SPT SD-6513WB 24" Portable Dishwasher: Is It the Right Pick for Small Kitchens in 2026?
At $902, this portable skips sanitize, heated dry, and adjustable racks that cheaper competitors include. The 52 dB noise and limited features make it hard to justify the price.

How this product scores for different use cases
The portable faucet-connect design works without installation, but the 23.55" wide by 35.63" tall footprint is a full floor-standing unit, not a compact countertop model.
10 place settings meets average family needs but no adjustable racks or third rack limits loading flexibility. At $902 for a portable unit, families get more capacity and features from comparably priced built-ins.
52 dB sits above the 50 dB threshold for comfortable open-plan use. Most quiet-focused portables in this price range run at 44 to 48 dB.
The $902 price suggests a premium tier but the unit has no sanitize cycle, no heated dry, no interior lighting, and 52 dB noise. True premium portables offer all of these at similar or lower prices.
At $902, this unit costs 50 to 100 percent more than comparable portable dishwashers. It lacks features like sanitize cycle and heated dry that budget models at $400 to $600 often include.
No WiFi, no app control, and no smart home integration of any kind. Touch controls are the only modern input method offered.
Our Verdict
This SPT portable connects to your faucet and handles 10 place settings across 6 wash programs. The stainless steel tub and ENERGY STAR rating are solid baseline features.
At 52 dB, it runs louder than most portables in this price range. You will notice it operating in any room adjacent to the kitchen.
The $902 price is the biggest problem. Portable dishwashers with sanitize cycles, heated dry, and adjustable racks typically cost $400 to $700. This unit skips those features and still costs more.
The 24-hour delayed start is genuinely useful for running loads overnight. But missing heated dry means you open the door to wet dishes every time.
What We Like
- 6 wash programs cover more cleaning needs than the 4-cycle average in portable dishwashers.
- Stainless steel tub resists stains and odors better than plastic tub alternatives.
- Delayed start runs up to 24 hours ahead, letting you schedule off-peak operation.
- ENERGY STAR certified for lower electricity use compared to non-certified portable models.
- Rinse aid warning indicator alerts you before rinse aid runs out.
What Could Be Better
- 52 dB noise is louder than the 44 to 48 dB range common in portable dishwashers at this price.
- No sanitize cycle, a standard feature on most portable dishwashers priced above $600.
- No heated dry option means dishes may need towel drying after each cycle.
- No adjustable upper rack limits placement of taller items like large cups or pitchers.
- No child lock, which competitors at this price routinely include to prevent mid-cycle interruptions.

Does this dishwasher need to be installed permanently?
No. It connects to your kitchen faucet with the included adapter and drain hose. You roll it over and hook it up when you need it.
How loud is 52 dB during a wash cycle?
52 dB is roughly the volume of a normal conversation. You will hear it running from another room. It is louder than quieter models that run at 44 to 46 dB.
Does this dishwasher dry dishes with heat?
No. The specs do not list a heated dry feature. Dishes may still be wet when the cycle ends.
How many dishes can it hold per load?
It holds 10 place settings per load. That covers plates, glasses, and utensils for about 4 to 5 people per wash.
Can I delay the start time so it runs while I sleep?
Yes. The delay start feature lets you set the machine to begin anywhere from 1 to 24 hours later.
