Amazon.com Review
Perfect for a small apartment or dorm room, this compact, countertop dishwasher holds four full place settings plus flatware in a separate basket. It offers two wash cycles (normal and heavy), a rinse-and-hold option, and optional drying. A beep signals the end of both washing and drying, while upper and lower spray arms provide thorough cleaning. The 1250-watt appliance shuts off when the door is opened, an alarm sounds if a problem occurs, and another automatic feature stops operation if the water overflows. Installing the dishwasher is simple: the water hose connects to a sink faucet (connector included), and another hose drains into the sink. Clad in enameled steel, the dishwasher looks great and measures just 17-1/4 inches wide, 21 inches high, and 19-3/4 inches deep. It carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 Do not buy this product May 24, 2010

Over the past 4 years, I have owned 4 of them. Each of them has failed after approximately 1 year. Only one of them failed within the warranty period. Today, the one I bought on Mar 5, 2009 has started blowing the GFCI circuit breaker. Notice that it has been about 14 1/2 months since I bought it. Do not buy this product. Yes, it is well sized for a small kitchen, but the failure rate is simply too high.

I'm single, busy grad student and I don't cook much, so a smaller counter-top dishwasher sounded like a perfect addition to my kitchen. In hindsight, I would NOT have bought it. It worked OK for about 8 months but then it started to leak, and a few days later it suddenly flooded my kitchen floor. Water was coming out from under the door like a water fall. It's an expensive product that's cheaply made. It's under warranty for 1 year and you're lucky if it lasts longer than that OR if you can get anyone to honor that warranty.
1. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. You can never get anyone on the phone, and if you do, they give you some idioic runaround about having the 'repair specialist' call you back in a few minutes. This never happens. If you buy it, you're on your own to make it work.
2. Dishwasher is huge and awkwardly shaped. It's almost as big as some full-size ones. It's too tall to fit under most standard-size apartment cabinets and too wide to sit on standard counter comfortably.
3. Weak drainage pump. Machine wouldn't drain if it's even 1 inch below counter-top level, which means you can't use a crate or separate table to place this thing on unless it's exactly as high as your kitchen counter. It also has a very short power cord, so your options for placing it are very limited.
4. Dishes are NEVER dry when the wash cycle is over.
5. Instructions are USELESS. I was lucky that I have an older faucet system and so attaching the water hose to it wasn't too difficult, but the machine won't hook up to newer faucents and may require additional parts that aren't included in the attachment kit.
6. Loading tray is very awkwardly designed. No way to stand up tall glasses without having the flip sideways.
7. Cheap parts. The whole machine is made cheaply. Parts started to bend, break, and fall apart after a few months.

We bought this product from the manufacturer's web-site, on December 11, 2009. It took almost three months to get to us.
Received the product on March 11, 2010. Came with a "quick fit" unit that goes on the fauct, no problem, but the unit is shape like a hexagone and the hose is round. So it leaks everywhere and DOES NOT WASH DISHES!!! I've ran it three time, not a single clean dish!
Calling customer service is a joke as they do not answer, you have to leave a voice mail and hope the respond soon.
Piece of junk and worthless company!!
 haier hdt18pa--first day of use review March 13, 2010

Took about 5 days to receive this ordered from amazon. I so far do not have any problems with it. my hose is a little leaky but nothing a plastic steal won't fix. Came with the faucet adapter which is a weird looking adapter but works fine, over all i like this product and the power of this product depending on which way you load the plates in you can fit up to 5 plates in it plus 3 cups and 2 bowls and about 6-10 peices of silverware. i've done 3 loads worth of dishes so far very happy with the results. the vent dry mode doesn't dry them completely but it takes only about 5 minutes of air drying to finish the job. When its finished with the cycle it beeps then turns itself off. pretty nice only thing i wish it had was a water release valve on the hose to get rid of the water presure between loads of dishes. PRODUCT WORKS GREAT. several types of loads i've done so far, a single load of cups and silverware fits about 10-12 cups. a single load of bowls about 6 , a single load of plates would fit about 7 max. if you load the plates with the rack inside the washer it is easier to fit more inside because there is a lip that hands down on the top of the doorway that makes it harder to put plates in when the rack is extended out. i'll give an update on this product if i can in the future. works perfect for my family of 3!
Beware of Haier February 23, 2010

PLEASE DON'T PURCHASE THIS DISHWASHER. It's obvious from reading reviews that dozens of people, including me, have already been disappointed and cheated by this awful company. They create terrible products for which they provide inadequate (and even unethical) support. I overlooked all the negative reviews because I was so excited about the idea of a dishwasher in my little apartment, but this machine (as well as a Haier window AC unit I just disposed of) has been a complete nightmare every day since I purchased it one year ago. I have officially declared a lifelong boycott against Haier products, and ask you to join me so that this company can get what they deserve, leaving consumers everywhere better off.
The day the dishwasher arrived, installation was difficult (which I was prepared for based on other reviews). We finally got it hooked up, loaded it and hit start, and it ran for 5 minutes, 26 seconds then quit and refused to drain. I reset it and tried again--same result. On the fourth attempt it finally worked (kind of). It went through all the cycles, but didn't drain the last two inches of water, and leaked where the hose attaches to the back.
So I figured out I need to tighten all connections before beginning a wash, and I need to manually drain the last 2 inches of water each time. I'd estimate that this method worked about one in four times--the other times it would still quit at 5 minutes, 26 seconds. I called customer services about this, and they told me that there was nothing wrong with the machine, and that I needed to reset it, which did not solve the problem. It also began leaking through the sides of the door, so I had to block that by gluing in a rubber tube.
After only 3 weeks, the dishwasher completely quit working. I received an error message every time I hit start, despite numerous attempts to reset. I called customer service, and they tried to walk me through a fix, but didn't even have information for the correct dishwasher. The representative repeated told me to push the door lock button, and became very frustrated when I told her that the door lock was a lever and not a button. She told me to "Get a f---ing clue" and hung up on me. When I called back I got a different representative and asked for a supervisor, and they transferred me to the woman who had just hung up on me! So, either they were dishonest about who the supervisor was or it was in fact the supervisor who cursed at me. I asked for her boss, and she informed me that she didn't have his phone number and he only worked Mondays from 2-6 am.
I called back the next day, and spoke with another representative who told me to mail them the electric cord and they'd mail me a new dishwasher. I sent it the same day, with delivery confirmation that it arrived there 3 days later. After a week I had still not received any communication or a new machine, so I called. They claimed not to have received the cord. When I gave them the delivery confirmation information, they suddenly located the cord and informed me my new machine would arrive in 2-4 weeks. Five weeks later, still no machine. I began calling weekly and every time they informed me it had "just been shipped" and would arrive within a few days.
SIX MONTHS and dozens of phone calls later, I finally received the new machine.
I plugged it in, and it didn't work at all. The lights on the front wouldn't even turn on, so I assume something was faulty with the electrical connection. I called customer service, and the game began again. Send them the cord, and they'll send a new machine. I commented on the challenge of disposing of the old one, and they assured me if I mailed the receipt they would reimburse me for expenses.
Two months after sending the cord and receipt, I had still received no reimbursement, no new machine. So, I began calling to request a refund based upon the fact that I had purchased the machine 9 months ago, and only used it for 3 weeks (during which time it worked about 25% of the time). I once again received a complete runaround. Every time I called to request a refund, the worker would offer to send me a replacement instead. I'd inform them that I'd been waiting for a replacement for 8 months and now require a refund. I was REPEATEDLY hung up on, I left daily messages for supervisors, which were never returned, and was actually read from their logs records of conversations that NEVER OCCURRED, during which they claimed I told them that the dishwasher had started working and I no longer needed a replacement or refund, and others when I allegedly told them that I had lost the electrical cord so couldn't mail it. I had in fact already mailed it and repeatedly sent them the delivery confirmation information.
I hit the one-year anniversary of the original date of purchase last week and, quite against my better judgement and character, and simply out of complete exhaustion and infuriation, I have given up. I swallowed the loss, wrote Haier a letter of complaint, and gave up the fight.
PLEASE DON'T REPEAT MY MISTAKE.
