Well, after bringing back Haier's countertop model that we had so much trouble with, we decided to give this one a shot. We brought it home (it's a lot heavier than the other one!) and screwed its wheels on, then gave it a chance to prove itself.
It cleaned every dish we put in wonderfully! No drainage problems, no leaking problems, everything seemed fine. So, we decided to wash our sink full of dirty dishes and see how it did.
It even does wonders on pots and pans! The few dishes that were dirty were pretty crusted on to begin with so its not the dishwasher's fault. We did run into problems later on with it not cleaning as well but we discovered it was the dollar store dish detergent we were using that was mucking things up.
I really love the little plastic thing that hooks the drain hose over the sink. We had quite an interesting setup with the other dishwasher. The racks inside the dishwasher are a little cheap, the prongs tend to bend fairly easily. The silverware holder doesn't snap into place, but it stays where it should when the dishwasher is run. The filters are great. It keeps us from accidentally getting something stuck somewhere inside the dishwasher. They're a little hard to clean but its worth the effort.
After a few months we're still having good luck with this dishwasher! I'd recommend it to anyone who's got a small kitchen and could use a little extra work space, as the top of the dishwasher works wonderfully for preparing meals and whatnot.
