from www.walmart.com
like the small size of the appliance so it doesn't take up a lot of room in the kitchen.i do not care for the fact that sometimes, some of the dishes are not dry, they still have water on them.
from www.walmart.com
it doesn't dry well without a "jetdry" type product.
from www.walmart.com
i love this dishwasher!my dishes are spotless and dry.it moves through the kitchen effortlessly.the hook up is fantastic.the true test is when my son eats and doesn't rinse the ketchup or what not
from rmcgarity, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: if you need a portable dishwasher, buy this - a joy to use, it holds an amazing amount, it cleans well and gets things dry, danby customer service is great.
from www.walmart.com
we put a bowl full of dried on cheese dip as well as a plate with dried chocolate from chocolate covered desserts in the dishwasher to see if it would clean them.

we've been using it for 3 weeks and it has gotten everything clean--including dried on food, day old egg yolk, and a goopy baked on dessert pan.

Danby 22 in. DDW396 Free-Standing

$180.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.target.com
i have clear glass dishware and hard well water, so i was a bit worried about this little washer's ability to clean well and dry without hard water spots.
from www.amazon.com
cleans very well i was impressed, i didnt think it would get dried stuck food off my plates but it did.
from www.amazon.com
it uses up counter space, but it's the same counter space that would be used for drying dishes.
from www.amazon.com
it allows the steam to evaporate and the dishes dry thoroughly.
from www.amazon.com
it doesn't have a true drying cycle but it gets dishes hot enough that i'll leave it open when it's done and the dishes dry themselves.

Haier 17 in. HDT18PA Built-in

$254.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
this is a really nice product.it offers two wash cycles, a rinse-and-hold option, and optional drying.
from www.compactappliance.com
it is the only countertop dishwasher i found that has a dry option.
from www.pricegrabber.com
weaknesses: the vented dry button is a joke.
from www.amazon.com
vented drying (push the wash button twice when starting to toggle it on or off) doesnt seem to do anything, but my old dishwasher was the same way.
from www.amazon.com
i don't know why they say the dry cycle is optional, maybe my button is broken, but there is no way to turn it off except to stop it manually.

i will try a drying agent or a different soap to see if that improves.

this machine gets my dishes just plain cleaner than i can washing by hand, and shiny!there's no drying cycle so the dishes are fairly wet when the machine is done.

it's very quiet, offers a number of different settings, cleans well, and dries just fine for me (since i never empty the dishwasher the second it's done).
from "Colleen", www.abt.com
the drying cycle does leave the dishes a tad on the wet side but since i never empty the dishwasher the minute that it is finished, that's not an issue for me.
from "Frank", www.abt.com
it is very quiet as stated in other reviews, the only con is that the dishes don't get dry when using heated dry.

from www.amazon.com
it also used to get so hot, that steam would rise during the drying cycle from the dishwasher.
from www.amazon.com
drying of items takes longer as the heating element is not exposed in the interior.
from www.ajmadison.com
just had it for a while - i will wait to make sure that i am not doing something that causes the diswaher not to dry the dishes.
from www.amazon.com
pros: very quiet, lots of fold-down tines, cleans very well with only a modest amount of cleaning powder, and safely handles plastic ware given the lack of a heated drying cycle.

my only complaint is that even if you select the heated dry, sometimes you have have a couple of water droplets on the dishes and glasses if you open the dishwasher up right after it runs.
