AIRMSEN Portable Countertop Dishwashers, 5 Washing Programs Mini Dishwashers with 5 L Built-in Water Tank and Double-layered Glass Door, No Hookup Needed for Home, Apartments & RVs

This little washer does the trick without taking up tons of space. And it doesn't use a lot of water, which is why I bought it in the first place. Well, my kitchen is in the process of being gutted for renovation, which is really why I bought the little dishwasher. This unit only requires a drain to operate since water is poured into the top and not plumbed through a pipe. So the little washer can be used anywhere. I've set up a temporary utility sink in my den while the kitchen is being re-built and this washer sits next to the sink so it can drain out through the sink's drain.You can fit a surprising amount of dishes in here, leaving larger pieces like pots and pans to be hand-washed. This washer is so compact and powerful I'm not even sure I'll get a full-size dishwasher when outfitting the new kitchen. This little gem does such a great job while also conserving water. It's easy to use right out of the box. That's always a plus when dealing with anything electronic. I bought the mint green version for its retro feel and just love looking it... and love how handy it's been. I don't feel totally deprived of a kitchen with the temporary sink, this washer, a microwave, and a mini fridge.

I'm thrilled to have a dishwasher again with the Yaheetech rolling cart purchased here specifically for it & my available space since my counterspace doesn't allow for a dishwasher in permanent residence. My sink's faucet necessitates manually adding water, so my thanks to the reviewer whose video showed adding hot water directly to the top from the faucet which is also a pullout which saves slowly adding 3 pitchers of water. NOTE: the dishwasher must be turned on to trigger ringing when enough water has been added that way. If you've added too much, though, the dishwasher will automatically eject that excess at the start. Adding HOT WATER conserves energy while shortening cycles' times.Its Speed cycle from its very first 1st use did indeed clean well with a Cascade Platinum Plus pod—mentioned in a review for another brand—& produced sparkling clean dishes & silverware despite its very full interior. Regardless of how I place items inside, everything comes out clean. Its Air-Dry runs for an hour, contributing to its energy efficiency.As with other reviewers, my bottom-flared silverware required permanent removal of the basket's cover. The basket's size is far from adequate for the amount of silverware that collects here in 2 or more days, though. The rack's rear can accommodate 2 of Airmsen's baskets straight across. (The shape & configuration of the appliance's tines can present problems placing Airmsen's or other manufacturers' baskets elsewhere.) But at $19.99 for another basket taking a week or 2 to arrive, I opted to try Yours brand's dual baskets arriving in 2 days. Again, I had to remove the covers, but for the sake of this photo only, I was able to place all 3 baskets should I have particularly heavy silverware use but which still left room for my 10.5" dinner plates standing straight up & more items.NOTE: depending on how you have yours drain water, be prepared for the possibility of about a 1/2 cup to remain in the drain hose when it shuts off. Otherwise, you and/or the floor will be wearing it. Even after I've gone to great pains to remove that water, some still drips on the floor the next time I use it. So, act accordingly.For Pet Bowls: that stainless steel bowl belongs to my cat & was a factor contributing to this purchase. However, for hygiene's sake, I always spray his bowls, etc. with Clorox Clean-Up which I allow to remain for a bit before they go into the dishwasher. Otherwise, I would not be comfortable using the Speed cycle every time.I love it so far & I'd buy it again should the need arise, especially now that I have a better silverware basket.Update_2025-03-28: After purchasing a pair of Yours replacement baskets, I've been using only the larger of that pair placed over to the far left as shown because I've found no need for the cover.Because I've never found the need to remove it, I've held it in place minus its handle for the past 3 months with a Trudeau silicone tie wrap. By placing taller knives & forks facing center, I've been able to keep Airmsen's original small rack at the top for shallow cups, 4oz jelly jars, longer food prep utensils, or a combination of both. Yours' larger center compartment even holds larger lids for glass jars, & canning jar lids, too, since I don't use mine for canning.

I have been using this delightful dishwasher for awhile. It works well! It's a decent size, so expect it to take up space on your countertop. I run the drainage hose into the sink on one side so the hose sits there at all times. Having the jug that comes with it is handy, but I tend to use my spray hose to fill it up.My dishes come out really clean! Just beware how much dishwasher detergent you put it, as the soap can stay on if you use too much. Otherwise, it cleans my dishes at a high heat level, the modes are handy, and it has a good water capacity.

I am very pleased with this DW so far. The dishes were spotless. I washed 2 to 3 pounds of grapes. They were so clean and ready to use. Because my cabinets are low I had to put it on my other counter. It drains into a waste paper can. I used Cascade Platinum pods. I think I will switch to a Liquid when my pods are gone. I think the pods are a little big for the DW.

I'm at least 70 loads into using and the unit is going strong. Good investment for me and dishes come out more sanitary than handwashing.I can fit quite a few dishes in one load.I found the controls fairly intuitive and easy to set.Couple of drawbacks, hence 4 stars. Would like to give it 4.5.The unit does not fit under our (standard mount) cabinets next to sink in the cottage where we use it; we had to put it on a kitchen island which fortunately had an oulet. But due to this placement, we cannot use a direct water supply.The flatware basket has holes in the top that are too small for the width of most handles. I removed the top of basket but now have to be careful to load it in a way that exposes all pieces to water spray.Large plates and medium/large pans will not fit.A few tips:I find using a detergent pod with built-in rinse agent (e.g. , Finish Powerball or Cascade ActionPac tablets) and the Baby Care (longer, hotter) setting gives best results.For me, using straight Cascade detergent left a powdery film on some types of dishes that did not rinse off.Clean the filter (inside in bottom) every few loads. It could clog up easily of you forget to scrape something.When convenient, I stop the wash cycle when it begins drying, tip out any accumulated water from cup bottoms, plasticware etc., then let drying resume. Usually saves me needing to run an extra dry-only cycle.
