Danby Counter-top Dishwasher with LED screen
Works great so far, cleans dishes well, great utilization of space and good value for money. Did have an error code at the first start up but after troubleshooting everything has been smooth!

      Workhorse! Reliable!
      Amazing little giant. My husband retrofitted it to fit under my 1925 Koehler sink. Bought a little table at IKEA and cut the let’s to the perfect length. I run it 1-2 times a day for our family of 5. Yes I still hand wash all big items like pots, pans, big bowls. But all our other smaller items fit great, it cleans great, is easy to clean the filter and has been a lifesaver.

        Washes good but fitting dishes is the issue
        It seems to work well and it's rather quiet. First load came out mostly clean. The flute glasses weren't hung correctly so they didn't get washed well. And I didn't know that (I think) the machine dries the dishes but there was no indicator this was happening. I thought it was done and I missed the buzz. But I think they're not quite honest about the fit. I see the picture that they have of a six setting load but I don't have a single bowl that will fit the way theirs do. And I severely doubt the tray would fit in the dishwasher with the mugs on the rack. Is there somewhere I could buy the place settings that are in the photo? I live in a small apartment and have to get the dishware that fits the machine instead of the other way around. The size barely a fit and the low noise is necessary due to the thin walls.

          Haven’t had the product long enough to do a proper review. I’ll update once I have used it long enough.

            Great countertop dishwasher for small apartment
            We’ve been using a previous model of this countertop dishwasher for years and we’re so satisfied that now we upgraded to newer model and it’s so worth it

                  No more washing dishes by hand
                  For the first time I moved into an apartment without a dishwasher. Although I live alone I do a lot of cooking, baking, canning, etc... so have many dishes to wash. I just got it yesterday and I'm glad I purchased this. It works exactly as advertised. It was simple to put together and easy to use.

                    So far, so good
                    Really easy to set up - noticed my unit doesn’t have an indicator on the rinse aid compartment though, and the detergent compartment had some buildup inside. I wish there was an option to trim the hose hookup or stow it more easily!

                      Best Self Care Ever!
                      I wish I’d done this 5 years ago when I started looking. I’m so over the moon happy with my new best friend! I’ve run this 6 times in 4 days. I was able to get all my hoses connected tightly with zero issue. The faucet adapter did give me some frustration, but I worked it out and it did fit my older faucet. Is it big? Yes. I used an empty box with close dimensions to give me a good visual, but I do highly recommend measuring. It cleans so well and I’ve washed every dish I can think of. I think it’s pretty quite and once I made a cheat sheet with the cycles & times, it’s beyond simple to work. I even love that it tells you when it’s done.

                        Best Quarantine Purchase Ever!
                        I bought this dishwasher in Sept of 2020 as a quarantine survival gift to myself. I love this thing and it has been a true godsend. I am constantly amazed at what I can fit in it. I weigh out the powdered dish soap as suggested in the manual and have only once had an issue with the dishes coming clean, which was caused by one of the dishes falling down slightly and blocking the arm from spinning.

                            Unbelievably good product
                            I bought this dishwasher 8 years ago and it’s still chugging along. We are a family of 2 plus our dog. I over pack it every day and yet the dishes come out sparking and so hot I have to wait til they cool down to put them away. I’ve never had an appliance that has performed so consistently well and daily. I would highly recommend this unit and when the time comes - if ever - I will replace it with another. Thumbs up Danby!

                              I love my Danby Countertop Dishwasher
                              Use plumbers tape on the kitchen faucet threads and both the water inlet and outlet treads before attaching faucet adapter and the hoses. Soak the hoses in hot tap water for about ten minutes to soften the stiffness in the hoses before attaching to the back of the machines water inlet and outlet. Level the dishwasher front to back and then level it side to side. Make sure to turn on water slowly and have some towels on hand just incase of a leak. I only use the setting at the 12 oclock position because it washes and dries the best. After the wash is complete the machine will beep and the light next to the wash cycle chosen will turn off. Then open the door slightly to release the steam but leaving the door a jar for about one half hour to allow the heat inside to finish drying the dishes.I have been using this model dishwasher for a month and it works like winner. I always use a clean damp soft cloth to wipe down the door and the rubber seal then dry them both before I start the up the dishwasher to remove any dirt or soap residue to insure a good seal. I use the Finish brand detergent pods in the compartment with the 25 marking. I use Finish brand Rinse Agent to insure a Spot Free shine. This model dishwasher does fit regular size dinner plates but only in one area on the right of the silverware holder. The silverware rack and the small shelves are removable if you want to load larger bowls and pans. I read all of the reviews and feel that some of the bad reviews were possilby because the operator errored in the set up or maitenance of the machine. I’m a small woman of 5 feet and managed to put the dishwasher onto the countertop and do all the set up by myself. I feel this was a reasonable task to accomplish and the reward is AWESOME. I regrett not having done this 22 years ago when I bought my house.

                                Love it! Does 12 inch plates, but only if you set the cutlery basket out of the way, and then lean the plates over in the rack a bit. They don't fit straight upright. But once you get the hang of it, it works great. The handle on the cutlery basket was broken from whomever packed the hoses in, but Danby was prompt and easy in replacing the basket, after I sent them a picture. It does a good job of getting everything clean, and is fairly quiet in operation. It was about 1/4 inch to tall to fit under my kitchen cabinets, but I wasn't really planning on doing that anyhow, so not a problem for me. But if that's what you need, be sure to measure closely. The included quick-connect adapter replaced the aerator on the kitchen faucet no problem. The install was easy. I am glad to be done with hand-washing!

                                This dishwasher works well. The dishes are very clean at the end of the cycle! Use of a drying agent, like Jet Dry, is imperative (the manufacturer includes this in the instructions, as well). The dishwasher beeps several times when it is done, so you can turn the faucet to off, which is helpful. There are warning lights if the water is not on all the way, or if you do not have JetDry in the dispenser. It is very easy to hook up and operate. Push the red tab at the end of the wash cycle to release water pressure in the hose. I have also had to tip the hose to drain the excess water out. Leaving it tipped in the sink seems to help. The inside of the dishwasher will stay wet at the end of the cycle (which is apparently normal). I have found it helpful to leave the door shut to let the hot air finish drying the dishes, then crack the door open about 15 or 30 minutes later. Each time I have done this, the inside of the dishwasher dries right away, so it works great! The additional cup rack only holds 8 oz cups (like small tea cups or coffee mugs). It won't stack mugs. The mugs will fit on the bottom rack, but not on the top. The capacity inside is good for a countertop dishwasher, but if you have a large family, you will probably want a bigger model. However, the hose will not fit if you do not have a standard sized faucet aerator. There are several adapters sold at hardware stores, check for aerator adaptor or Danco portable dishwasher adapter. Check your faucet's aerator before buying! A pull down faucet, for instance, might not fit. I had to replace my faucet, but it was worth it to have a dishwasher.

                                The only issue for me has been they only last about two years until it breaks if you use it everyday. In my opinion great value for what they cost. They work great right up to the day they die.

                                I ordered this mini dishwasher online last month, I’ve been loving it ever since. Super easy to set up and take care of. It’s super cute and works hard too. Perfect for 1-2 people. I use it daily.

                                Easy to use, washes very clean. Shipping service was excellent faster cargo, and perfect packaging. Our dinner plate size is 10,3” and it is clearly fit to load inside. You may also load mini cooking pots and frying pans. It has quick connector hoses which is suitable with faucets. It’s a really good dishwasher for 2 people like us, and we loved it. We highly recommend. Thanks HomeDepot and Danby.

                                  I had to search around some speciality plumbing stores to find an adapter to attach to my faucet aerator... but now that that's resolved, the dishwasher works great... i run it every few days with pots/pans and dishes that are more of a pain to clean manually. Performance is similar to a standard dishwasher and this unit effectively dries the dishes when run through a normal cycle.

                                  OK
                                  Functionality is ok. I don't know if i got a used one or if they are all like this but my was wet inside and the exterior of the front door was dirty...The smell was awful when i opened it for the first time, who know how long it was sealed wet in the box.
