COMFEE' Countertop Dishwasher Portable, 6 Place Settings, Energy Star

So far so good! As a quick backstory, we have an old 70-year-old beach house with few frills and no real need for a full size dishwasher which we would have trouble finding room for anyway. So we bought a Farberware compact dishwasher a few years back, excellent little thing but found that if it only had an extra inch size here and there we could put full size dinner plates in. That and some of our smaller pots and pans would take up over half of the volume. What we did like was you did not have to hook it up to your water line, it had an in unit tank you filled up. Unfortunately you can't find a slightly larger countertop dishwasher with a built-in tank. A lot of reviews kept coming back to the Comfee . You see here. I guess another unfortunate thing is our faucet would not accept the adapter that comes with the dishwasher. The instructions were not exactly thrilled with hardwiring this into the existing Plumbing but doing some internet searching, some people made it work. I'm pretty handy but I decided to call a plumber and they looked at it and said absolutely no big deal. In 1 hour everything was hooked up including the drain and it all works fine. I've attached some pictures more so as proof as opposed to how it's done because your situation might be different. On to the machine itself. The interior can definitely swallow far more dishes and utensils than the Farberware. Certainly it has a limitations but it should easily handle the average daily load of two adults. The basket set up seems fairly variable and intuitive and so far everything I put in it seem to have its spot. As far as performance, I'm pleased but not thrilled. On my second use I purposely put in a bowl that had some all but dry oatmeal flakes here and there. I had it placed on a 45° angle along with maybe 3/4 of a load and the appropriate amount of gel detergent. I ran it on a normal cycle and once it was done they were still some left over indications of food. The next time I used it I put the bowl in the same spot and it was perfectly clean. I'm sure if I put the bowl upside down and on the most aggressive cycle it would have been cleaned the first time but laying the bowl down eats up valuable space inside. Really, that's the only thing that didn't go as well as I hope but it really is not a detraction considering this is not a full size dishwasher. The only other slight wince is that the control board requires several looks at instruction manual because some of the buttons are not very clear as to what they do. Once you use this several times it will come naturally. Two of the things I really like are that this is an extremely quiet unit compared to the Farberware and our full size dishwasher at home. Lastly, I do like that the door is not either open or shut, you can crack it open and inch or two for ventilation without it slamming shut or dropping down. I know that sounds picky but when we close up the house and head home for a week, it's a good idea to let the interior of the dishwasher air out. Definitely a good buy, likely one of the best countertop dishwashers you can own.

Ok, WOW. It took me a little bit from my original order to write this because I wanted to get some usage out of this. I live in an apartment which is older and doesn’t have a dishwasher, but I was sick of doing dishes by hand. I thought to buy this and I needed to make some adjustments so that’s why it took me a long time. 1. This dishwasher is NOT compatible with pull-out faucets. I had to learn the very hard way. Pull-out faucets are not equipped for high pressure situations. This is one of those situations. I had to buy SO many adapters just to make the dishwasher spout to fit and with those stacked up with eachother; water was spraying everywhere! Fast forward, I got great usage, but the dishes weren’t coming out clean and water eventually leaked out of the bottom of the sink all over the floor because the hose busted under pressure. 2. I had to find a faucet compatible. I asked my pall ChatGPT to find one compatible. I did and once that was installed, the dishwasher worked PERFECTLY. The dishes were HOT and clean. 3. As you can see by my pictures, you need counter space or it installed under the sink. You really should take the specs and measure your space before buying. That said, the height and width are perfect for where I have it. 4. I chose the color white to match my other appliances and to stand out from my dark cabinets. Though, if silver was an option, I would have bought that. 5. You can fit larger dishes than what is recommended, but you have to tilt them and make it fit. 6. You can put extremely dirty and caked food on the dishes in there and they’d come clean, but I rinse them before to keep the longevity of the machine. 7. You have to play around with the functions and choose the drying function on top of your cleaning function, which adds like 15 minutes. If you don’t, the dishes are wet. If so, leave the door cracked open when it’s done to dry them, but I wouldn’t recommend because you get water stains then. I put a stone mat on top that can absorb water if I don’t want to wait and I have a dish rack on the other side that I use to drain water if needed. 8. Yes, it cleans pots and pans great. Overall, I LOVE this. I feel like I never have to do a dish again, but I have to if I use a big pot that won’t fit. There’s two house chores that I hate. I hate folding laundry and I hate doing dishes… You will not be disappointed in this machine. Promise. Just have the compatible things and learn the functions and you’re set. Thanks for reading.

General summary: This is my two-month review. I've now washed 40 loads and can say with confidence that this dishwasher is great! It fits an entire day's worth of dishes from our family of three, including usually having room for a mixing bowl, a pan lid, or some tupperware along with the usual plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery. On dishwasher placement in the kitchen: We have limited counter space, so I originally set the dishwasher up on a wood kitchen cart that we had laying around, but I have since switched over to a metal kitchen prep table with dimensions of 24" W x 20" D x 36" H (also purchased from Amazon) to better approximate the height of our counters. Would definitely recommend this for others who have more floor space than counter space available. On dishes selection: If you are buying this around the same time you're buying your dishes, there are some things to know about what dishes you should buy. This does not fit the XL (10.5") corelle plates in an upright position, so if you want to use them they have to be put in at an angle which takes up more space. We retired our 10.5" plates and switched to all 8.5" corelle dinner plates, which fit beautifully! If you have really thick handled cutlery, you will not be able to use the spacer flap on the cutlery basket. (The spacer part does flip down so that it's an open basket, but you lose the option to keep all of your cutlery upright for maximum cleaning.) The second level lean-in rack on the left of the dishwasher fits teacups (we have the vintage corelle ones) and short mason jars. It probably would fit cappuccino cups, as well. But if you don't have short cups, you can lift it out of the way and put taller dishes underneath. I think you could put spatulas on it, too, but mine are usually very caked with food and so I put them in the main rack with the other dishes to be closer to the sprayer arms. On detergent: We've been using Finish Powerball Quantum dishwasher detergent packs, and all of our dishes have come out immaculately clean. I have not pre-rinsed a single dish, and we've washed may with caked on / dried out pasta sauce, refried beans, and eggs. I have not used rinse aid or anything else-- just a single pod does the job of both as far as I can tell. (I do remove debris from the plates that is larger than a pea, just for the sake of the filter not getting clogged prematurely.) One time I did not pay attention to the spacer flap on the cutlery basket sticking out, and I think it blocked the detergent door from opening all of the way. The contents of the pod were still partially in the detergent slot, but the dishes came out clean so I think enough soap did make it into the load. This has not happened again since I learned to keep the flap all the way up or down on the basket. On general operation: I have only run the machine on the standard settings. Basically you run the hot water at your faucet long enough to clear the cold water sitting in your pipes (you should actually do this with all dishwashers to optimize your pre-clean cycle), then turn the faucet off. Attach the hose to your faucet, turn the hot water back on all of the way, plug the dishwasher in to your outlet, press the power button, and then press the play button. It will run for 1:50 minutes (there is a countdown so you know how much time is left) and it beeps when it's done. If you need to use the faucet while the dishwasher is connected to your faucet, you can press the red bypass button and hot water from the faucet will be released out of the bottom of the quick-connect. Conclusion: 10/10 I would buy this dishwasher again. This is life changing as an apartment dweller. Honestly if we ever bought a house with a larger kitchen, I would consider installing one of these permanently behind a cabinet for small loads. The only thing this machine lacks is the ability to wash giant baking sheets or very oversized pots, simply due to the maximum size limits of being a portable dishwasher.

This was everything I have expected, and i used this countertop dishwasher for sometime now, and it has made daily cleanup so much easier. It fits perfectly in my apartment without taking up too much counter space. Despite its compact size, it easily handles the dishes from our daily meals. The different wash programs are very useful, especially the ECO mode for regular loads and the Baby-Care cycle for extra sanitation. It runs quietly, cleans dishes thoroughly, and uses less water than washing by hand. Setup was simple.

I wanted to get some use before reviewing. I purchased this Black Friday 2025 and have been using it almost daily since. Pros: It’s compact, but works well for our family of 2 and does a good job of washing dishes. I’ve loved the time and effort it saves us. For anything more than a single load, we end up doing two loads. I generally do the 45 minute cycle. Cons: I had to drill a hole in my countertop and cabinet walls to hook up to the hot water. Not completely necessary, but I don’t know how else you would do it, and I also wanted to conceal the drainage and water hoses coming from the back. It’s a fairly easy job for someone who isn’t handy like myself. With that said, that obviously won’t work for all countertops — mine are wood. Also the rack has some weird designs to it and don’t mesh well with my dishes, so I can’t load as full as I’d like. It also occasionally pops the breaker because it consumes a lot of energy. All in all, I still would purchase this again and recommend to others. We got it on a great holiday deal for around $180. But the amount of time and energy I have saved not handwashing dishes, I would have probably paid twice that.

I’ve had this dishwasher for about six weeks. It replaced an old one that I’ve had for eight years of the same size but a different company. This dishwasher is far superior has more cycle options but the one hour and 30 minute cycle works perfectly for all my dishes. They come very clean they’re dry. It’s just amazing. We did do a permanent installation underneath the 125-year-old sink so when I needed a new one, all we had to do was screw off the old hoses on the back of the old dishwasher and screw them onto the new one because they were the same. I highly recommend this wonderful dishwasher. It’s aesthetically pleasing holds a lot of dishes and does an amazing job and the bottom portion where you clean the filter at least on a weekly basis is so easy to remove and rinse that it’s no longer a chore. I don’t even have to take out the dish rack to reach it. I would definitely buy this dishwasher again if need be. Hopefully this won’t last as long as the last one. My dishes come out sparkling.

I have this set up using a laundry hookup that already existed in my kitchen in a spot that a full-sized dishwasher could not physically fit. I used a hose with a standard 3/4" connector at each end, sold for clothes washing machines. The drain hose is the one that came with the dishwasher- it goes into a drain pipe that was already there, but tbh the sink would have been just fine. It washes dishes well... about 90% of the time. It's sometimes hard to fit dishes in efficiently, and blocking the center means the dishes just don't get fully clean, so I have to re-arrange them and run them for a short cycle. I recommend a powdered dish detergent, and use half as much as you would for a full-sized dishwasher. When i've tried pods they often don't dissolve the whole way. To be honest if we had a full sized dishwasher as temperamental as this thing, I'd rate it a lower number of stars. But I'm just so, so happy to have a dishwasher in my tiny kitchen, and there are so few other options on the market, I'm giving it four stars.

This is the BEST countertop dishwasher out right now. I have used this thing over 100 times and my dishes always come out sanitized and sparkling clean. I didn't want to give up my faucet so I permanently plumbed this under my sink. I also have a washer machine hooked up in the same situation. I enjoyed the dishwasher so much I bought another one to put on the other side (I have yet to install that one). This mini dishwasher outperforms larger dishwashers. I had a full-size portable dishwasher that didn't clean half as good. I have no regrets about buying this machine and neither will you. Yes this can be permanently plumbed if you have DIY skills and time to watch youtube videos. Use a Dishwasher Kit off amazon along with a few other things and you will be good. You have to use the tube that it comes with the machine for the back of the machine cut off the end piece for the faucet and you will have one hose for the intake and one for the discharge. Make sure to use a piece of tape or something so you know which is which. I joined mine to a discharge hose and I cut a rubber washer machine hose for the water intake. Everything is hooked up under the sink. I have an emergency stop valve in place but I leave the water on as it is permanently plumbed and I have had no issues. Hope my review helps because I didn't see anyone else permanently plumbing this particular dishwasher. Remember to hook your water up to the hot water intake. This thing does have it's own heating element but it doesn't keep the water hot enough to fully sanitize and perform using cold water only. I hope this helps someone!

I can't praise this dishwasher enough! Years ago I worked as a parts and service manager, so I know what to expect in a major appliance. I owned a portable Inglis (full-sized) dishwasher back then and I loved it. But now (for the past 10 years), my galley kitchen is too small for one. I don't mind hand-washing dishes; I find it a rather Zen chore. But recently, a friend moved in and he goes through A LOT of dishes. I needed a solution. Then I found this portable D/W and it is amazing! The only differences between this D/W and my Inglis are its size and that the coupler/power cord does not retract into the machine. Since this D/W is stationary, it's actually easier to roll the hoses and tuck them along the side (instead of trying to feed them back into it). Like any portable D/W, when it stops, you turn the hot water tap off and release the pressure from the coupler (press the little red button on the coupler) before detaching it from the faucet. Pull the hoses down into the sink and shake the coupler to remove excess water before tucking it away. Invest in some Teflon tape for the connections and tighten well for no leaks. Also, run the hot water tap before connecting the coupler to ensure hot water delivery into the machine. (D/Ws have an element to heat the water before running the wash cycle. Putting hot water in at the get-go saves energy and allows the unit to begin the wash cycle sooner.) When not in use, always leave the D/W door ajar, so it can breathe. Over time, this reduces the amount of odor absorbed by the gaskets inside the machine (all D/Ws get stinky) and prevents rusting. When adding detergent, it is better to use less than more. The "normal" cycles run about 90 minutes, so a little soap goes a long way. Lastly, when the dry cycle kicks in, stop the machine and open the door to let the steam out. Pull the rack out and - without removing anything - use a paper towel to sop up any excess water sitting on cups or glasses (since that water will not evaporate). - Do not remove any dishes when they are hot as they are more likely to shatter, causing potential harm to you and your machine. - Roll the rack back into the unit and turn the drying cycle back on. I have washed my Lagostina pots and glass lids in this COMFEE D/W and was truly shocked at how crystal clear the lids came out - like new! I have used the machine for about a week, every day, sometimes twice, and it does the job flawlessly regardless what I throw into it. It works great, is remarkably quiet, uses the equivalent of a half-sink full of water, costs HALF A KW/H (7 cents) per run and looks fabulous on the counter. I love it. With good care, this real D/W (albeit miniature) could last 5 years.

La mejor compra que he hecho en la vida! Soy la más feliz desde que la tengo, solamente he lavado como 3 platos. Vale totalmente la pena! Para hacer la instalación más sencilla solamente hicimos un agujero en la tarja para que pasara la manguera del agua que se unió a la toma con una T y la manguera del desague simplemente la dejamos en el lavabo. Nosotros somos una familia de 2 y para nosotros está perfecto.

Buen producto.

My apartment was built in the 1960s and I don't have the setup for a dishwasher. I am tired of doing dishes by hand so I thought lets try out one of these countertop dishwashers. This thing is fantastic, saves me time and effort and that's totally worth the price for me. Be sure not to overpack the loads in the dishwasher though, as I've noticed with a lot of cutlery and other utensils in the little basket they provide, it can cause the soap dispenser to become a bit blocked and then the soap dispenses improperly and requires manual adjustment or a re-wash cycle. Arrange your dishes properly!

Muy buena, llegó muy rápido, no requiere instalación y funciona perfectamente.
