How this product scores for different use cases

Small Kitchen / Apartment
95/100

The 15.75-inch wide countertop footprint needs no installation. Five wash modes and 6-cup capacity suit a 1-2 person apartment well.

Budget Buyer
88/100

At $142.98 with 5 wash modes including a sanitize cycle, this delivers solid countertop value for cost-focused buyers.

Quiet Home
51/100

At 55 dB, this unit sits at the poor-to-below-average noise threshold. It is audible during operation in open-concept spaces.

Family Household
43/100

At 6 cups of capacity, this unit cannot handle a family's daily dish volume. It fits 1-2 person households only.

Smart Connected
30/100

No WiFi, no app control, and no smart home compatibility. Touch controls are the only modern interface feature.

Premium Kitchen
29/100

No stainless steel tub, no WiFi, no heated dry, and a 6-cup capacity fall well short of premium dishwasher standards.

Our Verdict

This dishwasher holds 6 cups of tableware and works best for 1-2 person households. Large plates and pots will not fit.

It runs at 55 dB, which is audible in a quiet room. Open-concept kitchens will notice the noise during a cycle.

Five wash modes cover quick, strong, fruit and vegetable, self-cleaning, and disinfection. That range is above average for a $142.98 countertop unit.

Water use tops out at 1.32 gallons per cycle. That is less than running a faucet for a few minutes of hand washing.

No WiFi, no delayed start, and no heated dry keep this unit basic. It cleans well for its size but lacks convenience features many buyers expect.

What We Like

  • 5 wash modes include fruit and vegetable wash and disinfection, more variety than the 3-mode countertop average.
  • Built-in sanitize cycle at a $142.98 price point, a feature many countertop units skip.
  • Installation-free setup ships with both a water inlet hose and a drain hose included.
  • Maximum water use of 1.32 gallons per cycle beats typical hand-washing water consumption.
  • Transparent flip-up lid lets you monitor the wash cycle without opening the unit.

What Could Be Better

  • 55 dB noise level is at the poor threshold; competing countertop models often reach 45 to 50 dB.
  • 6-cup capacity is below the countertop average of 8 to 12 place settings.
  • No delayed start timer, a feature found on most competing countertop dishwashers.
  • No heated dry function, which is standard on most dishwashers at this price range.
  • No rinse aid dispenser, a basic feature present on most countertop and full-size models.
