sawzall's Full Review: Haier HDT18PA 17 in. Built-in Dishwasher
Good things do come in small packages. Before purchasing my Haier dishwasher I carefully researched the product then ordered one online from Wal-Mart. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it works and looks exactly like a full-sized dishwasher, only smaller. It stores in a space 18" wide by approximately 22" in height. Mine tucked right under my overhead cabinets with a half inch to spare. It should be noted that it does have enough weight and bulk that it wouldn't be convenient to carry back and forth. If you use a side table the hoses are of generous length.

This is an attractive appliance with a touch-button panel located at the bottom center below the door. The door has a leak-proof seal. There are 3 cycles: Rinse, Regular and Heavy Duty. It also pre-heats the wash water. The drying cycle is not heated but I've found that if my tap water is hot the last rinse leaves enough residual heat to partially dry the dishes.

The unit holds a surprising amount of dishes, even some pots and pans. When finished it beeps six times. If you open the door during a cycle the beeper will sound until the door is securely latched.

It does an excellent job of cleaning the dishes if they are correctly positioned, unless there is an accumulation of dried or baked on food. Pots and baking dishes wash fairly well but better if pre-soaked and placed flat on the rack. The silverware holder takes up some space but is removable if you need more space.

The rack prongs seem oddly configured in one spot but it's a minor inconvenience. The prongs are bendable. Use care with loading so that nothing interferes with rotating washer blades. If something falls through the rack, the whole rack comes out and rolls back in very easily.

After a year of regular use I have had no problems at all. One note: it's advisable to allow cycles to finish rather than interrupting one cycle to start another. If you want to choose a different cycle, unplug the machine for a few minutes and then start over.

With reasonable care this washer should perform reliably for an indefinite time. My Haier portable size dishwasher has performed better than expected and I highly recommend it.
