Wash a full sink of dishes in several wash programmes without connecting to a single pipe (Generic, £179.99)

It holds its own water in a built-in tank instead of connecting to your pipework. You fill the tank from a tap before a cycle, the machine heats and recirculates that water internally to wash and rinse, and waste water collects in a removable tray or reservoir that you empty afterwards rather than it draining away through a fitted pipe.

Yes. Everything runs from the built-in tank, which you fill from any tap before a cycle. There's no connection to your water supply or waste pipe, so it works anywhere with a plug socket and a worktop.

For a kitchen with no plumbing for a built-in machine, yes — the alternative is handwashing, not a full-size dishwasher. At 6 place settings per cycle for family size use, it earns its keep on time rather than on matching a built-in machine's capacity, and the trade-off is a manual tank fill in exchange for zero installation cost or disruption.

Exact cycle times aren't listed in our product record. As a general guide, tabletop dishwashers typically offer a shorter rinse cycle alongside a longer, hotter wash for heavily soiled loads — check the specifications above for this model's programme count.

No. Waste water from this model collects in an internal or removable tray rather than draining through a fitted pipe, so you empty it by hand after most cycles. That's what makes it usable anywhere with a socket and a worktop, rather than only next to existing plumbing.

It's rated for 6 place settings per cycle — enough for family size use rather than a full week's backlog in one go.

There are several wash programmes, covering everyday loads through to heavier soiling.

This model draws 800W, roughly in line with a kettle running for the length of a cycle. Actual running cost depends on which of the several wash programmes you choose, since shorter and cooler cycles use noticeably less than a longer, hotter wash.

Yes, standard tablets, powder or gel all work. Because the built-in tank holds less water than a full-size dishwasher, a full tablet is dosed for more water than this machine uses — cutting a tablet in half for lighter loads is a common fix if you notice residue on glassware.

An exact decibel rating isn't confirmed in our product record, but tabletop dishwashers in this class are generally designed to run in open-plan kitchens without needing you to leave the room.

Check your worktop depth and height under any wall cabinets before ordering — as a tabletop machine it needs to sit fully on the counter rather than tuck underneath.

Yes — that's the main reason this category exists. It needs no permission to alter plumbing, no drilled worktop and no plumber, so it suits a granny annexe or garden office as well as any rental where fitting a built-in dishwasher isn't allowed or isn't practical.

Colour and finish are as shown in the product images; check the listing for the exact variant you're ordering.

A dedicated child lock isn't listed for this model, so keep it out of easy reach of young children while running, as with any countertop appliance.

A delay-start timer isn't listed for this model — it starts when you press go, so time the cycle to when you'll be around to unload it.

Yes, we deliver this item. Your delivery estimate and any charge are calculated at checkout based on your address and shown before you pay, so there are no surprises after the order.

Yes, in line with our returns policy. Keep the original packaging where you can — a tabletop dishwasher is heavy enough that a return goes more smoothly in its original box.

A specific warranty length isn't confirmed in our product record, so we won't state a figure we can't stand behind. Your statutory rights apply, and you're welcome to ask us before ordering if warranty cover matters to you.
