Top-10 Countertop Dishwashers
Loved in the USA

The BLITZHOME Portable Dishwasher is a compact, countertop model designed for small kitchens, apartments, or RVs. Its dimensions (around 17"D x 17"W x 18"H) make it easy to place on counters without taking up too much space. It can handle 4-6 place settings, enough for a small household. The 5-liter built-in water tank or option to connect directly to a tap offers flexible installation without plumbing modifications. Water use is efficient at 5 liters per cycle, much less than hand washing, and the 900W power consumption keeps energy use reasonable. Noise is moderate at 58 dB, quiet enough for most home environments but noticeable.

The dishwasher features six wash programs, including quick and eco modes, plus a unique fruit cleaning option, which adds versatility. A 360° dual spray arm ensures thorough cleaning from all angles, and the high-temperature wash and drying functions help sanitize dishes well. Controls are user-friendly with both touch panel and smartphone app options, allowing remote monitoring and scheduling, a convenient plus for tech-savvy users. Interior baskets for bowls and cutlery improve organization during washing.

This model is well suited for anyone needing a space-saving, easy-to-use dishwasher with smart features and good cleaning performance in small living spaces. Its capacity is limited compared to full-size dishwashers, so it may not suit larger families or heavy dish loads. Additionally, it requires dishwasher-specific detergents, which might be an extra consideration.

The COMFEE' Portable Countertop Dishwasher is a compact and practical choice for small kitchens, apartments, RVs, or boats where space is limited. Its size (about 17 x 16.5 x 17 inches) makes it easy to fit on most countertops as long as you have some clearance above. Despite its small footprint, it can clean over 30 items per cycle, including plates up to 9.5 inches wide, which is quite generous for a mini dishwasher. One big plus is its 5-liter built-in water tank, allowing you to run a wash without hooking up to a faucet, although a faucet connection is possible with the included adapter. This makes it very convenient for users lacking plumbing access or those wanting mobility.

The dishwasher offers six wash programs including Normal, Rapid, Hygiene (which heats water up to 162°F for thorough cleaning), Fruit, Glass, and an Air Refresh mode that helps dry dishes and remove odors. This range supports cleaning a variety of items while maintaining hygiene, especially useful for baby dishes and delicate glassware. It uses about 1.32 gallons of water per hour, significantly less than handwashing, and consumes 130 kWh annually, showing decent energy efficiency for its size. Noise level is moderate at 62 dB—noticeable but not overly loud compared to typical kitchen appliances.

Installation and use are straightforward: no permanent plumbing is required, and the touch panel controls are simple to operate. The dishwasher also includes handy features like a see-through window and adjustable racks to better organize your dishes. However, the inner and rack materials are plastic rather than stainless steel, which might impact durability over many years. Also, at around 36.6 pounds, it’s portable but not ultra-light. This COMFEE' model suits those needing a no-fuss, space-saving dishwasher that covers essential washing needs with good water and energy savings. While it may not match full-sized dishwasher power or durability, it offers excellent convenience for small households or mobile living.

The NOVETE Portable Countertop Dishwasher is a compact solution designed for small spaces, holding up to 4 full place settings while maintaining a manageable size of 16.9 x 16.8 x 18.1 inches. This makes it an excellent choice for small apartments, dorms, or RVs. One of the standout features is the flexibility in water supply; it can operate using a built-in 5 L water tank or be connected directly to a faucet, allowing for easy installation without needing permanent plumbing.

With five wash cycles, including a special Baby Care mode, it caters to various cleaning needs, ensuring effective results for both everyday dishes and more delicate items. The addition of a drying function is a great bonus, helping to keep your dishes dry and fresh after washing.

On the downside, the 50 dB noise level could be noticeable in quiet environments, which might be a concern for some users. Additionally, while it holds a decent capacity, families larger than four may find it limits their dishwashing needs, requiring multiple cycles to clean everything. The LED touch panel simplifies control, and the transparent door allows users to monitor the washing process easily. However, potential buyers should note that the machine requires a short initial run to clear any dust or odor from transportation. This dishwasher is a practical choice for those living in compact spaces or who need a portable option, though it may not be the best fit for larger households with higher dishwashing demands.
