How this product scores for different use cases

Small Kitchen / Apartment
95/100

The 15.6 x 15.4 x 16.9 inch footprint sits on any countertop and frees up floor space. It is a strong fit for small apartments and studio kitchens.

Budget Buyer
91/100

At $136.01, it delivers 5 wash programs and a 161.6°F sanitize cycle at a price well below most countertop competitors. Value is strong for the core function.

Quiet Home
46/100

At 55 dB, this unit scores at the poor threshold for noise. Open-concept kitchens and nighttime use will notice this level of operating sound.

Family Household
33/100

At 6 place settings, this unit cannot meet the daily demand of most families. It suits only one to two people at most.

Smart Connected
33/100

No WiFi, no app control, and no smart home compatibility exist on this model. It is not designed for a connected home setup.

Premium Kitchen
28/100

No heated dry, no delayed start, no interior lighting, and a 55 dB noise level put this far below premium kitchen standards.

Our Verdict

This dishwasher works best for one or two people. It holds 6 place settings and runs 5 wash programs. You get a 161.6°F disinfect mode at a low price.

The 55 dB noise level is the biggest drawback. Most countertop competitors run 6 to 10 dB quieter. You will hear this unit clearly during operation.

At $136.01, you spend less than most countertop models. It skips heated dry, delayed start, and a rinse aid dispenser. You trade those features for a lower price.

It fits small apartments and studios well. The 15.6 x 15.4 inch base takes up little counter space. Loading through the flip-up lid is simple and fast.

What We Like

  • 5 wash programs include quick, strong, fruits and vegetables, self-clean, and disinfect modes
  • 161.6°F operating temperature delivers high-heat sterilization on every wash cycle
  • Compact 15.6"W x 15.4"D x 16.9"H body fits on standard kitchen countertops
  • $136.01 price puts a 6-place-setting unit with sanitize capability well below the $200-plus countertop average
  • Stainless steel tub interior resists odors and staining better than plastic tub alternatives

What Could Be Better

  • 55 dB noise level sits at the poor benchmark threshold; most countertop competitors run at 45-52 dB
  • 6 place settings is below the 8-12 place setting range common in mid-range countertop models
  • No heated dry function, which most countertop dishwashers at this price range include
  • No delayed start timer, a common feature on competing countertop units in the $130-200 range
  • No rinse aid dispenser, which is standard on most competing countertop models and improves drying results
