This mini countertop dishwasher is ideal for:
Yes, this table top dishwasher requires connection to a water supply and waste outlet. You have two options: 1) Standard plumbed connection like a full-size dishwasher, or 2) Connection to your kitchen tap using a suitable adapter (sold separately), with waste water emptying into the sink.
The 6 place settings capacity means you can wash up to 67 pieces of tableware per cycle. This includes dinner plates (up to 250mm diameter), side plates, bowls, cups, glasses, and cutlery – perfect for a couple’s daily washing needs or a small family’s single meal cleanup.
47 decibels is comparable to a quiet conversation or a library. This makes the dishwasher suitable for open-plan living spaces and overnight washing when using the delay start function. You won’t be disturbed while watching TV in the same room.
The 1-24 hour delay start allows you to load the dishwasher and set it to begin the wash cycle at a later time. This is particularly useful for running cycles during off-peak electricity hours (typically night-time) to save money on your energy bills.
Yes, for optimal cleaning results, you should use dishwasher salt (to soften the water) and rinse aid (for streak-free drying). The dishwasher has convenient LED indicators that alert you when these need refilling.
This model requires a water supply connection (plumbed or tap adapter), while the no-plumbing model has a built-in 6L water tank you fill manually. This plumbed model offers more convenience for regular use as you don’t need to refill water manually before each cycle.
Yes, the flexible racking system accommodates plates up to 250mm (25cm) in diameter, which covers most standard dinner plates. The adjustable rack design also allows for various dish sizes and shapes.
The COMFEE’ table top dishwasher comes with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. UK customer support is available, and spare parts remain accessible for long-term serviceability.

It’s also really simple to use once it’s up and running, I absolutely love it :)
Only things worth mentioning is it’s very very heavy! So don’t recommend lifting it alone,
and if you aren’t planning on plumbing it in you’ll also need to buy a tap diverter adaptor, but they’re relatively cheap on here and I found it easy to connect the dishwasher to the adaptor once it was set up.
I have put one load through on the short cycle. Everything came out perfectly clean.
I have still to find just where I want to put it. (Filling it is difficult as not enough room when placed under my kitchen units.) I will find a way.
Was easy to set up.
I have seen a review about adding additional suction cups. I found the suction cups a bit useless.
So! I drilled a couple of small holes in the top of my washing up bowl. Put a zip tie in it!! Worked like a charm.
have purchased it but after using for first whole week i can easily say i made the
right choice and im happy with its perforamnce so far.
First of all its easy to setup ,it does not take that much space.its compact and doest
the job nicely.
plenty of space for a small family ,baby feeders etc cleaning functions is very helpful.
it uses less whater and its energy effecient too .
the only tricky part is youhave to place the items in right direction and once you have done it leave
the rest to this smart machine.Job done !
Excellent value for money and highly recommended
The cleaning performance is excellent. Plates, cups, and utensils come out spotless, even with greasy dishes. There are several wash programs to choose from depending on how dirty the dishes are, and it runs pretty quietly too, which is a big plus.
Overall, the value for money is great. It really saves time and effort, making life so much easier. Perfect for one person or small households. Highly recommended
I've used the 8-place model before, and it worked great, but I needed something smaller.
Too bad, I didn't get to use it since it was seriously damaged and I'm sending it back.
I've had this for three months (almost) and use it every day.
Pros:
- It sits on the worktop, so you are working at one level moving things in and out of the dishwasher with no fear of slipping or tripping onto utensils when the door is open.
- It is self-fill or plumb to a tap.
- You can see inside to be sure nothing is blocking the water from reaching everywhere.
- You can interrupt a programme to switch things in and out (rinse yourself under the tap), or to move things around just by opening the door.
- You can add tap-warm or cold water.
- It is a powerful water jet that does reach all things.
- It does fit a standard sized frying pan, and most pan sizes.
- It doesn't cost a fortune to run.
- You can empty of water as needed with the drain option.
- The vent helps, but it's not a smelly dishwasher because everything is easy to get to, you can see if there are gubbins in the drain sieve.
- You can wipe it out inside after oily tomato dishes and rinse water through with the drain option.
*I found workarounds to all the cons*
Cons:
- The drawer is not great with preset spaces for plates, it's a bit impractical for the designs of crockery we use today. That said the rack does fold away. So I bought an expandable metal rack that fits bowls and pasta bowls and deeper rimmed plates, which sits on top of the folded away rack. ** worth pointing out it is the same for all dishwashers, no matter the make.
- It takes 3x2litre jugs of water and a smidge more, so the 5 litre capacity stated in the description is not accurate on water capacity. That said you can get tap adapters which allow flow-through for normal use and a lever to switch to hose-fill for the dishwasher.
- The cutlery thing makes no sense, it's just a faff, because you cannot use the space above or below it while things are dangling through, and some cutlery falls through, so better to use that space for cups and buy dishwasher cutlery basket that fits your needs.
- * Depending on the space between your worktop and any upper cabinets or shelves it may not fit because you need space to add water at the top, unless you are going to use a tap adapter. But check anyway.
For the manufacturer to consider: no need for fixed plate racks that do not fit today's crockery designs, just leave a flat space and add removable, expandable racks; sort out that cutlery rack, it's just silly.
- The timing for programmes, some are too long (2hrs45 is not necessary) they could all be better purposed as user determined presets: wash for 8min segments, add a 2 minute pause for swap ins, 8 min wash again, etc, then add a rinse segments.
- The variety of programmes: the fruit and baby washes, and the steam feature are practical enough for purpose, if you have a baby, feel washing fruit under a tap is inadequate or have a virus and want to be extra hygienic, but for most people these are not all the time.
4 stars is because I had to find workarounds for the ill-fitting crockery rack and cutlery basket.
All things considered I love it. It's been such a help for me, and if you're interested and you've considered all the above I totally recommend it as one of the most energy efficient and practically priced, self-fill/plumb table-top dishwashers available.
*MY WORKAROUNDS
FROM AMAZON I bought a TAP ATTACHMENT/FITTING: Tecmolog Brass Sink Valve Diverter Faucet Splitter for Kitchen or Bathroom, 3 Way Diverter Valve, Sink Faucet Replacement Part M22 X M24, Chrome, SBA021C - to hose-fill, you have to start the programme for the water to pull through, which is different to self-fill the programme will not start if there isn't enough water. (copy past that into search)
FROM AMAZON. I also took off the cutlery shelf thingum and added a CUTLERY BASKET: Find A Spare Universal Cutlery Utensil Silverware Plastic Grey Basket 2in1 Detachable To Fit Bosch Samsung Maytag Kenmore Whirlpool KitchenAid LG Fridges (search that in Amazon) because it comes in two and is pretty slimline.
And most importantly if you have deep-rimmed plates or pasta dishes, FROM AMAZON I bought a PLATE RACK: MEETOZ Dish Plate Drying Rack, Pot Lid Holder, Adjustable Pot Lid Organizer, Kitchen Cabinet Pantry Pan and Pot Lid Organizer Rack Holder (2Pcs) - because they are expandable to any plate rim size, so I fold down the original rack and place this on top then load up.
** Some reviews mentioned droplets of water inside, mine had this, but that's because they have to run the cycles at the manufacturing plant to test it. Mine arrived without knocks and bangs and with everything factory wrapped inside.
The photo shows it pulled forward on my worktop, next to Jemima my biscuit barrel who gets along fine with it too.
The only, very mild, annoyance, which isn't the products fault, is that much less detergent is needed as it's so much smaller and it's proven difficult to find unportioned detergent as it seems to only come in tabs of one sort or another. I'm using powder tabs and cutting them in half for the moment which seems to be effective.
Over all though, I love it!
The built-in water tank is ideal, and the steam wash and baby care functions are incredibly useful. It cleans dishes thoroughly, runs quietly, and the 72-hour air circulation keeps everything fresh until you unload.
It’s compact but surprisingly spacious inside, perfect for a small family. I’m really happy with the quality and how much easier it has made daily life. Highly recommend it for anyone short on space but still wanting a proper dishwasher.
job very well .I bough this for my new apartment,i dont have enough space
to install a full size but since i have bought this im very satisfied.
The dishwasher is well easy to setup and also simple to operate .
it cleans and dries the utencils properly .its also energy effecient ,does not use
much of energy .Unlike my previous dhswasher unit it does not make much noise and
gets the job done quietly which is impressive .
Happy with my purchase and i ll not hesitate buying another one for my sister's
home next month.
Well worth the price and good value.
It is super convenient and surprisingly powerful and runs quietly.
I like that it fits on top of the counter top and drains directly into the sink. It is perfect for a couple and can easily handle a days dishwashing.
It’s a good storage area too, so it can keep your dishes stored in there once washed for 72 hours, if you are unable to empty it straightway. It runs quietly, so there isn’t much noise, it doesn’t bother you whilst working nearby.
Setup was easy, the manual was easy to follow and it came with everything you need. It does really save you from handwashing and saves a whole lot of water.
Overall it is a sturdy piece and looks good too
Well worth the money highly recommend this is the second purchase from this range great table top dishwasher
My only issue is that the inside of the machine needs wiping down after each cycle due to residue accumulating around the door seal. It can be a little tricky to get into the crevices, and I can imagine it could get quite unpleasant if not cleaned regularly.
We decided not to plumb it in due to the proximity of our sink. We fill the 6-litre tank using a hose we attach to our tap—this method is quicker and less messy than using the supplied jug (note: no funnel is provided to assist with filling the tank). I also found the waste hose supplied wasn’t suitable for where we wanted the dishwasher to sit, as I wanted it as flush to the wall as possible. I encountered an error code during the first cycle because the waste hose was too bent. After searching high and low online, I finally found a Kenwood drain hose (manufacturer’s part number: 12676000000962) that fits the 15mm drain pipe perfectly and allows me to position the machine as originally planned. Please see the photos for our setup.
In conclusion, I’d recommend this dishwasher to anyone who doesn’t have space for a full-sized one. It saves us time, and it’s lovely having squeaky clean tableware.
Overall really happy with the product and would recommend
You will likely need to buy new dishes and utensils to fit properly - I found some 25cm diameter plates from IKEA which are ideal. The loading tray can be somewhat fiddly, and it would have earned five stars if the layout was better designed. Filling it completely can be tricky, and realistically, it holds dishes for about six meals, meaning you’ll likely need to run it every other day.
The dishwasher struggles with rice and other stubborn, stuck-on food, so rinsing these items beforehand is necessary. Filling with salt and rinse aid is straightforward, and the washing programs generally produce sparkling clean dishes.
If space weren't an issue, I'd definitely prefer a full-size dishwasher, but given my limitations, this is a suitable alternative. However, I do wish it were slightly bigger, as I have room for a somewhat larger unit.
For installation it’s very easy to install same with plumbing. I would really recommend for small families of 2 people ☺️
Cleans brilliant, and no drying up either. My cups which I thought were clean weren't. Now all gleaming inside and out. Well worth the money.
Really easy to set up. You can attach to a water supply or use the tank in the back of the machine to fill with water. Top tip - if using the tank be careful not to overfill as it causes water to get into the bottom tray and you'll get the E4 fault. Easily fixed but best avoided.
The inside is roomier than you might think. You can either do a few plates cups and cutlery or remove some tray parts to fit small pots and pans. Perfect for a student or small kitchen.
Fairly quiet running with multiple functions including a fruit bowl to wash fruit and a jug to fill the tank.
Not badly priced for what you get and is a good idea for space management.
Overall good.
Firstly, if the pipes are properly routed, it is possible to plumb the machine into a kitchen tap with minimum obtrusion. In order to do this, a tap diverter is required, available from many popular websites (i.e. this one). This is the thing on the end of the tap that the inlet hose connects to. The machine uses a "washing machine" hose which is 3/4 inch, so a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch adapter is required, which is sealed with either PTFE tape or Loctite 567. The key part is to orient the hose to the rear (not side-on) so that it is hardly visible when fitted.
In order to run a cycle, the machine needs to fill itself with 6 litres of water which happens in the first few minutes of the program. After this, the tap diverter can be switched back and the tap turned off. If the machine is unable to fill itself within a certain timeframe, it beeps and requires the Start button to be pressed to continue the cycle.
It is possible to stop the machine mid-cycle to add extra dishes by pressing the Start button.
In order to force the machine to drain all the water in it's sump and tank, hold the "Hygiene 72deg" and "Rapid" buttons for 3 seconds and it will pump all the water out.
The drain hose is routed into the sink and secured to the side with a 12mm hose clip attached with 3M VHB tape for the strongest bond.
Regarding detergents, don't be tempted to try any form of liquid or gel as the machine initiates every cycle by emptying its sump (which is where it will be). I have had excellent results with supermarket tablets which cost around 8p each, and honestly clean identically to the premium brands.
To improve the cutlery capacity, I switched the cutlery shelf with a cutlery basket for commercial dishwashers, which allows for more cutlery and better cleaning.
When loading the machine, it is important to remember that most of the cleaning is done by the spinner on the bottom, with a mini-spinner at the top with much lower pressure. Make sure that all the dishes can be hit by the water jets from the bottom spinner, otherwise they won't be properly cleaned. With this in mind, the machine can hold an impressive amount of dishes and cutlery if properly stacked.
Take note, for most programs (except "Rapid") the machine will do about 10 minutes of drying using a fan at the end of the cycle, during which it emits steam from the vent on the top. It is important that the machine is not placed underneath cupboards, especially if there is any lighting fitted as it will rapidly cause damage. I have oriented the machine sideways so that the vent is not blocked by the cupboards, which is very important.
In future models, it would be good to position the steam vent at the front of the machine, so that it can be orientated frontways when located beneath cupboards. Also, a right angle drain hose would also make it neater, although this is not essential.
Overall, I am amazed by the cleaning power of the machine especially on the Rapid setting (which takes only half an hour), and it really makes life easier.
Fortunately we had 2 years of warranty that time so Comfee refunded the full amount! 👍 (absolutely amazing customer service)
and we ordered the new one (Energy D)
as we were really satisfied with this dishwasher.
Compactness: very compact we can put on top of the counter as we cannot fit a normal dishwasher.
Plumbing: didn’t want to plumb in or call a plumber so I decided to connect to the kitchen tap this time, rather than pouring 6L water every time.
✨ I ordered a tap diverter from Amazon and ordered 1/2 female to 3/4 male adaptor to connect to the water pipe as shown in the pictures.
You need to turn on the tap and start the dishwasher and then the water will fill up.
Once the beeping sound telling you the water is filled, you can close the tap.
Which means you don’t need to run the tap all the time 👍
I like that there is a salt container as we live in hard water area, which I don’t find in other countertop dishwasher.
‼️ When first arrived, inside can be wet due to its test running! which is mentioned on the machine.
Some customers complained about that inside is wet and seems like it is used, but it is because of the test.
Only downside is that they reduce the warranty period to 1 year. I didn’t want to take a risk buying Xcover as seeing many negative reviews. I just need to good care of it.
It has been absolutely brilliant countertop dishwasher for sure! Make life so much easier. It fits a lot than you expected. 👍 very happy customer
——— add ————
There is rattling sound from the right panel when running. When I hold it tight it does not make any noises but as its own it does.
I am not sure whether it is faulty or not.
my main reason for buying this type is it sits nicely next to my sink and under a cupboard nicely.. its plumbed in via a Y input socet for the water but in my case not plumbed for waste flow (i drain it strait into the sink like an old twin tub washing machine) .. works like a dream.
my ONLY gripe with this brand is you cant get the 1 year guarentee in the UK as its an Aussie import and all the pamflets reflect that alas. and thats why i give it only 4 star.. nonetheless a solid reliable machine :)
It works well and has a 30 minute run mode which works well. It takes full size dishes, pint glasses, and everything else very well.
I can't really use it to clean pots and pans as the handles take up a lot of space but I mostly handwash those as needed.
Would buy again.
Had a lot of trouble with white stains and residue tried altering rinse aid and different powders to no avail, tried tablets also no good the only ones that work perfectly are the Fairy pods, now have pristine dishwasher, pans, crockery and cutlery. When using the pods do not use rinse aid and salt.
Just to say I live in a very hard water area!
I would recommend this Comfee tabletop dishwasher.
The dishwasher effectively cleans dishes, but it's worth noting that larger plates may require angling to fit properly. Additionally, the cup rack is suitable for small cups but not ideal for mugs.
Despite these minor quirks, the overall cleaning quality is good. It's a great addition to a small kitchen, providing convenience without taking up much space. If you're looking for an efficient and compact dishwasher for a smaller household, this one is worth considering.
Space wise it IS fiddly. You need to plan what you’re doing a bit and load from the back forwards. All but our largest plates do fit in. You can get the odd bigger utensil in like a small saucepan but it isn’t really for you that so you do still end up having to wash up the pots, pans, mixing bowls, casserole dishes etc. But then with any dishwasher you’ll have some stuff you can’t put in anyway.
Quiet enough you can’t hear it’s on when the utility room door is closed.
Really wish it had a light, I’ve no idea if any dishwashers do but it would be a big help.
All in all for the money and the space I was willing to give up to one we are very happy with it.
1. Assembling: a bit painful if you need to get extra connectors. I recommend “ 1 Piece Faucet Diverter Alloy Shower Diverter Valve Shower Head Adapter Used for Kitchen Sink Faucets or Bathroom Sink Faucets”, as shown in the picture, we use it to connect the water input with our kitchen Faucet(you might need another part-something like a screw, we find it at ScrewFix). In this way, we could use our faucet, while letting it provide the water for the dish washer.
2. Cleaning: For Eco mode, you need approximately 3 hours, which is not quick, but acceptable. And it works very well, you will get your shiny bugs and bowls. Oh, and of course, it dry all the items.
3. Noise: please refer to the video. It is not totally quiet but it is not annoying.
Waskes well, if very soiled needs to put on the higher temp. Also it won't remove some dirt from forks and knilives on low temps.. same as if you would wash by hand.

Since buying this Comfee dishwasher in Oct 2022, we have had nothing but praise for it. So much so that people are still asking us about it and where we got it, so thats why I re-visited this product page to give them the link, and thought I would update the review here. As others have said, it just works, and it works well! We use the 90 minute cycle the most, dishes come out clean and dry, and even those big full size dinner plates that you might not think will fit, they still fit, you just put then in on a slight angle, and they just stay in place. Just like a normal dishwasher, just keep in mind how the water jets will hit the items, and make sure the dirty sides of the plates and bowls have direct access to the jets coming from the bottom, and all will be well. We even manage to fit in our big sauce pan, frying pan, and even our Ninja Foodi pan and crisper basket fit. Not all these at once obviously, but in one cycle we'll do one of the big items mentioned above, as well as several plates and bowls and lots of cutlery. We have one of the cutlery basket spacer things in place, and the other side is kept as an open basket for things that are too big to fit in the slots. Long things go on the edge supports or just draped over the plates. Sometimes we can even get away with using only half a dishwasher tablet. We use the Ecover all in one tablets, as we need something environmentally friendly as we use this on a canal boat.
Install Notes:
We have this plumbed in to the cold water feed which was dead simple to do as the existing piping is all push fit Hep2O connectors. So just head to Screwfix/Toolstation for the parts you need. And the outlet plumbing is very simply plumbed into the appliance connection under the sink, as we have an IKEA sink. If you have an IKEA sink too, and only have one applicance connector, you can buy a single second one to attach on the to end, to have 2 appliance connectors. We have 2, one for the dishwasher, and one for the washing machine. Works great.
Kitchen Cabinet Installation:
it works really well in an IKEA kitchen customized METOD cabinet edited using their kitchen planner software. Just get the bare METOD cabinet, and add 2 shelves in, and you can even have left over space for a pop out chopping board above, and a 20cm drawer below!
Final tips:
And just remember at the end of the cycle when it beeps and displays END, it's worth just popping the door open and leaving it ajar slightly, this really helps the dishes dry even faster. Some full size dishwashers do this opening at the end automatically, but you really can't want more from this great little unit for the price.

Original Review 2022:
Not much to say yet, other than that it works great and was very easy to install myself, with no real plumbing experience. It's quiet and I also find half a dishwasher tablet seems to be good enough! Will hopefully remember to update review if there's ever an issue, but very happy so far!
Mine arrived with dents on every corner and the handle was broken on the cutlery holder. I did contact amazon and send them many images but apparently they 'couldn't see the damage on the 5 images i sent' The dishwasher isn't packaged amazing either, you will see when it arrives how the box doesnt really protect the product. However for a small cheap dishwasher it does the job. You need a Y shaped piece so that you can fit it in and have a washing machine connected to your sink pipes. I leave the waste water hose in the sink, its a little messy looking but as Im living in a rental home, I cant drill through the work tops to hide it.
First, as others have said, genius packaging! What a pleasure not to have the usual cardboard and tape battle to begin.
Installation was a doddle. Connect a couple of hoses, plug it in, and off we go... Though I did use a jubilee clip on the outlet connection, just to be sure.
The photo shows it in a (new) b&q 600mm standard cabinet. I slightly miscalculated and thought the cabinet door would fit, but it's just too deep - I think if I'd gone for a full cupboard, rather than drawer line set up, it would have fit perfectly.
The appliance itself seems sturdy, well made and the fuss-free design is pleasing to the eye. The door opens and shuts with a satisfying clunk, the basket rolls smoothly, and the compartment for tablets/powder seems robust enough.
Using is a doddle too. Press one button to cycle through the 6 preset programmes, and another to start. The digital display shows the length of the cycle, and counts down time left, which is handy as I don't need to remember which cycle is which.
Over the couple of weeks we've had it, I've tried a few of the cycles. For day to day cups, crockery and cutlery, the 30 min cycle is perfectly adequate. It doesn't have a "drying" component, but then the longer cycles don't really leave things "dry" anyway. The 90min cycle has handled oven dishes with cooked on gravy and sticky crumble juice. It's quieter than I expected (now I've realised that noise is the powder compartment opening, *not* a hose popping off!).
For such a small appliance, it does seem to hold a fair amount. With a bit of thought, it'll easily hold a whole day's washing up for the two of us - I've not completely filled it yet, even on Xmas day, and we get through a LOT of mugs!
All in all, I'm really impressed with what I've got for my money. Obviously I can't comment on longevity yet - I'll update if we run into any problems. The missing 5th star is just due to the basket design. I would have liked the slots for plates to be just a little bit deeper to hold them better - we have Denby crockery with thick lips, and it can be a bit fiddly to position them so they don't fall over.
This was the main reason we went for this one as others took more worktop space.
The instructions were simple to follow and they explained clearly how to install it and use the differenct cycles. We have bought an adapter which allows us to connect it to our kitchen tap and drainage hose runs straight into the sink.
We have mainly used two of the cycles. The rapid clean mode is perfect for cups and glasses which is the majority of our dishes. We tried it on dirtier items but it didn't clean the dirt completely.
For the dirtier washes like cutlery and bowls or plates we have used we generally use the universal cycle. I've attached a photo of each cycle's description in the instruction manual. This has been perfect and we've never had a wash come out bad.
I can highly recommend this dishwasher to anyone who wants one in their home but doesn't have the possibility to have one fitted into a kitchen unit. It seems very good quality and we like the simple smart style of it.
The only problem we've encountered is that we cannot fit large plates or pans into this as the drawer height isn't tall enough.
We understand it's a compact dishwasher and have been happy to accept there are still a few items we will wash by hand. This has been a great purchase and I am very happy so far. Thanks for a great product.
