Silonn CDW02 Portable Countertop Dishwasher: Does App Control Make a Difference in 2026?

A portable, app-controlled countertop unit with 8 wash modes for 1-2 person households. The 56.3 dB noise level and 4 place setting limit are real drawbacks at this price.

How this product scores for different use cases

Small Kitchen / Apartment
95/100

At 16.93W x 17.72D x 18.11H inches with a built-in water tank and no plumbing hookup required, this is purpose-built for apartments, RVs, and small kitchens.

Budget Buyer
84/100

At $246.73 with 8 wash modes and app control, the price is reasonable for a portable countertop unit, though the 4 place setting capacity limits overall value.

Smart Connected
79/100

App control with remote start and pause is present, but there is no Alexa or Google Assistant integration, limiting smart home ecosystem compatibility.

Quiet Home
47/100

56.3 dB falls into the poor noise category (above the 55 dB threshold). Open-concept kitchens and nighttime use are not well suited for this unit.

Premium Kitchen
39/100

No stainless steel tub, no heated dry, no sanitize cycle, and a 56.3 dB noise level place this well below premium kitchen standards.

Family Household
37/100

4 place settings cannot support a full family's daily dish load. This unit is designed for 1-2 person households only.

Our Verdict

This dishwasher is built for one or two people in small spaces. It holds 4 place settings and sits on your counter. No plumbing connection is needed.

The app gives you remote control from your phone. You get 8 wash modes for different dish types and soil levels. The 167F wash handles grease and baby bottles well.

At 56.3 dB, it runs louder than most dishwashers on the market. Plan to use it when you are not in the same room. This is not a good fit for open floor plans.

It does not include a sanitize cycle or heated dry. Both are standard on many competing models at similar prices. Factor that in before you buy.

What We Like

  • 8 total wash modes (6+2) including ECO, Intensive, Rapid, Glass, and Fruit Wash, exceeding the 7-cycle excellent benchmark
  • Patented triple spray jet technology provides 360-degree cleaning coverage, adding an extra spray arm vs standard countertop models
  • Built-in water tank plus direct faucet connection gives two supply options, making it fully portable without plumbing
  • App control lets you start, pause, or customize a wash cycle remotely from your phone
  • 167F high-temperature wash removes grease and food residue, with a dedicated Babycare mode for sensitive items

What Could Be Better

  • 4 place settings is at the poor threshold, below the 6-8 place setting range typical for countertop competitors at this price
  • 56.3 dB noise level exceeds the 55 dB below-average threshold, making it one of the louder countertop models available
  • No sanitize cycle, a feature found on competing countertop dishwashers like the Comfee and hOmeLabs models
  • No heated dry function, requiring air drying or towel drying after each cycle
  • No delay start feature, meaning you must manually begin each wash at the time you want it to run
