18" Energy Star Portable Dishwasher (SD-9263W)

Amazon Customer: We recently moved into a small apartment from a large house. We were used to having a dishwasher but needed a small portable. We are happy with the size, it fit exactly where I measured it to fit. We are happy how clean and dry the dishes are when it completes it's cycle. The only problem I have is the holder on the back of the machine to hold the water hoses is very cheap plastic and broke when I tried to install it.

Literatus: I've had my SPT dishwasher for more than a month now (I wanted to wait till I had a nice sampling of uses before leaving a review), and I can offer feedback that prospective buyers will perhaps find valuable.

I had read quite a number of reviews here before purchasing my unit, and the smattering of complaints did give me pause. But here's what I've learned.

Some reviewers said that their units arrived damaged. I'd imagine this is the fault of the delivery services, but, thankfully, mine came in perfect condition. Second, one or two reviewers complained that a hose leaked from the connection at the bottom back of the dishwasher. After having attached the hoses (which is part of the normal set-up), I can say with confidence that this is no doubt because the reviewers did not make sure they included the necessary washers when making the connections. In particular, one hose has its washer taped in place so it won't fall out of the connector, which it can do VERY easily. So it you're not careful when removing the tape, you can lose the washer and not realize it. The bottom line is that the connections are extremely simple; I cannot see any reason why...

TorahnonnyTorahnonny: Update: have used it several times and works like a charm. Would I recommend it - no - only because of the hose system. Several times ended up with water on the floor from water running out of the hose. Hose does not store well. Too bad. Hope they can come up with a solution.

Ran it one time. Found I hadn't connected one of the hoses tightly enough and it leaked. Very difficult angle. Came with a dent right in front. Haven't run it yet with full load, but it seems to run fine. Guess I just have to be okay with the dent. 😠. Will update after a few washes.

Joshua K.: I will update this review after longer periods of use.

Today was my first day using this dishwasher and so far i am impressed. Unlike many other reviews my unit came flawless and ran without any issues. Hook up was easy, instructions were clear and here I sit not having to wash dishes by hand anymore. I have a spot for it to become a permanent fixture just need to get the kit to hard install.

All in all I’m very satisfied with this purchase. Would recommend if you’re tight on space.

Update: I purchased all the parts needed for a hard install. I did not know that some dishwashers (portable) can not be permanently installed. When I tapped the cold water line and ran the feed hose my dishwasher flooded. After taking everything apart and running the washer with parts that were included I got a E4 code. To clear this code I tilted the dishwasher slightly and got excess water out of the machine. There is a float sensor that will trip if the machine floods.

As it sits now I’m using the original hoses and may split the lines so I do not have to roll the machine to the sink.

Still worth the money I paid. Take my misfortune and do...

taxgoddess: This machine appears to be used. It took a couple of weeks to get to me and didn't arrive until after I had a shoulder replacement. I was unable to do anything for weeks. I was finally able to get someone to unpackage it and bring it into the house. When the box came off, it was clear that it was either used or "reconditioned" or simply returned by someone and repackaged. There is a scratched area on the front upper right that was caused by some damage, and various dents and dings. There are a number of dents along the side and inside rear. It was already past the return date when it was finally unpacked. I have photos taken during the unpackaging.
I have been unable to use it because I couldn't use my hand to hook it to the sink. It's been extremely frustrating. I finally got it hooked up today and the faucet connection leaks badly. The parts are all those that came in the box. It is all done correctly. It appears that the white "handle" hooked to the faucet does not seal whatsoever. Am having someone come over to see if another washer will fit in the connecter to stop the continuous flow of water from the connector.
I am very disappointed with this...
