Overview
A portable countertop dishwasher that runs on a built-in 1.3 gallon water tank rather than a permanent plumbing hookup, aimed at renters, apartments, and RVs without a full size dishwasher. It offers 8 wash programs including a 29 minute speed cycle and a self clean setting.
Reviews surface a genuine sizing catch: at 18 inches tall the unit is too boxy to slide under standard upper cabinets, which one renter found ironic given it is built for kitchens without a dishwasher. It handles everyday plates, cups and silverware well, but one long term owner found it slower than handwashing once pots and pans enter the mix.
- 8 wash programs plus child lock and delay start
- Integrated water softener uses dishwasher salt
- Racks hold over 40 items, plates up to 10.24 inches
- 1.3 gallons of water used per cycle
Who it's for
Suits renters, apartment dwellers, or RV owners without dishwasher plumbing who mainly wash plates, cups, and cutlery for one or two people. Less suited to households that cook with a lot of pots and pans or that need the unit to fit under existing upper cabinets.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Several buyers say the machine's height makes it too tall to slide under standard cabinets, forcing one reviewer to run it on the floor instead, and another found it slower than handwashing once pots and pans are involved. On the positive side, multiple reviewers call it quiet, note dishes come out clean and residue free with a single tablet, and appreciate not needing any plumbing hookup as renters.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Too tall to fit under most cabinets
- Slower than handwashing for pots and pans
- Limited to about 40 items per cycle
Performance notes
The unit washes from its own 1.3 gallon tank filled manually before each cycle, with an optional faucet hookup for those who prefer it. All cycles except the Fruit setting run a high temperature wash up to 167F followed by hot air drying, and the Dry+ mode adds an extra hour of drying plus 72 hours of air circulation to keep the interior odor free.

Not always. At 16.85 x 16.73 x 18 inches, at least one reviewer found it too tall for the space under standard upper cabinets.
