10 Best Countertop Dishwashers for Effortless Clean Living – Expert Picks

Customer Review: Very happy with it so far. Have done 3 loads of dishes and they have come out perfect every time. We are using the Finish detergent pods in the washer and have not had any residue left on the dishes. Really happy with the option to fill the unit from the top as we are not able to connect to a sink. The heated dry is also nice and the dishes come out with very minimal water.

Customer Review: I haven’t had a dishwasher in about 5 years. The places I’ve lived in that time didn’t have them in unit.I’ve been eyeing one of these portable dishwashers for a while, but had been a bit discouraged on price and set-up. But I’m prone to bouts of laziness and hate when I let the dishes pile up. This machine certainly elicits the bygone era of when dishwashers first hit the market and people were amazed at the convenience.This machine is definitely worth the investment, and was easy to set up. It packs a punch; my dishes have not looked this sparkling in a while! It heats up well and my dishes are dry. Works better than some full sized dishwashers I’ve used in the past.I use mine in tank mode since I still need access to my sink, but tank mode works great.It can’t wash any big items, like pans or big pots, but it does still hold quite a bit. Perfect for single people in apartments. Make sure to angle your dinner plates if they’re on the larger side.So far no errors, but I’ve only had it a few days, so we shall see how it goes.I do wish it came in a color other than white, though.Great product anyway!

Customer Review: Five star because having a counter top dishwasher is a win. This said, you may wanna consider the product knowing issues that might manifest.Pluses: spacious and medium noise but not an issue. Great price though more on why purchasing the added Asurion is a must so it’s $50 plus more than asking price.Compliment to kitchen devote. Top fill is a win as do not wanna connect to the vintage spigot.Issues: off the bat the top spinner doesn’t spin. It’s pressure activated and it could be my water pressure. But the other machine worked okay. So expectations on that working were lost. Most of the time the dial remained stationary. Dishes still got clean.Though the instructions said the machine should heat water. Never had hot water. I filled with hot tap water and this works fine.About six months in the 40 minute cycle stopped working. I switched to C3 aka 20 minute. This was adequate. Not sure why but the 40 minute began working again.All of this was manageable. I’m so happy to have a little machine. That even would wash produce if needed. Since I manage a donation garden with lots of produce this is a fun option if wanted.Bought May 2024, it is July 2025. Ed code blinks. The manual only show E1 E3 and E4. No worries. Do my due diligence. Attempted to write the seller. Pushed send. The note never manifested in my messages.Called Amazon. Explained details. They say call Asurion and file the claim. Easy peasy, except they gave me the wrong number that’s been disconnected. No worries, looked up the number.Screen shot the full order number from the machine and Asurion insurance order number. This is all they need. Two day wait for them do do their job.They couldn’t find a place to repair the item within a hundred miles. They are issuing a refund of the full price via gift card and I’m shopping for a dishwasher.Only down side, tariffs may have risen costs of some products but no matter. I’m happy to have bought the insurance and the process for claim submission is simple.Instead of tossing the machine. Cut the cord and convert it to a tiny green house. Thought about making it into a little library. But a top folding down door is a challenge unless the Little Library is lower to the ground.Moral of the story, buy a machine with the insurance.This isn’t my first counter top dishwasher rodeo. The first one I bought had a two year manufacturer warranty. I thought great. But when the machine wouldn’t drain after a year the warranty comprised of the seller having me take the machine apart and send them pictures and they’d send me the parts to fix it. No thank you. That machine is now a green house.Because the machines are made with a ventilation system it gets humid but air flows.Anyway, if you buy this gadget despite its nuances please include the Asurion plan.The only downside is having to purchase a new Asurion plan with a new machine. So the cost of the insurance is kinda like renting a machine. Though an under counter machine is an idea it is a space hog in this vintage property with a small kitchen. Under counter storage is prime real estate.I liked the machine except for the few nuances. So gonna look elsewhere for a top fill machine with simple settings. Hoping I find a fit that resembles this machine.

Customer Review: The media could not be loaded. I live in a small modular home, with very limited counter space. This unit comes within milimeters of almost being too tall to fit under my cabinets, so make sure you measure accurately. Installation was super quick, I actually didn’t need to read the instructions to install it and get it started, because I had already watched several youtube videos.This dishwasher was recommended to me while I was hunting for a bottle washer. I’m glad I purchased this instead, it was actually cheaper. I bought it while it was on sale for $260 and it has sense went up to nearly $400. It’s definitely worth $260, but I’m not sure about $400. Time will tell.Be sure to buy the additional 2 year warranty. I’ve had it for about a week and haven’t had any issues so far, but I have seen some horror stories in other reviews.I can fit a decent amount of dishes in this appliance. I paired with it a faucet diverter to make it even easier to swap between my sink faucet and the dishwasher hose. I have unhooked it once to wash a rather large pan since installing the diverter. I also purchased the munchkin dishwasher bottle accessory basket. I use the playtex ventaire bottles so that was a must as the parts fall through the basket that comes with the dishwasher. I can fit the munchkin basket with about 2.5-3 inches on the other side of it for storage.I also had to purchase new plates as mine were too big, but I had been wanting to replace them for a while anyways. This dishwasher fits up to 9.5″ plates. Suprisingly my big t-fal pot and smaller one that I use to make tea both fit in this dishwasher.When washing bottles, I do leave the nipple out and wash it by hand. While testing the unit it stained one of my bottle nipples a foggy color. But that’s no big deal. As long as Im not hand washing entire bottles constantly. I usually can fit 3 bottles, and that’s because that’s all my little munchkin basket can hold, I could fit much more if I used a different kind of bottle. And I’m able to fit other dishes in with the bottles. The silverware rack is still able to be used over the top of the munchkin basket. It is a little bit of a pain to have to move the silverware tray though everytime I have to load bottle parts into the machine.This thing is really simple to use. I love that it sanitizes. And I don’t mind that it takes almost 2.5 hours to wash. I just set it and forget it. I have plenty of bottles to have some prepped while some are washing.I love to watch it running, I’ll just tap the display and watch it go. My 9 month old loves watching it too. But not as much as I do lol.I haven’t had any issues with it drying like some others have had. I’m pretty happy with how dry my dishes come out. I just open the door at the end of a cycle and let everything finish air drying.One of the biggest cons is just limited space, which is to be expected. Its a tiny dishwasher. I have not had anything come out dirty yet. Everythings been clean to my standards.I LOVE this dishwasher, and I hope you love it as well if you order it. It has definitely been worth it to me, and I will continue to use it daily as long as it lives. I pray it gives me at least 3 years. If it does I definitely will be purchasing another one. I absolutely hate washing dishes, and it’s really helped my mental health in just the short time I’ve had itI will update in 3 months, as well as a year. Hope whoevers reading this is having a blessed day❤️1 YEAR EDIT:Wow, I love this thing. It’s easily one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It carried me through the rest of my bottle journey with my daughter. I took her off of bottles around 20 months. I figured out how to fit bottle parts for 4 bottles in the munchkin basket. The top rack in it, I staggered the bottom of the bottle and the valves on. I’d do one bottom piece and one valve, then do a valve and a bottom piece, and so on. Just switching which side I set the pieces with each row. Staggered like a carton of eggs. I put the caps and the rings for the nipples in the bottom. I’d line the lids up along the bottom, and stack 2 on top of each other at an angle to allow water to get in. I’d put the rings on the side of the other two lids.I kept the munchkin basket under the silverware tray, and put 2 bottles on the front side of the basket.I did start washing the nipples in the dishwasher after about a month because it no longer fogged up the nipple.I was able to fit several other dishes in with the bottles. I bought an additional munchkin basket for when I was having a hard day and could fit 8 bottles in it at once.Now that we’ve switched to sippy cups, I dont wash the straws in the dishwasher. I use the yaya tumblers and the owala sippy cups.I’ve learned to rinse everything before I put it in the dishwasher. You’re supposed to anyways. If there’s red sauce stuck on a bowl, I’ll prewash it with soap, but I don’t have to worry about meticulously scrubbing it clean.I clean the filter once a month with a straw brush and use the rectangle bottle of finish dishwasher deep cleaner. I use about a 3rd of a bottle each time.I stack dishes in it now like a game of tetris. I’ve yet to have any dishes come out super dirty. I may of had to rewash something 2-3 times. You do have to make sure that nothings poking through the bottom of the basket and that the top arm has room to free spin.The ONLY complaints I have about this thing are that it’s slowly chipping away the paint on my cabinet. I have it slid out as far as I can, and it hasn’t started rotting the wood or anything. The damage isn’t even drastic enough for me to worry about it. I’m going to be moving in a new house in a few years anyways. I dont think it would have caused any damage if it wasn’t so close to my cabinet. As I said in my previous review, its within milimeters of not fitting. I’m honestly amazed that the damage isnt worse. It’s a little spot of maybe 4 inches where the paints flaking. No soft spots in the wood. I’m definitely not knocking off any stars for this. It’s to be expected.The other issue I’ve had is that I’ve had to drain the bottom of the unit twice. Not the fill part up top, the sump in the bottom.IF you get an error code, I don’t remember the code, or your buttons won’t work, drain the bottom of it.I had to within a month of purchase, but its because I opened it after starting it multiple times, the second time was yesterday, after a year of purchase.All you do, is shake the water out of the drain hose, slide the unit over and position it over your sink. Then unhook the drain hose. Mine has a hose clamp with a key so I dont have to get any tools out.Let it drain for several hours or overnight. Prop it up and tilt it back so gravity will pull all of the water out of the bottom of the unit.I’m not knocking any stars off for this either, because while its inconvenient, it doesn’t cause me any headache. Just dont open the door while its running often lolThis thing has made my life so much easier. Just buy it😅

Customer Review: I don’t usually leave as many reviews as I’d like to — most of the time simply because I forget — but I made a point to remember to write something about this dishwasher!!My apartment is small and doesn’t have space for a regular dishwasher. I’m pregnant, and with a baby on the way, my husband and I decided we definitely needed one! It arrived 6 days ago, and since then it’s been used every single day, at least twice a day! It’s perfect! Quiet, cleans perfectly (the dishes come out sparkling), very spacious (you’ll be shocked at how much it actually fits), and extremely functional!The fact that it has its own water tank and doesn’t need to be hooked up to the faucet is amazing because it keeps the sink free. I’m in love with this dishwasher — it’s been the best purchase we’ve made in a long time, and I honestly wonder why we didn’t buy it sooner!I still don’t know how much it will affect the electricity bill, but from what I’ve researched, it shouldn’t be much. Either way, I’ve been using it every day, 2 to 4 times a day, and I don’t regret it at all because it has taken a huge weight and exhaustion off my shoulders from constantly washing dishes!I highly recommend it!P.S. It’s bigger than it looks in the pictures — I was surprised!

Customer Review: Buy this.As an autistic man that gets overwhelmed with dishes or the looming threat of having to do them, this is a godsend.For $250, it has saved me a ton of background anxiety throughout the week, especially on weekends when I’d much rather not do more dish washing. As long as you dump excess food in the trash and give the dishes a quick sink rinse, this machine – even on the quick mode setting (30 minutes) will clean everything you throw at it.The cup rack is mostly useless for anything other than short fat cups or espresso cups, so I’ve honestly never bothered with using it. Honestly, if you’ve got room to put this thing near your sink it’s a game changer. Filling the tank is easy, there’s a chime when it’s full so you don’t have to guess, the included suction cup works great for routing the water outlet into the sink and the machine is fairly quiet.My daughter loves watching the dishwasher wash through the window, which brings me to my only complaint, you can’t manually turn the neat blue light on, it goes on for about 2 minutes any time you open the door and turns off until you open the door again.This will do a small saucepan, and I have one frying pan I use that does fit, but you’re better off handwashing pots and pans than trying to stuff them in here. This machine is extraordinarily easy to use, compact, quiet, and super portable.This would be great for camping (assuming you have power), kitchen renovations, small apartments, or even elderly folks that would struggle with doors or racks on a full size machine. The tank means you can run this dishwasher anywhere, not necessarily the kitchen or near the sink. As long as you have a drain or bucket nearby, this thing can wash dishes.Highly recommend, especially if you have that one person using a new cup and spoon for every single cup of coffee they drink in a day instead of just rinsing them off. 👀

Customer Review: Oh my goodness! This thing washes just as good, if not better, than a full sized dishwasher. My tableware sparkling clean. No do overs. It works exactly as stated in the instructions. Its very easy to attach the drain hose with its included hose clamp, it weighs about 28.7 lbs. I did it myself. The drain hose did indeed attach to my sink and did not fly all over when water was discharged from it. My dishes were super clean. I kept saying out loud omg…omg this is amazing. I used the pitcher included and did not hook up to the sink. I read the book first to familiarize myself with the operation. Super quiet. The only thing that I heard was the dryer fan which is something of a high-pitched whistling sound. Of course this was my 1st use. I pray it holds out. I love this thing!!! It is too large for my countertop, but I used a kitchen cart I already had. It fit my 10 1/2 inch plates slanted as they should be when loaded. The utensil basket worked fabulous for me and held quite a load of flatware. It held more than abundant flatware. I’ve used it now 3 times. Each time I’m amazed! The utensil basket needs to be turned right-side up (for the reviewer that stated the holes are too small to hold average sized flatware). Take the top off and you’ll see areas for the flatware. The top is for small items that can be put in it and then you use the top to snap it on so small items don’t come out. LOVE THIS APPLIANCE!!! I will recommend to anyone that would need this type of appliance. Thank you for offering it!

Customer Review: This little thing does an amazingly good job. Its right up there with a full sized one for cleaning. I have used it for about 6 months and is works perfectly. No leaks, no issues.Manually filling it (it comes with a fill hose to do it automatically, but I didn’t have a connection to test that) is easy enough. It’s quiet and does its job.The tray for the dishes can fit alot, but my larger dishes needed to be moved over a slot to close properly. It just a matter of learning how to stack stuff in it.Considering the small amount of water it uses, not much more than a gallon, its super efficient. I wish there was a way to just turn on the led manually, but that turns off automatically.I really like it and it does a good job.

Customer Review: We bought this to try out in our home while evaluating it for use in our 40 foot bus to motor home conversion.While it doesn’t hold much in the way of dishes or bowls it will do all your silverware. At least all that we’ve thrown at it.Our considerations were how well it cleans, how much power it uses, how much water it uses, how much space it takes up, and whether it could handle our daily needs.How well it cleans: much better than hand washing, never a greasy residue even on hard to clean plastic bowls.How much power: at under 500 watts for a wash cycle the power use is well within our daily power budget.How much water: we can do three loads and still have plenty of space in a 5 gallon bucket to easily fill lift it and dump it down the drain so water usage is minimal.How much space: counter space is at a premium in a motor home but this is about the same as a countertop microwave and will be in our rig.Handles daily needs: it will handle all but the pots and pans which will still need hand washing but plates, silverware, utensils, and the like will probably all go through and likely only every other day so it will save significant water over hand washing all that stuff.We would recommend it but there are some cons depending on your setup.Filling the water by hand isn’t difficult but it’s a pain in the behind.Dumping a bucket every few loads is a pain.Large plates (standard for most tables) are too big to get more than two in.That’s about it. If you can mount it with a plumbed fill next to it (like a pull up sink nozzle) and plumb the drain, it’s pretty much the thing to have in a small kitchen.

Customer Review: AIRMSEN Portable Countertop Dishwasher is a great choice for any small kitchen or apartment. It’s lightweight and easy to use and it can easily fit on the countertop or in a cupboard. The dishwashing cycles are powerful and efficient. This dishwasher is an ideal option for anyone who wants to save time and energy when washing dishes. Not to mention, it has an affordable price tag that will fit into anyone’s budget. I don’t know why I didn’t buy this 5 years ago when I moved into my apartment that did not have a dishwasher.****Note For Anyone Experiencing The Following Problem: Upper Spray Arm Not Turning****So I started experiencing a slight problem about 3-4 months into using the dishwasher. The upper spray arm would stop rotating during the cleaning cycle. I emailed the company and they offered the following remedy:The most common culprit as to why the upper spray arm isn’t moving is that debris has built up within the inner workings of the upper spray arm. To fix this, remove the lower tray of the dishwasher to freely access the upper spray arm. Then remove the upper spray arm by turning the large screw by hand. After it’s removed, clean out any debris that has wrapped around the mounting area for the spray arm. This is usually food particles, hair, and other general buildup. Then check the spout nozzles for any blockages. Use a toothpick or a sharp stick to unclog the individual outlets. Then rinse with water to clean out the dirty things in the spouts. Make sure that each outlet is not clogged and re-install the spray arm using the large screw. Please note that the spouts must be facing down. After installation, first manually rotate the spray arm by pushing the upper spray arm with your finger to check whether it runs smoothly. If it runs smoothly, then the problem is solved.THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ME! Try this remedy first. If you clean up the upper spray arm and it’s still not rotating, contact the company directly on the Airmsen website and report the issue using the form on the Contact US page. I hope this helps.

Customer Review: Fits a surprising amount of dishes, has reasonable length cycles and everything comes really clean and sterilized! It’s not loud and the quick setting is really effective for being half the time. We have issues with sediment in our water which breaks the motors in other dishwashers so we love that we can fill it from the top and let it run rather than hooking it up to our water, but it does have the option to hook up to a water source. Overall super worth the money, we love it!

Customer Review: what an incredible invention. Perfect for a small condo and a single man. That being said it’s big enough for a family of two maybe more. The thing is streamlined. It’s actually very beautiful. It works wonderfully so easy to set up and dam. It does an incredible job. Worth three times as much the money.

Customer Review: The media could not be loaded. We bought a house in an area that the tap water is hard. The house does not have a water filtration system and the dishwasher that was here when we bought it did not work and was caked inside with deposits. We decided that replacing it was futile and as our kitchen in this home is fairly small we needed the storage space over a dishwasher.We still wanted the convenience of a dishwasher and a countertop model seemed like our best option. I have to admit that there are pluses and minuses to a unit such as this but I feel the pluses win out in the end. I had back surgery years ago and being bent over the sink washing dishes can get extremely uncomfortable even after a short time. This allows us to load dishes as we use them and then run when full. It is helping us keep up with the dishes and is saving my back the pain of handwashing. Granted, we still must manually wash the larger items that will not fit but it is still much faster to get through the chore with less pain for me.The machine can either be manually filled with water or hooked to the sink with an adapter. We went with the manual fill as the machine is right next to the sink and we just extend our sprayer to the fill point and turn on the water until it is full. It saves us from filling the included pitcher 3 times to wash a load. The machine beeps when full to let you know so you do not overfill it. Room temperature water can be used as the unit has a heater for the water built in. For those that will be hooking directly to the sink, please note the manual states to shut the water off after the load is completed.The drain hose is an ample length so if the machine is not right next to the sink it should still reach as long as you are not placing it too far away. Even at that, the drain hose can be placed into a bucket if the sink is too far. The biggest warning I can think of is that the clamp to hold the drain hose in place on the washer is a bit of a bear to get tightened due to how close it must be to the housing of the machine.We had bought another model before this one that was broken upon receipt. Unpacking the previous one was much more involved than this one. I say this only to note that unboxing and setup was very straight forward and quite simple with the exception of the aforementioned clamp for the drain hose. The manual does not show the precise way to connect the silverware tray and that was a bit of a puzzle for a moment but was easy enough to figure out.The machine is no noisier than a full size machine. I feel it is actually quieter than a full size. It has a good selection of cycles to choose from with the only thing I would like added is to be able to turn the heated dry off on the longer cycles.I would believe the most popular question people have is “How well does it clean dishes?” I have to say it does a really good job. I have purposely put dishes with dried on food in and had most come out sparkling clean. It does miss the odd spot however that is most likely due to me playing tetris to get more in and pretty much being guilty of overloading. I recommend more loads over fuller loads to keep you from rewashing or hand washing items again. In other reviews, people noted that the water from the top was more of a “trickle”. While it is not like the power sprayers in full size machines, it puts out a fair amount of water. It does not cover the entire area which I thought would lead to the upper items in the silverware tray to come out dirty. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it did clean.The only real issue we have had so far is that the second load of dishes came out with a film on them. We are unsure if this was due to the detergent we used, if we used too much or if there was residue from the test run the manufacturer does on the machines. We have not had a repeat of that since that load of dishes. That does remind me that the inside of the machine may be damp. It does warn you of this in the quick start guide and manual.The door is held shut magnetically and does not lock to my knowledge. It holds very tightly and I do not feel it will ever pop open during a load. I actually prefer this as the first machine that we returned was due to the PLASTIC door latch was broken upon receipt. There is no latch on this one to break which in my opinion is a plus.We like the different cycles for the machine and will be using the fruit cycle often. The size is also right for us as well. We have just a hair over 18″ under our cabinets. This machine fits nicely under them with about an inch to spare. The previous machine had incorrect measurements listed and would not fit under our cabinets. I must warn that the machine will not take a dinner plate over 10″ unless laid at an angle.To summarize, we really like the machine as it lessens our daily chore load. It is not an all inclusive solution but augments very well when properly used. It is saving me from an aching back and since it sits on the countertop, loading does not require bending down as a full sized machine requires.If you are in the market for such a machine, I feel this one should be on your final list of choices due to size, features, good performance, ease of use and versatility in placement.

Customer Review: 04/20/22 UpdateEverything still working as it’s supposed to but my dish rack is now rusting and falling apart. I never did anything to it, never bent it, never cut into the plastic wrap around it..nothing…but it’s rusting and falling apart. I need a new one and I hope I can get one otherwise I have a large paperweight on my hands.*******************************06/30/2021 UPDATEIt’s been almost 4 months since I’ve owned this and I have never been happier. I use this dishwasher at least twice a day every single day. I use powder detergent from the big box store with a blue logo and I use their store brand. It’s the best stuff ever and very inexpensive to buy. I have changed one thing, I no longer use the magnet to keep the door ajar to dry the interior and dishes. The reason being is that I didn’t think about keeping the seal moist and not letting it dry out. It’s imperative the seal stays supple so it work properly. Also I buy a dishwasher cleaner from Amazon so it will help eliminate hard water deposits in the machine. I buy a little bag, about $7, and it lasts me several uses since I use such a small amount whereas 1 bag is normal for a normal size dishwasher. Don’t listen to the naysayers and negative reviews. Yes it’s small…it’s a small dishwasher..don’t expect to fill it to the brim and get everything sparkling clean. You have to arrange everything to make sure the jet spray hits everything. I have found out one thing, I was pouring water in the machine yesterday, got the beeps and realized that I didn’t turn the machine on first. So..it’s good to know it will let me know it’s full of water without it being turned on…good to know. Again, best purchase I’ve made and I highly recommend it.Next to my portable washing machine I bought a few months ago, this is my new love. I cannot say enough good things about it. I call her Rosey after the Jetson’s robot. She’s sleek, sexy and cleans. She didn’t come cheap though that’s for sure.********************************When I unpacked Rosey, I noticed some rusty looking stuff in the bag on the side of the machine towards the bottom back. When I opened the plastic wrap there was a hint of rust smell. This worries me just a bit. I’m sure most of everything in Rosey is plastic so I’m curious as to what is metal and rusts especially in a dishwasher. She did have some moisture and water droplets in it and I knew they tested it beforehand, I just thought they might have let it dry first before tightly packing it up to ship. I wonder how long it stayed wrapped with water in it before I got it. As I said this worries me and I hope I won’t have problems in the future. I did buy the extra warranty just in case.Rosey is quick, thorough and a lifesaver. I have a bad back and our kitchen sink is low, I’m 5’9” and I found myself leaning on my arms while washing dishes; I’d also take breaks before I get done. Now I don’t have to be in pain while washing the dishes. It’s just my 86 yr old mother and myself so there isn’t a lot of dishes but enough to do 2 loads a day. I want also to comment that yes it’s a small machine but it will fit the lid to my 8qt Instant Pot or my Dutch oven with no problems. Some are complaining that the machine is “too small” “so tiny” “…can’t fit my dishes” and I call them whiners. It’s a small machine…you get what you pay for so don’t expect to get HUGE loads of dishes done; it’s not going to happen. What needs to happen is the person needs to learn how to play Tetris and Jengo and learn how to stack and lean dishes. Do more loads as well. You can’t expect to get all the dishes done at once if it’s completely full and the bottom sprayer arm can’t spray the dishes above it.I have noticed that if the cart is too heavy with dishes the sprayer arm will catch on the bottom of the basket and not rotate. I have played around with the basket and I have figured out that either I can distribute the weight in towards the back of the basket OR there’s just enough room to place something, a small plastic or rubber thing but not sure what since I haven’t done it yet, under the front left wheel and that will lift the basket just enough to give clearance to the sprayer arm on the bottom. As I said, I haven’t tried it yet but I will one day. Meanwhile, the top sprayer arm is a hit and miss during rotation as well and I’m not sure why. I have included a picture of the top sprayer arm and with a twist of the middle the arm will come out of the washer and you have to make sure you line up everything just right to put it back. I took it out, inspected it, no blockage, rinsed it out and put it back but to no avail it still rotates intermittently or slowly. I have to assume is the water pressure that rotates it, just like the bottom arm, and that it just isn’t getting enough pressure maybe. It works and gets the job done. I haven’t had any dirty dishes after washing them so I can’t complain.I have read and reread thru all the reviews and learned quite a few things from other people’s experience with the machine. There were a few people who were confused thinking the whole middle piece comes out of the bottom metal filter and what I found out is that the plastic middle OF the bigger round middle piece comes out and makes it easier to clean inside the filter. I have attached a pic of what I’m talking about.Also, the whole pouring water in the top hole in the machine thing is brilliant BUT it’s design is flawed as more water would splash up out on top than IN the machine and when filling the machine 3 and ½ pitchers full of water some is bound to end up all over the place. I saw a review that used a collapsible silicone basin with drain over the hole and that’s how she fills her machine but I got to wondering about a canning jar funnel since it’s shorter and wider so I found once on Amazon and ordered it. As I continued to read the reviews I found someone else who had just done that herself. Two great minds think alike! I’ve attached a pic of that as well.Now yes the machine sucks moisture out with the “Air Fresh” cycle selected and it mostly of dries everything but it’s not completely dry (at least 90%) and I tried to figure out a way to leave the door ajar so air can circulate but nothing would work UNTIL I thought of using a small magnet. I had a refrigerator magnet break on me a while back so I threw the plastic away but kept the magnet. It’s a little rectangle sized magnet and pretty much the same size as the door magnet on the machine. Once the machine is completely done I put the magnet on the machine and close the door…et voila!…the door stays ajar with a crack to circulate air and it keeps the door closed out of the way. The light automatically turns off so I didn’t have to worry about it staying on. JUST make sure you take off the magnet before you start washing. I turned on the machine but it wouldn’t let me select a cycle and I thought the machine was broken but then remembered the magnet. I took the magnet off, closed the door and was able to set the cycle and start the machine. Nice feature that it won’t let the machine start without the door being tightly closed. Brilliant! Again, a pic is attached as well.I bought two types of detergent, powder and gel, and I can’t really tell a difference between the two when it comes to how well it cleans the dishes. I have read that powder is best if you have hard water and stuck on food since it has enzymes. My water is so hard if I threw it at someone it would kill them; gotta love the water in the desert southwest of Arizona. I do worry about hard water deposits tho as I have to regularly use vinegar in my coffee pot and tea kettle to get rid of it. I’ve read that vinegar is bad for any dishwasher so I’m not sure what to do if problems arise.Oh…I read someone’s review that said they had a problem with the cheap suction cup on the drainage hose so I bought some aquarium suction cups with plastic straps and stuck them on my drainage hose and they work great. Also, one more tip, I added a Command strap on the back side so I can coil up the drainage hose to get it out of the way as needed. Now DON’T do what I did and forget it was there and use the machine…what a mess….lolOverall this is a brilliant piece of kitchen machinery and I’m so so so happy I got it. I plan on babying Rosey and treating her right in hopes that she will last a few years. And before I forget, there is someone on YouTube who has figured out the error codes and he tells you what to do. I will say one thing that’s handy is pushing the Glass button and the Air Fresh button will starting the draining process and that’s really handy to know.

Customer Review: The media could not be loaded. ** I bought this for use in Perú. Our space is very limited. **Update: been using it for 2 months now. Wirks perfectly. I use it 5 times a week.The dishwasher comes very well packaged. It includes all the items necessary to use it out of the box, even pods! Unboxing was easy and quick. I read the instruction manual a few times and was ready to go! It is well written and easy to follow.Initial setup took about 10 minutes. I set it up to drain into a bucket for now. I will make a more permanent solution soon. I am in Perú. We have 220v electricity here and this is 120v. I have an industrial power converter that can handle the load (1500w) It is on a dedicated 10 amp circuit breaker.First useI powered it on and was greeted with a beep and it lit up inside. The control on the front is easy to view but very basic. It has 5 cycles.Water filling optionsYou have two options. The first is a connected water source. The second and easiest is to fill it manually with 6 liters of water. The included filling container holds 1.8L. You need to add 3 full pitchers and 600ml of a fourth. The machine will beep for 3 seconds when it is sufficiently filled. All cycles use the same amount of water.CyclesThere are 5 cycles. 4 for washing dishes and a 5th for cleaning fruits and vegetables.C1 – 130 minutes. Pods work great with this cycle. Dishes are as clean as any dishwasher I have used in the US.C2 – 120 minutes for sanitizing baby bottles. Not tested.C3 – 115 minute cycle for glassware. It works very well.C4 – the 40 minute rapid cycle. You can not use pods with this cycle. Liquid is a must. Works well. You need to hand dry the dishes.C5 – Fruits and veggies cycle! It rocks. 20 minutes to cleanse your produce.Safety featuresIt has a child lock so kids can not easily activate it. It disables all buttons but the power button.Water level warning. Lets you know if you have sufficient water to run the cycle.LoadingLoading is pretty standard and logical. There is no need to rinse the dishes before loading. It’s only necessary to scrape off food bits.The manual has several great visual guides to proper loading. You can Jenga it to get more than they advise and still get perfectly clean dishes. The manual makes it very clear what can’t be washed. The rack folds up and down to allow differs loading puzzles to be solved. Standard stuff.DetergentI use pods that came with the unit. Finish pods are highly rated and work well. They can only be used with the long cycles. The 40 minute cycle needs liquid to work correctly. Either way pop into the door slot.Selecting your cycleTurn on power.The control panel is a bit small but still easy to view. Choose your cycle.Filling with waterAdd 6 liters of cold water. After 3 full pitchers, fill with a fourth until the until beeps loudly for 3 seconds. The water faucet light will also turn off when filled sufficiently. Alternatively, you can use the included hose to supply water directly from the tap.Starting the loadOnce you’ve loaded the dishes and detergent and selected your cycle, choose START or DELAY. You can delay the start by up to 24 hours. One press per hour.RunningIt’s very quiet. It runs at a max of 50dB according to my Apple Watch Noise Meter. The manual says 58dB. On C1 door auto opens with 15 minutes remaining. This is a cool down period. It’s recommended to let your dishes cool before unloading.UnloadingAfter the dishes have cooled, unload them.MaintenanceYou need to check the filters and clean them as needed. If you run a short cycle it’s best to wipe the inside of the machine after use.TroubleshootingThe machine has a few error codes to help in case of issues. I’ve not had to use it yet.

Customer Review: This has changed my life for the better! I have struggled with the dishes my whole life. Which means I always have dirty dishes, a full sink and a whole spiral of excuses to self hate.I got the larger capacity washer for the 10.5 inch plates and it is amazing. I fit everything in here including cookware(except cookie sheets), just realize a spaghetti pot or a skillet will fill the wash basket pretty much up so you won’t be able to wash much else with it. I will run multiple loads if I need to but it will fit everything.The normal cycle takes 2 hours and 10 minutes at the end the door will pop open to vent and allow the dishes to dry perfectly your dishes come out cabinet ready. But I find that it is not necessary to use anything except the rapid cycle that takes 40 minutes. There is no dry function on the rapid cycle only a beep, but I towel dry my dishes and clean out the filter screen after every load and love it.I have mine sitting on a rubber drain mat next to the kitchen sink and its so close that its easier to fill the tank with the faucet sprayer than the faucet adapter (mine was missing so make sure you have it if you need it). The pitcher that comes with takes about 3 and a half times to fill and you need to pour slowly or the water will splash out of the included funnel. Here is a tip-I put the funnel inside a zip lock bag then cut a hole so the water will drain into the dishwasher, now there is a top to the funnel and I can use the sprayer without the water tidal waveing over the side.One thing about soap, this machine comes with a packet with some liquid and a couple of those pods, do not use either. This machine doesn’t produce the operating temperature to process a pod you must use powder. Also there is a cup for powder built-in the door, with a half full mark. I have found that your dishes will need to be rinsed off if you fill the soap powder cup past the half full mark it is simply to much. I keep an old table spoon in a zip lock bag of power for use and I only use a third of a table spoon for a perfect load. Dish powder is very efficient and pretty cheap I got a 3.5lb box of generic powder for $3 bucks and haven’t used half the box in the 5 months since I got this dish washer.People say even at 40 minutes I could wash way more dishes by hand faster than that machine. — That is true and also a bad comparison. 1) You will not be able to wash the dishes in water as hot as this unit so that means you will not be able to get your dishes as clean as this machine, so not the same. 2) this machine
