Loch Electronics Capsule Dishwasher Solo - Table Top Dishwasher - 7 Programmes, Touch Control, Auto-drying, Baby Care &

For a rental where you can't fit pipework, a built-in dishwasher usually isn't on the table. The Loch Electronics Capsule Dishwasher Solo - Table Top Dishwasher - 7 Programmes, Touch Control, Auto-drying, Baby Care & is built for exactly that gap: a built-in water tank, 7 programmes, and a compact capacity, with no pipework of any kind.

Day to day, the cycle choice does the work. With 7 programmes on board, a light glass-and-mug rinse and a pan crusted with last night's dinner don't get treated the same way — pick the shorter cycle for the former, a longer or higher-temperature one for the latter. Two settings worth knowing about beyond the main wash: a baby care cycle hot enough for bottles and teats without separate hand-sterilising, and a fruit wash that keeps produce out of the detergent cycle entirely. Capacity is sized for one to two people's daily wash-up, which in practice means one full day's worth of plates, bowls, glasses and cutlery for solo & couple use, rather than a week's backlog.

First use is a five-minute job rather than an afternoon with a plumber: fill the built-in tank, load plates and cutlery into the basket, pick a programme, and press start. Drying happens passively once the cycle ends, so leaving the door slightly open afterwards helps items dry faster than sealed shut.

Finished in a neutral finish that suits most kitchens, it's built to sit on a worktop rather than disappear behind a cabinet front, so the finish and a compact footprint are worth checking against your counter space before ordering. At £349.99, it sits with the rest of the tabletop category on price — the trade you're making against a full-size built-in dishwasher is capacity and a permanent plumbed connection, in exchange for something you can unplug, pack up and take with you if you move.

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, but with 7 programmes on this model, expect a range from a shorter rinse-only setting up to a longer, hotter wash for heavily soiled loads — pick the shortest cycle that suits the load rather than defaulting to the longest one.

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 7 programmes, covering everyday loads through to heavier soiling, plus a dedicated baby care cycle and a fruit wash setting.

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 7 programmes 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?

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.

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 rental where you can't fit pipework 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?

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.

Can I delay the start time?

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.

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.

What the Loch Electronics tabletop dishwasher actually costs to run

4 min read NoPlumb

A tabletop dishwasher's running cost comes down to two things: electricity for the heating element and pump, and water, since every litre in its built-in tank has to be heated from cold. An energy label isn't confirmed for this specific listing, so treat published wattage and cycle length as the more reliable guide to running cost.

The programme you choose matters more than most people assume. 7 programmes typically span a short rinse-only cycle through to a longer, hotter wash, and the difference in energy use between them can be two or three times over — picking the shortest cycle that actually gets the job done, rather than defaulting to the longest one out of habit, is the single biggest lever you have.

Compared with running a full-size dishwasher half-empty, a correctly-sized tabletop machine at its rated capacity for solo & couple use is usually the cheaper option per wash, because you're heating its built-in tank rather than the far larger fill volume of a full-size machine. Compared with handwashing, the honest answer is that a dishwasher cycle almost always uses less hot water than a tap left running, though the gap narrows if you're only ever washing a handful of items — in that case, holding off until the machine has a fuller load is the more economical habit either way.
