Magic Chef MCSCD6W3 6 Place Setting Countertop Dishwasher, White

I love my new dishwasher! This works really well. We are a family of 2 currently and this holds more dishes than we regularly use. It does a great job of cleaning the dishes! I was seriously impressed with how well it gets the job done. I was surprised by the quality of this dishwasher. It is very strudy. The inside is stainless and quite large. My only complaint (which is my own fault for not checking dimensions) is that I was not expecting it to be quite so large. It takes up a large amount of countertop space. I have been searching for a cart of some sort that this will fit on but so far I have not had any luck. Overall this purchase was well worth it. The set up is fairly simple. I have had zero leaking problems like some of the other reviews I read. The product was delivered quickly but not within the normal 2 day prime time which was a little disappointing at the time, but I haven't had a dishwasher in over 2 years so I managed the extra day without it. If you are looking for a quality dishwasher and have limited space, I highly recommend this one!

I bought this for our second home, which is occupied by some of my adult children. We have been using this dishwasher almost every day for over 3 years. Dishes come out sparkling clean. A few points about what we have learned: 1. It doesn't fit under the cabinets so I bought a rolling metal cart: Seville Classics Stainless-Steel NSF-Certified Professional Kitchen Work Table Cart, 24" W x 20" D x 36" H, 2 ft. with Wheels from Amazon. The dishwasher fits perfectly, and I can move the dishwasher/cart easily around my small kitchen. 2. The cart is also great because the hose drips water, so I went to a garden store and bought a cute plastic pot to hold the curled up hose and dripping water. I just need to empty the ~inch of water out of the pot about once/week. 3. I found out quickly to NOT pre-wash the dishes in the sink using any liquid dish detergent, otherwise there will be soap suds in the dishwasher after many rinses. So, I "pre-wash" using just water, I fill up the left side of the detergent tray with powdered dish detergent, I also use Finish rinse-aid. The dishes come out sparkling clean. 4. The heated cycles produced a strange smell so I opt not to use them. 5. I always wash in the following order: one quick wash (45 minutes) two rinse cycles (24 minutes each) I start my load just before bedtime and whoever gets up in the middle of the night changes the cycle to rinse and starts the rinse cycle. In the morning I unplug the machine, roll it to its corner, open the door and in about an hour the dishes air dry and are ready to put away. Note: with careful loading we only have to do dishes once/day for two or three people. When this machine, or my built in one at home, finally fails, I am going to buy this machine again as a replacement.

The dishwasher arrived with the interior wet. The blue protective coating had been removed from the interior. It worked well for 5 dish washings. Started leaking under the dishwasher. Not where the out and intake hoses were. I am returning this, not sure all the time spent researching the best portable dishwasher was helpful.

Good dishwasher and holds a good bit of dishes. Only downside is the hoses. They retain water and it is difficult to purge them after disconnecting from the sink. Should have come with some sort of holder.

Works great in the RV while full-timing. We use the dishwasher almost daily (sometimes 3 times in a day when we have been bad). We bought plates that were at the recommended max size to make sure we were able to fit as much as possible. We fit a lot of dishes in it. You have to be a little creative and do some Tetris. It also helps to start loading the back first. The tray doesn't come completely out onto the door. Occasionally we will pull the silverware basket out and just fill it with pots to avoid hand washing. It always amazes us how clean it gets everything. Part of the cleanliness I think comes from using it in an RV. The reason I say that is because we hook it up to the faucet and put it to full hot. RVs do not have anti-scald features, so the hot water heater delivers 180 degree water to the dishwasher. Considerably hotter than a house that delivers about 140 degree water. Or maybe its just an awesome dishwasher to begin with. Oh, almost forgot about the faucet adapter. Yes, one is provided. Yes, the ones you find being sold separately are better and hold on better. Also, I used the adapter in the male configuration threading into my faucet's plastic female threads. The 2 seals stacked together was to thick for a proper hold under the water pressure. I carefully cut one of them in half with a razor (do at your own risk). Then, I placed the cut one in the bottom and the uncut one on top and was able to thread the adapter in until it bottomed in the threads. Holds great and no leaks.

Very quiet and efficient. BUT, after having it awhile, I have to mention these caveats: The spray arm was damaged when I got it, so I initially wondered why it did not always clean consistently, I thought I was overloading it or misloading it. I decided to repair the part myself, after contacting the company and getting NO answer. Now I'm looking for a replacement however, even with the spray arm being a bit dodgy, it still cleans pretty well. The detergent door does not always release, but I'm thinking the arm has something to do with it, not always spinning as it should. The power switch became inconsistent, then stopped working - I disassembled the panel and noted that it was a microswitch, and that it could be 'tricked' into staying on, so I set it that way. This DOES NOT control the actual washing action, just power on/off, so I can get around this (for now), but if the other switch goes bad ...

1. This uses SO MUCH WATER if you use it according to the instructions. The faucet is running the entire cycle, about 75 minutes. The average sink faucet uses one gallon every two minutes. My research indicated that if the dishwasher was not taking in water, the pressure would cause very little water to actually come out of the faucet, so it's like it's running but not running. Well, I'm using the adapter and hose that came with the machine, and there is a *lot* of water that gets wasted. It's not a very good seal, if it's even possible for the faucet to run-but-not-run in the first place. I plugged my drain to see how much water was being used, and not even halfway through the cycle (prewash, prewash, wash, rinse, rinse -- this would have been halfway through wash) my sink filled up all the way twice. I couldn't bring myself to continue with the water running nonstop. This is the only way you can actually run this efficiently: >>>Start with the water on. You can hear and feel the water going through the hose. The dishwasher isn't really doing anything. >>>The dishwasher will start making the churning dishwashery noise. At that point you can turn the water off. If the dishwasher needs water and there is no water supply it will automatically pause. You are not putting the washer or cleanliness at risk. >>>After it does it's thing it will make no noise for a few seconds >>>The water will dump out >>>No noise again -- turn water on, then after a few seconds you can hear/feel the intake >>>It will go back to the churny noise and you can turn it off again >>>Repeat, repeat, repeat -- cycle is prewash, prewash, wash, rinse, rise. *** If you are away when it needs water, it will pause, and after a while it will beep loudly until the water is one. Helps cut down the babysitting a little. 2. If you do not have a standard faucet, I would strongly recommend not buying a portable dishwasher at all, be it this model or any model. You must use the aerator/adapter that comes with the machine. If you can easily unscrew your sink's aerator without having to take anything apart to access it, it will probably work. If you have a sink/sprayer combo (a "fancy faucet"), be warned. There are youtube videos that say it's easy, that you just need an adapter -- but, they all have different sizes and threading, and it may not work at all, and you'll be stuck with a $250 dishwasher on your hands that's a pain the rear to ship back. My husband ended up installing a new faucet after we failed to find an adapter that would work. Not everyone has such a handy person in their family or a landlord that doesn't mind.

I've used this dishwasher about 10 times now and I'm very happy with it. It's easy to use and fits quite a few dishes. The dishes come out very clean; though, I've been rinsing every plate before putting them in. My only complaint is that it takes a very long time (150 minutes for a regular cycle). The instruction manual says wash times vary depending on water temperature and pressure. However, after 10 years of hand washing, I don't mind waiting 150 minutes for my dishes. I don't have any extra counter space, so I purchased a kitchen cart for the dishwasher. The cart is a "Seville Classics Professional Chef's Kitchen Cart with Solid Bamboo Top." I found it on Costco's website for $100. I like it because the dish washer fits easily on the shelves and they are rated to hold up to 75 pounds. I just roll it over to the sink when I'm ready to use it.
