Overview
An 18-inch portable dishwasher for kitchens without a built-in hookup, the Danby DDW1805EWP rolls to the sink on caster wheels and connects through a quick-connect faucet adapter. It holds 8 place settings plus a silverware basket.

- Quick-connect faucet adapter
- 8 place setting capacity
- Up to 3.5 gallons of water per wash
Who it's for
Renters, condo owners, and anyone without a dishwasher hookup who wants a real 8-place-setting wash rather than a mini countertop unit. Not for anyone who wants a fixed appliance that never needs reconnecting.
Pros and cons
- Rolls to any sink on caster wheels
- 8 place settings plus a silverware basket
- Energy Star rated with low water use
- Quiet cycle with an end-of-wash beep
- Drain pump has failed within months for some owners
- Hoses hang loosely behind the unit in storage
- Bottom rack is tight for a full set of plates
- Arrives dented for some buyers
Performance notes
The unit uses up to 3.5 gallons per wash across four electronic wash cycles. Owners describe it as effective on daily loads and quiet in operation, though the bottom rack runs tight for a full set of plates and the drain hose needs to be emptied after each cycle.
