I was very apprehensive about this but day 2 and I cannot fault it. I live alone and it suits me. Don’t get me wrong it’s not exactly massive inside but it’s not meant to be. A days washing up for 1 or maybe 2 it will easily do. Everything comes out clean and dry too.
We love this dishwasher! We have a small kitchen and this fits on the counter without taking up too much space. Cleans well and it’s so easy to use. Very happy with this purchase!
This is currently sitting on our kitchen countertop but I plan to move it under the sink soon.
Set up is really easy, we use half a dishwasher tablet that is perfect for nice clean plates and the size of the unit.
the unit is well made and has a nice well-looking appearance, but I still feel that the price is quite high as you can get full-size dishwashers for less than the cost of this unit but I guess you pay for the compactness.
We are a household of 3, me, my partner, and my young daughter and we use this once a day and seems perfect for us. i do not miss washing dishes and enjoy the time i get back from this unit.
I developed an illness that effects my mobility and how I do daily tasks. My kitchen layout was very difficult to get a full under counter dishwasher in. This is a god send. Looks good, easy to install and cleans your dishes sparkling. It is more than value for money – it does the job of standard dishwasher without taking up the room and expense of a plumber to install pipes / fittings.
I have talked more friends and relatives into this item – because it is truely a dream in a box for people that hate dishes and have small kitchens. No issue with delivery either was here within a week of order over christmas period. Very impressed.
As someone who lives on her own I always struggled cause no one bedroom flat has a dishwasher. So this little one came to save me. It doesn’t fit big pots but it already takes a lot of the load of plates, cups and cutlery.
So easy to instal. Comes with accessories to make the use easier. You need around 4 full jugs of water for each use, which is less than I use for washing it by hand.
Thoughts so far.
Easily fits in dinner ware for five of us. So five plates, flatware, a couple of bowls and odds or ends.
For a single person or couple, you could easily fit pots and pans, or three meals worth of dining ware.
For any family larger, this will help with dishes, but obviously wont replace all handwashing.
The cleaning is excellent, even on the fast wash, no complaints there at all.
I will be buying a longer draining hose though, the one it comes with is a touch too short for where I want to out the dishwasher, and the suction hook that holds the pipe to the side of the sink isnt very sturdy, so I’ll probably replace that as well.
Over all though, I’m really pleased.
Its a neat bit of kit, easily moved, needs no hook up (although it is an option), and I’m a big fan of cutting my handwashing down by half.
This is a very good machine especially for a single person in a small flat, very very easy to install and looks great on the work top, I was surprised that it didn’t need rinse aid (we couldn’t find a place for it to pour into and there’s no mention of it in the booklet so I made sure my son bought ‘all in one’ capsules, brilliant machine.
Took several months to decide whether or not to get, finally took the plunge and not disappointed. Never used a dishwasher before, but as long as you read the instructions it’s easy to use without plumbing in. I am very impressed with how clean everything comes out, even with speed wash. Only had this a few days, but already enjoying not having to wash up myself.
Would highly recommend this.
I live alone so this is ideal for me, also liked that it has a built in water tank. However I will be having it plumbed in as it’s a pain filling it by hand every wash.
This is just WOW! I was a little bit skeptical about buying one but finally me and my wife decided to buy one. It works like a charm and saves me a lot of time. No need for plumbing and fits everywhere you need it! No water source? No problem.. just use its tank and you good to go! Very user friendly and a beautifull design! Is a bit small but I guess that is the purpose for people that have small kitchens.
I’d lived with a built-in dishwasher previously, and then spent years without, and having to hand-wash.
We’re a 2 adult household, for context, and both work full-time.
Easily both my partner and I’s least favourite chore, and though we take turns, by the time we’d both procrastinated and not had the time to wash up, there would be a weeks worth of dishes piling up, which would take forever to wash and then inevitably just sit out on the countertop rather than being put away.
No more!
When this machine arrived yesterday, I got through the weeks worth of dishes in about 6 of the 30 minute cycles. Some people might say this is excessive, when it might’ve taken 30 minutes to hand-wash them instead, but anyone who knows, knows, and those that don’t, don’t! I’m greatly looking forward to just running this little dishwasher once daily from now on, and never hand-washing another dish again (certain items withstanding!)!
Now, it will fit large dinner plates up to 28cm max, but only 5 of them before it impedes the water-spinning-thing (scientific!) at the top of the machine. If your large plates are 27cm or smaller, then you can pack the whole thing full.
It’ll also fit small saucepans, and long cooking spoons, spatulas, and kitchen knives, if they’ve placed diagonally across the top of whatever else is in there.
On an average day, we’ll use about 3 mugs, 2 glasses, 2 large plates, 2 small plates, 3 knives, 3 forks, and 2 teaspoons – all of which will fit comfortably in this dishwasher, as pictured. If we’ve cooked dinner, then a 2nd load will fit the small cooking pot, any utensils, a small chopping board, and a large cheese grater (surprisingly!).
I’m expecting to continue hand-washing baking trays, large chopping boards, large pots & pans, and probably mixing bowls; but for a day of average use, this machine is absolutely perfect.
The fact it doesn’t need to be plumbed is a weight off my mind, as a person who doesn’t like things too complicated, and the display and settings are simple and easy. We’ve used the quick cycle, and the 58 minute cycle so far, and both have been comparable, so think we’ll just stick to the quick cycle for most things. It occupies the same surface area as the draining board in our kitchen, which is where it’ll live unless something needs hand-washing, in which case it’ll shimmy up – the very long outlet hose allows for that!
It was a bit of a shock to see it sitting in the kitchen at first – somehow you maybe expect it to be smaller – but honestly I’m just so pleased by it that I don’t begrudge it the space one bit. It’s going to be of far more use that our ill-fated bread maker, which was of a similar size!
I can’t recommend it highly enough for households generating a similar amount of daily dishes. If I’d have known that there was such a thing as a tabletop dishwasher which didn’t require plumbing, I would’ve bought one years ago!
I love this dishwasher! It’s not as big as I thought it was going to be but the years of playing Tetris have paid off and I have been able to stack it to get all
I need into it. It cleans to a high level, it even managed to strip some caked on debris from a baking tray. Perfect for my flat! Great device. Highly recommend.
This dishwasher is a lifesaver for me. I love cooking, but I hate doing the dishes, and in my new rent, there’s no dishwasher. While I still need to do the cookware by hand, this saves a lot of time (and potentially water) by doing the rest for me. I bought powdered detergent, so it’s easier to add a lower amount.
I LOVE this dishwasher. Plug it in, tube in the sink and off you go. Sometimes it’s on twice a day because there are three people in my house. When it’s just me it’s only on once. Love the touch sceen buttons. Great variety of settings (normally use 30 minute and the 1.55 wash). Everything lovely and clean. Love it.
Fits ideally on my worktop, it cleans brillant, i do not use the intensive programme much as it works great on a rapid wash, there are two of us so i use the rapid to clean the breakfast stuff in the morning and the rapid wash in the evening for dinner plates unless i have done a roast dinner then i use the 58 min cycle.
Very happy with it, i have it connected to my sink tap with a gardena push on fitment, no leaks, no fuss and can still use my coldwater tap when not in use.
I’ve only had this for 2 days but it is brilliant so I am washing everything! I struggle with getting my washing up done so if you have a disability or suffer any kind of mental illness I promise this is a god send. Wish I had bought it sooner.
Single guy, that has recently brought a flat. Used to feel guilty about laying around, watching tv and letting the dishes build up, not anymore! Now I can be as as lazy as I want whilst the pots are washed for me. Incredible machine!
Great appliance does exactly what it says easy to use and a life changer for us after hand washing everything for years. Big saver on time and quality is also great.
Could’ve been cheaper but do not regret the purchase!
A fantastic dishwasher – though its small it works as well as a full size !
No plumbing needed – just plug it in and put the drain hose into the sink.
My glasses and cutlery are sparkling again like new !
A total Godsend !
I use the dishwasher every day. Even without tablets it does the job (when I forget to buy). Is working much more quietly than my washing machine. I think I’m using less water to wash my plates this way as well.
I have to say..why do I need a small dishwasher when I’m a couple or a single person?
I have no words! Omg I hate washing dishes, this desk top washer can be plumbed in or sit on your bench and it cleans the dishes like a pro! Omg my glasses are absolutely spotless!
Great build quality, easy to set up! And looks cool too.
Amazing!
We don’t really have room for a full size dishwasher without a complete re-shuffle of the kitchen. This unit is small enough to fit on one of the kitchen sides. We’re just running the outlet into the sink, and rather than drilling a hole through the surface we’re just filling up the internal tank.
Everything so far has come out very clean. It’s compact, so you can’t fit much in, but that to be expected. It’s definitely enough for two people though.
The only fight is who has to load and un-load it now!
I’ve never had a dishwasher before and both me and my partner struggle with doing dishes. This has been the perfect solution for us. It handles dishes for two people perfectly- we run it once or twice a day and haven’t had a pile up of dishes since we got it. Havent gotten it plumbed in yet only filling it with the jug.
Only note: don’t use dishwasher tablets! They have far too much detergent for this little machine and end up leaving a residue behind. Make sure to get the powder!
It’s a great product if you live alone. It would probably take me a week to fill a big dishwasher so this is the perfect size. I’d end up picking things out because I need to use them before I get chance to put it on. I’ve only used the 58 minute wash so far which has been excellent on each wash. Easy to install and easy to use.
Might struggle with a family as its only small.
But it does a good job dishes and glasses come out very clean and clear..
I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now and run 4 loads though it and I’ve even tried to push it and let some sauce and bit of scrambled egg dry and stick to the plate. And still came out spot less..
Even though i normally rise stuff before I put it in.
Just remember to set the washer up properly there a setting for how hard your water is in your area. And the usual stuff like sait (need to measure out sait not just fill it) and dishwasher soap.
But yes would recommend I’m really happy with mine.
I’ve had this a couple of months now, and it’s brilliant! I live alone and have a tiny kitchen in my flat. It sits on my draining board, and I’ve got it draining into the sink. I was hoping it would fit on my bench under my cupboards, but it was just too big. I don’t really feel that’s an issue though.
It cleans very well. I use the 58 minute cycle all the time and haven’t had any problems.
Niggles/things to note: Yes, standard size plates fit fine, but they need to be round! I had square ones and they just didn’t fit. However, I imagine most people’s are round, so not worth marking down for. Also, quite obviously really, large pans won’t fit.
There is nothing to dislike about this dishwasher. It’s perfect for the 2 of us. So easy to set up and use. The control panel is clear and bright and touch sensitive so no need to press buttons or stab at it. Should’ve bought this product years ago! Wonderful
It’s good for a single or small family , not for us though. Convenient to use because you can fill the tank and no need for installation but need to return, we have a big family. Got a bigger one of the same brand and still using it. It’s very useful.
I bought this because I have had a stroke and needed a dishwasher. But I also knew I couldn’t bend down for a usual plumbed in model. This is so brilliant. As a one person household, this is all the capacity that I need and the cleaning is EXCELLENT. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
I’ve never been able to fit a dishwasher into my small kitchen – even this one doesn’t fit in the space it needs to be in to be able to be plumbed in. But that’s where this shines, as it doesn’t NEED to be plumbed in.
It’s cleaned everything I’ve thrown at it. I usually schedule it to wash overnight, making use of cheap electric, and the noise has never woke me up.
If I had one gripe, I wish it had “proper” buttons instead of touch sensitive ones, but honestly, it’s one of the best things I’ve bought in a while.
Overall a good desktop dish washer. The only gripe is that the salt symbol has never gone off despite adding the appropriate amount of salt. It cleans well and is conveniently situated on top on my kitchen work top next to my sink.
Have had this dishwasher for almost 2 weeks now, and I have to say it’s one of the best items I have ever purchased from Amazon. It is so easy to use, and has helped me no end as I have walking and standing difficulties, but with this all the hard work and standing has been removed. So far every thing has come out very clean and shinny. If I was falsed to complain about any thing, the only thing I can think of is the plunger that holds the pipe in the sink is useless, but I have managed to secure it with a sink chain, (that is being nit picking though)
I have always wanted a dishwasher since having our first child 8 yrs ago, but we can’t fit a standalone one in our kitchen. When I saw this one, I was nervous as it is quite expensive (you pay for the convenience after all) but this has been a total blessing and has certainly helped me keep my sanity! Both myself and hubby have to work full time, which makes it tough keeping up with washing up, when we have 2 children who are always hungry! Lol
We can fit our 27cm dinner plates in and everything comes out spotless. We highly recommend.
I bought this table top dishwasher as I am fed up with washing up as I work full time, there is only 2 adults and a bunny living in our flat and I am allergic to rubber gloves but find I need to wash up twice daily and haven’t had nice manicured nails due to having to wash up for ages so took the plunge and purchased this dishwasher based on all the reviews and I am so pleased I did, it was so easy to set up and I have it so the waste pipe is in the sink. You can get quite a lot of crockery in the dishwasher and it really washes well, I can’t believe I have waited so long for this little baby! Couldn’t be without it now, haven’t washed up for 3 days now and saves a lot of time, I have also fitted in a manicure and have lovely painted nails!!! Well worth the money, sits neatly on the worktop in my kitchen and I am really happy, cleans so well and everything comes out squeaky clean x
It was important for me that this had a tank as I am currently renting and so can’t plumb in a dishwasher and this fit that and cleans the dishes well even on a Rapid wash. This was great help as shortly after I got it I had a family member stay with me for a while after their hospital visit and this saved me from spending lots of time doing washing up 😀
While on the expensive side I believe overall it is worth it if you are renting in a place without a dishwasher due to the flexibility of having the water tank (so filling as needed with every wash) and the amount of time saved if you live alone or with 1 other perso
This little dishwasher has saved all the ‘who’s doing the dishes’ arguments 🙂 and is super fabulous for small kitchens and small spaces. Holds around 4-5 plates, 2/3 glasses and 2-3 mugs with 8-10 cutlery pieces and all comes out shiny and clean. Love this. Would have bought it years ago had it existed!
This has really helped us to get through the dishes every day. We use it table top and fill with water using the jug (not plumbed in). However it’s limited in size – so we can’t use it for pans or some utensils. It took a while to try out the cycles. Eco works well, as does glass. The “rapid” less so. But it is impressive, it can take off dried porridge. Due to small size we use half a dishwashing tablet and some rinse aid in every wash (having filled the salt well upon purchase – the low salt warning hasn’t happened yet). We’ve had this over a month and run it most days, sometimes twice and it’s working really well.
I have never had a dishwasher before – but my fingers are getting weak and I struggle more and more to do basic housework. This is a great help for me, manage to put slightly more than indicated (and bigger plates too) , and is better washed than if I did it myself.
Probably the best buy I got in ages.
I absolutely love this dishwasher, I have had it on almost each day for about 2 weeks and it’s just brilliant! My only comment is because I choose to top it up with water each time, I’m quite short so I have to go on my tippy toes to get the water in! But everything else is great, it washes everything super well and fits everything we need to for just 2 people each day!
So simple to use, just fill it up plug it in and you’re off. Love that I can fit my larger plates in. Very spacious inside. I can easily get 4 big plates three cups amd cutlery in. Lots of different setting. And omg it cleans so well. I would absolutely recommend this
I love that I don’t have to do the dam dishes! It’s small and won’t fit both my cups and plates in but it does the job I don’t want to do , can’t fit a full size in so this is perfect 3 kids and me
I was hesitant about getting one of these for the longest time. I live alone, how much work can a dishwasher really save? It turns out a whole heap!
This machine was really easy to install, I’ve got on my counter next to my sink, it comes with a plastic tray that helps with pouring the water in. After filling with salt and using a dishwasher tablet my washing comes out super shiny and cleaner than I ever could have done by hand.
This is great little dishwasher & easy to plumb in to the hot water supply (although longer hoses might be needed). It should fit into an average cupboard under your worktop.
Usually only one load per day is needed for the 2 of us. It has lots of settings but I find the 30 minute rinse setting more than capable. It even handled caked on stuffing in a ceramic baking tray from the Sunday roast which is normally quite difficult to get off by hand.
Excellent little dishwasher, does a fabulous job.
Easy to use. No plumbing in necessary.
The only slight negative is that it doesn’t fit large dinner plates – so I use smaller ones x
It washes everything we have thrown at it, even dried on oats porridge bowl that have been sitting for a couple of hours.
I’ve had it for 24 hours and I love it.
Most difficult part of setting up is lifting it, it’s not a full dishwasher but is cumbersome. Apart from that, set up was dead easy.
Using it is awesome; I was expecting door faults and leaks – but so far so good! I’ve done a set of pans, plates, etc. All come out sparkling regardless whether you put in hot or cold water.
I wish I got it sooner.
Really happy with the dishwasher which is easy to set up and use. I have it sitting on worktop and fill the water manually which is no problem as machine indicates when it is full. I particularly like the water tray which prevents spillage when filling. It makes a good job of cleaning dishes and cutlery. I find it will take my day’s dishes so saves on water usage and it’s nice to leave the machine to do the work! I regard it as a very good purchase.
It’s a very useful thing to have in your household it may not put a load of stuff in but at least you know that you can trust it to clean things I would recommend it for small families.
Good item does a good job, could be a little bigger my dinner plates are a tight fit.
It works well and takes plenty of dishes etc for two people washing once a day. One detail missing from the instructions is that when you fill the onboard water tank you have to keep filling until it beeps, It won’t start otherwise, and the water tank is full right to the top before it beeps.
Trying to make my life easier and thought…why not a dishwasher? I didn’t want to bother with plumbing it in so this little gem is perfect. It really makes my life easier and no dishes in the dish pan or laying around. I probably turn it on every 3 days average. It is so easy setting up and it is no problem pouring the water in it. Love it….
Bought this as we didnt have space for a full sized dishwasher and hated doing to washing up. The unit was easy to install with easy to follow instructions in the manual.
Great at cleaning even the most soiled plates on the hygein setting so we use this setting every time.
A standard size dishwasher tablet is too big so we cut them in half so we get 2 wash cycles from 1 tablet.
Fits most plate sizes just be careful not to put large plates directly under the top sprayer as it can stop it from doing its job.
Overall I great buy but maybe a little expensive for what it is.
Had this now couple of months thought I’d try for while before reviewing. Nothing to dislike about this its the best have ever had . Drain pipe in sink stays put .and fill with 4 jugs water super easy .cleans excellent on all programmes. Love the fact it takes bigger plates and my pans .Even my pot from my ninja. Super machine. Thankyou.
I’ve been using this for a few weeks now and honestly I absolutely love it. It was a little confusing to set up, but once we’d figured it out it was fine. It’s a game changer for us and I couldn’t live without it now. It’s the perfect size for two people (plus x2 cats) and fits a generous amount of dishes in. It does require quite a bit of water and it’s a bit of a faff having to fill it up, but I really don’t mind doing it, that would be my only downside.
I love it! It works great for me and my husband. We no longer have dishes piling up before getting around to washing them by hand. We are renting and found this super easy to use with the water tank. We run it daily and couldn’t be happier.
Edit: we bought our machine in August 2021 and then in Jan 2022 had to return it as it was showing E1 errors and not working anymore. The technicians at Comfee were really very helpful. There was no long waiting time to speak to someone and it was efficiently sorted out within one phone call. Great service! Amazon sorted out our return really quickly as well. Even with the issue on our previous machine, I was so happy with it and the customer service that we’ve bought the same model again. It was just a fluke.
And it really has exceeded my expectations.
It looks good, it feels really well made and the bits you take apart to clean or add dishwasher salt etc are all well made.
I’ve also genuinely never had to use anything other than the rapid cycle which isn’t supposed to dry it but any glass/China/metal just comes out dry. Plastic is the only stuff that needs to be left to dry.
I thought the cutlery shelf would be useless and actually got a basket to use instead. Nah it’s fine and word well so long as it’s spaced properly and the basket sits unused.
This is how good it is. I’ve now a bunch of times washed my small oven tray which has been used to roast chicken with tough baked in bits (just scraping the fat in the bin). The sort of thing I’d have used steel wool on.
I have put that tray in there on rapid and it comes out spotless every time. I’ve literally not even used the other functions cause there’s just no need.
I’ve also no idea what rinse aide is other reviews mention but my glasses come out spotless.
I’m tempted to get a new saucepan small side handles so I can use it in the machine cause my current one just can’t fit. And I use more plates than bowls now as I can fit more in
The one downside is it’s expensive. And as expensive as a cheaper full sized dishwasher. I waited for one of the semi regular like 50 quid price drops and nabbed it then and that’s a fair price.
But so long as it’s reliable and lasts a decent amount of time (which is the one thing I can’t predict) knowing what I know know I’d buy it at full price easily.
I have a very small flat so plumbing in a machine wasn’t going to happen! Easily fits my daily washing up , easy to fill with water and the pipe goes straight into my sink! Washes everything on the quick wash for 29 minutes and I even overload and it’s amazing! If I ever buy a camper van with electric this is coming with me ! Love i
Does a good job cleaning dishes. Don’t need any plumbing.
Takes about a minute to refill the water using the 1.5l jug provided between each wash. (About 4 jugs fulls poured into the top using the funnel provided).
Been using this every day for several weeks now and am happy with purchase.
rapid wash which lasts for 29 minutes but they come up lovely and clean and shinny, I use the Finish Quantum Infinity Shine Dishwasher Tablets, Original, 80 Tablets and they do the job brilliantly. I have mine on top of my tumble dryer by the back door.
It’s been great I was so fed up of washing pots! And time saved is a huge benefit as I’m busy with work
It’s a bit tedious filling with 3.5 jugs each time but hey ho!
Washes great on the quick wash! Only One I use!
Chop your dishwasher tabs in half too! They don’t need a full one
his looks good just like the pictures show, although we haven’t tried it yet, as i have bought it for a camper van and have not had chance to see how it preforms i will update this review when i have tried it out.
Absolutely fantastic piece of equipment. Ideal for those that are single or a couple. Can fit 2 bowls, 2 glasses and a few plates. No plumbing required as you can fill up the water tank with a jug and the waste pipe can just be placed in the sink above the drain whole. You can plumb in to the mains water and/or waste outlet. I have just the mains water connected.
Would definitely recommend
I plumbed it in direct to water and waste. I had to adapt the waste outlet, luckily I found a rubber grommet the exact size as the pipe, then I bought a blank connection to go into the side of the waste, made a hole for the grommet to go in then fitted it all together. Hey presto !
The machine is great, love the fact it lights up too ! I bought it on a deal day as full price I think it is expensive, you could buy a full size one cheaper !
Really good for small household, caravan or student. I love my gadgets and electrical items, and this is in my top 3 of my buys. So glad I bought it and even more pleased I managed to fit it all by myself but if you just want to use the top water tank and pop a bucket at the end of the waste pipe its still worth getting.
I love this little dishwasher. Very easy to install and use. It certainly is not big enough for 3 people but adequate for 2 place sttings. I have always wanted a dishwasher but just don’t have the room for a full size one. I am extremely pleased, it is really good. Unfortunately if I had just waited one more day I could have got it for 85 pounds cheaper with the Prime offer deal, but never mind I am still happy.
Washes plates, cups, cutlery and pans. If it fits,it washes.
The cutlery is a bit of a faff and placing them on the little rack is a bit hit and miss especially if you have a lot of them. What we do now is pile up the cutlery and use a standard cutlery drainer/holder to wash all the dirty cutlery. That works well and everything is clean.
Everything else, you just have to work dishwasher tetris which is a bit fun (all those years of playing tetris finally paid off!)
We normally use the 29 min wash or 58 min for the greasier things. We use the longer washes overnight when we wash the cutlery and bigger items like pots and pans.
Dishwasher tablets: we’re still working this out. It’s a mini dishwasher and it seems excessive to use an entire tablet! We got the Morrison’s all in one dishwasher tablets, and not saying this is what we did but we theoretically cut them in half carefully across all 3 components. (The instructions clearly state not to cut the tablets. If one were to do so, one should be careful and wash hands very well cause doing so would be at one’s own risk but this is all just a thought experiment).
The light goes off after a while but if you pause and start again, the light comes back on.
You fill from the top. A jug is provided. It takes about 3-4 refills. We sometimes just add a bit of water as we walk past so there’s always some water and it doesn’t take as long to fill up when we actually use it. It will beep when it’s full. It drains into our sink.
When the dishwasher starts up, it will pump out a little bit of water. I believe this is the water that might remain overnight.
Noise level: not too noisy in operation. The beeps at the end of the wash are a bit louder than expected and startling but you get used to it.
Some personal slight quibbles:
I would prefer this to be a smidgeon wider to fit some more items as we’re a couple. But that’s a reflection on our personal situation not the machine which is great. It’s perfect for one person.
The detergent section is just a groove and really just for measuring the amount. You can easily put it underneath the rack as that’s where the tablets end up anyway. It would be useful to have a slot for the rinse aid as you could custom measure detergent etc.
Great little dishwasher, easy to use and just the right size for the two of us. Great if you don’t have room for a full sized one as it only takes up a small amount of space! Good cleaning on an Ecco wash and amazing just how much it holds. Would recommend
We decided to wait a wee while after buying before we reviewed, just to be sure it would be consistent. We’ve quickly realised this wee machine is a godsend! It’s sorted us out with the whole ‘whose doing the dishes tonight’ rubbish, it’s quick to load up, quick cycle (which we fill manually and have a pipe going into a wee bucket for the waste water) and dries effectively. For what it is, it’s a great wee machine and if recommend it to anyone!
I like this dishwasher it’s handy for my small kitchen. The only minuses i find is my plates don’t stand up well in it (they lean right over). If they had plastic clips that bridged the gap that might help. The other thing is large plates get a build up of dishwasher tabs on the back and need manual cleaned off now and then. Other than that i really like it.
This is a brilliant dishwasher. It doesn’t fit in loads but it’s good for me. It washes really well. Really useful that I can fill it without having to attach to the tap. Only weird bit is bit is cutlery part so I might need to get a holder for them.
Fantastic product for someone who lives alone like me! I haven’t connected it to the water so I just fill it up with the jug provided, about 3 1/2 jugs worth of water! I can’t say enough good things about this, well worth a purchase, and it’s very much like a tardis: bigger on the inside!
I have a small kitchen, so this dishwasher’s size was just what I needed. I can actually fit it on my draining board. I don’t have to get it plumbed-in. I used it straight away and everything came out clean, mugs, dinner plates and cereal bowls. (there were a few days worth). On the whole, I’m happy. The only thing that flummoxed me, was the detergent dispenser, there isn’t a cover for it, so how do you use it and why have one?? I just put the dishwasher tablet on the bottom; it worked.
Have been using this for a while now. Excellent product. Useful for helping with the smaller loads. I have a family of 5 and we can fit plates and our cups in there. Just need to wash up pans and trays. As I can’t stand at sink because I’m disabled this stops the hassle of that. Takes half a washing up bowl of water to fill.
What a great little machine. I don’t have the room for a full sized – even slimline- dishwasher. Next to the sink is a corner cupboard with those pull out corner shelves. I removed the bottom one and fits perfectly. I have it plumbed in to water and waste which was relatively easy. It’s enough space for 2 settings for a two course dinner. Small pots and utensils etc. The 58 min wash is perfect for almost everything – even greasy/oily crockery/pots. It’s quiet and washes and dries the dishes in 2 hours in total (if using 58 min wash). I use Finish Ultimate 3-in-1 capsules and they are dissolved with no residue. I just place it on the fine filter. I live in Scotland so don’t use the salt due to our soft water so can’t comment on that. Overall, fab little machine which cleans and dries dishes well
Fantastic dishwasher. Perfect for rental properties when plumbing in isn’t an option (even though you have the choice to do so). Dishes, plates, cups, utensils etc, all come out sparkling clean in only 29 minutes. There are more intensive programs (2hrs +) but the 29 minute program is fantastic. Not only is this an amazing dishwasher, it is incredibly environmentally friendly by filling up yourself it only takes 6l of water which is plenty for the shorter cycle mentioned above.
I live in a flat with limited space and a water tight contract (so no modifications allowed), this thing can be filled with a jug (provided in the box) and the drainage pipe can just dangle in the sink (pipe also included). So, no modifications needed at all. The cable is fairly long too, you still need dish washer salt but you can use detergent in the little drawer (which gives you measurements, if you don’t want to, or can’t afford to use the fancy tablets).
I love not cleaning dishes, now I call the little device “Roger”, not sure why, but every day I thank whatever it was that compelled me to buy this.
It arrived 6 days early (a week was quoted) and I’ve used it with excellent results. I generally use the hour wash, but the 30 mins also works perfectly well. It also cleans everything equally as well as a normal dishwasher and also better than I could get when washing up by hand. I honestly think this is the best purchase I’ve ever made!
I am currently waiting for their second collection attempt (again 8am to 8pm stuck in my house). I don’t really know what I can do if they don’t turn up again. Hopefully I can update this review with some kind of happy ending.
If you are lucky enough to get the one that works properly, I can tell this is a really good piece of kit though. I am so disappointed as there is nothing better in the market for my lifestyle.
16th June 2021, Update:
They came on the second collection date. And also the replacement was sent all of a sudden despite they told me it will be delivered in July. Surprised but was a pleasant one. The replacement is working well so far and I can honestly tell the huge difference that dishes come out sparkling clean! All in all, despite the hassle, I am now pleased with the purchase. So changed the star from two to four.
It’s quiet and efficient and dare I say, cute? It is ideal for 1-person use, I can fit a days crockery and cutlery easily, obviously not pans as well. I was sceptical about its cleaning power before I used it but the results are as good as a full size dishwasher. I am very pleased with it especially as it requires no plumbing you just fill the tank your self (measuring jug supplied) and site the drain hose into either sink or, as I do, a bucket.
I could actually plumb it in, and all fittings to do so are provided, but what’s the point – it’s 4 jugs of water and it reminds you of how much my laziness is costing in water use 😀 The overall 1-line review is as follows: This cleans as good as a normal size dishwasher – and possibly even better. It’s small – obviously, but it seems to make it easier to clean stuff. I’ve only used the 29 min rapid mode and 58 min options (And only needed to).
I’ve spent years considering options to get a dishwasher without plumbing – wish I bought it ages ago. I cannot overstate how good this thing is.
Set up was very simple. You just attach the drain pipe (unless you are fitting it into your mains) plug in fill with water and you’re ready to go.
So far all my dishes have come out wonderfully clean and my teaspoons have never looked so silver. I’ve been sticking to the ‘eco wash’ mode as this is my most preferred. I have also used the rapid mode and this cleans just as efficiently but the dishes will come out a little wet still
The automatic door opening is also a great little feature. I can pop a wash on before bed and it’s all lovely and clean in the morning.
A few reviewers have mentioned water inside their machines. This is normal due to the product being tested prior and says so in the information booklet. My delivery was delayed a couple times and moved around a lot by Amazon but it still arrived well packaged.
All in all a fantastic little dishwasher that I will certainly be recommending to friends.
Once you get the idea of orgsnising plates and cups, it’s a very good product. Never had any issues with residue left on plates. No set place for finish dishwasher tabs, you really just leave one on the base and it dissolves that way. The cycles remove all oil from plastic food containers, even in the eco mode. Because of their lightweight however, something has to be placed on them to keep them stable.
The user interface is straight forward, pick your setting and press go. It takes 6L of water to run, and beeps at you when it’s full. I’ve not plumbed mine in. First tiny issue: it takes 6L of water and they give you a 1.8L jug meaning you have to do four trips. The only part of the UI that’s a bit of a hassle is setting the water hardness, but thankfully my area has “average” hardness so I didn’t need to fiddle with mine. Issue #2: it would have been nice for it to come with some dishwasher salt. As a first time dishwasher owner, I had no idea what this was until I bought it.
The machine is a little loud, but not overly so. Mine sits on a little portable countertop which might be exasperating it and installing it in a cabinet could help. It’s also bigger than you’d think, so double check where you plan to install it.
Finally, my only real issue is that it has no rinse-aid dispenser and the detergent dispenser is just a divot in the door.
I mis-measured exactly how tall this was, so I wasn’t able to put it under the cupboard next to the sink like I had planned – I had hoped to have it drain directly into the sink. I cleared out a cupboard instead and removed the cupboard door, and now have it in there instead – I have pull-out shelving on runners, so this makes it easier to pull out to fill up and also gives space beneath it for storing other items. I have it drain into a bucket, and when it’s not in use I can tuck the hose out of the way. The faffing around with the cupboard made it trickier to install, but all I needed was a screwdriver, tape measure, and some patience! If you were to just plug it in on the countertop it would be exceptionally easy.
I’ve done five washes with it now, all of which have just been the 29min quick clean. I’ve had excellent results, better than the results my parents get with a full-size dishwasher, and it’s been easy to do. You just fill up the water reservoir using the jug they give you (it’s around 3 1/2 jugs) – there’s a helpful oval-shaped funnel – it beeps at you when it’s full, then you hit the button you want and off you go. It automatically pops open the door to dry when it’s done.
I predict that I’ll run it once or twice a day, depending on whether I’m at home or at work. It’s big enough for the dinner plates I have, although I will still wash pots and pans by hand. It wouldn’t be big enough for any more than two people, I would imagine.
Would highly recommend and wish I’d got one sooner!
Washes the dishes well and also quiet enough to be used overnight. Only snag is it came up higher than expected – spec states 46.5cm but it’s nearer 46.8cm and didn’t fit under my cupboards as planned, even after removing the rubber feet, so be aware of that.
When filling salt, instructions say to unscrew this part but don’t fully unscrew it, loosen would be a better instruction, just enough so that the part comes out leaving a hole to enter water and salt, I took screw out fully and parts separated so leaving but still in hole.
I am very happy with this dishwasher and my kitchen is tidier.I am just letting those hose drain into the sink.

Firstly, the installation was really easy and took under 5 minutes. We have the waste water pipe feeding into our sink so no need for extra plumbing. What a relief.
It’s pretty compact inside but works for 2 people and a meals worth of utensils, crockery and a couple of mugs.
There’s a handy light that illuminates inside which is a nice touch and the control panel looks quite smart actually.
I’ll be recommending to my Van Life friends as would work fab in a camper van or caravan or for Airbnb guests.
WHAT A GREAT LITTLE DISHWASHER. ADD YOUR SALT AND WATER TO THE COMPARTMENT IN BASE BEFORE USE.
WE USE THE RAPID WASH , 29 MINS AND ALL PLATES AND GLASSES CAME OUT A TREAT.
THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE OK BUT SIMPLY PUT 3 JUGS OF WATER IN THE TOP OF MACHINE. THE TAP SYMBOL WILL GO OFF WHEN THERE IS ENOUGH WATER AND IT WILL BLEEP.
PUT A ALL IN ONE DISHWASHER TABLET IN THE BASE OF MACHINE.
MAKE SURE TOP AND BOTTOM ARMS TURN FREELY.
SELECT PROGRAM AND START. LOVE THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHAT GOES ON IN A DISHWASHER, AS THERE IS A LIGHT THAT STAYS ON INSIDE FOR A FEW MINUTES.
LOVE THIS DISHWASHER!!!!
