Best Countertop Dishwashers of 2025

"I was initially skeptical about getting a dishwasher for my tiny apartment, but I’m so grateful I received this one! It allows me to fit silverware, cups, and smaller pots easily inside. While my plates are too tall for it, I plan on purchasing shorter ones. Setting it up was a breeze; I just plugged it in and positioned the drain tube around the faucet. I’ve had no issues with leaks, and it looks attractive on my countertop. It’s such an improvement over handwashing, and I love how sanitized my dishes come out!"

"Living in a rental without a dishwasher has been challenging, but this one works perfectly for my limited space. It’s a bit bulky and heavy, but it doesn’t take up much room. My dishes are now off the sink, and they feel cleaner than ever. I’ve found that it fits my 8-inch plates and even my pasta pot. I’ve also managed to wash my deep soup mugs. To avoid any issues with the drain tube, I’ve secured it in my second sink, which works great. I’m very happy with my purchase!"

"This mini dishwasher is fantastic! If you have limited space or need a reservoir, I highly recommend checking it out. It handles a decent amount of dishes for two people and has been a reliable addition to my kitchen. I love that it fits my full-size plates and small cutting boards. The setup was straightforward, whether I used the reservoir or the sink attachment. I’m really pleased with my purchase!"

"I absolutely love this dishwasher! It's super quiet, efficient, and cleans my dishes to perfection every time. The different wash cycles are a fantastic feature, and the adjustable racks make it easy to fit all sizes of dishes. The installation was quick and hassle-free. I highly recommend it!"

"Living alone and cooking three full meals a day, I was disappointed to realize how much of a time saver a dishwasher is. This one is a lifesaver! Even on the shortest cycle, it leaves my dishes clean and spotless. I just have to handwash the pots and pans, but it’s cut my evening routine down by an hour or more!"

"The dishwasher worked great for about two months, but then the adaptor came apart when I removed it from the faucet, and a piece was lost down the drain. They don't have the parts or sell the adaptor separately, which has made finding a replacement quite a challenge!"

"I had been full-time RVing for two years and was exhausted from washing dishes by hand. We bought this little dishwasher, and it's now my favorite RV accessory! It’s tiny but surprisingly spacious, fitting all our silverware, cooking utensils, and more. We only wash larger pots by hand now. It’s easy to fill, uses regular detergent, and I love the comforting sound it makes."

"I don't usually write reviews, but this dishwasher deserves it! I was initially skeptical due to mixed reviews and its cost, but after using it about 30 times in a month, I’m thrilled with my decision. Its compact design fits well on my counter, and it has multiple wash cycles. Plus, it notifies me when the water tank is low. The few minor issues I faced, like the dishwasher pods not fitting, are easily overlooked. I’ve already recommended it to friends!"

"This dishwasher has been a game changer for me! I’ve had it for 3 months, and it fits perfectly under my counter. I chose a model with a water tank due to concerns about leaks. It’s efficient, but I’ve noticed that if I don’t run it often enough, some food can get stuck. Nevertheless, I love the dry feature, and I appreciate how hot the plates get after washing. I couldn’t imagine going back to washing everything by hand!"

"I purchased this dishwasher because I was overwhelmed with caregiver burnout. My mother has dementia, and washing dishes was the most daunting task for me. Although it doesn't hold as much as a standard dishwasher, it keeps my sink clear. It's a relief waking up to a clean sink. The washer works great and is relatively quiet, cleaning dishes effectively. It's been a Godsend for me and others in similar situations."

"After a month and a half of use, I can say it works wonderfully. Dishes come out super clean and dry, and it's quiet and well-constructed. I was initially hesitant about the price, but after using it daily, I have no regrets. It has significantly reduced my handwashing routine."

"I waited a few weeks to write my review, and I'm thrilled with this dishwasher! It fits perfectly in my retirement apartment and meets my cleanliness standards. Washing by hand for 2.5 years was exhausting, but this machine provides results far superior to what I could achieve manually. Thank you, Farberware and Amazon!"

"As a single mom of three and a full-time college student, this countertop dishwasher has been a godsend! It arrived quickly, and I was able to set it up myself. I love that I can fill it with water, and it washes my dishes perfectly in just 60 minutes!"

"Living in a 1950s kitchen with no dishwasher, I had been hand washing for two years until I found this cute machine. It gets everything super clean and fits about a day and a half of dishes. I appreciate the portability of adding water, and it even received compliments for its design!"

"I’ve had this dishwasher for a few months now, and I can’t express how much it has changed my life. It’s a game changer for me, especially since I can fill it from the top without hooking it up to the sink. It's definitely worth the investment!"

"I’m fascinated by this dishwasher. It outperforms my previous regular-sized models. Dishes always come out clean and shiny, and it's not noisy. Although it's a bit too tall for my counter, I’ve placed it on a cart. The power cable and drain hose are long enough, so I don’t have to move it. I fill the tank manually with the provided container, using about 3.5 liters of water in normal mode. It holds a decent amount, perfect for my coffee tumbler's lids. Living in a rental, I couldn’t install a full-size unit, but this little dishwasher saves me time and does the job perfectly each time!"

"I absolutely love this portable dishwasher. It cleans way better than I expected. It's ideal for just 1 or 2 people. It's lightweight, so I can easily take it from home to my camper. I think this is the best purchase I've ever made!"

"I've been using this dishwasher for two months after losing my kitchen in Hurricane Helen. I appreciate that it doesn’t need any hookups. I just place the drain hose in my bathroom sink and manually fill it with the mini bucket. It takes about 2.5 fill-ups to fill the tank, but I'm thrilled to have a dishwasher. Just rinse off any food debris, add a little dish pod, and I’m good to go. I’ve run it at least 60 times, and everything comes out clean and pristine. It's not full-sized, but it works perfectly for anyone wanting to use actual plates instead of plastic or paper!"

"I am thrilled to own this dishwasher! Camping in my RV used to mean hand washing dishes, but now it's a game changer! It has a small footprint and works great outside or inside. I love the option to fill the tank or connect directly to a water source. It has plenty of space for 2-3 people and comes with a utensil basket. The internal LED light is a nice touch, and I can easily watch the cycle through the clear door. It's perfect for apartment living with limited space!"

"I really dislike hand washing dishes and would let them pile up. Now, I just load them into the HAVA as I go. In the morning, I wake up to sparkling clean dishes! It even handles my stainless steel cookware beautifully. The only drawback is that the cup rack doesn’t fit my tall mugs, but it’s still perfect for my needs as a single person. I highly recommend it!"

"I absolutely love my little dishwasher! After about 5 weeks, it stopped working, but the company quickly sent a new electric panel. I can confidently say that this has been one of my best investments!"

"I can't believe I didn't think of a countertop dishwasher before now! This machine is fantastic! We hosted a big Thanksgiving dinner, and it handled everything wonderfully. If you're considering a countertop model, go for it; you won’t regret it!"

"This dishwasher is really cool! The setup was super easy—just remove some plastic straps, attach the drain hose, and load it up. I've done several loads and it cleans 99% of everything nicely. Just be sure to check if your items are dishwasher safe!"

“I used this for baby items like bottles and binkies. It was an amazing help! No more washing and sanitizing baby items all night! I wish we had this when our baby was born. The loading rack is a bit tricky for baby items, but it’s not a deal breaker. It still worked great.”

“I saw a similar one on TikTok and this one is bigger. It's the perfect size for my RV. It cleans very well with both upper and lower wash arms, and the drying feature actually dries everything. It arrived within 2 days and was set up in under 3 minutes. It's quiet too; the sound is actually quite relaxing. I absolutely recommend this for anyone with limited space like an RV or a dorm!”

“This dishwasher is compact but still holds a lot. I can fit 10-inch plates without issues. It sprays water from both the top and bottom, which ensures everything gets clean. I tried another model that only sprayed from the bottom, and some items were left dirty. The whirling sound from the fan while it dries didn’t bother me after the first use. I hooked it up with some adapters from my local hardware store so I don’t have to fill it manually, which is great!”

"After using this dishwasher for nine months, I can confidently say it’s still going strong. No leaks, and I use it 5-6 times a week. It's definitely worth every penny. Just remember to clean it monthly to keep everything fresh!”

"I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to install this Black & Decker countertop dishwasher. With only two hoses and a power cord, I had it set up in no time. It fits perfectly in my 17.25-inch space, and I’m thrilled there were no leaks during testing!”

"I had a bit of a scare when my dishwasher showed an E4 error, but it turns out it just needed some maintenance. There’s a plug in the filter that needs cleaning, which was not mentioned in the manual. Now it’s running perfectly again!”
