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

Update for January 2026: Dishwasher is still amazing! Don’t hesitate; just buy it if your home lacks a dishwasher. Future you will thank you! I only wish the company made a larger portable version. I would probably trade in for that if it has the same performance. Original review: Only a couple weeks into having this and I can’t believe I didn’t think of a countertop dishwasher before now! This machine is great! We just hosted a giant Thanksgiving dinner for family and this machine did wonderfully. If you’re thinking about getting a countertop, do it. You won’t regret it! We got a countertop dishwasher because we rent and I really didn’t want to spend money on a rolling dishwasher that could take up more space, and frankly, they typically have poorer reviews overall. It’s not large but it fits enough for daily loads for our family of 3. For Thanksgiving, we had many more people and it was so nice to load it while cooking and running it so that after dinner we had an easy clean up of what dishes we used to eat and drink. My Corelle dinner plates that I’ve owned for years fit perfectly in it along with many other things. Its small size also helps with counter space so we still have room to prep food, set out plates, etc. Because I simply don’t want to deal with a hose, we use the water tank option, which is convenient and opens up our sink for additional use. Set up was easy. Because of other reviews, I made sure the drain hose was facing downward in the sink basin next to it and just put our drying rack right over it to ensue it stays down for draining. Drains very well doing that! The heat drying feature works well and I really like the fact that it circulates fresh air for up to 73 hours afterwards. I’ve seen a few reviews about the smell of the dishwasher but I always use a tiny bit of vinegar in every load (along with a dishwasher pod), so I think it helps with the smell that can develop with plastic interiors. We also have fairly hard water so the vinegar (poured into the dishwasher, not the water tank) helps with that issue. Don’t use rinse aid in this dishwasher, unless you get a small rinse aid rack. With the small size, white vinegar is a better option since rinse aid is still a surfactant.

I received our new Hermitlux counter top dishwasher yesterday evening, a full 4 days sooner than originally anticipated. It was very well boxed and the dishwasher arrived in perfect condition. I knew from reading other reviews that it was important to measure your counter space to make sure this item would fit. I new ahead of time that this wouldn't fit under my cupboards, so I had made space on the counter next to sink to accommodate it, especially the drain hose which is just long enough. I had read other reviews that stated they couldn't get the suction cup on the drain hose to work with their sink. We didn't have that issue and the dishwasher has drained well each of the 3 times we've already used it since receiving it. The directions are very poor, but the unit is pretty straight forward and was easy to set up and to use. I've used it 3 times on the 29 minute cycle only. At the end of each cycle, I took the dishes out of the dishwasher and placed them in the rack to dry. The dishwasher uses about 5 pitchers full of water. I had no issues pouring the water into the water compartment and once the unit is turned on, it does beep when the water compartment is full. The directions don't say this, but it appears to me that the dishwasher cycles 3 times. It drained once about 1/3 through the 29 minute cycle and the water was soapy and close to the temperature at which I used when I poured the water in before starting the cycle. The second drain happened 2/3 of time into the cycle and the water was cleaner and warmer. On the third and final drain, the water was quite hot and clear. The dishwasher does get the dishes very clean and I'm quite happy in that regard. What I'm not happy about is the choice of photo shopped pictures that lead one to believe that this unit is larger than it is. I include one of the sellers own "photos" showing placement of cups, bowls, plates and silver ware that are no where close to being a true representation of what this dishwasher is capable of. I have included my own unaltered pictures that show a true representation of what will fit in this ting. It's ok, but nearly as big as one is lead to believe. The silverware basket is a joke. I had to take the basket top off completely because literally none of my silverware would fit into the tiny holes set up for a single piece of silverware. Taking the top off did allow me to get some silverware in there and it seemed to work ok. The cup rack on top can be pushed up out of the way if not needed. I don't have a single cup that fits that rack. It's so small you might be able to get a couple tiny espresso cups to fit, but a single regular 10 ounce cup, let alone my 14 ounce cups. It works pretty good for holding larger utensils and small baby bottles. Everything came out very clean . Oh, it will only accommodate plates up to 10.5 inches. And those have to be angled slightly before the rack can be pushed in. This unit is very limited as to how many pieces if kitchen ware its going to clean in one cycle. But it's a good stopgap for us until we can get a new full size dishwasher. It's way better than hand washing and I feel the final cycle gets hot enough that the dishes are full rinsed and cleaned. For the price, it's worth it. Edit: I changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars. I've had this dishwasher a full month now and I love it. All the dishes come out so clean and I've learned how to arrange dishes to maximize wash load. It's so easy to use. In a normal day, I wash 2 loads of dishes. For me, that's doable and with how well this little machine cleans, it's worth to me.

Sweep off any solid food like rice, food chunks, etc otherwise you might clog your hose/machine and ruin your dishwasher long term. No need to prewash just get rid of solid food pieces. Only feed normal tap water temperature NOT hot water you can ruin your dishwasher. The machine can heats up the water itself. Standard mode (60 minutes) can wash off dried on hard sauces consistently, cheese graters eith cheese cakes on, etc Put cups and bowls in at an angle for best results. The machine can clean off small items with oil/grease on them during standard cycle. Cleans utensils consistently. Quick wash (30 minutes) does not wash off hard overnight sauces/juice/milk. Does not clean heavy oil/grease or stuck on cheese. Best if used for freshly used utensils/dishes/cups that have not sat around. Havent tried the other modes as there is no need seeing as Standard takes care of everything really well . Strong mode lasts longer, needs slightly more soap, and might do best with heavily soiled dishes, super hard stuck food/cheese, oily/greasy dishes that doesn't come off with Standard mode. The largest size plate you can fit standing up and will wash correctly is 10.25in this machine. Fits a good number of dishes. Dont expect to wash pots and pans in there. Im very pleased with the size, amount of dishes it washes, how well it cleans and how its pretty quiet other than a soft hum and the occasional splash of water. Not disruptive, could probably run while napping nearby and not notice.

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

Es perfecta para mi cocina pequeña. No sé cómo no la descubrí antes. Me animé a comprarla después de leer una reseña donde mencionaban que se podía instalar bajo la tarja, y así lo hice. La instalación fue sencilla, ya que la caja incluye una manguera que permite conectarla directamente a la llave. Un plomero nos ayudó a adaptarla para que desaguara en la tubería, por lo que ahora funciona de manera automática: se alimenta del agua de la llave y desagua sin problemas. Configurado de esta manera funciona muy similar a una lavadora de ropa. Si no quieres gastar en una instalación o tienes más espacio, puedes simplemente colocarla sobre la encimera, echarle dos jarras de agua, añadir el jabón, cerrar la puerta y poner la manguera en un lugar para que desagüe. Tiene capacidad para cuatro servicios, pero también me ha sorprendido al acomodar sartenes, ollas pequeñas, tablas de picar, ¡e incluso mi termo Stanley grande (colocado de lado y sin demasiados trastes)! Como cualquier lavavajillas es importante enjuagar bien los trastes antes de colocarlos dentro, así te aseguras de que salgan súper limpios. Me encanta este producto porque, después de comer, enjuagamos los platos de inmediato y los colocamos en el lavavajillas. De esta manera, cuando ya está lleno, solo añadimos el jabón, programamos el ciclo y nos olvidamos. Al terminar, todo está limpio y listo para guardar, ¡sin montañas de platos apilados en el fregadero! La función que más uso y recomiendo es QUICK. Además, tiene una función increíble que no mencionan en la descripción: ¡lava frutas y verduras! Las deja impecables. También cuenta con una función solo de secado, que es muy práctica. Por último, uso el detergente en polvo Finish, que se encuentra fácilmente en tiendas como La Comer y Walmart, y necesitas muy poquito (como una cucharada que colocas en un cuadrito por la parte de adentro de la puerta), para que todo quede súper limpio. En resumen: usa muy poca agua (equivalente a dos jarras pequeñas), deja todo impecable, tiene buen espacio y ofrece dos funciones adicionales: lavado de frutas y secado. Calificación: 10/10. ¡Súper recomendable!

bonjour il y a un problème elle ne s èvacue plus a cause du produit que vous m'avez consseller quesqui faut faire?

Like many others who have bought this, I am a single mother of two who lives in an apartment building with no dishwasher and I happen to HATE doing dishes by hand. I finally caved and save up and bought this countertop dishwasher. I don’t have much counterspace to begin with and it made a few dishes look like ALOT and was constantly overwhelming to the point I’d keep putting it off and affecting my mental health. You definitely can put alot more dishes in this dishwasher than they say, if you’re into playing jenga and getting it just right. My dishes always come out clean and only having to wash bigger things like pots and pans with this doing the rest has saved my sanity. It ships well and is packed well completely surrounded in Styrofoam. The dishwasher itself is taped very secure and all the things like cup, fruit bowl, etc are also secured and not just bouncing around inside. It is VERY easy to set up (not too sure about plumbing it in but just using the tank) I don’t have a lot of experience with appliances and I’m not a fan of instructions and it took me all of maybe 10 minutes to get it out of the box and set up ready to be used. The first few times I used it it did have a bit of a plastic smell but it goes away. The heater that heats the water works extremely well and my dishes always come out hot. I don’t have the option to plumb it in which is why I picked this specific one but the tank works well and takes about 3 pitchers to fill. The drain hose is easy to hook up and very long so it’s nice not having to have it right next to the sink to use. The hose also has a suction cup to keep it in your sink which is an added bonus, but be cautious of just how much pressure it has draining water and make sure it’s secure unless you enjoy having water all over your kitchen. Another added bonus is the clear glass window keeps kids entertained watching the dishes being washed 😂 it is decently quiet for a countertop dishwasher but don’t expect to not hear it, you definitely can hear how much pressure it cleans with. Overall it is definitely worth the money.
