It has its drawbacks - as others have mentioned, it's not reliable for really crusty dishes, and you have to hook it up to a faucet with a quick-connect hose, which adds to counter/sink clutter a bit. But overall it worked well, was not a power- or water-hog, and was a great time-saver. I'd also add that we got much more than the year or so of regular service we expected out of it for the price, and on the two occasions when something broke, Danby quickly sent replacement parts, free of charge. Unexpectedly good customer service. My family used a unit nearly identical to that Danby for a few years while living in a small house.

Like a lot of lower-end dishwashers, they can't get rid of the tougher foods. It's important to rinse. That said, they save a LOT of water and a lot of time. It's worth noting that they're significantly larger than a microwave. While they do save a lot of space, you should check the dimensions of the appliance against it's intended space before purchasing. I have one of these, and they’re really quite decent.

I ended up having to do everything by hand anyway, so I'm not sure they're really worth it. Something small seems like the way to go, but maybe the cleaning mechanism is different on this one than on standard size ones?
