Hamilton Beach HBDW3208 Counter Top Portable Dishwasher, 6 Place Settings, White

This little Hamilton Beach dishwasher is awesome! Doesn’t take up much room in the kitchen, easy even for 98-pound weaklings to wheel to the sink & connect hoses to faucet & use it. I ran it on the heavy cycle for its maiden voyage because I had very dirty dishes piled up. That cycle does take a long time, but everything came out so squeaky clean! It is whisper-quiet to operate — my bathroom exhaust fan is more audible in my kitchen than this cute thing is when I’m sitting right next to it. I had to wait a day or two to try it out because I needed to order wrenches to switch the faucet-tip to fit the dishwasher’s hose adapter (my house is in chaos right now, can’t find lots of things, but with a working dishwasher again, I hope to get the mess under better control). Amazon came through with quick delivery of wrenches so I could go forward with using it. I’m so happy now! My back hurts too much standing at the sink handwashing dishes, & it’s not a very efficient use of the time/efforts of house cleaners. This model holds plenty for a single person or two, the Energy Star rating says it uses less than $25/year in electricity (even if it’s double that, no sweat), & dishwashers don’t really use much water compared to handwashing. Plus, you can sterilize things like glass jars for canning even if you don’t do a sterilizing seal. I don’t can fruit or jam much, but I do make kimchi & other fermented stuff. Heat processing kills the good microorganisms (with beneficial effects), so I don’t do that, but I need to sterilize the containers *before* filling them to prevent competition from unwanted buggies. One note: the dishwasher delivery was to my front porch, & in the box it is a 2-man job to move it. No problem, I just unboxed it on the porch & wheeled it inside. It arrives in manufacturer packaging so your neighbors will know what you got anyway, there’s no privacy reason not to unbox it outside. Once you free it from the box, cardboard pallet & styrofoam, it’s easy for one person to move into the house, tho. Photo of sparkling clean dishes for tax.

Absolutely love! We have a small narrow kitchen that doesn't have the space to fully install a dishwasher. I've purchased a couple of smaller (4 place setting or so size) countertop/portable dishwashers over the years but I didn't feel that they cleaned adequately and they took up too much of our limited counter space. This dishwasher checks all the boxes for me! It fits nicely next to the end of our counter by the sink. Appears to use a small amount of water as we have a smaller hot water heater and we're able to shower without issue right after/during a wash cycle. It's on the more quiet side and I even pop back into the kitchen to make sure it's running. Super easy to setup, especially if you're familiar with portable or countertop dishwasher hookups. FedEx delivered mine and struggled a bit to unload and get it to my porch. It is heavy so I'd recommend having a moving partner! Dishes come out nice and clean for mildly to moderately dirty dishes on the 1 hour cycle (haven't tried the other cycles as we've had great results with 1hr cycle). We purchased on March 31st and have not had any issues thus far and its June 4th. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with this dishwasher and would definitely recommend!

I'm not sure exactly how it does it, but this will make your dishes dirtier than when you started the dishwasher. After spending the time to pre-rinse and load it, you will find that after washing, it has moved any food debris to cover all of your dishes and silverware, and then it bakes that debris on real good. I usually have to hand wash half of the dishes after washing, and I definitely spend more time to get dirty dishes than if I would have just hand-washed them. It has one sprayer arm on the bottom so therefore nothing in the top rack gets clean. I bought Hot Point because they used to be a top brand, but this is just a bad product. You also have to tighten hose connections underneath the washer because they loosen very quickly and it will then leak on your floor. The size is good, it's very easy to move, it's whisper quiet, but it doesn't clean your dishes and silverware. And yes, I use the top brand dishwasher liquid and rinse liquid.

Washes well, easy to install, affordable. I do wish it dried the dishes a little more, but honestly better than others on the market. No leaks, beeps or codes. Good washer!

First off, let me say, the item in the pictures on Amazon is NOT the item you're going to receive. This model has a screen, and the front is laid out entirely differently and honestly looks a lot nicer, though I think it is the same size listed. I was so confused because all of the pictures I saw in reviews did now match the stock photos, so I didn't know what model I was actually going to get, so I'm telling you now, it's the model RDW3208-B, not RDW3208. That being said, after reading a LOT of reviews for counter top dishwashers, from a lot of different sources, I found this machine. I'm on a budget, so the low price was appealing. One of my biggest concerns was leaks, but from what I read in reviews, every one of these counter top dishwashers seems to come with that risk, so I figured that was a risk I'd have to take with any of these machines. So after some research, I was skeptical, yet hopeful that this was the dishwasher for me. At the time of writing, I think I was correct. To start I was very surprised about how easy and straightforward it was to setup. Just screw the cap/screen off my faucet, attach the quick connect adapter with a wrench, and attach the quick connect hose. That's it. Super easy. The manual explains all the various functions very well, and you get a lot of different wash options, a lot more than it looks like from the stock photos, so that was nice. So far I've used it about 20 or so times, testing various settings and detergents, and came to the conclusion that regular powder plus rinse aid seems to be the most effective, I'm using Cascade complete powder, and finish jet dry rinse aid, and it's very effective, it was able to get some very tough dishes spotless. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase, I didn't think with our small kitchen we would ever have a dishwasher, but here it is, and it's made me and the wife's lives so much easier, and I think it was worth every single penny.

My husband and I like this countertop dishwasher. We live in an apartment so the size is perfect for us. It’s very easy to use and there are enough washing options to pick from. It cleans the dishes well if you don’t overload it. The only noise that may bother some people is when it releases the water into the sink. It uses less water than hand dishwashing. We’ve had it for about 10 months and it works great so far. We had a similar dishwasher like this one but it only lasted about a year.— this washer was its replacement. If you’re going to buy the product I highly recommend buying the Protection Plan with it.

It's been a week since I got my Hamilton Beach dishwasher. So far, I am very happy with it! I noticed in the reviews that there have been some comments that there's a little leak in the back where the hoses connected. When I started to attach the hose to the back of my it was hard to tighten and that it would squeak. I decided to add some food grade grease to the back on the threading of the two connections. It let me tighten the hoses with little to no friction. I guess I could have used some cooking grease or butter instead as long as it's something digestible. This is what I did and it helped but I'm not advising you to do the same. That's up to you and I take no responsibility. Anyway, I love my dishwasher, it works great and has a lot of room for my dishes and pans. I should have bought sooner!

I was skeptical about buying this because I am not a handy person, but this is super easy to attach to your kitchen faucet and it is quiet while cleaning. I have a big enough kitchen, so I leave it on the counter all the time. The only con is that you have to run your kitchen faucet for 45-85 minutes on hot. I have been using the 45 minute cycle, but that hasn't gotten the dishes all the way clean, so I'll have to start running it for longer. I live alone, so I don't create a lot of dirty dishes, so I run this about every 4 days and I can keep my dirty dishes in it out of sight until it is full. I gave this 3 stars because it was dented in 2 places on the side when it arrived, but it is so heavy that I didn't want the hassle of returning it just for that. The dents are in the back, so you can't see them, but the packaging should be upgraded. I still wash my pots and pans by hand and large spoons and spatulas, as there isn't enough room in this, but otherwise I am very happy with this purchase and am glad I no longer have to wash my dishes by hand!

Great dishwasher. Came the day after ordering. We’ll packaged and undamaged. Easy to set up. Just screw the two hoses to the appropriate points. I had a previous dishwasher so I had the necessary tap attachment. I have had the dishwasher for a few weeks and have run it several times with no issues. It is quiet and does a good job. I’m happy with my purchase and would recommend.

Love it!!! For an apartment or condo it is perfect. I can honestly say that this appliance along with portable washer dryers makes living in an apartment or condo much more satisfying. I would not live in a unit without a dishwasher; this left me with the choice of high class and high price units. Now I can look at older, cheaper units and enjoy the convenience of a dishwasher. The only problem with these kinds of washers is that they are not on par with Bosch dishwashers with extremely high pressure jets and garberator style drainage. The most economical and convenient cleaning compromise! It is LARGE ... I had to put mine atop my refrigerator! Imagine a normal washer cut in half horizontally.

Muy funcional, deja los trastes limpios la mejor compra que pude haber realizado Solo fue necesario readaptar las mangueras con una pequeña extensión al agua y al drenaje-triturador pero de ahí no fue complicado ni su uso ni su instalación

Me encanta! La mejor compra, perfecta para dos personas.

The dishwasher itself is great for a micro-apartment and works fantastically. The only issues were with delivery. While I was at home, they didn't ring the bell, went to the back patio, and literally dumped it upside down. I knew it was here due to the loud thud when dropped. They refused to carry it indoors, I'm a senior living alone who had to hire someone to bring it in out from under storm clouds. There are zero exaggerations here!! This behavior slightly dented likely the only corner manageable, as it was pretty well packaged, but the box certainly could use better reinforcement along the four corners. Product 5 star. Courrier used not even 1!!
