The Best Portable Dishwasher

Some owners have noted in reviews that the racks on the 18-inch models are laid out in such a way that they don’t hold many dishes, particularly big ones like pots. Many of these complaints seem to come from owners who are comparing the GE model’s racks with the racks on 18-inch dishwashers that they had previously owned. It could be true that the layout in the GE portable dishwasher is less conducive to holding certain types of dishes in that the dimensions are the same but the contours are different from those of other 18-inch models. Or it could be that the owners haven’t figured out how to adjust their dish-loading strategy to make the best use of the space. For what it’s worth, reviews for Danby and SPT models do have fewer complaints about the rack capacity, so if the layout seems like a dealbreaker, you could opt for one of those models. Or, you could consider a full-width, 24-inch portable instead.
