18" Compact Portable Dishwasher Setup and Demo - Kenmore Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 дек 2017
- Owning a dishwasher is very helpful, and even in small spaces, a portable model is a great option. Here's a demo of my portable Kenmore dishwasher, which works great, and saves time and effort.
Model #: 587.17252200
Here is a link to a faucet adapter that works with my generic faucet. This is the standard size for most of these types of portable appliances, but doesn't fit every faucet out there.. The old aerator un-threads from the faucet, and this one replaces it.

You did an excellent job showing us how to use it. Your video was very informative and helpful. Thank you.
Tank you so much. I have had real issues with washing dishes by hand. This video made me feel much better about a portable dishwasher. Thanks again, you made my decision much easier.
Thank you so much for this helpful video. I live alone in a tiny house, so I never thought I would bother with a dishwasher, but I am noticing that with age, my eyesight isn't what it used to be, and I am finding that I miss more and more smudges, blobs, whatever, so I think this is the answer.
Excellent video, you did a good job showing this appliance off to it's best! I actually owned a similar dishwasher years ago, when I would have needed to remove cabinets to put in a regular dishwasher, and it did an excellent job! And it also seconds as extra countertop space when cooking or entertaining! And yes, I too, loved my portable dishwasher! One thing you neglected to mention though, is that they suggest you run your water in the faucet until it's hot before starting the cycle, it saves on energy heating the water with the washer. But still, great video!
This was an excellent video! I was raised washing dishes by hand, and thought no dishwasher could outdo me, but you have totally sold me on a unit like this. Thanks!
Great video... I'm actually looking to purchase a portable dishwasher and thus was extremely helpful to see the loading and cleaning of the dishes. And I agree with your statement about not understanding friends that have dishwashers and don't use them! I especially hate when parents have dishwashers but make kids wash by hand.... They think it wastes water/electric. Not only are they wrong as dishwashers use less water than handwashing but dishwashers clean well and sanitize on right setting. Anyway can't wait to get my dishwasher!!! BTW... Love the Mario cup!!!
Thanks for the video!! Really explicit and it shows the full process that we have to do
I have the same flowered bowl. What I like the best about the dishwasher is you can store the dirty dishes in it until you need to run it and not have them covering the countertops.
Thank you for this video you answer all my questions about the dishwasher I just got🙂
wow I had no idea they made portable dishwashers. I've been needing one for years! Thanks for the video! your laugh makes me happy! lol
I have had one of these for over 15 years. Also relatively easy to repair and parts available. Thanks for sharing!
do you need to turn the faucet off right away with these?
@@tylersgrignoli9277 No. Leaving the faucet on while the dishwasher is onnot a problem.
Great video! I just ordered one. I can’t wait to get it!👍
Thanks for watching! They're a lifesaver. I hope you like yours!
You give a good tutorial. Thank you very much. I hope I can find a 18” . Best wishes
Ann Pender they sell them on amazon!!
Thx. Needed this bc I’m looking to my a mini dishwasher and was curious how good they are
Amazing video!! Thank you!!
You are sooo cute and I loved your video! Thank you for helping me decide to purchase one for my apartment!
Thanks DeLoris! I appreciate it!
So helpful n great tips
Thanks for watching!
Hands down your dishes are cleaner with a dish washer and I really like the olive colored plates and the bowl
I had one of these in my first apartment but I think it was a whirlpool. I never had a problem with it
It worked very well. Being put to use in another home now. My only real complaint with it was that it didn't have a separate impeller for the top rack, so it had to be loaded accordingly to clean everything.
I have a new (layaway from Sears, paid off in October) Kenmore made by Frigidaire (Electrolux), which now has two separate spray impellers, and has a stainless steel interior. TouchPad controls. 160° for the water heater so hot water is very hot. And it does clean them well. And I use all natural dishwasher detergent and rinse aid.
Awesome! I'll have to try all natural dishwasher detergent and see how it works.
@@VacTech1 I use Seventh Generation, which you can get at any supermarket or Target. It cleans very well.
The only problem I have encountered is if you let coffee cups, or tea cups, sit, they are stained and will not come completely clean, especially if they are white. This was a problem with our built-in Kitchen Aid dishwasher as well. Otherwise, the Kenmore dishwasher I own really goes beyond what I expected, and cleans just as well as a full size, built in dishwasher.
@@VacTech1 Mrs. Meyer's has dishwasher tabs that are basically natural, have used them, and they clean very good as well. The lavender scent is light, but all important cleaning power is very good. I use all of her cleaning products and detergents because they are plant 🌿 based, environmentally friendly and with the detergents, no allergic reaction, unlike Tide and their ilk, which I cannot use because of sensitivity to their toxic chemicals.
@@frothe42 I will look into these products, thanks!
If you need a sake partner I'm here in Queens! Lol great video
So I’m wondering if there’s a way to extend the hose that attaches to sink with out completely replacing it? I need it to be about 2’ longer so the machine can sit beside my sink vs directly in front of it due to limited space.
Thank you
I just brought me a dishwasher GE Portable can't wait for it to be delivered so so so over washing dishes
Whirlpool makes Kenmore appliances
so now i'm looking for a used one to buy but none in my area. Charlotte, NC. don't wanna spend 400 on a brand new one lol.
They should make dishwasher like that in my country.
Where and how do you add the rinse agent? I finally got one of these on Facebook marketplace!
I had this diswasher, built in... and it lasted from 2002 -2017! We always pre-rinsed dishes very well.
Wow! Mine is still going strong. Hope it can get me by until I have a built-in.
@@VacTech1 completely different to UK dishwashers. If you go on my channel there is a video of ours
Model #?
Prerinsing is the reason dishwasher do not last longer than they do. The detergent, if there's no food residue to eat, will attack the plastic components and cause leaks, seized motors and so on. Just scrape food residue and use good quality detergent, adding a little amount to the prewash cup. Remember to clean filters regularly and you'll get a longer lasting machine
apart from very well done video, you have tons of nice stuff! your decanters, green bowl with a matching plates are very nice , but I particularly liked your cute Mario cup :)
Thanks! That was a gift from a friend.
@@VacTech1
You're welcome!
there is one more thing I'd like to thank you - for CC your video.
As a H-o-H person, I really appreciate it. Otherwise I wouldn't understand a word of it :)
Kudos to you for doing that!
@@VacTech1 I never rinse our dishes before they go in ours like I say if you want to see our dishwasher it's on my channel completely different from us ones
Remember some detergent in the prewash cup
I love dishwashers.
Hello! Just found your channel and love it. Love your reviews. Thanks for it! You did great explaining everything. However, I do have a question, how long are the washing cycles? Thanks!
That's a great question! I think the main cycle was about 2.5 hours total. Pretty typical wash/dry times on this model.
Thanks! 😊
Thanks for the video. Do you Happen to know what brand and maybe model number faucet you have for this portable dishwasher? Have you ever had any leaks while using the dishwasher with this faucet?
Sorry, I don’t know what faucet I have. I just got a generic one from a hardware store that has an aerator you can unscrew from the bottom, to fit the universal dishwasher adapter.
Rare issues with leaks. If I do, I can usually just adjust the dishwasher connector, or reconnect it, and it’ll stop dripping.
Is it an option to permanently site your dishwasher where it's stored (i.e. beside the fridge) and run longer inlet and outlet hoses? If its position was swapped with the fridge, that'll bring it right next to the existing counter / base cabinet. I understand there's no major problems with inlet hose lengths as long as water pressure is adequate, and outlet hoses can be a max of 12 feet. That would save having to wheel up, hook up the water and power each time, though it'll be a couple of steps between the dw and the sink if anything really filthy needs a pre-rinse etc.
That could happen, and maybe you can make that a reality. Godspeed, Lem Tay!
What kind of hose do you use i need to buy one
Are you using hot water from the faucet?
Do you know the size of your faucet aerator?? I have tried every single one I can find and the dishwasher will not fit any of them. I’ve wasted so much money. I have the exact dishwasher you have
Wonderful demonstration! Quick question: around 7:25, 7:30, you mentioned that you don't run your portable dishwasher when you're not home. But you didn't finish explaining why. How come you don't run it unattended?
Thanks for watching! Just in case something were to happen while I'm not around, I don't like to leave it connected to the sink with the water running, when the dishwasher isn't doing a cycle. For instance, leaking water at the faucet, or the adapter popping off during use, (which only happened once because I didn't connect it correctly). I'll often turn it on and leave if I know I'm going to return within a few hours, but just in case, I don't like to leave it unattended all day while I'm at work.
Thank you so much for this great video! May I know where to buy the faucet adapter?
Thanks for watching! They sell them at most hardware stores.
Vac Tech Vac Tech, I bought so many of them, none of them fit! Mine faucet is delta, I see your faucet is exact same one as mine, could you take a picture of your adapter and send it to me? Thanks so much! Dongdongma@gmail.com
@@shannonwu9642 I added a link in the video description to the adapter that will work with my kitchen faucet. I hope this helps!
What is the diameter of your plates? I keep seeing reviews for portable dishwashers and no one mentions how large their plates actually are. I have larger plates (12 inch diameter) and I am looking for a portable that can fit them.
That's a great question! I had to measure my plates to get that answer. Most of my plates are 11 inches wide, and they fit.
How clean the filter no filter water don't drain out
Thanks. Nobody else bothered to show the waste water coming back and going down the drain.
Could you please tell me the model number of this dishwasher. I bought one just like it and it is now leaking. The previous owner removed the labels so I cannot order the correct pump seal. Thank you, Nicole. BTW, great video!
587.17252200
Do you need to turn the faucet off right away with these? Or could you run it overnight and turn faucet off in the morning?
You could do that, but I personally only run it when I'm home and awake, just in case anything were to happen to the connection. Once connected, it wont leak water unless there's an issue, and you just turn it off when you're done.
Looking for one so tired of doing them by hand
My biggest question was about keeping the water running during the entire wash cycle -
Can you clarify, do I have to keep the water running?
Good question! You keep the water running, but the dishwasher only uses the water when needed. It’s very efficient with water use.
@@VacTech1 okay thank you!! I’ll have to google the technology on this because my mind is a bit blown.
I don’t know how it doesn’t just keep flowing…
PS. I also asked about the red button. Can you say a little bit more about how I use this beginning to end please?!?
Bought an adapter to put on my faucet and it didn't fit the dishwasher. Suggestion for brand and size of adapter?
Well I would just make sure the adapter is made for dishwashers. I got mine at Lowes, Home Depot near me didnt carry any. The packaging should specify that it's for dishwashers. They're generic.
@@VacTech1 I tried the one from Lowes and it didn't fit. I have a Kenmore but it's an 18 inch dishwasher
Did you ever find one to fit? I’m having this issue right now. I’ve bought every single adapter I can find and the dang dishwasher don’t fit them
Do you have to turn your sink on when the dishwasher is running
Yes. You turn it on, set it to the hottest setting, and leave it on during the entire cycle. The dishwasher refills as needed, and doesn't waste any extra water.
When do you turn off your faucet ?
When it's finished running. You leave it on during the entire cycle. It only fills as needed.
Do you keep the faucet on the entire cycle? When do you turn the water from the faucet off?
Yes you leave it on during the entire cycle.
@@VacTech1 oh thank you so much! So when the entire cycle is over and the dishes are done - you just shut off the tap (?) I’m sorry to be asking, I’m just running mine for the first time and I’m scared of flooding, lol. (Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!)
@@MyAtomicLover yes you just shut the water off after the cycle. The faucet adapter should have a red button on it (or some kind of button), and you hold that to relieve the built-up water pressure, then you can remove the adapter. I hope this helps!
@@VacTech1 again - THANK YOU! This anxious lady is so grateful for the direction! Thank you!!!!
@@MyAtomicLover hope you like your dishwasher! They sure are helpful to have around.
Washes and dried???
When does it start draining? It’s been on for 10 minutes and I’m worried it’s gonna explode 😭😂
It drains every 10-20 mins, several times throughout the cycle. The dishwasher doesn’t fill up with much water at a time, so no worries about explosions haha.
oh gosh ok thank you 😂😭@@VacTech1
Model #please?! Looking to have a manual on hand .
Hello! I added the model number to the video description.
Good job, but you shouldn't put anything over the tines as you did on the top rack with the cuos. This machine has 2 level washing action with the center tower that comes uo and sprays the dishes in the upper rack. You can find a owners manual for the machine on the Internet that will tell you everything you need to know about your new machine, good luck with it.
You forgot to add detergent for the pre wash cycle.
My dishwasher is at work right now. She'll be home around 5ish.
Bryan Adams didn’t you learn anything from your mother as to how to be a decent human being, you let men folks down. 👎🏼
You are awful.
This is the last of the good ones. The new ones are totally garbage.
You should not leave ANY appliance running when you aren't home except the refrigerator or freezers.
Do the right thing and DON'T buy a Danby. Breaks down after 3.5 years. What garbage.
