Love it

I recently took delivery of this product to put it through the paces. Needless to say, I am quite happy. I have never seen a product that I was so anxious to use. The unit still has the wood screwed to the bottom of it. I have tested products for ********** and was disappointed in the quality. I would...

Sucks.

Purchased 7/16/2006, Died 1/18/2010. Died right before the last pump out of the last rinse cycle. All lights & motors just went off. I tried it again today & it did not reset itself like the manual said it would. It never did a good job cleaning even in the pots & pans mode. I've had GE, Maytag & now...

Displaying reviews 1 - 13 of 19 in total

Completely unexpected from a Whirlpool product. A lightly-used product and well-maintained and cared for item in the kitchen has now caused significant pain and suffering. No more warranty and with once per week use (or less) in the last 18 months, it's now puking - thank heaven's I didn't leave for an hour or so while it was on!

Hard to reccommend this under current emotional let-down.

bought this dishwasher for my mom it has been nice but the dome switches they use are not elderly friendly my mom at age 72 has to use a wooden spoon to press the buttons because they are so hard to push.

Not energy efficient and overrated

We have owned many portable dishwashers over the years and we were most disappointed in the Whirlpool which because it was the most expensive portable available and had the best ratings, promised to be a good buy. It wasn't. First, it's capacity is much more limited than one would expect. This is because the racks are so poorly designed. It is hard to fit cereal bowls and other bowls in or any odd shaped dishes. Our old Maytag had a much better designed trays and would hold a 1/3 more dishes than the Whirlpool in the same amount of space. Although it has a unique silverware tray that fits into... read full review »

I don't have room for a built in dishwasher so the Whirlpool Portable works very well in my space plus gives me additional countertop.  Hookup to the sink is very easy.  Holds all my dishes plus the pots and pans.  The different settings for different loads is convenient as it cleans even those pots and pans.  The heated setting makes me comfortable in the cleanliness of the dishes even with the flu scare going on.

Thumbs up!!

I have had my dishwasher for now going on 13yrs and its withstand the test of 3 teenager during that time. Loved how it got the dishes clean even the pots and pans. expecting it to last alot longer at the rate.

Love this dishwasher!

I am so glad I bought this dishawaher. At first, I was hesitant to buy a portable dishwasher because of the inconvenience of it and could not afford to immediately redo my kitchen. My daughter talked me into buying it and I am so glad I did. It cleans thoroughly without rinsing my dishes first. It even cleans caked on food residue. It has several different settings..............plenty enough for me. My dishes and pots and pans come out sparkling clean. Some reviews I read said it was noisey; but I did not find it to be any more noisey than other appliance and a lot less noisey than I had thought.... read full review »

5 stars

I'll make this short and sweet. This dishwasher is excellent. It cleans dishes and cups in those hard to get places, and makes them look new. The only thing it needs is a little bit better drying cycle. Thank you for a great product..

i like having a portable dishwasher because i live in a compact place and its great for an apartment as well that doesnt have a dishwasher installed.  hooks up to your sink

I have had my dishwasher for quite a while now and I love it. Sometimes it difficult to find a high powered and still compact portable dishwasher but this one is both. Its large enough to accomidate just about any dish or pan and is high powered enough to really get them clean. I highly reccomend this product.

Above Par

I was very nervous about buying this dishwasher. I washed one load and it went away. This is one of the best investments that I have ever bought. It cleaned all of the dishes with ease. like all dishwashers, it is somewhat noisy but you can still watch a show in the next room with ease. We did not rinse the dishes before hand and everything came out like we would have washed it. This is the third whirlpool appliance that we bought this year and they have yet to let us down. Some complain about a handle not being there but a person can easily grab the back and the front to move it. I found moving... read full review »

Pretty good buy

This is an excellent product. I brought it last winter/spring maybe 3/2006. It worked great. only thing is I wished the racks inside were as durable as those better washers. I brought the extra insurance in case it has a problem but as long as I had it was as durable as they come for the price. I ended up selling it back since I needed the money. I strongly recommend if you are renting. It's a good size so it does take up some room in your kitchen. It also gives you extra counter space if you need it.

Very Satisfied

For being a portable, it operates quietly. It rolls easily to the sink even fully loaded. I have had it for a year now without any problems. The only thing I would change is where the silverware basket is. It is located on the inside of the door, but I would prefer a bigger one that could be loaded inside along the side of the dishwasher like my previous Kenmore was. That's not really a problem, just a personal preference. It does a good job of cleaning the dishes. My brother has the same model, only built in and is very pleased with his also.

great portable dishwasher

I bought this dishwasher almost a year ago and I am very happy with it. I have had no problems with the performance of the dishwasher, it gets dishes clean no matter how soiled they were when they were put in. The cycles are long, I usually start up the dishwasher when I go to bed just so I don't jepordize the use of my sink for the couple of hours that it needs to run. The on the door silverware holder is well designed - just don't block the water from getting to them. When the silverware rack is set on the counter, it usually falls over - it's only flaw. The racks are pretty typical, and it's... read full review »
