HAVA Countertop Dishwasher, 6 Programs Portable Dishwasher with Water Tank

Now that I have had this for a bit I wanted to review it. This little machine is a beast! It cleans the dishes so well! I can fit a normal sized crockpot with the lid in it. Or about 7 bowls medium sized bowls. It is just amazing. It is quiet and runs great! I would definitely buy it again!! The only issue I had was the smell the first like 10 times it was used. It gave off this nasty plastic smell which faded and stopped, thank goodness. And this is completely normal. Just make sure to open a window or light an incense when you use it the first few times!

This little (or not so little) thing may just save my sanity. It's so civilized, quiet, almost space age, etc. It reminds me of a (big, old, 1990s) computer. It's 18" tall so it just barely did not fit under my kitchen cabinets on the counter, but with 1-2 inches of it hanging off the edge, it is sitting stable and not a problem. It has an steam vent on the right side that needs space to vent, so you can't put it with the right side facing the wall, the right side needs to face out into a decent sized air space to allow the steam to dissipate. I turned it sideways so it can do that. It's a good-sized cube, almost a foot and a half square, small interior but I knew it would be. It has a 29 minute short cycle, an hour long regular cycle, a sterilize cycle for baby bottles, a fruit wash cycle, and a "dry" cycle if you want to dry it out before storage. I filled it full of all kinds of dirty items, did not baby it too much, did not do any major prewashing, and stacked it full inside without a lot of space between items, including on the top rack, and ran it on the short cycle, and it did a "dry" cycle, I assume, for an hour after that. Dishes have still been slightly damp inside after that, but sparkling clean, including ones that I had not had luck getting residue, grease, etc. off before. My kitchen needs plumbing work and both the kitchen sink and regular dishwasher are not usable so I've been doing the dishes in the little bathroom sink. This little thing may just save my sanity and the civility of my household. Civilized, polite, modern, relaxing, advanced, efficient, technological to have it doing its thing in there. I monitored it for any problems, no leaks etc. I think I will feel confident letting it work unsupervised. No heavy vibration etc. it's not going to shimmy itself off the counter, did not blast the water out at such a force to tip over the bucket, etc. I think I can let it operate without supervision. ***A MAJOR selling point for me was that it does NOT require to be hooked up to a sink!!! You pour in 3 pitchers of water (pitcher provided) and the drain tube you can put in a bucket. So really if you have a normal wall power electrical outlet and around a gallon and a half of clean water you are good to go. *** I really hate washing dishes and it's better for my mental health, physical health, sanity, mood, time, energy, civilized living etc. well worth the price to me not to have to scrub dishes. Example, the wire mesh strainer I put in there, I hate having to try to clean a wire mesh strainer (difficult to get really clean, the sponge shreds and gets stuck in the wires, etc), this appears to have gotten it completely clean even on the short cycle. This doesn't do a large load but I'm happy to run a small load frequently. I just ran about a dozen silverware, a flat cheesegrater, a couple of good sized bowls (like ramen bowls/big cereal bowls), a salad sized plate, 3 coffee mugs, a metal wire strainer, and a couple of glass jars in there. I think if your dinner plates are not gigantic you could do dishes for two in there (two plates, two glasses, two bowls, etc). So a good size for a couple to do dishes after a meal (do the breakfast dishes for two, the dinner dishes for two, etc.). You might have to run it twice a day but honestly I don't care. I would run it 3x/day if I had to, after each meal. LOL. People before dishwashers were literally often washing dishes 3x/day (considered bad form to let the dishes sit). It's not a lot of water (only a little over a gallon of water per load) and probably not too much electricity. The sign it came with said $15 in electricity per year. You're not going to be able to do your turkey roasting pan in this but for daily dishes it may just do the job. Save your time, your hands, your back, hips, neck, energy, and mood. Again, you do NOT need to hook it up to a sink!! Put it anywhere it can be plugged in to a normal wall power outlet (or possibly even a good quality extension cord with surge protector. I'm sure the manufacturer would not approve of that, but I think it would be fine if necessary). Put the discharge hose into a tall bucket/ container, and pour in a gallon and a half of clean water. I am thinking about using this for the sterilize cycle for animal rescue in the quarantine room. Can wash their dishes etc. on the "baby bottle" cycle and any mela or glass instruments, glass culturing plates, test tubes, etc. that need that also. Or possibly for sterilizing culture plates and instruments for home brewing, mushroom growing, etc. I've known people who went through cancer and became "neutropenic" where their dishes had to be very carefully done either in a hot dishwasher or hot washed by hand and air dried but careful not to contaminate them, because the chemo had wiped out their immune system (towel drying the dishes could spread germs on them so they said to either hot wash in dishwasher, or hot hand wash and air dry in a clean room). This would be useful for someone who did not have a dishwasher and was going through cancer example someone who was staying in a rented room, extended stay hotel or airbnb etc. near hospital for a series of treatment.

Yes!!!!!!! I am happy with the HAVA Countertop dishwasher, This is the best Birthday gift to myself. It is easy use. I like the part that it uses water through the top and Not have to tie up my faucet. It is just big enough for me and my husband. I have no issues at this time

I have run this baby a total of 81 times at this point. We are a family of 5, with boys in school and daycare. We live in a rent to own situation so until we own this house we cannot go gutting the kitchen that was built in the 50s. Our counter space is limited along with floor space so we don't have the room to store a full sized washer. Instead this dishwasher sits next to the sink on the counter space that was previously taken by the drying rack. What drew me to this dishwasher was the ability to fill the tank and not needing to buy adapters for my sink. I can run the dishwasher and then hand wash my pans at the same time. Also if anyone else lives in an older home, they will also know the fun game of not being able to wash dishes while someone showers because it will take all the hot water. The tank eliminates that issue and I am able to put a load in before bed and go take a shower without fear. My husband enjoys hand washing dishes while I do not, because while I wash dishes my kids are off finding trouble. I also enjoy the baby cycle for pet bowls /gecko decor and it would of been a huge blessing when my youngest was a baby and needing bottles for daycare. Any parent or parent to be who is currently hand washing bottles and then microwave sterilizing will understand the blessing that is not having to scrub little parts and having everything sterilized and ready to go. I can also say that because it heats the water it is saving us money on oil because we are not hand washing in hot water that was heated by oil. My kids love helping load/unload the dishwasher and the glass window is built in entertainment for them. I will say a con is the size but in the same breath it is a pro because we don't have the room for something bigger. My only other cons are that there is no rinse aid compartment but I remedy that by using cascade platinum pods, and that I can't put the wire prongs up and down like other models. The upper sprayer arm doesn't always start spinning right away, but if you leave it alone it will start spinning after the first 2 minutes of the cycle. Things I wanted to know when I was looking at dishwashers and landed on this model. 1) I have Mikasa dish sets from Costco. They all fit no issue and I can fit 10 plates (good to know if you host) 2) I can fit my kids bentigo lunch boxes I recommend vertical to prevent the clips from hanging down and interfering with the sprayer arm. 3) I can fit a 7 qt bowl and strainer along with a whisk and measuring cup no issue 4) I run multiple loads a day but I would also hand wash multiple loads a day. So it's not a big deal. What I could fit on the dish rack is what I can fit into the dishwasher but I don't need to had wash and hand dry them so major win. I also get the pods from Costco and buy a couple boxes when they are on sale. 5) I cannot fit my largest baking pan in the dishwasher but I can fit my smaller ones. I also can't fit a normal cookie sheet, but I can fit my smaller ones which might be a bonus for people who live in small apartments or are 1-2 personal household. I can fit a crock pot and large pots, along with small cutting boards. 6) most dishes can be run on a quick cycle especially if they were just used. Normal is good for your items used for cooking or kids school lunch boxes that you want a little more heat and a longer cycle. Baby/heavy is awesome for pet /bottles and if everyone in the house is dealing with sickness like strep and Covid where you would like to light everything on fire but can't. 7) fruit wash works fine I normally wash my fruits in veggie wash and soak them for way too long so being able to put all the apples (15) and filling the basket with grapes/strawberries/ blueberries saves time and I can load it and run it while I put my other groceries away. I do recommend cleaning your filter prior to running it 8) you do not need to use the pitcher to fill the machine we just use the hose from our sink and it beeps when it is full 9) the suction cup and hose stay in the sink without issue. We have the suction cup 4in from the top of the hose in the sink. 10) the top rack ment for cups is great for the munchkin lids for sippy cups and straws easily fit in the wholes for the silverware. 11) the sound the dishwasher makes is melodic. It doesn't bother me at all, quite the opposite it actually pleases me. The light turns on when you open the door, and when you first power it on and stays on for 1-2 minutes. If your kids are like mine and they "need to see" you can pause the cycle open the door and close it and the light will be back on while it washes but fear not, no water will leak when you do that, but it can be steamy and hot so I don't recommend littles doing it on their own. It's nice to know though that if my kids opened the door mid cycle I wouldn't have a bunch of hot soapy water pouring out. Overall this dishwasher has changed my life, keeps my sink clean and makes it so I don't dread hosting a party. I will need to do multiple loads ie plates/silverware, cups and desert items, prep items, and cooking items. However, It makes it so I have more time to spend with my guest instead of standing at the sink and hand washing a ton of dishes.

I've been using this dishwasher about once a day for 3 months, and i love it!! It's quiet, gets everything really clean (as long as the food isn't completely dried on!), and I haven't noticed any increase in my electrical or water bills. I use the water tank instead of faucet hookup, and empty the hose into a bucket, so it doesn't even block my sink when in use. Holds about a day's worth of dishes, glasses, flatware, etc. Ordinary sized pieces fit just fine, even 12" plates and tall glasses, small pans, mixing bowls. It has 6 cycles, I use mostly the normal cycle, 1 hr plus drying, but the speed cycle 30 mn, works well for a lightly soiled load. It also has a sterilization setting for baby bottles, which I use to sanitize my canning jars. I bought a sturdy metal rolling cart for it, since I have no counter space, so I can roll it out of the way when not in use.

UPDATE: adequate washer. LOUSY dryer. Horrible filter. Tiny particles of food get through the supposed filter. These pieces of food get stuck in the spray arms, reducing washer efficiency. For the upper arm, it doesn't give enough power to make it spin. The company has been responding to my emails by saying to push the food particles back into the arm with a small object like a chopstick. That only pushes the food particle back into the spray arm, it doesn't keep it from coming right back out and blocking it again. They tell me I should wash my dishes before I put them in the dishwasher to remove every last particle of food. If I wanted to wash my dishes by hand I wouldn't have purchased a dishwasher. FIRST: I've only run it 5 times, and it works as expected. At the beginning, the top arm takes a minute or two before it starts moving. There is an interesting piece of wire built in the rolling rack that has no explanation in the manual. My main complaints are that the suction cup on the draining hose won't stay attached to the ceramic sink wall. Also, I put it on a Normal/Dry setting, and when I came home 5 HOURS later, the dishes were still mostly wet.

Does a great job keeping my dishes clean. I especially love that it tackles all my silverware as I find those annoying to clean. It's just my wife and I, and some weeks we cook every night. You'll be washing most of your pots and pans by hand, and usually to get the best use of the small space, we hand wash any larger coffee mugs as well. What I can say is this thing handles your Tupperware, small bowls and plates like a champ. We usually run it every other day and depending on how gunked up the dishes are I do find myself using the different settings it offers. I will say the drying feature doesn't always get the job done in the 60 minutes it runs for but we tend to use it none the less. Hooking it up and using it is very easy. You will have to periodically pop the filter and plate off the bottom and clean inside of the dishwasher to keep it from gunking up. I do have some concerns on what could be stuck or built up deeper inside the machine but I haven't had any issues yet after 6 months or so. All I can say is try to always get any food waste off of your dishes before putting them in here it's definitely not meant for that.

Sometimes, I have trouble trusting 5star reviews, but I had to leave one for this dishwasher. I. Love. It! I'm so happy with my purchase! It's big, and doesn't slide under my cabinets, so it hangs over my countertop slightly. And that's my only con, so far. I've had this for a few months and I run in a few times per week. It's big enough inside to wash smaller pots and pans with a few extra things. It's fairly quiet. You do hear the water swooshing and you hear when the machine changes modes - i.e. from washing to draining. I can't tell you how loud this is in decibels, but I get hearing sensitivity sometimes, and this doesn't bother me. Especially if there's ANYTHING else making sounds at the same time - music, tv, etc. I specifically wanted something with a tank, so I didn't have to hook it up to the sink. That means, all I had to do was hook up the drainage tube (super easy), plug it in, fill it up and it was ready to go! I use the short, 29 min cycle and it gets everything clean. Yes, I pre-wash any stuck on food, but I've done that for every dishwasher I've ever used. There's an optional dry cycle for an hour after the cleaning cycle ends. I generally let it run for about 10-15 mins and then I pull the dishrack out and let it dry on the counter. Then, I either let the drying cycle run with no dishes inside to dry out the machine, or I turn it off and leave the tank lid off and the door slightly open for the same reason. Sometimes, this cycle bothers me, but not because it's loud, it's not. Just because it's a constant hum. It will continue humming after the hour until you press the power button or unplug the machine. CONS: Doesn't fit under my cabinets, but none of the countertop dishwashers on Amazon would. Sometimes the constant hum of the drying cycle bothers me. Because it's constant, not because it's too loud. But any music or tv or other distraction solves this issue immediately PROS: Dishwashing! Lol It's not loud. It has multiple cycles. I like the short one. The short cycle gets everything clean. Water tank, so no need to hook it up to a faucet to run it. Keeps my kitchen sink empty Can wash smaller pots and pans Great for one person who cooks or who doesn't Worth it!

I've been using this dishwasher approximately three times a day for the last 10 days. I'm surprised what a fantastic job it does washing the dishes. Easily as well as a normal dishwasher. It does not have a dedicated spot to put rinse jet dry in, so you have to remember to put it in right near the end of the cycle by opening the door and putting a couple of drops in. For me, that's no problem. I've been using it not hooked up to a water tap, but with the tank built in and that works fine, though it is an extra hassle, but where I'm using it there is no running water. So the only thing that I'm not sure about, is the long-term reliability. I had another countertop dishwasher that completely fell apart after about one year. If anything goes wrong, I will update this review, but so far I'm actually pleasantly surprised.

I absolutely love this product. It fits a lot more utensils than advertised. Personally, i removed the rack for the cups, cause it's too high and they couldn't fit. That's the only downside. I put it on my counter next to my sink and that's where it stays. The hoses connect well and i love being able to fill it from the top instead of plugging it in my sink. I live alone and having to cook and do the dishes is sometimes overwhelming, This helps a lot in reducing how much dishes i clean by hand. I'm very glad of this purchase and recommand it.

I just want to say to the creators of this product: I hope you feel good about yourselves when you go to work in the mornings. What you are doing for working-class people who live in apartments is indescribable. It is 100% worth the money. The manufacturer offers a long warranty on the product, more than a year. Clearly, they are confident in what they've made and its quality. As they should be. Note the huge pasta bowl in the photo; this little powerhouse holds more than you would think. It also arrived two days earlier than expected.

Perfect for two people works well

I have had this dishwasher several month now and have wished that I had bought it years ago. I arrive home from work exhausted and it is so nice to be able to put the dishes in a dishwasher. I am single and can go about three days between loads.
