Danby portable Dishwasher 1 year UPDATE

[@neematktm]

Excellent review, I've never found such honest and detailed review for this model. I had been in dilemma about pots and pans fitting in. But this is the only review that demonstrated it can fit it. Great job.. Way to go..

[@stphndrn]

Thank you!! Thats why I do it to help out🥰

Thank you! I have researched and researched...my main concern was placing pots and pans in a counter top washer, FINALLY! You helped me make up my mind after weeks and weeks of indecisiveness!

[@stphndrn]

Ohh your welcome! I really love it...I just moved and I have a regular one...and I really hate bending over to put stuff in it... im trying to serif I can install it in my new place

I just ordered a countertop smaller dishwasher and I’m just kind of scouring KZbin to see if there are more surveys or overviews of a portable dishwasher, And I THANK You for the insight🥳🥳🥳

[@stphndrn]

Your welcome! best decision I ever made!

[@GreatJim54]

Thank you! Our under counter dishwasher quit on us and my wife chose to wash our dishes by hand rather than get another full size dishwasher. I’ve been wondering how well the countertop units do and how well they hold up. You are the first I’ve found to do a one year follow up. Good job with explaining everything important. I believe you answered all the questions I had.

[@stphndrn]

Thank you! That's why I do it...lol

[@HeyMySock]

Thanks for the review! I'm glad to see that pots can actually go in there, too!

[@stphndrn]

Your welcome 😉 that's why do it...

[@iwrk]

I prefer to use 1 tablespoon of Cascade Complete Powder. Works like a charm, less chance of gel eventually gumming up the unit. Also, it has better bleaching and enzyme effect because the components are in a dry state.

[@doloresleyva8810]

Cascade Platinum dishwasher detergent will never let you down in these machines. You dont need any other product as dishes come out sparkling clean and smell fresh every time with no spots. The only maintenance needed is running a quick cycle and adding half a cup of vinegar every month or so and the filter is easily cleaned with hot tap water and vinegar. No extra is needed for these machines. Believe me. A pod can be cut with scissors in half and then added to the machine to avoid it getting stuck. Always use Cascade Platinum and I dont recommend using hot water to fill because the unit heats up to its specifications and starting with hot tap water can damage the dishwasher in the longrun.

[@gia9551]

I just bought one and I’m about to do my first wash load. It’s nice to see such a recent review and it’s also a year update! It can handle not rinsing dishes?! Omg. This shit is gonna change my life.

Thank u!

[@f8881f]

Hi Stephanie, it's very kind of you to review the dishwasher in detail. However, if you could just let me know the inner dimensions of the washing space, it would be greatly helpful to me. In the video, you have already measured the depth, but what about the inner height (means effective height after putting the strainer). The thing is that I need to buy this one but I want to be able to wash 10 inch X 10 inch X 10 inch (l x b x h) pot in it, otherwise the dishwasher won't be useful for me. Unfortunately, no where on the internet I could find the inner dimensions, not even in the online manual. Thank you in advance.

[@stphndrn]

Hii, I thought I did...check video once more, or perhaps ask me differently cause I don't think I understand the question 😅....thanks!

[@f8881f]

Hi @@stphndrn, thank you so much for your reply and I'm sorry for not being very clear in my question. I was requesting about sharing with me all the inner dimensions of the dishwasher, like length, breadth and height. In your video, you measured only the depth (at 13:59 in the video). But, never mind now, I enquired it through other resources. Thanks anyways 😀.

Great review saw your first awile ago so appreciate the follow up. Thinking of getting the silver one with the digital display. I do have a question, what size plates can fit. I have 10 inch plates. I know you put a wok in there but had to place it flat down. But just need to know what size plates can fit in the actual designated plate holder section of the machine. Thank you.

[@stphndrn]

Thanks! 10 inch plates might be a snug fit...lol I measured one round plate i have and its 9.75 inch so almost ten, and its snug but it does fit Standing i dont have to tilt. But its not a full 10 inch... check out my instagram ill post a picture for you.

[@christinasmith384]

I have watched your video and it was so helpful. Mine will turn on but won’t start can you help?

[@stphndrn]

Ofcourse! The first thing to know is that the water needs to be on for the entire cycle, it won't pull water unless it needs it, but you have to leave it on. Then make sure there's no obstruction on the bottom and that everything fits good and its not overcrowded. Make sure to lock everything and that the lights turn on. Let me know if this helps...

Would you do a review of the finish cleaner you do yearly if possible

I was wondering, can you still drink tap water from your faucet as you would normally? I’m asking this since it looks like the dirty water coming from the dishwasher is connected there. Thanks

[@stphndrn]

Yeah u can disconnect it... super easy... I still filter my water with my Britta especially now that I love in Florida

[@arfunder]

Hello. Thank you for the video and, btw, you look gorgeous. I am thinking about buying one and I have seen some videos and models but none speak about the salt. My mom has one of those built-in (the big ones) and she has to fill it with salt from time to time (apart of the other liquid, of course). Does these dishwashers need it? If yes, where is the opening for the salt deposit? Thank you

[@stphndrn]

No, this one doesn't have any salt opening, I do not know if the rinse aid has salt in it tho, because it does have a rinse aid opening. And rinse aid is a must! Thanks for the compliment 🙈❤☺

[@arfunder]

@@stphndrn ok, amazing. Then it does not need salt. About overcrowding the place. The thing works shooting pressurised hot water. Two days ago, we place in my mother's dishwasher two oven trays, two pots and all dishes and stuff. You can place some glasses under that wok. The water will hit the wok and run along its interior because, at the end, it is a bowl. That way you can save some space. In sum, I always place the huge stuff on smaller things like dishes (they are vertically placed, so water runs between them) or glasses (they are circles, so there is space between them). I think I will buy one! Thank you very very much!

[@arfunder]

@@stphndrn oh! Btw! Never wash wooden thing in the dishwasher. After some months it will start degrade as if it were wet for months and you might injure your hands with a splinter (wood chip? Dunno) I saw a spatula which looks like a Crouset one. Take care of her! (I think you can dismount it, place the plastic thing inside the dishwasher (with the hole looking downwards) and clean the stick by hand)

[@marie-evethibodeau1756]

hey ! thank you so much for your video ! I really liked it ! I have been eying this for a while now and I have been wondering how much actually fits in. We are a family of 4 and been hand washing for 2 years... I was wondering how much or how many plates you can fit. It says it can hold up to 6 sittings, is that right ? would you happened to have tried it ? Thank you so some ! awesome video !

Hi Stephanie, I washed for the firstly time. I when finished I saw so much water inside did not drain.....that ever happened to you

[@stphndrn]

No, after it gets washed if u open right away depending on what detergent you use, you will see a lot of bubbles. Thats ok. They go away. If you see a lot of water, then close it. And start to do a cycle, but just the first 20 seconds thats when it drains. Then end the cycle by turning it off... But make sure everything is installed properly first. Let me know how it goes!

After the end of any cycle and after closing the tap and pushing the red button to expel a small jet of water. Is it normal to have to empty in the pipes filled with water from the dishwasher?

[@stphndrn]

Hey Daniel! Great question! That has to be done to release the pressure, otherwise you can't take the hose out. But I think the pipes still have some water in them, I don't worry about that because before each cycle that gets expelled before the wash...does that answer your question? 😊

I had a larger Danby portable with a salt resivor in bottom. It was free from a gal many miles from me. Very scaled up with lime. Once I got the lime cleaned up it worked wonderfully for 7 years for me and was working well when a fire from LL stove burnt our house up. Of all lost I think that dishwasher is the hardest loss. No leaks, all wash cycles worked, had faucet hook up but could be manually filled with bucket. All stainless interior save racks, just great all around. Models sold now are less options, no soft water option. I could wash anything in that machine! Thanks for the review. Wish I'd done one of the near full size but 18" across the front model.

[@MzBleuBunni]

Can I put this dishwasher on a rack to use it? Do I need it near the sink?

It depends the configuration of your kitchen as long as you can connect it to the sink you have some space to maneuver. I would think it needs to be interrupted counter, since its a countertop dishwasher...lol

If I use cold or lukewarm faucet water, does the dishwasher boil the water before the machine starts cleaning dishes?

It does heat up the water, its just easier for the mechanism if you use hot or lukewarm.

And like all dishwashers the first rinse doesn’t heat. Just uses water. You are supposed to use hot water. Then the other parts of the cycles it uses the heating element.
