Summary: BUYER BEWARE OF HAIER!!
Comment: AVOID THIS COMPANY!! My unit arrived broken. Haier customer service was rude & obnoxious. They were completely unapologetic & seemed to go out of their way to be UNHELPFUL. When I finally bullied them into action, they wanted a full week to send out a service man who may or may not have been able to fix it. I spoke to both customer service and corporate, both were extremely rude and entirely useless. What's more, neither one had the decency to so much as apologize. NEVER AGAIN.
This was every internet buyer's nightmare!

Summary: The truth about it! Positives and Negatives.
Comment: Overall it is a great item. However...
The dishwasher says that it is a countertop dishwasher, but it is too tall for the countertop. You will need to buy a kitchen cart in order to have room for it. Make sure that the cart has wheels on it so that you can roll it over to the sink when you would like to do dishes
It says that you have a dry cycle, but you really do not. It is vented dry, which is a fancy way to say air dry. This also means that the inside of the dishwasher always has beads of water throughout it.
It washes the dishes perfectly, but it can be a challenge to fit everything into it.
I have not found any defects. :)
The set up is annoying. This is simply, because the dishwasher does not come with a full set of instructions. The hose will not attach to every sink at first. You do NOT have to buy an extra attachment. Instead there is a piece that you need to remove on the end of the hose, which allows for you to attach it to your sink. The people at Home Depot can explain it better than me. :)
Basically, for the amount of money this is good for a family of 1-2 people. I do not suggest it if you have more than 3 people in your family. If you do not mind buying a kitchen cart, and air/towel drying your dishes... it is a great dishwasher.

Summary: works
Comment: well it works, doesnt get dishes quite as clean as a full size name brand dishwasher, but it does sufficiently clean dishes. the single biggest problem i have had with the dish washer is there is a cover that comes down about 2-3 inches from the top opening that seems to serve no purpose what so ever besides not allowing full size dishes to go in the machine. i solved this problem by cutting it off.

Summary: No more handwashing.... YAH!
Comment: I hate washing dishes!!!!! I live in a tiny studio apartment and had to do dishes in my bathroom sink; I wasted so much water, and it took forever! Plus, the dishes would take forever drying on the counter of my dank little bathroom; it was gross and unsanitary.
I installed the dishwasher using hints from other reviews. I was sure to carefully attach the quick-release adapter, I removed all the tape from the inside, I made sure the washer was level, and i made sure that the hose drained down.
I've had the washer for over three months, and it has worked perfectly with no leaks.
I can fit a ton of dishes in this washer, even small pots and frying pans. I wash my dishes using the normal setting with vented dry and store brand powder dish washing solution. Everything comes out wonderfully clean and mostly dry; I crack the door when the cycle is dry and let them air dry the rest of the way (tupperware usually must be dried by hand).
I have had no problem with smelliness, etc. I usually run the washer everyday, so I guess that keeps it clean.
I can't tell you how great this is! My dishes are much cleaner and more sanitary, and I love not doing dishes!!!! It take 15 seconds to set up the hoses and turn on; less to detach the hoses!
A++++!

Summary: Just AWESOME
Comment: I bought this product used in August 2008 (now November 2008), and have used it at least 1x a day.
I bought it with EXTREME reservations, and didn't expect it to get dishes clean.
I am absolutely AMAZED at how well this dishwasher cleans my dishes.
you do need to use high quality liquid dishwasher soap (the cheap stuff just doesn't work). I also added a jet dry basket, and my dishes are always sparkly clean.
It uses about 4 gallons of water, which is about 1/2 of what I use to wash dishes by hand.
Also, the unit, although small, can hold a fair amount of dishes. It just take careful planning.
If you live in a place, where there is no option for a dishwasher, and you have a little bit of counter space, I'd HIGHLY recommend this.
You may want to get a quick connect hookup for the water from the hardware store.
