HAVA Countertop Dishwasher, 8 Wash Programs NEW Upgraded Model Portable Dishwasher with Child Lock & Delayed Start Function, 5L Water Tank for Apartments, Dorms, and RVs - No Hookup Needed

I was skeptical of countertop dishwashers, because like a lot of things, it just seems like something that wouldn't be as good as a full sized, built in dishwasher. However, I have been proven wrong in my skepticism by this unit. I had a dishwasher at my previous apartment, but I ended up moving to a smaller location with very little counter space and no room for a dishwasher. Having a dishwasher sounds like a luxury, but when your sink is as small as the one I live with, its very difficult to stay on top of dishes even if you're only cooking once. I finally got fed up and bought this one after doing some research. I gave up a chunk of my limited counter space, but it was so worth it. While this unit can't hold too many dishes at once, it definitely washes the amount you'd need for a dinner for two. (a couple of bowls or plates, silverware, cooking utensils, etc.) To test the usability of this unit, I went ahead and worked it several times a day for the last month. I tried to push it to the limit by running it continuously while I cook and clean. I've tested every function it has aside from hooking it up to a faucet with the hose, only due to the threading on the hose being wildly large for a standard american kitchen faucet. (Maybe if I was using it outside, where a hose might go...) As far as water consumption goes, it uses roughly 1 gallon of tap water per load, and about a tablespoon of detergent. I rarely use any of the wash cycles other than quick wash (29 mins wash time; 60 min dry cycle), it does a great job and never leaves any stains on my dishes. Follow the standard protocol for dishwasher usage (scrape food before placing dishes in the basket... people please, food waste doesn't just dissolve...) The unit is about as loud as you'd expect it to be, given that its probably not going to be in an insulated cabinet. It's really not that bad. This unit is awesome and hasn't disappointed me one bit! If you have a small kitchen and need a dishwasher, I can't recommend anything else!

I’ve had this dishwasher for over a year now and honestly, it’s great! I would say that the negative reviews are likely from folks who had expectations which far exceeded the capacity of a countertop dishwasher. Yes, it is small! But it works really well for my family of two. Yes, it may be annoying to fit under your top cabinet, so read the measurements carefully and buy a water funnel that meets your needs (I picked one that’s actually a berry strainer shaped like an elephant because it had a wide opening to pour in water). If you read the instructions and do not overload the machine, it works exactly as expected and is easy to use. I really appreciate how little water it uses, how quickly it washes a load, and that it has different wash and dry options. As someone else on the internet recommended, I use liquid all in one dish detergent, not pods or powder. Drawbacks: unless you have the toddler size dish set, your dishes are unlikely to fit in the machine how the images depict. You may have to do multiple loads that seem half full- again good thing this machine uses such little water. The silverware caddy is the most annoying part. It is placed in the back which means it can get in the way of pushing the basket all the way back for the door to shut, it doesn’t clip to the basket so it tips over unless you add silverware equally, and it the silverware divider only works if your silverware handles are very narrow (we removed ours). Disclaimer I have only used this for washing dishes, not the fruit setting (!?!).

This dishwasher is FABULOUS! It has plenty of space. It has a fill and use option or you can hook it up to a water source. You can use it anywhere you have electricity to plug it in and a place for the water to drain. Super easy. Even the filter is easy to clean. A blue light is on at the beginning and end of each cycle and just the right brightness. The sound is peaceful and that of a typical dishwasher. Not too loud, not too quiet. I've had it for a while now and only wish I had bought it sooner.

Small. It's small. That said, it's supposed to be. As you use it, you begin to find the best ways to maximize it's usefulness. I live alone but still, somehow, create way too many dishes. I've developed load methods for the best results for me. I usually do all flatware and utensils in the basket provided for fruit. This is usually accompanied by whatever ancillary items will fit in the remaining space. I use the cup space for spatulas and such. You can get a full service of plates for 4. It's a little loud, but if you are running it during the days general noise level it shouldn't be an issue. Cleans really well on the 29 minute setting. In fact I haven't even used any other setting. I'd recommend this for anyone short on space. Of course capacity is the main issue, but that's just a matter of trial and error. Most importantly it gets the dishes clean when loaded correctly.

I've never seen inside a dishwasher before. It doesn't look like it sprays everywhere like I expected but then maybe they are all like this. upper corners getting worst water coverage. Some of the similar small units out there look like they may have a better arrangement of the rack; but this is not a big deal. My main gripe is the basket doesn't seem to fit well even where it should go, but can't be placed in any other location. It seems to me it would be better on a shelf instead of the cups? It has a cheap plastic pitcher to fill it but I think that should just be left out; just another thing too nice to trash but too cheap to use for much else. Also, I intend to permanently hook this up; no need for it. The controls would be better if they were faced forward a bit more than up; short people can hardly see them. The soap dispenser is a joke but then it probably doesn't need one anyway. The trick is going to be not buying PODs which are overkill for small units like this. In my testing... and viewing of it... The results were as good as the traditional unit it replaces. It's not loud, better than expected. Heated water does not get as high as the manual indicates. I measured it. I did not get to hooking it up to the hot water line which is what I will do in the future... I think it wasn't designed to handle colder than average water; it could use a bit stronger heater - but I think my hot water line should fix this... or if I run a coil of hose to warm to room temp since this uses so little water that wouldn't be a problem. Like all the others I looked at, this does not have a garbage disposal integrated; my old one did and you can put most anything into that thing. These require fairly clean plates or the internal strainer will be needing constant emptying... Though I kind of look forward to the year when this unit breaks so I have an excuse to hack the thing... It looks like it will be repairable although not likely with standardized parts... doubt there are many of those these days anyway. As far as design; I wish somebody would make the internal water tank and funnel a removable part of the back of the unit, allowing for a little more internal height. you lose some depth but you could then remove it to shrink it's dimensions if plumbing it in. If you're using it portable, I'd guess a little added depth wouldn't be a big deal. Whatever... someday I will drastically enhance it.

This has been great for me and my small kitchen. I’ve had mine for almost a year still works great. It doesn’t fit LARGE frying pans, large bowls, or cookie sheets, but it definitely helps to have and I stuff as much as I can in there lol. I use just regular dishwasher pacs and it does leave residue but I just rinse after usually and wipe. There’s different settings I usually run a quick wash but for when I want to wash my deep fryer stuff I do a heavy wash. Light doesn’t stay illuminated the whole time just an fyi. It only illuminates for like 20 seconds.

Originally bought this directly from the their website, I attempted to post 2 reviews on their site but they are not posting them. Bought this dishwasher and it was very convenient and was efficiently washing dishes. It lasted about 1 month, then it broke and was throwing an error that the tank wasn’t full. When we reached out to support, they were lovely and helped troubleshoot the problem with us. They ended up sending us a replacement part with a video on how to exchange the part. Then it worked great again! After another month, it yet again broke. When I reached out to support I let them know I was not satisfied with their product because it required monthly fixes. They refused us a refund and were only willing to continue to send replacement parts if necessary. Truly dissatisfied with the product as we are looking for something a lot more reliable.

So far this thing has been a gamechanger. We're full time Rvers, and this dishwasher provides wonderful convenience in a small package, and helps our kitchen stay uncluttered. It runs quiet, and does not use a large amount of water. Would buy again.
