"lasted for 5 years; just bought another"
I bought this product in 2003 and never had a problem with it until 5 years later when the heating mechanism fried. I just bought another one and hope that lasts just as long or longer. When used with a powerful soap you don't even need to rinse the dishes first and you don't have to rewash after the cycle is over.

"Do not waste your time and money"
I bought it on Nov. 27, 2006 and it was broken (water leaking at the bottom) after several months. Then I called in customer service and they replaced it with a new one. I was pleased at that time. But several weeks ago (around May, 2008), it was broken again. Since the warranty period already past, I was told by the representitive that they can do nothing with it. I think it must have design defects since the same problem occured for two new machines. But they said it just due to my bad luck. So before you buy one, think twice.

"Great little dishwasher if you use it right"
I purchased my Haier countertop dishwasher in Sept 2007 for my little 2 bedroom apt, because I did not have room for anything bigger and did not want to be responsible for all the expenses associated with permanently installing one (electrical, plumbing, etc). Plus - why would I pay to put a dishwasher in someone else's home?
So - it has been 8 months now and I am very happy with my purchase. This little guy is perfect for the occasional dishes and utensils that a single person makes. You can even fit small pots and pans in it, but for me the main use is for dishes. And as someone who absolutely HATES to wash utensils, this guy is perfect! Hooking it up is very easy, just attach to your faucet with the quick-disconnect attachment, and drop the drain hose in the sink and you are done. Now for a larger family that cooks alot this might not be ideal, as it only holds a small amount of dishes, and one or two pots fills it, so make sure you consider that. But for a single guy/girl, a young couple, or maybe a single mom or dad with 1 kid - this guy is ideal.

"not so good"
the compact dishwasher is hard to load and does not have a place to put the rinse aid. It is too small for someone who cooks even for 2 people. I am not please with it at all. I wish I had not wasted my money on it. Does anybody want to buy it? I will sell it cheap.

"Works Great"
This works great for just my wife and me. A little hassle to hook up each time but worth the bother. My wife loves it.
