How this product scores for different use cases

Small Kitchen / Apartment
95/100

At 15.74 x 15.76 x 17.71 inches and 16.6 lbs, it fits on most countertops with no plumbing hookup needed. The 5L built-in tank auto-fills, making it purpose-built for apartments and small spaces.

Budget Buyer
94/100

At $100.99, it is one of the lowest-priced countertop dishwashers with 5 wash cycles and a sanitize function. Missing heated dry and rinse aid dispenser limits value for buyers expecting full feature sets.

Quiet Home
44/100

55dB hits the poor threshold on the noise benchmark, equivalent to normal indoor conversation. Open-floor-plan kitchens typically need dishwashers at 42-46dB or below.

Family Household
34/100

Holds only about 6 dish sets per cycle, far below the 12-14 place settings large families need. No heated dry and no third rack make daily high-volume use impractical.

Premium Kitchen
29/100

No stainless steel tub, no WiFi, no interior lighting, no steam cleaning, and no heated dry. PP and ABS construction is not aligned with premium kitchen expectations.

Smart Connected
25/100

No WiFi, no app control, and no compatibility with Alexa or Google. Controls are push button only with no smart home integration available.

Our Verdict

This countertop dishwasher works without any plumbing connection. The 5L built-in tank fills itself after you set it up.

You get 5 wash modes including fruit washing and a 162-degree disinfect cycle. Each load finishes in 35-55 minutes.

It holds about 6 dish sets per cycle. That fits a 1-2 person household but not a family.

At 55dB, it runs at indoor conversation volume. Most competitors operate 5-13dB quieter than this unit.

The $100.99 price is hard to beat for a no-hookup countertop model. You give up heated dry, delayed start, and smart controls to get there.

What We Like

  • 5 wash modes including dedicated Fruit and Vegetable Wash and Disinfect at 162 degrees C
  • No plumbing hookup needed - 5L built-in tank auto-fills after installation
  • Compact 15.74 x 15.76 x 17.71 inch footprint fits on kitchen countertops and in RVs
  • Sanitize cycle confirmed, with high-temp cleaning at 162 degrees C for bacteria reduction
  • At $100.99, significantly lower in price than most countertop dishwashers on the market

What Could Be Better

  • 55dB noise level hits the poor benchmark threshold - most competitors reach 46-50dB
  • No heated dry function - air dry only, which adds wait time before unloading
  • No rinse aid dispenser - a standard feature on most competing countertop models
  • No delayed start - you cannot schedule cycles to run overnight or off-peak
  • No child lock - a common safety feature included on most competing dishwashers
