LOVE IT!!!,
This dishwasher is absolutely wonderful. Was easy to set up (except be sure to push the washer arm down into place – mine had come out in shipping despite being very well packaged, no biggie). I can’t believe how many dishes fit and get washed so thoroughly in this little thing! It does a perfect job of washing dishes. The hose goes on & off the faucet with ease in 2 seconds using their supplied adaptor. Seems very sturdy and well made. My only complaint was that the instructions tell you to be sure to use dishwasher detergent “with chemicals”. This is ridiculous – you can now purchase natural dishwasher detergent at most health food stores, and the one I am using works like a charm (Seventh Generation Automatic Dishwashing Detergent). My kitchen is tiny but this guy fits perfectly between counter and cupboard. I can’t believe I waited so long to get a dishwasher, what a time saver!!!

|SPT Countertop Dishwasher Model: SD-2201W,
I have had this dishwasher only a week. I am using in it from Walmart – The Great Value Dishwasher Powder and The Great Value Rinse Agent.
This dishwasher appears to be very well made but, as I said I have only had it a week and time will tell how durable it really is.
As for cleaning a large load of dishes this dishwaser does an outstanding job! Does it hold up to six place settings? Everybodys dishes are different and it holds about four and then some for me. For those of you who are wondering if this washer drains the water by gravity or it is pumped out I beleive it is pumped out but, I could not find any documentation on this. Very easy to hookup to you kitchen faucet. Does a great job drying the dishes.
Update 10/26/2011: Dishwaser performs perfectly! Here are some additional thoughts – It says it in the directions that come with the dishwasher but make sure you add your dishwasher powder just befor you start the wash not 2 hours earlier or it will harden.

|A Rare Find,
I have been browsing portable dishwashers for quite some time and debating whether or not it would be worth the investment. Thankfully I trusted the reviews here and gave this countertop dishwasher a try. It was definitely worth every penny. The heavy duty wash takes quite a while, but my dishes come out sparkling. I wanted to put the dishwasher to the test so I put a small beat-up pot of mine in it. The dishwasher did such a good job with my pot that it took off most of the scorching on the bottom. I had a full size dishwasher awhile back that couldn’t do that.
I’m taking off one star because the heavy duty wash setting has quite a few cycles, and it seems to sit for a long time between those cycles.
Special note for those with bad backs / prone to muscle pain: Get help to lift and setup this item! It is large enough to be cumbersome, and heavy enough to cause some strains.

|So far wonderful,
I haven’t had this dishwasher more than a few months so I can’t speak on durability. I live in a small apartment on my own and had never had a dishwasher before. I decided against the countertop models because living in a small space, I really didn’t have any kitchen counterspace to spare anyway; but I figured I did have 18 inches of floor space where I could put this dishwasher and I would be able to use the top of it as a counter. So I figured this would in fact be more space saving than those countertop models which take a lot of counter space. I ended up being right about this at least as far as my apartment is concerned.
Cleans well. I never expected a tiny model like this to clean as as well as some bigger models out there, but it does. I expected to have to pre-rinse everything that went in the machine. Most of the time I find I don’t even have to do that to get a squeeky clean result. But it’s recommended that you do pre-rinse. The wheels are plastic, but they roll easily. The hoses are designed to attach to your faucet so you can store this anywhere and just roll it to the sink when you want to use it. If you want to keep it in the same spot at all times, you better make that spot right next to your sink because the hoses are short. Maybe only 3 feet long. If like me you can’t keep it next to your sink you have to roll it to your sink each time which hasn’t been a problem for me. It comes with a 1 year warranty. The worst thing about this dishwasher is the accompanying manual which is the worst manual on a major appliance I’ve ever seen. It would not answer some of my most basic questions. I spent over an hour trying to figure out where a piece that came with the machine was supposed to go and finally resorted to posting photos of it online to see if anyone could tell me. (it was too late in the day to call Danby customer service). Most people that had dishwashers had no idea what the cone piece was for. Found out that it’s actually a salt dispenser for the dishwashing salt (which I don’t use anyway as my water really isn’t that hard). Other things the manual doesn’t mention: The Red button on the faucet attachment is to release water pressure so that when you add and remove the attachment you don’t get sprayed with water. Also you can remove the metal faucet adapter and attach it to the faucet and leave it there. Your faucet will work same as always and then whenever you want to use the machine you can just pull the plastic ring on the white faucet attachment on the hose downward (exposing the metal dots) to attach it to the faucet adapter already on your sink. Easy Peasy. Before I realized this I was struggling to screw on the metal attachment while it was still connected to the hose as I didn’t know there was a more appropriate way to do it. It makes me nervous when a manufacturing company doesn’t take the time to write a decent manual for their product, but in the end all I cared about was that this thing cleans well and doesn’t take much energy doing it. According to the papers it came with it only costs about 30 bucks a year to operate if you use it 3-4 times a week! My energy bill came with no unpleasant surprises. Since this isn’t a small, cheap item, before buying I spoke (online) with 4 other owners of this model over a period of 2 weeks to see if they had any issues. One person said that their indicator lights didn’t always work right,but all of the owners including him said they were still happy with their purchase 2-3 years later. I use the machine about 3-5 times a week. The strongest cycle takes 3 hours. I let it run right before I go to sleep and I wake in the morning to clean dishes. After contacting a few sellers decided to purchase from ‘Today’s Concept’ because they responded to my questions in a timely manner and were very helpful and not all the sellers even bothered to respond to my questions. I know the sellers are always changing on Amazon, but I was happy with their service so I figured I might as well mention them. I would buy from them again.

|Great size – Great Performance,
I have owned Danby Products before and have never been disappointed. This is a well built machine at a great price. It does have a long cycle but I’ve never had a built in so I don’t really have much to compare it to other than doing by hand. the Normal Wash setting runs about 2.5 hours from start to finish. But it is very quiet compared to what I have heard in friends homes. I live in a small home and my bedroom is right next to the kitchen. I am able to start the washer before I go to bed and not hear a peep. It is like having my own magic elves doing the dishes while I sleep. Of course, nothing is perfect and I will say that the “drying” mechanism doesn’t always mean that I wake up to dry dishes, but it seems that it depends on the dishes. Ceramic type dishes dry very well while plastic seem to be what holds the droplets of water… Also, top rack doesn’t seem to get the benefit of the heat like the bottom rack. Secondly, I’ve read tons of reviews on a variety of websites (competing sellers, nexttag, etc) and a lot of the problems can be avoided by reading the manual, which is not an easy feat since the manual is not all that clear on some things. The number one thing I’ve read is what is the funnel for… well, if you open the machine and pull out the bottom drawer, you will see a great big dial looking thing next to the water arm… that is where you would put water softener salts (if you live in a hard-water area)… Unscrew that cap and the funnel use is obvious. Third, If you don’t think the adapter will fit your faucet, know that the quick-release adapter has threading on inside and out, if your faucet has threads on the outside, just take the big fat washer out of the adapter and you will see the inner threading (don’t forget whenever you work with water, you MUST use thread tape). Now the machine does heat your water but I have an older home and don’t have the strongest water pressure. I alleviate this by turning on both the cold and hot taps full blast and it seems to be working. I will continue to buy Danby products because what the manual doesn’t cover, usually common sense and a little examination of the machine takes care of and I’ve never been disappointed in the quality of workmanship.

|Oh dear god thank you for this machine!!,
Love this machine! LOVE IT. I have been 5 years without a dishwasher and this little thing is perfect for me and my husband.
There are issues. If you don’t have a well you’ll have no clue why there’s a salt reservoir, and with the crappy manual you’ll have to read the reviews that tell you that the white topped, clear middle, screw off cap on the left is where you put salt into the bottom pan. Then you’ll have to learn that the salt you need is only sold in 40 lb bags (minimum) at Home Depot which isn’t a big deal if you are like me and have a well and buy that stuff all the time. For those who are curious look at the user uploaded pictures, I’ve got a bag of pellet salt that you’ll need and my brine tank that needs to be cleaned. X(
EDIT: As of today I have filled the brine tank of the dishwasher to the top and the salt light is off!
As for cleaning, it works, it has a stainless steel interior which will keep it from stinking after a few years of hard labor. Bad side: it takes 3 hours to clean however you can pause the wash and throw something in and let it go again. To pause, just press the start button on the right, the wash will stop and you can open the door. To start again just press the start button, there will be a 5-7 sec lag, don’t be worried.
Of note: the top washer arm isn’t meant for hard cleaning so don’t put a nasty pot up there or it’ll need another go, or you could bite the bullet and clean it yourself you pampered snooty pants.
If you’re single or it’s just you and your partner this is the right machine for you. It can handle a small party for dishes or a good large meal of pots. But if you have 5 kids and a lazy husband who can’t rinse out a cup you’re going to need a built in washer.
Edit: Another issue. There is a shallow dip in the soap dispenser cap for pre-cleaning. I have found that the globules of soap land on my dishes and don’t wash off well. It leave a white residue after the wash is over. It’s easy to remove since it’s only soap but now I put pre-wash soap on the lower part of the door. I’m not sure if that decreases the effectiveness of the pre-wash but it solved the white stain problem.
Edit: I was having an issue with a screeching noise at the beginning of the wash cycle. I thought it was an internal component, a belt or some such. I found later that my lower washer arm is a little loose. Once I detached and re-attached the lower washer arm the noise ceased. It still cleans wonderfully and I have yet to clean the washer arms, but I am very careful to never put dishes in the washer that have large chunks of debris on them.
