Author's Review

I've been using my Danby 396 for about 7 months, and I'm very glad I bought this dishwasher. Not a whole lot needs to be said: it's a good value, it's not very loud, and it doesn't take up too much space (although some may prefer to use a cart if they have very little counter space as it is). It's great for those who:

1) hate doing dishes,
2) don't have two sinks,
3) or if you're like me, both.

My gripes are minor: the window is completely useless, you have to manually turn the dial between the "pre-wash" and "wash" stages (either that or mine's broken), and the recommended Cascade detergent doesn't work very well in my experience.

A suggestion: buy "Electrasol PowerBall with Jet-Dry" tabs and cut them in half; they have proven to be the best solution for us by far.
