pods from Costco, and Jet Dry rinse agent, and it does a good job

this portable dishwasher!!!!!It does an excellent job of washing dishes, pot, utensils etc

It is NOT a large dishwasher but it does the job very well for me

This dish washer gets to work and does a superb job for what you pay

This is the best buy around, this little dishwasher is a gem

We purchased this unit the first time from Best Buy and it was DOA

BUY THISThis changed our lives for the better, we are in a decent sized apartment in Chicago with little counter space in the kitchen and NO dishwasher

Although the size of the unit limits the size of plates and other dishes to be washed, I am very happy with the dishwasher

I used to have an awesome expensive full-size General Electric dishwasher before I moved to a smaller place

With 4 of us here, it's just the right size to keep up the dishes by running a load at night

It’s the right size for the counter, and when used with Cascade Complete or Platinum, dishes, pots, and glasses come out clean

The program indicator area is difficult to figure out and most loads work best with the default setting or the one that's a bit longer time.

At this point, I have given Danby by email everything they have asked for but I still do not have a working dishwasher or a refund.

Later loads with the hot water off were just as good - the internal heater works like a charm

This is roomy and works beautifully period completely easy to set up once I figure it out that you can attach it to the sink with a quick attach piece either on the outside or the inside of the threading

Important note: The dishwasher stopped working in July 2019

If there was a way to give this product negative stars, I would do it.

Runs great, easy to install, and cleans good. great product for the price.

It's a startling thing when you have a decent product produced by a manufacturer, and you purchase their newer model which is obviously inferior

Package appeared ok, but product was clearly mishandled at some point.

Warning to all Amazon shoppers - Do not buy this product.

This dish washer gets to work and does a superb job for what you pay

Mostly you can hear when the water is draining as it is coming out at high pressure

If you get hard water stains inside, you can run an empty washer with some white vinegar instead of detergent to further clean it.

No need to rinse dishes before putting in just scrape of any food and this little powerful washer will do the job

The washer is fairly decent - as long as you have your dishes well rinsed.

I now wish we would have repaired that one, because none of the current models are anywhere near as good as that thing was

The only thing negative was there a slight leak at the connection to the

This is probably the best thing I've ever bought from Amazon.

There were two small things wrong at first

Now the only thing I found I didn't like were the little shelves that were meant for coffee cups

but it's a pointless machine if you have more than 1 adult and a toddler you're doing dishes for because of the size

What an awesome little machine!It hooked up to my sink easily

Mostly you can hear when the water is draining as it is coming out at high pressure

Not only did this little machine break down after less than 3 weeks, but Danby's customer service is the worst I have ever had the misfortune to deal with.

Ive only had this dishwasher for 2 months, and have discovered a major design flaw: if the spray arm is obstructed (like if something falls down into the basin by mistake, or the edge of a bowl dips below the tray slightly), the machine will continue to complete its cycle without stopping from the error

Unfortunately it did not work as it had an internal leak and had to be returned

I LOVE my Danby!

Danby is the best to buy.

The dishes came out steamy hot and clean as can be

Our old Danby from 2004 was an 18" portable and sounded like a thunderstorm

It works well and leaves my dishes clean and mush more sterile than hand-washing

Love that it’s so easy to use, cleans my dishes well and is quiet

The cycle will continue, and your dishes will still be filthy at the end

For clean dishes, you don't want food remnants staying in the filters.

Usually our dirty dishes consist mostly of cups & glasses

I placed hooks on the cart housing to hang the cord and hoses when not in use

The one drawback to this product that unique to me was that the intake and drain water hoses were not long enough.

A little cumbersome as hose needs to drain down to floor level (we have to use a bucket) after disconnecting after a cycle

Seems to be an internal pump failure, as there is good water pressure from the faucet and the hoses are clear (not blocked or kinked).KEY

For the first couple of times, you'll need to remember to drain the hoses or water will flow right onto the floor

when we started it there was a horrible grinding sound

it's amplified to be a disturbing sound.

It empties very large amounts of water in spurts extremely fast resulting in very loud splat sounds into your sink.

(However, I expect he will quickly get used it and learn to ignore the sound the way he learned to ignore car doors slamming when we first moved in).3
