Top-10 Countertop Dishwashers
Loved in the USA

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.

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 AIRMSEN Portable Countertop Dishwasher is tailored for small households, apartments, and RVs, boasting a compact design that takes up minimal space. Measuring 16.86”D x 16.75”W x 18.05”H, it offers a decent capacity for its size, capable of washing 40+ items, including plates up to 12 inches (though they might need a slight angle adjustment). This model stands out with its built-in 5-liter water tank, allowing flexible placement without the need for a direct water hookup, although a faucet connection option is available with the included hose.

The dishwasher features 5 wash cycles (Normal, Speed, Glass, Baby Care, and Fruit) and adds functions for extra drying and ventilated storage, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene for your dishes. Equipped with 14 washing nozzles and 360° spiral spray arms, the AIRMSEN dishwasher promises thorough cleaning, even for heavily soiled dishes, using high water temperatures up to 167°F. It is particularly suited for cleaning baby bottles and children's tableware. The touch control buttons and LED screen make it user-friendly, and the transparent double-layer glass door with internal LED lighting allows you to monitor the cleaning process.

Moreover, it is energy-efficient and water-saving, consuming only 5 liters of water per cycle and earning an ETL certification for safety. On the downside, the noise level stands at 50 dB, which might be slightly noticeable in smaller spaces. Also, the capacity, while sufficient for a small family, might not be ideal for larger households. However, the ease of use, installation, and maintenance make it a strong contender for anyone needing a portable and efficient dishwashing solution, backed by a one-year warranty for added peace of mind.
