HermitluxCountertop Dishwasher, 5 Washing Programs Portable Dishwasher With 5-Liter Built-in Water Tank For Glass Door

I have always hated doing dishes and just moved to a place with no dishwasher. My last house had a full size dishwasher and I loved it.In the past I had a bigger countertop dishwasher that hooked up to the sink, it was bigger than this one by about 4-5 inches but would not fit my 10.5 in plates.I am now on load 2 of quick washing dishes I had while waiting for this dishwasher to arrive!I have an RO system that I have to dump the waste water out manually. I try to collect and use the “waste water” for cooking, cleaning, and now I can use it with this dishwasher!!I read other reviews and took some suggestions. I am manually adding my water to the top but I turn it on and select what cycle I will be running. Dishes and soap need to be in the machine before loading the water with the door shut because once it has enough water it will ding at you if you do it this way. Then the machine will start running the cycle you have chosen.I need to order what someone else suggested for hard water. I forgot what it’s called so I have to go back as I am on well water and my bathroom is where my water softener reaches not the kitchen tap.The drain hose is not very long but it does work very well. Easy to attach.I loved a comment someone made here about how it does not pull a lot of power and is good for off grid living.As I am not living off grid that is one of my goals so I am trying to be mindful of what I purchase to be able to take with me whenever I can live off grid.The fact that it doesn’t have to occupy your kitchen faucet is huge!Also that if you’re having drain issues or whatever you can drain this into a bucket while washing dishes and dump where and when you can.Just make sure you’re plugging this into a grounded outlet for better safety. I looked up online which outlet would allow this type of energy/electric draw.Although it will not fit everything in it I used to wash in my full sized dishwasher I can still wash a majority of my dishes in this.My butter knives to not fit in the provided silverware basket. But it’s nice it offers an option to clean silverware in the foldable spot.It was packaged very nicelyAmazon had a delay for my delivery which sucked because I started having issues with drains at my house the day after this was supposed to arrive.During my first load of washing a quick cycle I was able to prep more of my RO water for a 3 gallon jug I put it in at home.Clear my counters, put some clean dishes away.I am not using the drying option at the moment but may have to or just wipe out the machine and leave the door cracked open in between uses.I’m just going to take my wet dishes out and put them on a dish strainer to air dry. This way I can get more done in a shorter time frame vs an hour or so drying time added on.My 2nd cycle just finished as I’m typing this out and my first load air drying is basically all dry already all in the matter of 30minWill update more if I have any changes.It’s not super heavy, I was able to carry it safely through the house outside of the box. My old counter top dishwasher was a lot heavier than this.It looks great and shiny! I got the one with no glass on the door. I don’t need to watch my wash cycles.It is not very loud.The sprayers inside are smaller than I expected but seem to work great! The top sprayer in smaller than the bottom one, so they are not the same size.The suction cup seems to be working to keep my drain in place hopefully it does not break off from the hose.The only down side was the blue tape inside to hold everything in for shipping. I had to use a pocket knife to get the connected blue tape off the dish basket.Do as you wish or think on what will help you best for your situation.I’m glad they make something like this and I hope some day soon they can make the bigger portable dishwashers like this with the manually adding water option.That would be a huge game changer to anyone in need but limited options for hook ups and able to wash more at one time.

Small but mighty! I’ve had this dishwasher for 2 weeks now. I wanted to use it before reviewing it. I am thoroughly impressed with this little guy. It cleans really well, and I’m not great about rinsing dishes. The dry feature works well also. It’s quiet. I don’t have mine hooked to water or a drain. I fill the water compartment and the drain hose is secured to a 5 gallon bucket. That’s it! Easy pease, absolutely no hookup! It holds 4 glasses, 4 plates, a couple of small bowls- even a spatula or two if you load it well- all those years of Tetris will come in handy! I’ve purposely overloaded it and things still came out clean. I don’t do reviews but this one needed to be shared.

The media could not be loaded. I have been using this for almost two months and have had ZERO issues. I would definitely recommend this countertop dishwasher. (I am VERY frugal/low income and was afraid to spend so much on a tiny machine, but it's worth it!!!)FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: The brand new machines are testes in the factory so you will most likely receive one that has some water in it. DO NOT WORRY. The paperwork in the box explains that this is normal. Everytime you run the machine there will be a little standing water under the filter. I take out the filter to clean and absorb the excess water with a towel or sponge and it's fine. (See pics)I absolutely hate doing dishes but it's almost fun with this little machine. The way I've used this by filling the reservoir with water because my faucet doesn't have the right connector and I want to be able to use the sink while the dishwasher is running. It takes about three pitchers worth of water to fill up. Be careful when pouring or it might splash! Also, the drain spout attaches on the right back of the machine and it is pretty long, about 4 feet, so it can reach the other side of my sink no problem. I do think the suction cup could be stronger but you can easy tuck the hose down the drain or put something against it so it doesn't budge. ALSO, make sure the hose is not going UP or coiled around so it can drain properly via gravity. Some reviews mentioned putting the hose into a large bucket underneath to drain the machine so that's a good solution.Dishes come out super clean and I haven't noticed any soap residue (I've used a big name brand one before that always left white film on my glassware and silicone tools with the same soap used). Be mindful when loading though, because the sprayers can only reach so much. I've only had trouble when putting utensils on top of other dishes, otherwise everything gets clean when loaded according to the instructions. (See photo)This WILL NOT fit bigger plates, but my appetizer plates fit great. I can fit about as many dushes as my dish drainer rack holds, so it's a good size for one or two people's dishes from one day (other than larger bows or pans). It CAN fit the bowl from my standard sized InstantPot with a little room.The filter is easy to remove and clean. The soap goes in a little indent in the door so no worrying about the little trays like a bigger washer. I've been using the Finish Gelpacs and have no complaints, but I want to try classic liquid detergent so I can compare (I will update this review if I do).There is an LED screen that shows what temperature the water is and a countdown timer so you know when the load will be done. It also shows if you need to add water or if the sink connection isn't connected. (Little red symbols in photo)To cycle through the options, you press "selection" instead of the name of the cycle, which was a little confusing at first. I always run it with the heat dry setting on, which you have to click the touch-button that says DRY to do. There is also a pause button and a power button (hold power for two seconds to turn on/off, every other button just needs a quick tap).The vent is on the RIGHT side of the machine, so make sure it's not blocked so the steam can escape. I always leave the door cracked when it's empty to make sure it doesn't get musty, but I'm guessing the vent would be good enough on its own (I'm just extra cautious).I love the glass window so I can make sure everything is getting clean so I definitely recommend spending the extra instead of getting the option with no glass.The only complaints I have are pretty minor:Some of the areas of the rack are strangely laid out so fitting dishes in can be a bit of a magic trick. Once you figure it out, it's not so bad though.This sits to the right of my sink but the taller part of the rack is on the left, so I have to reach around that to load stuff. (see pics). If your counter is different so you can put the matching to the left of your sink, this should not be an issue.The silverware basket doesn't have consistently sized holes, so I can only fit small spoons or chopsticks in one of the sections. Also, the back of the machine where the basket sits has a little indent so all knives will have to push forward to fit so you need to load those in the frontal section of the basket. (See photos)This machine is pretty tall but luckily my cabinets are hung high so it fits on my counter. .I'm pretty sure I covered everything. Happy shopping!
