I’ve been in Dubai for over a decade. This morning, my counter-top dishwasher arrived. We cannot modify the plumbing in our apartments, so I could never install a dishwasher. This thing only does maybe two place settings, and large pans are still going into the sink, but I ran my first wash with it, and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve already put away my dish drying racks (keeping one of the trays that miraculously fits neatly under the new dishwasher. I wish it got the water hotter, but 72 DegC (about 160 in real temperature) is better than what my sink does. I’m not thrilled with the drain hose. It’s too stiff, and won’t easily bend into shape. I’m going to do some Yankee Engineering to get it to stay put.
I know it’s a small thing - hence the thread title - but I’m quite happy I got it.
