Danby DDW611WLED Countertop Dishwasher Review

You probably have enough training done by your mother while growing up to include washing the dishes as you do other household chores. But now that you have grown up and living alone, you actually do not feel like doing all those things anymore.

Pros

The White Danby DDW611WLED Countertop Dishwasher is the ultimate solution to your dishwashing woes!

It does not take much space and fits anywhere easily, having only a single rack with a small side top rack that can fold down for your mugs, so worrying where to put it is not a major problem.

The cutlery tray is also divided and can be easily removed for throwing in some pots. In addition, unlike other dishwashers, it works in silence and does not produce much of a noise. Plus, it is super easy to put back together as well as hook up to the sink.

It saves water too as it only uses about three gallons or 12 liters of hot water each full cycle. It surely is lesser than the amount of water you use to wash dishes without a dishwasher.

The best part is that dishes still come out clean and shiny. That is so worth it with the affordable price it has, together with  full one-year warranty.

In addition, people who are always on the go –  have busy lives and do not have enough time to do household work (even on weekends because they just do not feel like it!) – treat this product as their greatest lifesaver. They get more free time to do other things and have that leisure to read a book, write a blog or just relax.

This dishwasher is definitely what you need to get the job done if you are not used to washing the dishes. All you need to do is put the plates inside the dishwasher and voila! You will have a clean sink in minutes.

Though some plates may not fit well, such as the squared-shaped ones, they often just need to be carefully arranged.

Setting it up is also not a headache as it can be hooked up easily with the plumber tape and connectors that come with it. The cord is long enough too, so you can still plug it in even if your outlet may not be that near.

As a dishwasher, it really does its job of washing dishes not just effectively but quickly as well. The fast cycles even tell you how much water has been used for every cycle as mentioned, you are sure that you are saving water compared to the hand-wash method.

Cons

Some users reported that they received the product with a design problem or defective unit. Its spray arm touches the dish rack, resulting in poor rotation that can only clean one out of six batches of plates.

Even spoons and forks cause quite a problem since if you put them in the utensil basket’s spots near the door, the detergent door will not open properly. It points to a bad design that disappoints the customers.

Others also reported that despite the quick delivery of the package, it already had some damages such as dents on both its backsides, probably the reason why they experienced a high pitch sound coming from the dishwasher (truly loud and noisy!).

The timer seemed to stop counting down too, causing the washing cycle to go on without stopping.

Verdict

Sometimes it really just happens that a certain stock of this product is defective, but in totality, this White Danby Countertop Dishwasher is a really good product that is worth the price!

It really keeps your dishes clean while it sits effortlessly on the countertop, saving much space in your kitchen counter. It saves you money as it conserves energy. This is not just perfect for those who live alone in their apartments but also, and most especially, for all those moms out there who need a little help running the household.

Its quick connect system hooks up effortlessly to any kitchen tap and in no time, the six wash cycles will get your plates and other kitchenware clean and sparkling!
