Farberware Professional FCD06ABBWHA Compact Portable Countertop Dishwasher with 6 Place Settings and Silverware Basket, LED Display, Energy Star, White

Dishes are one of my least favorite things to do. not to mention "squandering" gallons upon gallons of water People frequently inquire about the presence of a HEATING ELEMENT in this unit. "Don't touch the heating element," says the manual, which also includes descriptions of each cycle, some of which have varying Celsius temperatures. It has to have some kind of heating element, according to a logical person. I'm not sure why they don't market it; perhaps it's because it's a standard in the industry, but I'm not sure. My cheap apartment faucet's water temperature is so finicky, either scalding or ice cold, that when I run the washer, I just keep it in the middle. As far as I'm concerned, this thing works great! There's no way I'd be able to get my dishes to look and feel this clean. Get the powder or gel instead of the pods to save yourself a headache. The pod was still sitting at the bottom of the washer, staring up at me, un-washed, after my first normal cycle. disintegrated It's a good thing I bought a package of a hundred of these. So I just cut them and pour the powder inside the flap and do it that way, which works fine and produces surprisingly little noise. When the pump is on and making noise, as well as when the water sprays into the sink, it can be quite loud for about a half-minute at a time. It's not the water or the washing cycle that I'm referring to when I say "noise," but rather a deep bass-like sound. rumbling; I'm fairly certain it's the water pump, as I previously stated. I just wanted to make it clear in case anyone thinks there's a problem with their unit, there isn't. For me, installation was a breeze; all I had to do was screw it on and connect it with the quick connect; also, this is not a large basket, in my opinion. I find it difficult to believe that they can do a full sink of dishes and still have room. Although, if you have smaller plates, cups, and other items in general, you will be better off, so this may be true. I'll be buying a new dish set in the near future, and I'll be thinking about the size. Also, don't get too worked up about the small "shelves" on which the coffee cups are displayed. Those must be tiny cappuccino cups, because the inside isn't all that big. When I'm finished, I drain as much as I can from the tubes and reel it up like a hose outside before sliding my washer forward and behind it. Ta- daa! Overall, I like this dishwasher, and my cursing has decreased significantly since dinner: **PS. )br>br> If anyone could explain to me how this device keeps water within the pressurized tubes but does not need to expel it every 10 seconds, that would be great! I'm 100% this thing saves a ton of water because you have to leave the faucet on for the entire time you use it, and it only pump water a couple of times So it's clear that it's not always using water, haha. All I'm interested in is how it works, so thank you!.

Since I moved into this apartment five years ago, I haven't had a dishwasher. I am a stay-at-home mom to two young children, ages four and three. Husband rarely comes home from work. Dishes were always piled high in our sink and on our counter. Dishes are always done, and this item has improved my quality of life. My work surfaces are free of debris. I don't have a lot of counter space, but I think it's worth it. I've had it for three months and use it every day, if not twice. It's performing admirably.

It also comes with NO ADAPTERS and NO INSTRUCTIONS on how to proceed if you don't have the correct faucet. br>MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL - This information is conveniently left out of the purchase process in the product descriptions. Why aren't there any diagrams or descriptions of the type of faucet(s) you'll need to operate this white elephant? Worse, many of the reviews emphasize how simple it is to set up. Well, it could be if you have the correct type of faucet. But there's no way I'm going to find out. If I want to keep this, I'll have to hire a plumber to replace the faucet. br>WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEND IT BACK? It would be a nightmare to effectively repack this monster. br>It's also bigger than the photos make it appear.

This dishwasher may be small, but it's a force to be reckoned with. It was simple to set up right out of the box with no tools needed, and everything was simple to hand tighten, which is all most simple plumbing requires. When the loading instructions and diagrams are followed, it cleans the dishes effectively. I used a generic brand of dish pod and had no problems with it on normal and heavy cycles, but they don't dissolve completely on shorter cycles, so avoid pods and opt for powder or gel instead. For the most part, the dishwasher runs quietly; the loudest part of the cycle occurs when the water is discharged. Some additional information that I wish had been included in other reviews:
- The included quick connect is a 15/16 male, which will fit on most standard faucets. If you have a non-standard faucet, or a Moen brand faucet, make sure to order an adapter from Amazon or your local hardware store (no, they don't have them in stock; I checked three different chains!).
- When connecting the hoses, I found it easier to connect the discharge hose first so it wouldn't float around while I connected the inlet hose, which was a little more difficult to connect because it kept cross threading (also, don't have your partner on the phone while trying to connect because you'll just want to throw your phone across the room).
- Even though you can technically use either, using hot water instead of cold water improves overall performance. br>- The owner's manual does say that you should use a rise aid to avoid hard water spots on your dishes, and this dishwasher does have a reservoir for a rinse aid to be dispensed from (a detail that was not clear from the pictures or the listing).

It was QUICK and EASY to assemble, cleans beautifully, and fits perfectly in my small kitchen. It's exactly what I needed! I wash dishes for a family of three (pots and pans in a separate load to save space) and it works just as well as a full-size built-in dishwasher!.
