LOVE IT!
I love it. It doesn't move around at all. I did not have the counter space to put it on so I had to put in an adjacent stand and it doesn't wiggle it at all. It gets my dishes clean and is rather quiet. I did find it to be heavy for myself to lift but got it done with included back pain. It did start leaking after the 3rd use but I put Teflon tape on the threads of the spouts the hoses screw on and that seems to have fixed the leaking.

The little dishwasher that could
This little dishwasher has all the features of a full size model. Its great for a small apartment and if, like mine, your cabinets are too low to put it on the counter top then it works fine on the floor. It's actually my second one, I bought one in 2005 that just now needed replacing, so that really speaks to the quality. The inside dishrack on the new one has shorter pegs for the cups and things than than older models did, which makes lightweight things like baby cups come loose and turn over inside the machine. Wish I'd kept the old dishrack but I just make sure to wedge the light weight items inbetween the heavier ones and they stay put fine. FYI the shortest wash cycle is 45 mins, which is longer than the older models which had a 30min wash cycle. The digital display on this new one though is great. As is the indicator for when more rinse aid is needed. Overall very pleased with my second Danby dishwasher.

Great LITTLE addition to my kitchen!
Bought our downsizing home about 6 months ago and it didn't have a dishwasher. After moving in, I realized there was no place to add a dishwasher without major renovations or even a place to put a portable dishwasher. I was thought I was stuck washing dishes by hand until I found this countertop dishwasher. At first I didn't want to give up the counter space, but I had lost that space anyway either to clean or dirty dishes. This LITTLE dishwasher is the best thing we have bought for our new home! It is the perfect size for the two of us, cleans dishes a good as our old built-in and the kitchen always looks clean because the sink and/or counters aren't cover with dishes. The only thing I don't like is the fact that, unlike a full size portable, there is no place to store the water hose when not in use. Ordered it online, tracked it during shipment and it arrived a day earlier than was promised.

Great little dishwasher
This dishwasher is doing an excellent job. It has even cleaned egg without prerinsing. It has removed dingy film off of glassware. The pictures say it best.

This product is perfect for me.
I live in a small apartment , and I find that this portable countertop dish washer is absolutely perfect.. It holds most all my dirty dishes, heats the wash water to 150% which is wonderfull as that sanitises the dishes, is very quiet, easy to operate, and the most wonderful applience I have purchased in years. I ordered this product after speaking with a young lady at the customer service desk at our local store in Sheridan, Wyo. She put the order in for me, Had it delivered by UPS to my front door within a week, It took me aproxamately ( 1 ) hour to set it up, put all the fitting,s on , and load it with dishes. Love it.

This dw is a life saver!! Excellent features! Telling everyone!
Mom gave me this dw for my birthday! What a fabulous gift! No more dirty dishes! Being "clean dish" obsessive, I'm extremely pleased with it's performance! I rinse the dishes before loading & open to clean sparkling dishes everytime. It has all the features I wanted. I'm surprised that it isn't noisy. Couldn't be easier to load, operate & easy to clean. Thrilled it came with faucet adapter so ready to use! I have no problem recommending this dw & hope that you enjoy yours too.

Best money I’ve spent lately!
I have used this dishwasher every other day and I love it! I hate doing dishes, and had resorted to using lots of Styrofoam and paper products. This has allowed me to start using my dishes again, and I don't have to dread a sink full of drinking glasses, plates and silverware anymore!

    Very Good For Small Spaces
    I got this as a gift a few Christmases ago. It didn't fit on my countertop, so I put it on a rolling cart and just store it to the side of my kitchen. It holds slightly less than advertised, unless you use smaller than average dishes. I can still fit about a day's worth of two people's dishes in it, and run a second load with pots and pans. It runs fairly quietly, with the loudest parts of the cycle being filling up and draining. My dishes generally come out clean, with minimal pre-rinsing required. As long as large pieces of solid debris are removed, it takes care of the rest. I do add a drop of Dawn if I have a tough mess to clean, which usually does the trick. Overall, it's a good little dishwasher that has served my small household well for the past 2 years.

      great buy and perfect for an apartment
      I bought this product in 2014, Summer, it was on sale at the old price and this time around it was needed. It fit the counter, most counters have a section that fits this model, and all the attachments are included. The noise level is minimal, perhaps not as quiet as the new full size-quiet models, at the price I paid, it was quieter than older model GE full size. Anyway, it will clean very well, wash within two days of deposit into washer and all should be good. For pots and pans, use the setting and yes, you can only fit so few pots and pans, so do two or three loads. You should use pods and be sure to use liquid sparkling additives. There is a prewash and alarm, when it is finished and if you shut the water, and timer delay too.

        Exactly what I had hoped it would be
        After not having a dishwasher for years - this is great! It fits most things (not dinner sized plates). It is fairly quiet and fits on my counter. I gave it 4/5 stars because it doesn't clean 100% (not that I would expect it to) and occasionally the contents are still a bit wet inside when I remove them. I would definitely recommend this product and am glad that I bought it!

        Countertop dishwasher convenient but requires pre-rinse
        Easy to set up and convenient. You must fully rinse all the dried/stuck on food from all dishes or they don't get clean.

        I love this!
        This is very much worth it. It's fairly quiet, and is an easy hook-up. It cleans very well. I like that you can remove parts of the rack to suit what you're washing. It was a little too tall to fit onto my counter, but the cupboards are longer than most. Plastic parts warranty is only 30 days; the arm mechanism was broken when I received it, but the company replaced it quicker than their estimated shipping. No problems otherwise. As someone with chronic illness, it helped save a lot of energy.

        Danby Countertop Dishwasher
        I am disabled lady living alone and in an apartment with no built in dishwasher. Standing up doing dishes has become very difficult for me now so when I saw this online at Home Depot website I knew it would be just thing to put beside my sink. It was fairly easy to set up and I only needed a wrench to get the aerator off the faucet and screw on the hose connector for the in/out water hose. It was packed very well and arrived undamaged. I picked it up at the store and they put it n the back of my Honda Element. You do need two strong people to get it in the house as it is pretty heavy for two ladies. This is making my life much easier and more manageable and I can actually go in there and cook without worrying about the clean up!

              Love, love, love my new dishwasher!
              Easy to install and use. I still have to wash large items, but the time this dishwasher is saving me in the kitchen is priceless! I didn't know about counter top dishwashers until i started looking for a portable model. I am so glad I found it. I use a rolling kitchen cart instead of my counter. I couldn't be happier with this product!

                I need two of these
                This dishwasher works very well and is light enough that if you wanted to start your own after-party, clean-up business, you could easily haul it from place to place. But I think it's highest unsung feature is that it works great in tandem with one just like it stacked on top. Fill one with your dirty dishes, and leave the other empty. You never have to put your dishes in the cupboard again. Take the clean ones out as you need them and when your are done, put them back in the empty one. When it fills up, run it and it repeat the process in reverse. I can't believe I never thought of this before. These devices aren't a just dishwashers. They are cabinets that wash your dishes!

                better cleaning than standard large dishwasher unfortunately fit less dishes, more than enought for 2 people
                about 0.36 KWH per wash which is less than 6 cents using hot tap water.

                countertop dishwasher
                Purchased this fo rmy mother for Christmas. Went to her house to run dishwasher once she got detergent only to find that the detergent dispenser cover lid is broken. I have spoke n to manufacturer who tells me parts are not available. Therefore I will be returning this damaged dishwasher and hopefully can order another one at no additional charge. Unfortunately she no longer has the packaging that the dishwasher came in.

                I love this dishwasher!!
                This dishwasher was the answer to my dirty dish drama! I usually wash on the shortest cycle and it gets the dishes sparkling clean. It takes just a little while to figure out your loading strategy, but if you hate doing dishes as much as I do, you'll figure it out!

                    Works Well for a Small Appliance
                    This dishwasher works great, especially for how small it is. If you are pressed for space and need a dishwasher, I definitely recommend this unit.
