How this product scores for different use cases

Small Kitchen / Apartment
92/100

At 15.75 inches wide and 17.6 inches tall, this countertop unit fits on most kitchen counters without permanent installation. It handles 12-20 pieces per cycle for one or two people.

Budget Buyer
73/100

At $122, the entry price is very low for any dishwasher. But missing features like a sanitize cycle, delayed start, and rinse aid dispenser put it behind budget competitors near $180-200.

Family Household
37/100

At roughly 4 place settings and 6 liters capacity, this unit is far too small for family use. Large families need at least 12-14 place settings per load.

Quiet Home
34/100

At 55 dB, this unit hits the poor noise threshold. Open-plan kitchens and nighttime use need 44 dB or below for comfortable background noise.

Smart Connected
28/100

No WiFi, no app control, no Alexa or Google support. Push-button controls only with zero smart home integration.

Premium Kitchen
24/100

ABS and PP plastic tub, no stainless steel interior, no WiFi, and no sanitize or steam cycle. No premium features are present.

Our Verdict

This countertop dishwasher handles small loads at a low entry price of $122. It fits roughly 4 place settings per cycle and uses just 7.8 liters of water. The 75°C hot air drying is a real strength at this price point.

The 55 dB noise level is the biggest drawback for most home settings. You will hear it running from another room, unlike quieter 44-48 dB models. If noise matters to you, look at units rated 50 dB or lower.

You get 4 wash programs including a fast 30-minute quick wash. But you will not find a sanitize cycle, delayed start, or rinse aid dispenser here. Those missing features are standard on most competitors priced near $180-200.

What We Like

  • 75°C hot air drying removes moisture more thoroughly than ambient air drying used in many countertop models
  • Quick wash cycle finishes in 30 minutes, faster than the 45-60 minute quick cycles on most competing countertop units
  • Uses only 7.8 liters of water per cycle, below the 9-10 liter average of competing countertop dishwashers
  • Runs on 800W, well below the 1200-2400W draw of full-size dishwashers
  • Countertop footprint of 15.75 inches wide fits most standard kitchen counters without any permanent plumbing work

What Could Be Better

  • 55 dB noise level hits the poor threshold, while most full-size dishwashers now run at 44-50 dB
  • No sanitize cycle, a feature standard on most dishwashers priced above $200
  • No delayed start timer, a convenience feature included on most competing countertop models
  • ABS and PP plastic tub instead of stainless steel, which resists odors and retains heat better during drying
  • No rinse aid dispenser, which reduces spotting and improves drying results compared to units that include one
