  • Even in NYC, you CAN have a dishwasher!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 2, 2003
    Pros: Lots of features! Stainless steel interior. Cleans dishes very well!
    Cons: Takes up lots of countertop space. Extension hoses are not available.

    Summary: In New York City, apartments with full sized kitchens are rare, let alone those complete with a dishwasher! Since I really hate hand washing dishes, and seemingly always have dirty plates sitting in my sink, I jumped at the opportunity to buy a slightly ... read more

  • The Little Dishwasher that Could

    Mar 28, 2006
    Pros: Washes great, low maintenance
    Cons: need to run multiple loads to wash a lot of big items.

    Summary: I have owned the Danby Counter top dishwasher for just over a year and a quarter, and it has yet to let me down. It features a compact design that is ideal for my small kitchen, and it has more than enough power to clean dishes without pre-rinsing. ... read more

    Sep 30, 2005
    Pros: It does a great job, super easy to install.
    Cons: My unit have been very durable. You just got to clean it often.

    Summary: Been using one for about two years now. A few things: There is used to be some models without the “heater” option, but as far as I can tell, they now all have the heater (sani) option. This is great little unit. These 2nd gen units have a soap ... read more

    Pros: Sturdy, efficient, quiet, high-quality, and compact.
    Cons: None so far.

  • Save your Money-It will only last 1 year

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 7, 2003
    Pros: It cleaned good-while it lasted
    Cons: Not very durable

    Summary: I Purchased this machine because at the time I could not afford the Portable Dishwashers that were made by Whirlpool or Maytag. I now wish that I would have saved a little more and invested in one of them. First off, this machine is very bulky and will ta ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 14, 2003
    Pros: I don't have to wash dishes! Cleans great!
    Cons: Durability is poor

    Summary: This machine really cleans dishes well--just as well as a full size dishwasher--I have absolutely no complaints in that regard! It fits most dish items--even most full size pots and pans (Granted not much other than that if you are washing a large item ... read more

  • I love this dishwasher

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 7, 2003
    Pros: Works great - great time saver. Has sanitizing setting too!
    Cons: lack of soap and rinse holder. Larger than I anticipated when I bought it.

    Summary: This dishwasher works great for one or two people. I can't imagine it for a larger family or household. It washes well and uses very little water if that is a consideration. We are very busy people and I wanted a dishwasher that was easy to load ... read more

  • Never do dishes by hand again!!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 5, 2003
    Pros: Easy to use, easy connection to tap, convenient time saver!
    Cons: A bit noisy, have to do a load after every meal.

    Summary: I really like my Danby dishwasher. It fits under the counters and the little lip in the back (you can see it in the picture) allows it to be pushed right back with out pinching cords or hoses. It does a great job of cleaning the dishes, but I do ... read more

  • how did I live without my Danby?

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 22, 2003
    Pros: works great, has rinse agent compartment and sani-clean option
    Cons: kind of noisy, won't accept plates larger than 10"

    Summary: This washer does a great job of getting my dishes clean. It's tricky loading it up if you have a lot of dishes, and it won't take large items like platters or pots/pans but it will hold 4 place settings just fine. It's easy ... read more

  • Danby countertop dishwasher - not recommended

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 23, 2003
    Pros: Countertop dishwasher
    Cons: Not very durable, not very flexible

    Summary: I bought my Danby countertop dishwasher 7 short months ago. The dishwasher has begun to make a very loud noise when it operates making me wonder if I've paid close to $200 for an appliance that only lasted a little over 6 months? It is still under ... read more

  • you CAN have a dishwasher!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 5, 2002
    Pros: well built, easy to use, cleeeean dishes!
    Cons: big-ish

    Summary: I hate doing dishes and my kitchen was a little bit of a health hazard before I discovered the Danby. I live in a city apartment with a tiny 1930s kitchen and previously thought a dishwasher was out of the question. The Danby is designed for exactly ... read more

  • Best thing since sliced bread

    Nov 15, 2002
    Pros: excellent cleaning power, efficient, quiet
    Cons: tricky hook-up, plastic parts only 30 day warranty,instruction book hard to follow

    Summary: I hooked my Danby up (finally) this evening. The adapter is a little tricky. I actually had to take the aerator, which comes with the hose, off because the water was not passing through the hose fast enough (likely high water pressure) and was spraying ... read more

  • Buy this!

    Nov 3, 2002
    Pros: Uses less water and space than a conventional dishwasher.
    Cons: Still have to clean baked on foods and pots and pans by hand.

    Summary: The Danby countertop dishwasher is an elusive creature rarely advertised. I found it by accident in an Office Depot catalogue and was immediately intrigued. When mentioning it to my co-workers, they informed me that another co-worker in the office ... read more

  • I love my Danby!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 28, 2002
    Pros: Rinse aid dispenser,perfectly clean dishes, never having to hand wash dishes, low water consumption
    Cons: large and noisy

    Summary: I hate washing dishes. I live in an apartment. I shopped for a portable dishwasher. My kitchen is small, so I couldn't have a full sized that hooks to the faucet. I saw a counter top dishwasher that operated on water pressure, but it looked like a ... read more

  • GREAT Compact Dishwasher!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 11, 2002
    Pros: 17" fits under most cabinets, quiet, cleans very well, easy to set up
    Cons: Takes a few uses to get used to loading it properly

    Summary: This was so easy to set up, took only about 15 minutes! The height fits under my cabinets, many other compact models are too tall to fit. Dishes came out very clean, even on the short economy cycle, and dried quickly, even on the convection dry setting. ... read more

  • Danby in wet bar

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 9, 2002
    Pros: stainless interior, uses little space, multiple places to use it
    Cons: water beads remain inside after wash, no light inside to watch thru the window

    Summary: This is a very nice dishwasher for the money. I have mine installed in our wet bar. It is plumbed in under the sink rather than attaching it to the faucet. It does a fine job at cleaning our glassware. The only drawback I have found is that the steam ... read more

  • Clean Dishes!

    Mar 30, 2002
    Pros: Cleans well, portable, competitively priced
    Cons: Still takes up some real estate, need to pre-clean dirty dishes

    Summary: When looking for a portable dishwasher I was faced with limited choices, none of which really looked "serious" - until I saw the Danby. After receiving a really large box on my doorstep, I was relieved to find that it can indeed fit on a countertop, but ... read more
