Review: Great for houses and apartments without a dishwasher - Update for January 2026: Dishwasher is still amazing! Don’t hesitate; just buy it if your home lacks a dishwasher. Future you will thank you! I only wish the company made a larger portable version. I would probably trade in for that if it has the same performance. Original review: Only a couple weeks into having this and I can’t believe I didn’t think of a countertop dishwasher before now! This machine is great! We just hosted a giant Thanksgiving dinner for family and this machine did wonderfully. If you’re thinking about getting a countertop, do it. You won’t regret it! We got a countertop dishwasher because we rent and I really didn’t want to spend money on a rolling dishwasher that could take up more space, and frankly, they typically have poorer reviews overall. It’s not large but it fits enough for daily loads for our family of 3. For Thanksgiving, we had many more people and it was so nice to load it while cooking and running it so that after dinner we had an easy clean up of what dishes we used to eat and drink. My Corelle dinner plates that I’ve owned for years fit perfectly in it along with many other things. Its small size also helps with counter space so we still have room to prep food, set out plates, etc. Because I simply don’t want to deal with a hose, we use the water tank option, which is convenient and opens up our sink for additional use. Set up was easy. Because of other reviews, I made sure the drain hose was facing downward in the sink basin next to it and just put our drying rack right over it to ensue it stays down for draining. Drains very well doing that! The heat drying feature works well and I really like the fact that it circulates fresh air for up to 73 hours afterwards. I’ve seen a few reviews about the smell of the dishwasher but I always use a tiny bit of vinegar in every load (along with a dishwasher pod), so I think it helps with the smell that can develop with plastic interiors. We also have fairly hard water so the vinegar (poured into the dishwasher, not the water tank) helps with that issue. Don’t use rinse aid in this dishwasher, unless you get a small rinse aid rack. With the small size, white vinegar is a better option since rinse aid is still a surfactant.
Review: IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE WITH THIS PORTABLE DISHWASHER!! - Okay. So I intentionally waited a whole year before writing a review on this portable dishwasher. I did this to make sure that I was able to accurately assess durability over time, as well as effectiveness. SPOILER ALERT--it still works just as great now as it did on Day 1. In fact, I'm using it right now, as I write this review.... Now I grew up during a time when parents would give their children something called "chores" to do. If you don't know what "chores" are, you're very lucky. Somehow, my daily chore was washing dishes. By hand. No dishwasher. I once asked my folks at the dinner table if we could get a dishwasher installed. What did I say that for?!? The reaction to my apparent blasphemy was immediate: My mom stopped, mid-chew, and gave me a look that could have turned Medusa herself into stone. My dad, seeing this, laughed out loud and answered [tongue-in-cheek] "Your mother and I already have 4 dishwashers--and we don't need to plug y'all in! Now. Go do the dishes. I'm sure your brothers thank you for volunteering, don't you boys..." That pretty-much settled the matter. Anyway, fast-forward about 30 years and I live in a rental apartment that-most unfortunately-did not come with a built-in dishwasher. To this day, hand-washing dishes is still my most hated house chore. So much so, that I would let dirty dishes sit in the sink for days at a time until there's no more room in the sink. Then, instead of washing the dishes, I would just stop cooking and get take-out everyday. All, to avoid hand-washing dishes, as though the dirty dishes would suddenly disappear, or get up and wash themselves, or something. And then, one day, my whole life changed! I know that sounds a little hyperbolic, but that's the only way I can describe what happened....I was browsing on desertcart [having totally abandoned that sink full of dishes, of course] and this wonderous invention appeared in my You-May-Also-Like thread. I was actually browsing for something completely unrelated, by the way. As soon as I saw it, my jaw fell to the floor. Phrases like "Why didn't I know about this?" and "Where has this been all my life?" came to mind. A portable dishwasher--who knew!!! The company that makes this just got a little bit richer, because that day, I hit Add-To-Cart immediately. But I consider myself a savvy shopper, so I made sure to read the reviews, the good ones and the bad ones, before I took that proverbial leap-of-faith. When it was delivered and I unwrapped it, it had condensation inside. DO NOT PANIC about that; it's supposed to come that way, as the manufacturer runs each machine through a full cycle for quality assurance just before shipping it out. I make a point to mention this, because some of the negative reviews were complaining about this, as though it were some kind of problem. In fact, the manufacturer has a video of this very process posted right here on desertcart. So, give it a watch. Now you can set it up to operate in one of two configurations. You can connect the dishwasher directly to your kitchen plumbing, or you can simply fill it with water manually by pouring water into it's top opening. Personally, I do it manually, since I live in a rental and I don't want to tamper with the plumbing, and I am definitely NOT a plumber, either. It uses only about 1.5 to 2 gallons of water for a complete load wash and rinse, as opposed to the nearly 10 gallons of water needed to hand-wash dishes in the sink. [Yes, I did compare water usage.] The dishwasher has several speed settings as well. I won't go too deep into that; it's in the user manual. But I will say this. I can confirm and attest that the dishwasher does also clean small pots and pans and skillets, as well as dishware and utensils. I mention this specifically, because I did not see anything about whether or not pots and pans and skillets could be cleaned. If it will fit inside the machine [even at an angle] the dishwasher will function. Then, I kinda went on a crazy cleaning blitz, and washed all sorts of things in there: All of those reusable plastic take-out containers I had accumulated; I took down the glass enclosure from the ceiling fan lights; the light bulb covers from the kitchen, bathroom, front and back porch; I even disassembled the chandelier and washed the glass pieces in this dishwasher. All came out bright and sparkly like brand new! Even the grease catchers from my electric stove burners came out clean! As for which type of soap to use, DO NOT use regular dish soap for hand-washing dishes, under any circumstances, as the resulting bubble-action will cause a malfunction. I cannot emphasize this more strongly [I learned this the hard way]. You MUST use dishwasher gel designed for use in dishwashers. I know that there are powders and even pods designed for dishwashers, but I have found out [from my year-long experience] that dishwasher gel is the most effective by far. So, think "Cascade" not "Dawn". When in use, the dishwasher itself is totally silent. All you will hear is the gentle sloshing sound of the water as the dishes are being washed. Personally, the sloshing sound is quite soothing to me; I have actually fallen to sleep listening to it several times. Imagine the sound that water makes when you are slowly rowing a boat on a calm lake. OMG! I didn't realize that I had written a book here; maybe it was the soothing sounds of my dishes now being washed for me that has allowed the words to come flowing! Well, my dishes are done. Oh, PS and by the way, It dries the dishes spotless, too! Enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally pulled the trigger and I'm happy
*by C***N on July 31, 2025*

2 days into owning this dishwasher, which incidentally arrived a full day early (!) and I am in love. I have not had a dishwasher for 3 years and I am so happy with this purchase. It took me a long time to pull the trigger, and I read review after review on every single dishwasher available before deciding on this one. I got the black glass door one. One thing that I noted was that the hermitlux dishwashers had far less negative reviews than other brands in the category I was looking (I needed a tank, couldn't hook up to faucet). Thank you to all the prior reviewers of this and other countertop dishwashers, you really help me make my decision! Since I have had this dishwasher, I've run eight loads and it has been seamless. I purchased a $60 stainless steel rolling cart for it because I don't have enough cabinet clearance, and I really didn't want to give up my very small amount of counter space anyway. This gives me the added bonus of rolling the cart directly into my hallway to run my dishes instead of trying to navigate my very few kitchen electrical outlets. I have two window air conditioners running at all times and I do occasionally have breaker issues in my apartment so this doing dishes in the hallway thing is working out very well. I have a collapsible bucket on the bottom shelf of the cart to collect dishwater, so easy! Onto the dishwashing, I've had a couple of things which were already stained not get as unstained as I would like but they were already stained so this was not a surprise. Everything else is coming out spotless! And so shiny. Clearly, hand washing was not going as well for me as I thought! I am using Cascade gel because I really just did not want to deal with any more research this week. This may change later on down the road but I wanted to get my dishes washing. In my estimation, this dishwasher can hold about a third of a standard dishwasher load but it's been awhile since I've had a standard dishwasher so I could be a little off on my math. The silverware situation annoyed me right out the gate so I popped the little lid off of the silverware container and haven't used it at all, which has caused no issue. I see people less happy about that little flip down rack not holding anything but I put all of my cooking utensils up there, and I also put my yeti-style lids up there. I love that rack! I'll probably learn more how to fit more dishes in there as time goes on but I'm highly impressed with how clean my plastic ware is getting, and it's really nice to be confident that my dishes are sanitized. So far I have used quick wash, standard wash, and strong wash on some of my grungier dishes and all cycles performed really well. If I allow it to run through the dry cycle which I really have been a little too impatient for, it does dry well. Plastics will likely still have water on top but that's that's it's something I dealt with on standard dishwashers. I'm single and still expect to be running this dishwasher daily because why not? It doesn't take very much water and it will be one less thing for my ADHD brain to deal with. Clean sink for the win! Speaking of my ADHD brain, this thing is also nearly silent. I can occasionally hear water slashing but that's about it. Even the notification beeps are very low volume. Since I am rolling the cart into the hallway to wash dishes, I pour three containers of water into the tank (I love the guide piece for it since I can't be trusted to pour water slowly), then I fill the container about halfway in case I didn't get enough in there and roll the whole thing down the hall. Twice I have not gotten enough water in there and the machine let me know so I was able to top it off with my container. I did purchase the extended warranty for 2 years because this was a big purchase for me, even though I do not normally buy extended protection. Tldr: This is a great machine!
