Hermitlux Table Top Dishwasher, Mini Countertop Dishwasher with 4 Place Settings, 5L Built-in Water Tank, 6 Programmes, Touch Control, Baby Care and Fruit Wash, White

This dishwasher is a little lifesaver sitting on my kitchen counter. I was a bit iffy at first about giving up some valuable counter space, but let me tell you, it’s totally worth it for the sheer convenience this thing brings into my life. This dishwasher is a total game changer. I'm all about getting things done quick, and this machine fits right into my busy life. It has a quick mode that cleans dishes superfast and leaves dishes very clean. It's small, yeah, so you can't stuff a ton of big plates or bowls in there at once. I sometimes end up doing a couple of rounds if I've got a lot to wash, but honestly, it's such a time saver overall. Setting it up was a very easy. The instructions were very straight forward. I fill up the tank with the supplied jug. The machine is super easy to keep clean too. A plus is the fruit wash setting. Love it! Gets my fruits nice and clean. Plus, it automatically dries the dishes right after washing. So, by the time I'm ready to unload, everything's warm and dry. Pretty neat, right? Pros and Cons: Pros: + Saves a bunch of time and fits perfectly in smaller spaces. + Quick mode is a blast. Super quick and effective. + Setup is simple, and it’s easy to maintain. + That fruit wash and auto-dry feature? Chef's kiss! Cons: + Can't fit a ton of big items at once, so might need extra loads. + It does pull a bit of electricity, but that’s the trade-off for quick convenience. Final thoughts: If you’re on the fence about this Hermitlux Dishwasher, I say go for it! It’s been a solid addition to my place, and I can’t really picture my kitchen without it now. Saves me so much hassle and time. Seriously, a must-have if you hate doing dishes as much as I do.

This item is really good, ideal for small household, easy to use runs quietly and efficiently and dishes cleaned

I want to start by highlighting how fantastic this product is. It feels very sturdy, well-built, and is easy to install. We purchased this dishwasher because our home didn’t have one, and it wasn’t feasible to have a permanent installation in our rented accommodation. We have been using it for a few weeks now, and each time our dishes and utensils come out sparkling clean. In the past, with some other dishwashers, we've noticed that plates used for cooking eggs—especially soft-boiled eggs—would sometimes emerge with an unpleasant smell and would need to be rewashed. However, that has never been an issue with this dishwasher. Initially, we used it by top filling, and then we eventually attached it to the tap. Both refill methods work great. The drain pipe is secured onto the sink and functions well. The only downside we have encountered with this unit is its size. While it can fit quite a few items, it is unfortunately too small for our household's usage. We tend to do frequent cooking and baking, and most of our pots and pans do not fit into this dishwasher. However, it proved very convenient when we had a group of friends over, as we were able to fit up to five sets of tableware quite comfortably. We have tested it out for a few weeks and were determined to keep it because we found it to be an excellent product. However, we have had to run it two to three times a day to keep up with the amount of dishes and cookware we use. From our experience, a household that primarily needs a dishwasher for plates and cutlery would absolutely find this product useful and worthwhile.

Observational edit (2 1/2 years later), definitely buy a windowed version. It just helps being able to see inside, it helps me to stack better/more efficient next time based on how I see it being cleaned and the way the water is being splashed around this time. My main reason is that the top spinner jet fails constantly now. Well I say fail, it will not spin for say the first 5?mins of a wash. If I pause the machine and spin it manually, there’s like minuscule little balls of limescale? brownish in colour that fall out as I spin it. This mixed with washing tablet powder before it’s dissolved. My guess is wear over time is now letting the limescale through enough to cause friction on the spinner until it gets dissolved. Maybe if I ordered a new top spinner it would fix this issue?. Anyway, most dirty items are placed upside down so although this happens, I haven’t noticed any difference in cleaning performance. Original review: So I’ve been on the fence about purchasing a tabletop dishwasher for around 10 years now but they always needed to be plumbed in, which is a big no no in my rented studio flat. When I found these table top dishwashers I was so happy, one with a water tank that doesn’t need to be plumbed in! I read reviews and one 1 particular review said pretty much the same so I thought ‘ok you’ve been looking at these for a good few months now and read many many reviews , so if want this one, go ahead and buy it. Wow! I wish I had got it sooner. It cleans exactly the same as my parents full size expensive bosch (depending on detergent used, I can’t state this enough!). I live in a small studio flat and there is no door from my living room to my kitchen, and I watch the tv in my living room about 12ft away, the noise is barely noticeable to me and what I can hear is kind of relaxing with it swooshing the water around. Some comparable units come with a water filling tool rather than just pouring the water straight into the top, which does cause a little bit of splashing (nothing that a quick wipe doesn’t fix) but I wish mine had it (I’m thinking of buying it as a spare part if I can find one). Edit: I bought an automotive funnel from Tesco’s (slightly larger than a kitchen funnel) and sawed off the tail. This works wonders!. If I could improve anything, I would want it just an inch bigger front and sides to accommodate my sauté pan (which I use daily) and still need to wash by hand as it’s just slightly to long, but that’s ok. If you want one and are on the fence too, I would say ‘just go ahead and buy it’, you’ll love it! Update: bought July 23, now October 24 As you can see from the last photo, I have limescale build up on the heating element. I’m treating this with some Amazon bought limescale remover (in photo) and it’s slowly doing the job. Update: this limescale remover has done its job and the heating plate is now nice and shiny. I’ve used it once a week until now (pack suggests once a month) and gone through maybe 4-5 packs. I’ll now switch to 1 every 3 weeks and adjust accordingly. I don’t mind spending the extra money as it keeps the dishwasher in tip top condition. I just pop it in with a normal wash and that’s it, no worry about extra rinsing etc after use, it’s just super easy to use. ONE thing I will say is to try different washing tabs as I used Finish Powerball for the first year and although everything came out clean on a standard eco wash, the quick wash was not great and sometimes needed a second go. Tea stains on mugs especially. I thought it was the limitations of the dishwasher, but it wasn’t. I changed to Fairy Original and the clean was night and day. The quick wash became my go to washing cycle as it was now perfect and my cutlery was noticeably shinier too. I then switched to Aldi Mangum premium as the ingredients seem to be the same and it’s massively cheaper. Fairy Platinum Plus is the most expensive, but is no doubt the best. In my test cutlery looks ultra shiny and polished. Aldi is the same, minus the polished look. So my recommendation is Aldi Magnum at 7p a tablet cheaper. Although, maybe, I wouldn’t need to use the limescale tabs if I used fairy PP full time? Update: the top spinner jet gets stuck almost every wash now (2 years old) and I have to pause the machine, open the door and give the spinner a spin forwards and back to get unmixed powder or limescale out, so than it can spin. This is despite my regular inspections and filter/spinner cleaning (once every 3 days?). Despite this, I would not want to be without this dishwasher and would immediately replace it if it were to go faulty. The plus outweighs any negative. I just can’t recommend it enough! Summary; if your here checking out this item, think no more, just buy it, TREAT YOURSELF if nothing else. You deserve this machine and it will work hard for you 👌

Compré este lavavajillas hace más de un año (13 meses concretamente) y no puedo estar más contento. Vivo en un piso pequeño donde no me cabría cómodamente un lavavajillas, ni siquiera uno de los de ancho de 45 cm, así que, cuando quise uno y supe de estos, me puse a buscar. Aquí mismo hay varios de diferentes marcas y que parecen ser iguales (por dentro muchos seguro que lo serán), pero me decidí por este porque tenía de media mejores opiniones, y no me arrepiento de mi decisión. Están también lo de puerta de cristal, que son como más "curiosos", al dejarte ver el proceso de fregado, pero ¿quién necesita ver el proceso? Lo que importa es el resultado y, además, esa tontería de puerta de cristal hace que sean más caros. La capacidad de carga, para alguien como yo, que vivo solo, es más que suficiente. Gracias a eso, lo pongo cada 2 o incluso 3 días. Da para unos 6 platos grandes y "jugando al Tetris", como otros usuarios dicen, uno o dos más, de los pequeños, ya te caben. Aparte de eso, da para unos cuantos cubiertos, gracias a la cesta incluida, y algunos vasos y tazas. Según como lo organice, me puede dar para una sartén pequeña (de 20 cm), pero en ese caso ya se limita la capacidad total. Ollas y sartenes grandes las lavo fuera, que al menos me quita el gasto de agua de lavar platos y tazas, que ya es mayor de lo que la gente cree. Para el caso del producto de limpieza a escoger, es más recomendable usar líquido o en polvo, ya que las pastillas habituales son para lavavajillas más grandes, y el líquido o polvo lo puedes controlar y meter lo justo. Tiene varios programas, de 30, 60 y 90 minutos. Yo uso el de 30 o el de 60, en función de cantidad de cosas a lavar y su suciedad. En el caso del de 30, si metes cosas muy sucias sí es posible que algo se te quede sin lavar al 100%, pero con el de 60 sale todo impecable. Una maravilla lo mucho que ahora me duran los tuppers sin esas manchas de tomate que nunca se van. Se puede conectar a la toma de agua de la cocina o (como yo) llenar el depósito incorporado. Llenarlo no lleva tanto tiempo y es una gozada, al saber que todo el ciclo de lavado no va a gastar más de los 5 litros que lleva. Una vez encendido, vas llenando con la jarra incorporada y empieza a pitar cuando ya has llegado a los 5 litros. Una vez empieza el lavado, lo primero que hace es expulsar todo lo que hayas echado por encima de esos 5 litros y luego empieza el ciclo de lavado. Tras el lavado, comienza un ciclo de secado de 60 minutos, pero yo nunca lo hago, ya que lo desenchufo, abro la puerta y espero que se seque al aire, que gasta menos luz. Ese secado lo que hace es sacar el vapor acumulado con un ventilador. Lo usé una vez para probarlo y sí es cierto que tras esa hora sale todo super seco, pero no lo veo imprescindible. El filtro que trae, que es como los normales, solo que más pequeño, se limpia como en un lavavajillas grande, con desenroscar y darle un poco con agua del grifo. Para limpiar el lavavajillas en sí, yo he usado sin problema esas botellas que venden en el supermercado, con las que queda impecable. Un gran producto que recomiendo a quien tenga poco espacio, como es mi caso, o a quien quiera he fregar menos un una escapada al campo y pueda, por ejemplo, enchufarlo en una autocaravana, gracias a su portabilidad. Como funciona adicional, incluye un programa de llenado de fruta y verdura, para lo cual también trae una cesta. En este caso, solo usa agua y no es necesario meter ningún detergente. Muy útil en esas escapadas al campo y para preparar ensaladas. En ese caso el programa es de 20 minutos.

Works as it should

Very easy to use and enough space for just my dishes plus my cat's bowl. It cleans very well in 30 minutes. Doesn't leak anywhere. Drying is optional. Does dry very well.

Super!

Je suis contente de cet achat, n'ayant pas la possibilité d'avoir un lave vaisselle dans mon appartement car pas d'arrivée d'eau. Très pratique de pouvoir choisir le remplissage manuel ou branchement à l'arrivée d'eau. REMPLISSAGE EAU Pour le remplissage, il faut remplir 3 fois la carafe de 1,8 l, soit un peu plus de 5 litres. Pour économiser l'eau, je récupère l'eau du robinet ou de la douche à l'aide de la carafe, pas l'eau sale évidemment mais l'eau qu'on laisse couler avant que l'eau soit chaude. Je transvase cette eau de la carafe dans un bidon de 5 litres en attendant de l'utiliser. Avant de remplir le réservoir d'eau, je vous conseille de mettre le gel ou la pastille et de lancer le programme. Le lave vaisselle émet un bip et un signal rouge. Lorsque vous ajoutez l'eau, le lave vaisselle démarrera automatiquement quand la bonne quantité d'eau sera atteinte. C'est assez bien pensé. LAVAGE Mieux vaut les pastilles ou les tablettes. J'ai testé avec du gel, mais le soucis c'est qu'il n'y a pas de capot donc le gel coule quand on ferme le lave vaisselle. Donc on en perd la moitié. Je ne sais pas si cela rend le lavage moins efficace, mais avec les produits solides c'est beaucoup mieux lavé. Je me sers du programme ECO (1h) ou du QUICK (30min) Pensez à éliminez les résidus qui pourraient encombrer le tube de vidange. Pas besoin de faire un prélavage à l'eau pour autant, mais simplement essuyez ou débarrassez cela avec un ustensile. SECHAGE Il y a une fonction DRY mais je ne m'en sers pas, c'est inutile d'utiliser de l'électricité pour cela, alors qu'il suffit d'ouvrir le lave vaisselle une fois le cycle de lavage terminé et de laisser sécher. On peut tout à fait sortir l'égouttoir pour que tout sèche à l'air libre. CONCLUSION Peu de point négatifs pour ma part. Il faut juste vérifier avant le lavage que les hélices du haut et du bas ne soient pas bloquées pour tourner lors du cycle. Il n'est pas trop bruyant, je trouve même le bruit agréable. Pour moi c'est un gain de temps, et puis il est plus efficace que moi, les verres ressortent vraiment propres, sans traces. Et le reste de la vaisselle est mieux lavée. Les corps gras sont bien éliminés. Idéal pour 1 personne, peut-être 2 tout dépend de votre quantité de vaisselle. Je lave les récipients encombrants à la main, mais pour le reste je le laisse faire. Le petit point négatif, c'est le prix, c'est toujours frustrant une telle dépense mais je ne regrette pas, car il me libère d'une corvée, et il le fait bien mieux que moi. Je suis très contente d'avoir pu trouver un produit adapté à ceux qui n'ont pas forcément d'arrivée d'eau. J'avoue que je ne pourrais plus m'en passer.
