How this product scores for different use cases
No hookup required, dual water inlet modes (faucet or 5L tank), and a 20x20x21 inch countertop footprint make this a strong fit for apartments and RVs. Touch controls and 6 programs add usability in tight spaces.
At 40 dB, this unit scores in the excellent tier below the 42 dB threshold, making it well-suited for open floor plans and nighttime use. No other noise-reducing specs are listed, but 40 dB alone is competitive.
At $298.45, this is mid-range for countertop dishwashers. It delivers 6 cycles and 40 dB noise but lacks sanitize cycle, delayed start, and child lock that some lower-priced competitors include.
No stainless steel tub, no WiFi, no sanitize cycle, no interior lighting, no child lock, and no rinse aid dispenser place this well below premium tier expectations regardless of price.
Countertop format and estimated 4-6 place setting capacity cannot meet the daily dish volume of a large family. The 5L water tank and small footprint are built for 1-2 person households.
No WiFi, no app control, no Alexa or Google integration, and no delayed start are present. Touch panel is the only control interface, which does not meet smart home requirements.
Our Verdict
This dishwasher runs at 40 dB, which is excellent for a countertop unit. It fits open-plan kitchens and nighttime use without disturbing the room.
You get 6 wash programs and two ways to add water. Use the faucet hookup or the built-in 5L tank. That flexibility is rare in countertop models.
At $298.45, it skips sanitize cycle, delayed start, child lock, and rinse aid dispenser. Competitors at this price often include two or more of these. Know which features matter to you before buying.
What We Like
- Runs at 40 dB, hitting the excellent tier below the 42 dB threshold. Most countertop dishwashers run 48-55 dB.
- Offers both faucet hookup and a 5L manual water tank. Most countertop models offer only one inlet option.
- Heats water to 162°F, above the 140-149°F standard found in most countertop units. Heated dry is included.
- 6 wash programs cover a range from quick rinse to deep clean. This matches the good tier in the wash cycle benchmark.
- Uses only 5L per cycle. That cuts water use by up to 80% compared to hand washing according to manufacturer data.
What Could Be Better
- No sanitize cycle. Many countertop competitors at $250-$350 include this as a standard feature.
- No delayed start. This feature is common in similarly priced countertop models and allows off-peak scheduling.
- No child lock. Competing countertop units in this price range frequently include this safety feature.
- No rinse aid dispenser. Most countertop dishwashers above $200 include a rinse aid compartment for improved drying.
- No adjustable racks. Fixed rack configuration limits loading flexibility for taller items like pots and bottles.
