Customer Reviews for RCA 18 in. White Electronic Portable 120-volt Dishwasher with 3-Cycles with 8 Place Settings Capacity

The only complaint I have with this dishwasher is the door for the detergent. You have to be so careful not to have anything anywhere near it or it won't pop open. Bad design, should slide the side.

Great for 1 or 2 person household. Easy to use and move.

Does a good job washing dishes, but after about three washes it started leaking a little bit. Not a lot, but there shouldn’t be any leaks. Will be returning

Very disappointed to find 3 dings and a wheel that wouldn't turn. Only got $50 taken off

It does a good job cleaning dishes. The drawers slide in and out easily. Runs pretty quietly, aside from the dirty water that gets discarded into the sink. Plastic stays completely wet. I have not found a way to disable the drying feature, thus wasting energy unless you interrupt the cycle (the dishwasher holds water until the drying part is over, so ending it early seems weird). The directions are VERY vague. it's hard to maneuver whether empty or full.

Works great. Surprised by how thin the metal sides are, the gadget to hold the cables is worthlesd

It doesn't dry the dishes.

Small but does a great job and is quieter then I thought it would be!

Only additional thing is maybe suggest sink attachments in case your sink is different/ wrong

Its good for kitchen that permanent option is not available. Doesn’t hold a lot of dishes so two person family is ideal.

Very surprised at by this small dishwasher and it's ability to actually clean your dishes, silverware and glasses without having to go back and rewash anything. Good load capacity too. I highly recommend it

Not wild about having to drain the hoses after running and having to hang the hoses on the back, but I can deal with it. I just keep an old pan to empty them in. But be warned, right after the drying cycle, it tries to empty water out the hose one more time! So keep it hooked up until it beeps! Great little washer for one or two people otherwise! Loving how clean everything thing looks and feels! Nice compact size! Nice selections of cycles too.

So far it works wonderful it’s pretty light so it’s not hard to move around. I only wish the draining tubes were easier to empty after it runs.

did you look at the account. this item was busted up by shippers and did not work right.

Love it. Perfect size for us. Easy to use.

Assembly was easy--my 8 year old granddaughter helped me. We only had to hook the hoses to the back, take off all the tape inside holding the drawers and load it up and plug it up. I love the compact size, fits perfect in my small kitchen. The only thing I don't like is that the hoses are not inside the back. I finally figured out the little snap thing that goes on back was to secure the hoses. Still, it's not always easy dealing with it when I am turning it to the sink. BUT THAT IS SO MINOR compared to having a dishwasher, and it not be me! I've had it now two months and it's been my lifesaver. Great product overall, and I bought it because it was an RCA product. I have had good luck with their stuff.

It’s a good little dishwasher. Scours all burnt on dried out food. Glasses sparkle. The only complaint I have is the instructions to assemble are poor. All components were there but hooking up the hoses to the machine was confusing. The instructions only said to hook them up to the machine. It didn’t say which hose goes to what port. It took a little while to figure them out as the only example was a schematic iso drawing. Even there the hoses were drawn crossing each other. :-|

Love my new machine! Before it got here, I was concerned that it would be small and unable to keep up with the volume of dishes I use: that is not the case. It does everything I need it to do. On a further note, it has an upper and a lower spray arm: some or most compact dishwashers only have one. My dishes are always clean. Thank you RCA.

Great quality portable dishwasher. It's all stainless steel on the interior. The dishes all come out clean and spotless. Very happy with this unit.

It started leaking almost immediately from around a screw right behind the fron caster wheel. The screw was put in wrong and stripped.

I love my RCA dishwasher. Gets my dishes good and clean.

It is an excellent dishwasher. Cleans even seriously dirty dishes.

This a sweet little machine. Does an excellent cleaning job. I have issues with two things: 1) when it's done, you need to empty the hoses or you make a mess. 2)My hose doesn't connect well. It drips water constantly. I can't turn on and leave overnight because it will waste water. I did contact the company, but they told me to go to Home Depot. Home Depot says to contact the company. So waste water will continue.

I needed an 18" portable dishwasher to fit my space but found the cost of the 18" models prohibitive compared to the 24". I was really excited to find this 18" on sale. Then I discovered why it's cheaper.... Overall this portable dishwasher is great, but the hose design is quite flawed. It does not retract into the base but instead hangs outside the back and is attached at the bottom. The laws of physics will not be on your side when it comes time to get all the water out of the hoses. I have had to do some fancy maneuverings with a bucket and the hose on the floor to get all the water out once the cycle is complete. Otherwise the next time I'd go to detach the hose from the back of the unit, water would leak everywhere. (And speaking of the storage clip, the thing never stays on when storing/removing the hose which is frustrating.) Other than these annoyances the unit itself does a great job cleaning dishes, is quiet, and holds a good amount for it's size. But the BLOT is: expect some extra work to drain the water from the hoses after finishing a load of dishes, expect to still have some water leakage from the hoses despite your efforts, and expect the hose clip to detach daily. If you're like me and can live with minor inconveniences to save a few bucks, have at it! If you're looking for perfection, you're better served paying more and avoiding the inevitable complaints.

After the 3rd try we kept the 3rd one. The whole experience was awful. NEVER AGAIN....

Set up quick. Great for our vacation home with limited space. Cleans well!

Just what I was looking for. Smaller in size, fits a bunch of dishes, and cleans perfectly
