Extremely surprised ...

Date:February 14, 2012
Best Uses: Small Kitchen
Being that the dish washer is a small one (18") I didnt expect it to do as well as it has. In the past I have had others which were obnoxiously loud and you had to clean the dishes before you put them in to get cleaned. I would highly recommend this product to someone who has limited space, as I do, and would have nothing but good things to say about it.
Thank you

Describe Yourself:Cleans 2-3 Times Per Week.

very satisfied

Date:January 27, 2012
Best Uses: Small Kitchen, Large Kitchen
I had a plumber install it, so I am basing my rating regarding installation on his observations. I did have to call the company to find the serial number, which is on the lower right leg behind the kick plate, in order to fill out the warranty. I have only used it twice but have been very satisfied so far. For two people I find I can do 6 meals worth of dishes, if I wash my cooking dishes (pots, pans, etc) by hand. I only had a small space, and it fits in very nicely. It is what I hoped it would be. Most of the directions were easily read.

Compact Dishwasher

Date:January 19, 2012
Best Uses: Small Kitchen, Vintage or Retro Kitchen
I had a client that lives in a 1950's home. The kitchen cabinet are only 21" deep rather than 24" as they are now. They wanted a dishwasher but couldn't afford a $30,000 kitchen remodel. This was the answer. This dishwasher fit in a 18" wide opening from where a drawer was and the depth was only 21". It was a prefect fit. The dishwasher was well made, easy to install, and quite. The only thing is the instruction for the salt for the water softener wasn't very good.

skeptical

Date:January 24, 2012
I was skeptical after reading some of the reviews, but the danby 18' has worked great. It is very quite and cleans the dishes well. I have found that you have to crack the door after cycle in order for the dishes to dry. Can't beat it for the price.

Right size but poorly made

Date:August 26, 2010
Best Uses: Small Kitchen
I bought this dishwasher for use in an older model mobile home we bought to live in while building our home. It was old an had an extremely small kitchen I had just enough space beside the kitchen sink to slide this dishwasher in and it fit perfectly I was elated. It was quite and washed my dishes well. The problem was it's a piece of junk that either stops working mid cycle, or start to leak after about three months. I had mine a year and had to ship it back to Danby twice first to be "fixed" I'm not sure what they fixed since when it came back the box looked like it had been through a warzone, and the dishwasher was dinted. I decided to give it a try though, I was desperate to have a working dishwasher again. A week later I was shipping it back because okay now it wasn't getting stuck in the middle of the wash cycle but now it had leaked flooding my kitchen. Called Danby they said they would replace it with a new one. I sent it back after having to find a new box to ship it in myself. Nearly two months later I get my "new" dishwasher only to open the box to a dishwasher that obvisouly wasn't new, and hadn't even been cleaned before being shipped to me. There was still bits of food inside it and water in the hoses. I called Danby back this time a bit upset, because by this time I'd had the dishwasher for a year and had only gotten about four months of use out of it since I was forever sending it off and waiting weeks, sometimes months to get it back. The customer service people got very rude accusing me of trying to rip them off. After forty minutes on the phone, and talking to three increasingly rude customer service reps, I decided reporting them to the Better Business Bureau was the only option I had left. We did test the "brand new" dishwasher it leaked and stopped working towards the end of the quick wash cycle the first time we used it.
