- • Cleaning Performance: Reliable cleaning for small loads across everyday crockery and glassware
- • Best for: Renters, holiday lets, caravans and small households with limited space

Table-top dishwasher designed to fit on a countertop or be stored in a cupboard. Six selectable programmes give practical wash options for different needs.
Space-saving placement – with table-top design
Table-top configuration allows placement on a kitchen counter or storage inside a suitably sized cupboard, with dimensions H44 x W55 x D50 cm. Freestanding use removes the need for permanent built-in plumbing alterations.
Fits where a full-size appliance will not, freeing up floor space and avoiding difficult installation. Ideal where flexibility and temporary setups are required.
Flexible wash cycles – thanks to six programmes including ECO
Six programmes cover Intensive, Universal (normal loads), ECO, Glass, Quick 90' and Rapid 30', each tuned for different soil levels and crockery types. ECO reduces energy use through longer, lower-temperature washes while specialised cycles protect glassware.
Select a cycle to match the load, from gentle glass care to faster washes for light soils. Saves time and reduces the need for repeat washes.
Small-batch capacity – with six place settings and 25 cm plate clearance
Configured to accommodate up to six place settings with a maximum plate diameter of 25 cm, optimised for everyday household sets rather than large dinner-party loads.
Handle daily washing without filling a full-size machine, perfect for couples, single occupants or short-stay accommodation. Faster turnovers mean dishes are ready for the next meal sooner.
