This little ("little") dishwasher is honestly one of the best purchases I have made this year. It's been such a great addition to the little apartment space. I honestly like it better than any standard-size dishwasher.TL;DR It's an amazing little dishwasher that builds you a good dishwashing habit; with a little bit of work on your end it seamlessly integrates into your nightly routine and you don't have to think about dishes anymore. Pictures are of 2 different loads, and the plumbing I did.So, my apartment space: a finished basement with essentially just a small bar-style sink, not nearly big enough for even just the singular insta-pot inner pot to fit. Washing dishes was always a pain, as they had to be hand washed and often the sink would overflow and splash you pretty good. There wasn't ever enough space for the drying rack, and definitely not enough drying rack to accommodate all the dishes. Lots of precious counter spaced was constantly being used up for still-drying dishes, even the morning after, which again was a major pain.This dishwasher is just the perfect size for two to three people. We run the washer about once a day, and that will cover all the dishes the two of us use with the exception of really big pots and pans (like the insta-pot, rice cooker pot, griddle etc). Typically it'll hold 2-3 10.5" plates (or 4-5 8" plates), 3-4 coffee mugs, 1 or 2 tupperware+lids, tongs, 2 full size kitchen knives, a couple of bowls, and a handful of silverware and misc stuff, all in a single wash. You'll have to play a bit more tetris and take care not to let the dishes stick too far below the rack, but it's very manageable and I'm very rarely finding that I can't fit things in.In terms of physical size, it can seem a bit hefty and boxy - I had to find some filler to get it level across the mini-fridge and the counter top (it half hangs off the counter top). Really though, this dishwasher makes up for the space it takes up with how much it can take and how well it washes. Plus, you can make use of the space on top of the washer itself, so it's not like you really lose the horizontal real estate.Being smaller than a normal dishwasher means you do more frequent and smaller load, which means what dishes you have left over (ie you can't load up) often only take a couple of minutes to hand wash. Because it sits at chest height at the countertop, it's stupendously easy to load, so you don't have to be bending down all the time. Finally, when it's done, there's simply just less to put away, so unloading never takes more than a minute or two.Make sure to use Finish Powerball Quantum for best washing results. I've tried dish pods from Cascade as well, and while they work, results vary and it's about 50/50 whether the pod fully dissolves and actually gets everything clean. The Quantum pods have worked every time and get 95% of everything off. Really hard stuck on stuff, mushed pasta on wet wooden stirring sticks and bad loading are the other 5%, so human error not the machine or the detergent's fault. 9 times out of 10 I just use the regular 1:50 cycle (which is a little misleading, takes maybe 2.5hrs including the dry time), and on lighter load the eco and glass wash cycle work a charm (I've only got the pods on hand, so even the lighter cycles get the full pod power lol)I would also recommend spending the time and money to get at least the inlet line plumbed into a hard line (make sure to plumb it to the cold line!). Without plumbing it hard, you have to use the weird little faucet adapter. It works, but it's awkward and the space it took up in my already tiny sink essentially rendered the sink unusable. The little faucet button is also sprung very hard, so it takes pretty hefty finger effort to open it and get normal sink water flowing. Instead, do the plumbing, and all you have to do is make sure the return line goes into the sink when you run the washer. It's so good!Overall 4/5 stars!The biggest complaint I have is in regards to plumbing it to a hard line; the sink adapter has some obtuse and hard-to-know fittings, so I just cut off the original plastic ones and put in a standard sink faucet barb (been a while since then, but I think it was 3/8"?). Both the inlet and return lines are very stiff, and the inlet is non-removable, so the dishwasher will need some room behind to allow the lines to slowly bend around where they need to go. I wish they both came out of the unit with a 90 degree elbow, but that's a minor gripe.
