Has anybody used a tabletop dishwasher?

Question

Does it wash as well as a normal size machine? How much can you fit it them? Can they wash pots etc?
Are they easy to plumb in? And how long are the tubes for the plumbing... ie does it have to sit right next to the sink?

Thanks!

Answer 1

We had one for years fine for 1or 2 people no good for a family ,they are just as good as a normal size one you can wash everthing in them that is dishwasher proof the tube for the outlet is the same size as a washing machine tube so it needs to be quite close to the sink we kept our right next to the sink so the pipe just sat in the sink and the inlet for the water to wash is at the back so it's easy to hook up to the cold water pipes you don't need a plumber it should be easy to find a couping for the pipe to attach the inlet pipe to .Go for it we only got rid of our cause we had kids and needed a larger one.

I had a table-top dishwasher when I lived in a rental home in Colorado. I purchased a microwave cart for it to sit on, since it's just about the same size. Mine was portable, so it just attached to the faucet (which I'd recommend). It was every bit as good as a full-sized dishwasher in terms of cleaning; as to how much it can hold, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I seldom needed to run a second load to deal with the dishes from a meal.

The one I purchased was very similar to the one at the link below - just an earlier model, and the link below is to the company from which I purchased it (it's in Austin, Texas).

My parents' first dishwasher was a tabletop one, they loved it, not sure how it plumbed in or if it washed pots, I think it did though, they had it for about five years but decided to have their kitchen modernised and went for a full size one. It was really good.

I had a cheaper model and gave up on it. It takes no time at all to hand wash dishes plus I could adjust washing depending on the need.......a little BonAmi and a nylon scrubby for caked on stuff, a little Chlorox where the dog had cleaned the dishes. So after all these years I still hand wash. It's no big deal and I can conserve water and energy.

Hi,
I personally consider them to be a pain in the whatnot.
A mate of mine bunged one on his boat in error.
The hosepipes had to extend to the fresh water tank, and out to the canal/river. The electics flattened the batteries through the static invertor to provide mains voltage, but to cap it all it failed to clean crocks and pots in an efficient manner. Too small for the job, and easier to just use the sink.
Anyway he hit bridge-hole brickwork, the item fell of its' podium and went to its' demise in a skip.
OK, your house should not be travelling about, so give it a whirl, but only if you don't mind hoses and a cable on view.
Cheers,
Bob

They are simply not worth the effort and harmful to the environment. Wash them in the sink.
