Danby DDW396 22 in. Portable Dishwasher

Pros: Low water usage. Spotless dishes. Automatic dispensers. Detergent lasts forever. Quieter than a microwave.
Cons: Multiple loads to do all dishes. I hear they don't last long as other dishwashers

It was my turn to do dishes. I really HATE washing dishes. Especially living with 2 roommates they tend to pile up quick. Just my luck, every dish in the house was dirty. I remembered seeing a tiny dishwasher at Wal-Mart, and without a second thought, I ...

Pros: Great price, quiet, small, holds lots of dishes, easy hookup, attractive, very convenient!
Cons: Few dishes may come out dirty; no beep to alert you at the end.

I got this dishwasher a couple of months ago and I love it! It's SO nice not to hand-wash a lot of dishes now, especially with my dry, chapped, winter-time hands. I just HATE washing dishes and couldn't stand it anymore - especially when I discovered ...

Pros: Fits on a counter, cleans well, minimal cost, uses little water
Cons: Takes up counter space, little loud

Sure, washing dishes is not that difficult. However, finding the time is another story. Also, I am clean-freak on the molecular level. Thus, my reasoning for spending money on what some of my friends consider a non-vital appliance. I've owned this ...

Pros: Nice cleaning action, stainless interior, pretty light for its size
Cons: Window in door not really necessary, remember to tighten inlet and outlet hoses

Having read the previous reviews on Epinions, I decided that a countertop dishwasher would be perfect for me, too. I ordered mine from Etronics and five days later the box arrived and I unpacked it to find the most wonderful appliance I have yet ...

Pros: Relevant Cycle Options, Functional Design, Powerful cleaning, Sanitizing Mode
Cons: Length of hookup cords (power and water), sticky guide rollers.

get one of these in your kitchen! I had minimal expectations for a compact dishwasher, but I was really impressed by the effectiveness and available options on this unit. My mother's very expensive dishwasher doesn't get her dishes as clean, as ...

Pros: Works great, looks good, quiet, GETS THE JOB DONE SO I DON'T HAVE TO!
Cons: Don't misuse it with laundry soap -- use dish powder and avoid leaks!

Only AFTER a house full of relatives left town, post-summer-visit, did it occur to me to get a dishwasher for my pre WW2 house. There just isn't enough space for a conventional portable (that you wheel around the floor), so I started looking for the ...

Pros: Takes up little space, runs quietly, saves me from having to do dirty dishes!
Cons: Hose hanger on back of unit is not practical and not necessary.

So far I have been very pleased with my dishwasher. It really does clean dishes well. It runs quietly and cannot be heard outside of the kitchen. The faucet adapter works fine -- you just screw it onto your existing faucet and then hook the ...

Pros: Does the job. Takes up little room. Uses very little detergent.
Cons: Hose is always in sink, doesn't retract, has leaks.

I love it. It was very easy to set up, everything needed was included. The hose has a quick connect/disconnect adapter inluded. I HATE to handwash dishes, I am single working girl who, in the past, used paper plates to avoid the nasty task of ...

Pros: Quiet, saves water/energy, cleans well, reasonably priced, good customer service.
Cons: instruction manual not very clear sometimes regarding certain issues, rinse agent dispenser not working (?)

I bought my Danby dishwasher back in April of 2005. It has been a great appliance so far! I use it approximately 2 or 3 times a week. With clever and careful placement, you can actually wash saucepans and skillets in the dishwasher, too. The ...

Pros: Makes quick work of the dishes - and its nice to get that Squeeky clean.
Cons: Standard config is hard to load dishes window option unit is not worth the money

Update - April 2008: We have replaced the door twice now. The first replacement lasted for quite a while, but it finally started leaking at the window. I had ordered a "spare" replacement door last time because they were so inexpensive, and this time I ...

Pros: it worked great at first
Cons: leaks like a sieve after less than 10 months

Please read all of the reviews before considering this product. I bought this unit because there is absolutely no way or room for a portable or built in unit in my studio apartment. A countertop model was my only choice. First, if you follow the ...

Pros: Saves a man from performing domestic labor. EXTREMELY Reliable.
Cons: Thermonuclear containment gear required to extract flatware upon cycle completion.

My wife is a United States Marine. When she was deployed to Iraq in January of 2003, I was involuntarily thrust back into a life of cleaning for myself. Having grown accustomed to a military cleaning routine, the only places I found myself lacking were ...

Pros: Great when it works.
Cons: Unreliable, in shop waiting for parts.

This dishwasher is good when it works (just don't put terribly crusty/heavily soiled dishes in - it will clean a reasonable amount of food off but not an excessive amount, especially if food is cooked on). It does work better than every built-in D/W ...

Pros: - Cleans well - Saves water, detergent and space
Cons: - Timer gets stuck - durability issues - Can't have too many food particles

I've had my Danby for under a year. It does a good job of cleaning the dishes, surprisingly even on cooked on pasta. However it doesn't clean as well when there are are many food particles in the wash. This is because there is only one spray arm ...

Pros: Great cleaning job, low water/detergent use
Cons: Durability, hoses laying around on counter

I'm on my 3rd Danby countertop dishwasher. I love the dishwasher when it works, but the durability isn't that great. On the positive side, the dishwasher does a great job cleaning dishes. I never really have to pre-rinse dishes. What's ...
