This countertop dishwasher may be small in size, but it really packs a punch. Not only is it one of the top selling dishwashers on Amazon right now (at the time of this initial review), but its height is just 17.24-inches means it’ll easily fit between most countertops and cabinets. It comes with a standard dish rack and silverware basket and will fit and wash up to around 6 standard place settings. Speaking of ‘6’ you can choose between 6 different washing cycles: heavy, light, normal, soak, glass, and speed. This dishwasher was pretty easy to set up and it came with the faucet adapter so you don’t have to purchase that separately.

This portable dishwasher not only looks sleek AF in stainless steel, but sits on wheels so you can move it around your kitchen depending on where you have the space. Once you disconnect the hose from the faucet you can easily roll it out of the way if needed. We loved that it has an Energy Star Rating and, while it’s still compact, it can fit up to 8 standard place settings. It’s somewhat programmable where the time delay feature allows you to set it anywhere from 1 to 24 hours so you can have it go on when it’s most convenient for you. Choose from the 6 wash cycle settings like: all-in-one, normal, light, heavy, rinse, and speed cycle. Plus, the upper rack is actually adjustable so it’ll fit those larger pots and pans you don’t feel like washing by hand if needed. As usual, it comes with the faucet adapter which is pretty quick and easy to set up.

This countertop dishwasher is kind of like the energy and money saver of our dreams. It uses roughly 60% less energy than other similar models and it doesn’t waste a lot of water so this can help you save on your monthly water bill. We loved the easy to use digital LED display controls and that it had a child lock option so you don’t have to worry about the young kiddos trying to open it up and ‘play house’ with your forks and knives! This compact dishwasher will wash up to six standard place settings and has six washing cycles. Another added bonus is that it has an internal water heater and when mixed with the heavy wash cycle it can help eliminate germs and bacteria by boosting water temperature up to 149 degrees. It also has a delayed start option so you can program the dishwasher to begin washing when it’s most convenient for you. The 5-foot hose comes with this model and is really easy to set up.

Take a look at that inside capacity:
