Simple Yet Solid

This machine has a digital face and a durable body, but may not be strong enough for heavily soiled dishes.

The digital screen is a nice touch, and the stainless steel interior is part of a design that's long-lasting and durable. It's a very good size and fits nicely on most countertops. When running, the water is highly pressurized, so it cleans well.

Attachment parts aren't compatible with every faucet, making the machine hard to install and prone to leaks.
