    • Heating Element for Drying
    • Washes Dishes Properly
    • Comes with Hoses and Faucet Adapter
    • Full run takes about 3 hours
    This portable dishwasher cleans extremely well and dries effectively. The only minor drying issue I’ve noticed is that dishes with deep, bowl-like shapes can sometimes hold small pools of water if the water doesn’t drain off completely.
    Overall, this machine does an excellent job cleaning and doesn’t require a full pre-wash. As with any dishwasher, it’s still a good idea to rinse off large food scraps beforehand for the best results.
    Worth knowing: To avoid the leaking customers, complain about, do not disconnect the hose from the machine. Only disconnect from the faucet and allow the water to drain from the hose into the sink/bucket. Hang the hose after when not in use.
