The system automatically releases a water softener such that the water and cleaning detergent mix properly to offer the optimal rinse you desire. The result is a glitzy, stain-free rinse.

What do users say about it?
“
I was badly in need of an 18-inch portable dishwasher because my apartment was too small for a full-size dishwasher. I’ve always preferred Bosch appliances but because I could not afford one at that time, I thought of trying this Danby DDW1899WP-1 Portable Dishwasher. At first the price seemed too high for a portable dishwasher but, with time, I’ve seen its worth. The appliance does what it’s meant to do and I can’t complain so far.

This is the best portable dishwasher that I have seen and which I can recommend for use in a family of one or two people. I love the electronic controls and interior stainless steel spray system.

It’s surprising to me that after two years, the dishwasher had problems pumping water. Even so, I enjoyed the moments when it was functional because it served me well.

Cons
What should be improved?
This came with lots of well through out design features. BUT the big problem is that I have to babysit the dishwasher every time I use it. Why? The cycles are LONG and so the hot water cools down in the long fill hose. Because the machine uses so little water, it ends up washing with cold water on the first cycle and then warmish water after that. I have to listen for the water draining in order to make sure that my kitchen faucet is running it’s hottest! So I reprime the hot water from the fill source, but the dishwasher hose is still full of cold water. ARRGGGHHH!
The way to solve this is to have a heater inside the machine! Why didn’t Danby think of that?
Be very careful. Around the inside of the dishwasher is a very sharp edge. Which I unfortunately cut my finger on. And it was a very severe gash.
I called Danby and reported this to their Customer service department. I cannot understand why would this very sharp edge be needed inside of a dishwasher? Is the machine supposed to wash dishes or cut them in half? I mean really. Get your act together Danby.
