We love the design of this mini powerhouse.
It also has five wash cycles, including a unique fruit rinse cycle.
We will note that this dishwasher is quite loud.

We had to turn our TV on full blast to hear it.
However, well tolerate the loud noise if that means we wont have to be dishwasher-less.
Plus, theres never any food residue or water spots left behind.

Its small and made with a digital touch display, and it has a convenient built-in water tank.
Its small enough to fit on your countertop yet holds a decent amount of dishes for two.
We evaluated each models cleaning performance, features, capacity, and noise level.
You hear the word ‘portable’ and might figure the size is universally small, says Hobgood.
That is certainly not the case, so be sure to measure, measure, and measure some more!
Youll need those dimensions to ensure it will fit properly.
For those who are short on kitchen floor space, a countertop model may be a better choice.
That said, many countertop models will have digital front controls, which can still look sleek.
Bringer adds, Its a classic design and not usually as expensive in comparison.
Stainless steel is the better choice since its more durable than plastic.
How Loud the Dishwasher Is
The noise level of portable dishwashers (and full-sized dishwashers!)
is measured in decibels.
Its a feature most often found on freestanding portable dishwashers, rather than countertop models.
Youll find this function on both freestanding and countertop models.
