My husband bought me my first dishwasher (which he had been griping about for the past 20 years - he wanted me to have one - I always said no) for Christmas. It is a GE portable. I love it! Love it! Love it! I wash dishes twice a week (just the two of us), the dishes are spotless (of course you have to rinse them off, but then you do that with all of them) and the top makes a super sideboard, of which I only have a total of 24" and this has added another 26" to my total work space.
It is very quiet, works like a charm and I don't know why I waited so long, other than I never would have had this one. Edie
