Customer Review: Outstanding Dishwasher I Put to the Test
Rating: 5 Stars
I wanted to write a review especially after reading some of the misinformation being spread about this machine. I've had it nearly a year now and am very pleased with its performance. At first I was equally unhappy with the long wash cycle, but there are optional choices many appear to have not attempted. The "3" choice is the 50 minute cycle and highly recommended. The others are agreeably far too long.
This machine is awesome and has saved me loads of time washing my own dishes I've done for many years. It properly sanitizes and most always gets dishes clean unless you don't properly prep them. For instance, don't expect dried food to get clean. It may indeed come off, but it's important to wash off most dishes as is necessary with larger machines.
This machine is a winner. If you have low water pressure, that's not this machine's fault. If you expect this washer to preheat water, you're asking for too much. All you need to do is run the water prior to starting the washer to ensure hot water will run through immediately. This washer does have a heater, primarily to dry dishes for the longer wash settings.
It's true on the "3" setting, which is 50 minutes the dishes have water on them after the wash. You can simply leave them to dry a few hours and open the washer a crack. Or, you can shake off the water and set them out to dry a few minutes.
I don't know what people expect for a countertop dishwasher, but some here are a little too critical. This washer is awesome and I'd give it 10 stars if I could. It's saved me an enormous amount of time and water usage as well. It only uses 3 gallons of water.
Customer Review: Best Purchase I've made in the last year!
Rating: 5 Stars
I always lived in rentals that had all of the lastest appliances, but the last time I moved, I sacrificed my usual demands to get into a place that met my pets' needs. So, I spent a year washing dishes and hated every minute of it. A neighbor told me about portables, and I took a look. I was a little concerned that I wouldn't be happy with the dishwasher, but let me tell you--it's been several months and this is the best purchase I've made in the past year. It cleans very, very well--works just as well as a new dishwasher that is operating properly. I can't speak highly enough of it!
I will tell you that I had a little difficulty setting it up initially--I couldn't get the aerator off to install the connector to the sink. If you are a single woman and have not taken apart a sink before(which was my problem), the trick is to get some pliers and to turn the aerator the opposite direction than you would logicially expect. My neighbor--another single woman--showed me what I was doing wrong. Neither the vendor nor the manufacturer were helpful when I ran into problems--I was told to just return the unit. The directions were also pretty unhelpful.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the unit. It looks great and works very well too. If you are on the fence on this and need a dishwasher, I think you'll be pleased with your purchase.
Customer Review: Edgestar Is an excellent answer to the small household dishwasher

I have had this product for 2 years. My son and I enjoy this appliance and its convienence. We run it every other day during the week and three times a day on the weekends. It holds a Caraffe from our Mr coffee Tea maker and all the odd utensils we use. For really small items I use a baby bottle lid and nipple plastic cage. Some small plastic cups flip over during a wash cycle, I am looking at creating a net of some kind for light weight dishes. I have noted that it does not have a liquid detergent dispenser. We fixed that challenge. My son put a small spice lid in the bottom of the washer and filled it with detergent. The lid holds about one ounce of liquid as the washer goes through the initial pump cycle. Then as the water is pumped in it mixes with the water and cleans the dishes. I have it on a counter next to the sink. Easy to plug in and use. No leaks. I have been toying with the Idea of permanently hooking it up to the water and drain plumbing. Got a few Ideas, will let you know how it works out. cannot say enough good things about this appliance. Sold the full size dishwasher a week after this one arrived.
To Clean the dishwasher I run an empty cycle with a bowl filled with 1/2 cup of bleach, loaded upright in the large dish area, once every other week. More often if we run it more than usual like during the holidays.
Customer Review: A huge convenience

I just purchased this yesterday from a classified listing on CL (the person never used it and bought it through Amazon). I absolutely hate doing dishes (the one time I did them anyway since moving into my new apartment and buying paper plates).
Hook up was very simple- Just hook up two hoses to the unit, screw on a quick-release adapter to the sink faucet (then hook up the hoses to the sink via the quick-release system), and plug in the unit. That's it.
I was a little impatient, and forgot to get dishwashing detergent on my way home- so I just washed my dishes with water only, simply to test it out. To my amazement, the dishes came out sparkling clean, even with no detergent (though the silverware could have benefited slightly from detergent). I can imagine that detergent would make cleaning pretty much perfect all the way around. I was also a little apprehensive about there being no mention of a drying cycle. However, at least with the Santi-wash setting, the dishes are dry within about 15-20 minutes after the washing cycles completes (I think this is partly due to dishes being sufficiently hot such that the water simply evaporates off of them).
I never imagined I could be so happy with a basic appliance, but this thing is really cool, and I no longer dread using my non-paper dishes.
Customer Review: Great customer service
Rating: 5 Stars
I bought this item online (not from Amazon), and when I received it I could see that the packaging was a bit roughed up. It seemed that it might have been dropped on the front upper left corner, as it was subtly dented there and it difficult to open the door. Well, I decided to give it a whirl anyway, and after a few minutes, warm water started pouring out of the front panel! Oh noo!
Well, that was the bad news, but here's the good news: The customer service rep at EdgeStar I spoke to was amazing! The rep was very quick, easy to talk to, and immediately determined that the water pump must have been damaged during shipment (no hold time either). In minutes I had a code to give to the company I purchased the unit from, so I called them up, gave them the code (no hold time either), and they instructed me to pack the unit back up and put it on the porch for UPS. The next day, UPS came to pick it up. Amazing!
So, I'm pretty impressed with their service! I've lived overseas and was amazed that in many countries, this would be considered the absolute minimum in customer service. But as an American company, EdgeStar has completely exceeded my expectations, making me dream of a better tomorrow where things actually work, and if they don't someone takes responsibility and fixes it! Kudos EdgeStar!
