About this solo & couple
HAVA Table Top Dishwasher with Water Softener & Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Not every kitchen can take a full-size dishwasher. Rented flats, older houses and static caravans often have no spare plumbing run, and cutting one in is expensive or simply not allowed. The HAVA Table Top Dishwasher with Water Softener & Enhanced Energy Efficiency, sold by HAVA, sidesteps that entirely: it holds its own water in a built-in water tank, so the only requirement is a plug socket and a worktop.
The several wash programmes on offer are there to match the cycle to the load rather than washing everything the same way — a quick setting for glasses and mugs that only need a rinse, something longer and hotter for pans with dried-on food. It's rated for compact everyday use, which covers a typical day's crockery for solo & couple households without needing to run it more than once.
There's no waiting for an installer — out of the box, the built-in tank gets filled from any tap, the basket gets loaded, and the first wash can run within minutes. Delay start means you can load it before work and come home to clean dishes rather than a full sink. Child lock keeps a mid-cycle door-open or a changed programme from small hands, which matters more on a countertop machine at kid height than on a full-size one tucked under a counter. Like most tabletop machines it dries passively rather than with a heated fan, so cracking the door at the end of a cycle helps residual moisture clear.
On the counter rather than behind a panel, a neutral finish that suits most kitchens is the finish you'll actually live with day to day, and roughly 42.8 x 42.5 x 45.8cm is the figure worth measuring against before it arrives. At £239.00, the trade against a built-in dishwasher is the same one every tabletop model makes: less capacity and a manual fill step, for zero installation and the option to take it with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a countertop dishwasher work without plumbing?
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.
Does this model really need no plumbing?
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.
Are countertop dishwashers actually worth it?
For a kitchen with no plumbing for a built-in machine, yes — the alternative is handwashing, not a full-size dishwasher. At its rated capacity per cycle for solo & couple 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.
How long does a wash cycle take?
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.
Does a countertop dishwasher need a drain?
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.
How many place settings does it hold?
It's rated for a compact daily load per cycle — enough for solo & couple use rather than a full week's backlog in one go.
What wash programmes are included?
There are several wash programmes, covering everyday loads through to heavier soiling.
How much electricity does it use?
Exact wattage isn't confirmed in our product record — check the specifications above if it's listed for this model. As a general guide, tabletop dishwashers in this class typically draw somewhere in the range of a kettle, and the wash programme you pick affects running cost more than the headline wattage.
Can I use normal dishwasher tablets in it?
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.
How noisy is it?
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.
Will it fit on my worktop?
It measures roughly 42.8 x 42.5 x 45.8cm, so measure your counter space, particularly height under any wall cabinets, before ordering.
Is it a good option for a flat or rental?
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 flat with no dishwasher plumbing as well as any rental where fitting a built-in dishwasher isn't allowed or isn't practical.
What colour does it come in?
Colour and finish are as shown in the product images; check the listing for the exact variant you're ordering.
Does it have a child lock?
Yes, the control panel locks mid-cycle so it can't be paused or reprogrammed by small hands.
Can I delay the start time?
Yes, delay start lets you load it and set it to begin later, so a cycle finishes when you're back in the kitchen rather than sitting full overnight.
Do you deliver, and what does it cost?
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.
Can I return it if it doesn't suit my kitchen?
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.
Does it come with a warranty?
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.
The complete guide
How loud is the HAVA tabletop dishwasher in real use?
4 min readNoPlumb
An exact decibel figure isn't confirmed for this specific listing, but tabletop dishwashers in this class generally sit between 45 and 60dB, comparable to background conversation rather than anything intrusive.
Where noise actually matters in daily use is less about the published number and more about where the machine sits and what's around it. On a hard worktop against a wall, vibration can carry and make a machine sound louder than its rating suggests; a folded towel or a rubber mat underneath it absorbs a surprising amount of that. Loading matters too — glassware and metal pans rattling loosely against the basket adds a clatter on top of the motor and pump noise that the dB rating doesn't capture.
For an open-plan kitchen-diner or a studio where the dishwasher and living space share air, worth running the first cycle at a time you're in the room, so you know what you're actually living with before committing to running it overnight or during a call. Most owners find a tabletop machine at this noise level is genuinely fine to run in the evening while watching TV in the same room — it's a background hum rather than a jarring one, particularly once it moves past the initial fill and into the wash cycle proper.
