- • Cleaning Performance: Thorough washing leaves dishes sparkling, with users reporting effective removal of everyday food residues.
- • Best for: Small households, students, camper vans, holiday homes and anyone short on kitchen space
- • Not ideal for: Large families or users who need full-size dishwasher capacity and continuous heavy loads
Countertop dishwasher runs from a 5-litre jug or can be plumbed in like a conventional machine. Includes a baby bottle rack plus heating and steam functions for hygienic drying.
Portable cleaning anywhere - thanks to jug-fill and plug-in operation
Supplied jug holds 5 litres of water so the unit operates without a fixed water connection; plug into a standard socket and route the waste hose into the sink to drain. Alternatively, connect permanently by plumbing in like a normal dishwasher.
Makes washing possible in student flats, caravans and holiday lets where plumbing is unavailable, removing the need to handwash after meals.
Hygienic drying and sterilisation - with heating and steam functions
Heating and steam cycles raise temperature during the final stage to aid drying and reduce bacteria, and dedicated fruit and baby bottle wash settings accommodate delicate items. Steam assists in loosening stubborn residues during wash programmes.
Leaves bottles and cutlery ready to use straight away, cutting down on manual drying and improving hygiene for infant items.
Flexible installation options - with tap connection or plumb-in capability
Connect to a kitchen tap by removing most aerators and fitting a common adaptor such as a 3/4 x 1/2 or 22mm x 3/4 coupler, or install as a conventional plumbed dishwasher; waste hose simply drains into the sink.
Gives a choice between quick temporary setups for short stays and a permanent installation for everyday home use.
