Observational edit (2 years later) : buy a windowed version. The top spinner jet So I’ve been on the fence about purchasing a tabletop dishwasher for around 10 years now but they always needed to be plumbed in which is a big no no for my rented studio flat, but I’m so glad I ‘bit the bullet’ and bought one now that they have a water tank and don’t need to be plumbed in. I read reviews and one 1 particular review said exactly what I’ve said above, so I thought ‘ok you want one, just go ahead and buy it!!’. It cleans exactly the same as my parents full size expensive one. I live in a small studio flat and there is no door from my living room to my kitchen, and I watch the tv in my living room about 12ft away, the noise is barely noticeable to me and what I can hear is kind of relaxing with it swooshing the water around. Some comparable units come with a water filling tool rather than just pouring the water straight into the top, which does cause a little bit of splashing (nothing that a quick wipe doesn’t fix) but I wish mine had it (I’m thinking of buying it as a spare part if I can find one). Edit: I bought an automotive funnel from Tesco’s (slightly larger than kitchen funnel) and sawed off the tail. This works wonders!. If I could improve anything, I would want it just an inch bigger front and sides to accommodate my sauté pan (which I use daily) and still need to wash by hand as it’s just slightly to long, but that’s ok. If you want one and are on the fence too, I would say ‘just go ahead and buy it’, you’ll love it! Update: bought July 23, now October 24 As you can see from the last photo, I have limescale build up on the heating element. I’m treating this with some Amazon bought limescale remover (in photo) and it’s slowly doing the job. Update: you can see this limescale remover has done its job. I’ve used it once a week until now (pack suggests once a month) and gone through maybe 4-5 packs. I’ll now switch to 1 every 3 weeks and adjust rust accordingly. I don’t mind spending the extra money as it keeps the dishwasher in tip top condition. I just pop it in with a normal wash and that’s it, no worry about extra rinsing etc after use, it’s just super easy to use. ONE thing I will say is to try different washing tabs as I used Finish Powerball for the first year and although everything came out clean on a standard eco wash, the quick wash was not great and sometimes needed a second go. Tea stains on mugs especially. I thought it was the limitations of the dishwasher, but it wasn’t. I changed to Fairy Original and the clean was night and day. The quick wash became my go to washing cycle as it was now perfect and my cutlery was noticeably shinier too. I then switched to Aldi Mangum premium as the ingredients seem to be exactly the same and it’s massively cheaper. I also pass an Aldi on my way home from work so it works out, I haven’t been disappointed! So my recommendation is Aldi Magnum. Update: the top spinner jet gets stuck almost every wash now (2 years old) and I have to pause the machine, open the door and give the spinner a spin forwards and back to get unmixed powder or limescale out, so than it can spin. This is despite my regular inspections and filter l/ spinner cleaning (once every 3 days?) It’s very small brown dots, that look like rolled limescale. I would not want to be without this dishwasher despite what I’ve just said and would immediately replace it if it were to go faulty. The plus outweighs any negative. I just can’t recommend it enough! Summary; if your here checking out this item, think no more, just buy it, TREAT YOURSELF if nothing else. You deserve this machine and it will work hard for you 👌
