I Love Our Danby Countertop Dishwasher!



I love our new Danby Countertop Dishwasher so much I just had to blog about it. IT ROCKS!! It's the perfect size for Jonathan and I. I was really hesitant at first because I thought it would be loud or that it was just the two of us, so why did we need a dishwasher? Also, Jonathan is tall, so his back would start hurting when he would stoop over to scrub. He's starting to work OT a lot more and I am getting home later from taking transit, so there is less time either of us want to spend washing dishes. I didn't even know countertop dishwashers existed until I saw one at the house of one of my house-sitting clients. As soon as I left from meeting them I went straight home, looked up dishwashers until I found the one I wanted, and then surprised Jonathan with the idea. He was thrilled! I think he thought I would never go for a dishwasher. After I saw his reaction I secretly ordered it and brought it home. :oD

Meet Danby!

We've played with Danby a little bit and realized that we can wash our dishes on the fastest, most energy efficient setting with cold water and our dishes come out sparkling clean. I already bought this little dishwasher because it was one of the only energy efficient ones I could find, so to be able to make it even better is awesome. As you can see from the pictures above, it's on the larger side, but nothing too bad. At how good of a job it does at cleaning the dishes (and in only 45 minutes!), I only wish I had gotten a Danby sooner! We also tested the casserole setting the other night and I'm surprised it worked as well as it did. The dishes were gross. The plates had dried melted cheese stuck to them; however, it worked just fine!

Seriously, if you are on the fence about getting one, get over that and get one now! I love that my kitchen pretty much always looks clean now. We run a load in Danby and hand wash any bigger items that don't fit. My sink is pretty much always clean, which makes me feel happy and like an accomplished adult.

So there you go! I can't even think of anything I DISLIKE about Danby, I love it that much. :o)

  1. You always turn me on to the best stuff! After years of resisting dishwashers, being in school has made me realize that I can't keep up on that stuff too. I've been looking for half-sized dishwashers (but I want a skinny vertical one) due to a tiny kitchen. Do you know how this bad boy would work if mounted on a shelf below the counter??

    1. It would totally work! In my research on it I found lots of reviews of people who had done that and when I saw the one at the house I was house-sitting it was mounted on a shelf. Just know that it's fairly heavy and so your shelf would have to support it.

  2. hey, that is awesome! We had a convertible one my inlaws got us a few years ago. It is full sized and we would use the top as a cutting space. Then roll it to the sink and plug it in to do dishes. Then when we bought our new place the dishwasher it came with was crappy we replaced it with ours. Installed it and now it works like a regular dishwasher. pretty awesome! Dishwashers are necessary for healthy relationships ;) not really but I totally understand your glee :)

    1. Since this is the first dishwasher I've ever owned, I'm pretty excited! I didn't realize the magicness of them until now. I thought it was some frivolous extra special thing and now? Noooo, I loooooove Danby!
