eklipt Mini Table Top Dishwasher Portable Countertop Dishwasher with 5 Programs, Built-in 5L Water Tank Dual Water Supply Modes with Touch Control, LED Display, Drying Cycle & Fruit Wash

Within just two days it started leaking, leaving water all over my floor. By the end of the first week it was overflowing with water, throwing constant E3 errors, and then the heater gave out completely. Don’t waste your money or your time on this piece of junk – it’s absolute crap.

I bought this about 2 weeks ago to address the ever growing pile of non washed dishes. We have had full sized washers for quite a long time but now we dont have the room for one and hand washing has become less and less appealing. There are usually 3 adults who eat here at any one time over the 3 meals in a day plus snacks and drinks so its not unusual for there to be a large pile to tackle . Anyway. When we had a full sized ,it was only on about every 2nd day. WATER IN AND OUT This table top dishwasher has 1 fill pipe to plumb it in to the pipework, in the same fashion as a washing machine. You can also have the draining pipe go into one of those open topped grey water pipes if you have one , a washing machine outlet pipe hole or to go to the sink. We have ours straight to the sink. If you are plumbing in, you would need to drill holes to route the pipes. As ours is not plumbed for the fill, we are using the filling hole in the top. No funnel with this machine so you need to be careful not to overfill the jug. ADDING SOAP The soap goes in a small indentation in the front of the machine door or just throw it in the bottom . There is no facility to have rinse aid /detergent/salt as separate elements so we are using 3 in one dishwashing tablets . (Not supplied) Our water is very hard and so I am filtering the water before pouring it in the top . There is a supplied filling ug and it take 3 fills to have enough cold water. Plug in before filling and add slowly and it will beep at you when its got enough. LOADING I found that having larger plates start on the left under the fold up rack worked best, as they can tilt enough to avoid the top sprayer arm. You can also have them stand on the right with a lesser tilt which works best for smaller dinner plates and is the suggested load pattern. The folding rack can hold longish utensils or coffee sized cups or cutlery poked through. I put a long rubber band round ours to hold onto light plastic items to avoid them falling off with the force of the water. There is a small cutlery container (the lid comes off thankfully as the holes are quite small). It can take 3 or 4 peoples cutlery for the day. You also get a good sized basket for washing fruit and veg on the fruit cycle ,(cold water only and no drying) This can be used for plastic toys etc. WATER ECONOMY This always uses the same amount of water no matter what the program 3 Full jugs I put our washing up bowl under the drain spout to see how much this is. It comes to about half the bowl full once its all drained. Some things wont fit in ofcourse so If the drained water is not too greasy, I will put them in the bowl of used water which is pretty hot still and wash them after the washer has drained. This works well for pots and the air fryer pan NO LIGHT I know that some of these similar washers have a light inside, this one does not. Its not broken, there just isnt one. VARIOUS PROGRAMMES I always use the quick setting. It takes 29 minutes Because it uses so little water, the heating part is really quick. I load the machine, add soap, turn on and set my timer then back just before it goes to turn its drying bit on. Then I just turn it off. Pop a dish towel over it (catches condensation) and wait a few minutes and then whip it all out and dry it with the towel. It is mostly already dry. There is also standard 69 mins for normal soiled plates eco 59 mins strong 89 mins heavily soiled plates and I think you could use for baby bottles etc fruit 19 mins (tap temperature) dry cycle is 60 mins If left on and plugged in, it will circulate fresh air through itself for 73 hours so no pongy machine after a weekend away. NO DELAY OPTION SOUND This is quiet. Even the emptying pump out is a soft sound. I can run it at 4 in the morning absolutely certain that the neighbours cant hear it. So it can run in the cheap tarrif times . I havent tried if I can use a timer plug with it. To get it to go you need to actually press the power switch and then the programme mode switch So my guess is that it cant because of the need for 2 presses but I might be wrong and will likely try it when we next have a timer plug to hand. CLEANING I always clean the filter after every use as it is literally, unscrew it lift it out , wash under the tap and check for bits. Take out the mesh plate at the same time and a quick rinse and thats it done. Wipe it and dry it off. You can see the round heating element under the mesh plate and that sometimes needs a clean. The top rotor unscrews and is worth checking every few days as it gets little gritty bits in sometimes. The bottom rotor unclips if you gently widen the two clips with your thimbs and lift it off. If it hasnt vacated all the water at the end, it probably has some bits caught under the filter, typical culprits are onion bits or rice. If you scrape your plates before adding, it mostly has no problem getting everything clean and shiny. QUICK TO USE That all sounds quite a long job but really 2 mins to fill with water , 2 mins to load the dishes. 29 mins wash or whatever you choose ( you just wait so it nearly doesnt count) 2 mins to unload and 2 mins to clean it all round. Done. Thank you little machine and I'll see you again tomorrow morning!

good value for money, Very small capacity but washes well. Better if it had an interior light in this model. The metal grid in the base was bent but not sure if this is meant to be. It has not affected the performance. Note one person user though.

This is small and fits under the sink, we plumbed it in, does a great job
