Overview
An 18-inch portable dishwasher rated for 8 place settings with 6 wash programs, an LED display, and a stainless steel tub. It connects to a kitchen faucet through a Quick Connect hose rather than permanent plumbing, and is ENERGY STAR certified.
It's aimed at apartments and small kitchens without built-in hookups. Cleaning performance draws consistent praise, but a meaningful share of reviews describe part or reliability problems after purchase.
- 8 place setting capacity
- 6 wash programs including Rapid and Eco
- Stainless steel tub, ENERGY STAR certified
- Quick Connect faucet hookup, no plumbing needed
Who it's for
Good for renters or small-kitchen households wanting a dishwasher without installation. Not for anyone wanting a fully built-in unit with no risk of hookup issues.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Many buyers said it washes well for a small kitchen once hooked up, though some needed a different faucet adapter than the one included. Complaints centered on parts and reliability: one buyer never received a missing hose hook despite repeated contact with the company, another saw a small leak at the back, and one reported repeated E4 errors and overflow issues after months of use.
