I had been looking at similar countertop dishwashers for a few weeks after seeing one a friend bought when this one came up on sale. With 15% off listed price + another $50 coupon on checkout, I thought I would bite the bullet. Glad I did.
I opted for free delivery and was expecting it 5 days later; first pleasant surprise it arrived in 2 days. The box had some ripped corners and damage on the outside, but the dishwasher itself was fine and in good order - packed well and not a scratch on it. I also received a message from the company right after it arrived at my door letting me know about the warranty and how to contact them if I had questions (nice touch!!!).
Setting it up was a breeze. I have an older house/smaller kitchen, so a full sized dishwasher or even portable was a no-go. My pull down faucet wasn't compatible with countertop DW connections either, so having a built-in water tank was the perfect solution! The ecozy fits snuggly under my cupboards (I measured three times before buying to be sure) and sits perfectly in a dead-space corner of my counter.
If you have realistic expectations this machine is great for a single person or couple, especially if you have tired of washing dishes like I have. The capacity is actually quite surprising; I have managed to get in 3 full sized plates, 2 small side plates, 2 small bowls, 6 (each) knives/forks/spoons, 2 small coffee mugs and a small drinking glass on the upper shelf, AND 2 full size glasses IN ONE LOAD. Note: it will accommodate 11" plates on an angle to clear the upper spray arm, but best to have 10" plates to maximize use. You will also have to play with the placement a few times to get it right, but once you've nailed that down, its quite impressive on what it will hold. I do still wash my larger pots/pans and bigger items by hand, but man-oh-man this little fella has been great for the other dishes.
The ecozy takes dishwasher pods, powder, and gel; I opted to buy the pods and have had no problem with them dissolving, and the dishes have come out sparkling clean each time. I run the eco cycle for 59 minutes + another hour for drying time. The noise level of the machine isn't bad at all, and I can watch tv in the adjacent living room while running the dishwasher with no problem. I also like that this has a window so you can see the machine cleaning the dishes throughout the cycle (I oddly have found myself checking in on the little beast from time to time while its cleaning, so either have way too much time on my hands in retirement, or need a few new hobbies, BUT, its kinda cool to watch IT do the work rather then me!!!!). I drain the water directly into my sink (drainage hose comes with it), but the suction cup that holds the hose in place against the side of the sink is finicky and can pop free, so I recommend placing a weighted object on top of the hose to keep it in place, just in case.
I have only had the ecozy countertop dishwasher for a little over a week now, but so far so good. I'm giving it a full 5 stars as it has definitely met my expectations and then some. I recommend this product.
