Strengths: Very clean dishes, just big enough for two people. Contemporary styling (hey, it's a dishwasher), low price.
Weaknesses: Construction is so-so, wheels are terrible on any non-flat surface, doesn't fit tall plates well.
Summary: In fact, you CAN fit tall plates in this dishwasher, you just have to be a bit creative. A tall plate can fit in the very back and to one side, a total of two. You have to shimmey the drawer in some but it's not tough. Once in, manually spin the sprinkly-thingy and if it spins freely, you're fine.

That said, we've found the dishwasher to outperform even an older built-in we had in a rental. I've had to do a few easy repairs (nothing internal). Once, it was leaking and I noticed that the door wasn't shutting all the way. REmoving the top (two screws) and readjusting the latch took about ten minutes and it was fine! We've used this machine about 3x a week for a year + 1/2 with NO PROBLEMS.

I always use the HEAVY setting to be sure and dishes come out impressively clean. That's the bottom line, after all.

2 Star ReviewLook before you leap!
Strengths: Nice small size. It fit the teeny space I had where nearly all others wouldn't. Nice appearance - inside & out. Easy to hook up.
Weaknesses: REALLY small interior. Does not hold much. Only small plates. Top rack does not dry.
Summary: Well, I needed small & I got small. But don't be fooled by the photo and the fact that they say it holds service for 6! No way! They also claim it will hold 10" plates. This it will NOT do no matter how you try to squeeze them in! They'll go in - but then the arm won't spin & nothing will wash. I also do not like the fact that when you fill the detergent container & close the door, the detergent falls out and runs down the inside of the door. Also, even though I set it to DRY, only the bottom rack really gets dry. Nothing on top has ever dried. I've only used it a few times and it DOES clean the dishes nicely so I'm not totally disappointed. There are only 2 of us, so it will do. I'd only recommend this if it's the only one that will fit the space you have. Otherwise, go for one a bit bigger!

Strengths: portable, easy to install
Weaknesses: you have to move it back after you are done with it
Summary: We went to buy one of the countertop ones (Haier), but when we saw this one, we really liked it and we changed our minds! First of all, this is a portable one and it is very easy to install it. and, it includes almost everything for you to install it to your sink!

strongly recommend!
