A month ago I moved into a new apartment that came with a WCI-made Frigidaire machine. Which also means i'm SELLING MY 5 MONTH OLD DANBY countertop dishwasher, if anyone's interested. So I took my digital camera and a flashlight, wrapped the camera in a ziplock bag, and ran the machine with the camera on. I was having issues with sediment stuck in glasses on the top rack. So i took my dremel tool to the wash tower and enlarged the holes. I think I have the results I wanted. Take a look! CLICK HERE TO GO TO johnb300m's LINK | ||

Interested in Danby I am interested in the countertop Danby. Did it do a good job? How much do you want for it? | ||

the frigidaire has pretty weak spray to begin with. it's not a very good dishwasher. it is a quiet one though, but that's cuz it's weak. as you see, the tower has barely enough pressure to hold it erect. i'm sure the enlarging of the holes made the pressure drop a bit, but not too much. it did help with more water getting to the top...but not completely. crud still gets stuck in a lot of the glasses. the timer's messed up on it though, it stalls in the dry cycle. so the apartment maintenance guys are gonna replace it in a week or so with a ROPER unit. anyone know anything about those Roper machines. i know they're quite basic, no macerator, hypothetical filtering system. i'll have a vid of the Roper as soon as we get the machine. yes i have to work on my lighting and angles a bit. DANBY yes i'm selling my Danby countertop dishwasher. Its for sale for $100.00 or best offer. Shipping is obviously on the buyer. I'd rather it be picked up by someone in the northern illinois region. but beggars can't be choosers about buyers, i just want to get the unit off my hands. it does a fantastic job at normal everyday dishes. pots and pans need to be prepped a bit before washing. hope that answered your questions. don't hesitate to inquire more. | ||

Updated Frigidaire footage
I updated the footage with better lighting video, however the 2nd half is old footage with the poor lighting. whatever, enjoy. Also, that RUD4000 Roper dishwasher I think is the exact unit i'm gonna get. I know it's got the lousy tower, but I know it'll be more powerful too, hense it's LOUDNESS. As impressive as the Frigidaire video is, the water force from that tower just doesn't blow water hard enough into the glasses, and they stay all cruddy. i've played with 'em by angling them steeper toward the middle, and it's helped. But you can only put half the glasses in there now. Yeah, i'm actually antisipating the crappy Roper. Does anyone know how the "Soil Settler" filter works in the Ropers? Under the tub screens is some kind of Settler chamber. How does this darn thing filter food soil? I was guessing it blows a fraction of the water off the pump into a centrifugal force chamber, separating soil similarly to a cyclonic vacuum cleaner? Make sense? No? IDK. I'm only going to be in this apartment for one more year so it's not worth messing with the machine. I asked about getting a different machine, and the maintenance guy said no, because the apartment association orders the exact same machines in bulk. they get the cheapest ones since tentants screw the dishwasers up all the time. From a business standpoint it makes sense, i'd do the same thing. However if i was staying here much longer, i would try to hunt down a unit of my own and swap the apt. unit out and put mine in. i'd look for a 2 sprayer KitchenAid or i'd go out and buy a standard tub Maytag; our stores here still sell them.
