Overview
Renters and RV owners with no dishwasher hookup get a countertop unit that fills from its own water tank or from a faucet connection. Dual spray arms clean the load on one of several programs, then a high temperature setting and air dry finish the cycle.
Skipping the plumber is the reason to look at it: fill the tank by hand and run a load on any counter near an outlet. Capacity is small, and dinner plates past the listed maximum will not fit.
Who it's for
Small apartments, dorms and RV galleys where a built-in machine is impossible are its home. Large households and anyone with oversized platters will outgrow it fast.
Pros and cons
- No plumber needed, tank fills by hand
- Faucet connection as an alternative
- Several wash programs with LED display
- High temperature wash plus air dry
- Drain arrangement not listed
- Small load size for families
- Plates over the listed max will not fit
- All plastic interior and racks
Performance notes
Cleaning depends on the dual spray arms reaching every item, so loading dishes facing the spray and leaving gaps between them matters. The tank holds a fixed water volume per cycle, and the high temperature setting does much of the work on grease.
