Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating :  - Very nice, really good dishwasher!
Danby Portable 1805W
Pros: Sturdy/well-built, roomy interior, excellent cleaning, well-priced.
Cons: Very long "normal" wash cycle; no end-of-cycle signal.
Recommend: Definitely!!
My kitchen floor space, cabinet and storage space are extremely limited and a portable dishwasher my only option. I tried the Haier 18" portable but this dishwasher is riddled with problems and within two weeks I returned it. I considered the Sears Kenmore 18" portable but it is over priced. I read the positiwe online reviews for this Danby but couldn't find it locally. A few weeks later, I found this Danby online at what I consider a bargain price and free ship-to-store for pick-up. Once I got it home and unpacked, my goodness, it is almost identical to the pricey Kenmore (or is the Kenmore almost identical to the Danby?).
After my experience with the Haier, I was skeptical, but the Danby 1805W is more than I expected. It is attractive, sturdy, and easily moves about on the large casters. Unpack it and the dishwasher is ready to be attached to the faucet (with the provided adaptor), plugged in, loaded, and started. The stainless steel interior is also attractive and well put together. It is roomy, easy to load and unload. No problem with normal-size plates and platters. It holds quite a load of dishes, and there is a nice size flatware tray which holds plenty. I found the "normal" cycle to be quite long (90 minutes) but the dishes were spotlessly clean and dry when removed. It operates fairly quietly. There is storage for the cord and hoses. The manual could be better written and the control dial and buttons labeled better but after a couple of reads and use, it's easy to get the hang of it. Did I mention that the cleaning was thorough, spotless, and the dishes dry when finished? All-in-all, it's not perfect but it is a remarkably good machine and I am thrilled to have it.
