    The number one reviewed portable dishwasher performed perfectly. There are no cleaning issues at all. Everything is spotless. The only things needing a quick drying are made of plastic but the SPT has turned a 45 minute job into a 5 minute job. My back starts to hurt when I stand in one place for very long but the SPT has cleaned that issue as well. I highly recommend and compliment SPT on a job well done.

    Good dishwasher for a small kitchen

    My biggest problem with the dishwasher was that it arrived with a dent in the door . I called customer service and they weren't able to ship another door . My only option was to pack it up and drive it to Best Buy to return. That was more of a headache then it was worth so I am using it with the dent but am not happy. As far as the dishwasher, it's hard to fit some items like glasses in but we knew it was going to be small so we expected some inconvenience. I might recommend the dishwasher if someone needed a compact one but I wouldn't recommend getting it from Best Buy.

    Excellent Cleaning Dishwasher, Very Quiet!

    I highly recommend this SPT dishwasher, I own it and bought it with my own money, so my opinion is unbiased and truthful. This dishwasher is extremely quiet and has cleaned all my dishes perfectly and spotless. All my dishes fit easily and I was nicely surprised to find how much you can fit inside. I use Corelle dishes and I can wash a full service for 8 (plus more) easily in one load. I love the timer countdown feature and the chime that plays when the dishwasher is finished. It's also the only washer I could find that matches all my other Stainless Steel and black trimmed appliances, but I highly recommend it for much more than it's appearance. The manual is easy to read, you get a dish loading chart with pictures (nice for newbies) and detailed pre-wash, wash, rinse and dry times and temperatures as well as the time it will take to complete each of the six cycles offered. My previous 18" portable dishwasher was 8 years old (was white exterior so replaced with the new stainless steel appliances I bought here at Best Buy) and even back then cost more than this SPT, but it didn't have as many features, nor did it wash as well as this dishwasher. The quality of the build is very good and the stainless steel interior is better than a lot of the higher priced standard sized washers I've seen. I also love the Adjustable top rack with flip down holders for stemware or to use as a small shelf. The racks are a high quality, very sturdy and the taupe color rack coating feels soft and thick to protect fine dishes. I really love the bottom shelf has two flip down dish guides (See pics) for when you want to wash a larger bowl or pots and pans, very useful. All together I highly recommend this great dishwasher and can I say again how Quiet it is! I've included pics of the interior as they were almost none existent online, so I hope that helps. Any questions I'd be glad to answer them. Thanks

    Cleans the dishes better than my bigger portable. The soap pellets work much better than the liquid soap - liquid always seaps out onto a few of the dishes creating messy stuck on gunk i need to hand wash off anyway. Only thing I wish were different is the 2 hr long wash cycle. but, it's really quiet, so running it at night before going to bed is the work around. Make sure you have a good fitting washer and plumbing tape, our attachment to the faucet leaks pretty badly.

    One year later, I am still happy with this purchase! I generally use the speed cycle because it takes an hour, instead of the normal cycle which takes closer to 2, and it cleans very well. Great for my kitchen and kept me from having to have a dishwasher plumbed in.

    I bought a small house with a tiny kitchen and no dishwasher and I hated it. I bought this one for the smallness to fit in my tiny kitchen. I love it!! It is just me and my teenage son, and I can fit 4 days worth of dishes in there. The slots to hold the plates are perfect. It rolls easily to the sink and everything hooks up nicely. The dishes come out nice and clean.

    This is a great dishwasher for a small house. I have an older home without cabinet space for a dishwasher and this dishwasher was ideal for me. This dishwasher is quieter than my mothers built in .

    I was hesitant about getting a portable dishwasher. Even more so about getting a brand like SPT, which i'd never heard of. We recently moved into a small house house which had no dishwasher. At first we thought "no worries, wash by hand"... after nearly a year, we'd had enough. This little guy is absolutely perfect for the three of us. At 18" wide and 36" tall, it fits anywhere we need. Our dishes come out spotless. It's not noisy at all. We typically set it up to run at night while we sleep. Doesn't ever wake us. My only regret is not getting it sooner!

    Smaller internal capacity in terms of the number of dishes that I can wash at once compared to my previous 18"-class dishwashers, but it does a good job of cleaning the dishes and it is extremely quiet! Even most built-in models make more noise

    My family rented a small house a year ago that did not have a built-in dishwasher. After a year of doing dishes by hand, we decided that a portable dishwasher might be a good investment, and are we glad we did. This thing making cooking so much easier without the daunting feeling of having to hand wash every thing you are getting dirty. It holds quite a few dishes and even a few small pots. Silverware caddy is a huge bonus. We were worried on how portable it really was going to be, but it does not take much effort to wheel this around with a full load, pull out the hoses, attach it, turn it on and forget about it. The only negative thing I could say about this is drying is a minor issue. I normally just crack the door open after it is done and leave it open over night. Do not let the ability to dry turn you away from this great product, it does a great job cleaning and the instructions are quite clear and helpful. I strongly recommend this to anyone that lives in small house/apartment and is tired of doing the dishes.

    This dishwasher is great for small kitchens. It does a decent job washing as only a few dishes need to be rewashed. It is so much better than not having it and hand washing everything.

    This dishwasher is working perfectly. It looks small inside and I was worried about that but it really holds a lot more than I thought. Everything I have put in it so far has come out spotless. If there is a drawback (and I knew about it in advance thanks to prior reviews) there is no heated dry. Rinse agent is a big help but at times you still need to pat dry a dish or two.

    Quiet, convenient, easy to roll around. Heavy as heck, but it feels solid and sturdy. Holds plenty of items inside with some maneuvering available of dividers, etc. Like that the hose recoils back into the machine. Would buy again and/ or recommend without hesitation. It takes two hours on the "normal" cycle, which is the only reason I knocked it to four stars.

    We needed a mobile dishwasher with a faucet adapter for our rental house....This is light, quiet, and does a pretty good job for as cheap as it is....Be sure to open door afterwards to let dishes properly dry...Sometimes have to hand-tighten where the hoses connect to faucet adapter....But other than that there are no problems! It works with both female and male threaded faucets.

    A dish washer that washes dishes

    If you like me cannot fit the 24" washer in your home then this does a competent job of washing but has no drying feature. I wanted the 24" whirlpool but it was 3/4" too big to fit. The first time I used it my hot water was off so I only had cold water and the dish washer heated the water up to about 100 degrees. Impressive but nowhere near as hot as I want my dish water to be. So make sure you have hot water turned on, let your hot water heater do it's job and let the dish washer well wash dishes. I have not had any problems with leaking so that is good to note. It is super quiet too. Sometimes the wheels spin freely and easily, other times the wheels feel locked up and drag making it difficult for this healthy, strong 40 yr old to move. So someone less... hmm physically robust may struggle big time.
