About this family size
Generic Portable Countertop Dishwasher, Stainless Steel Tub, 6 Place Settings, No Plumbing Needed, Compact Design for
A full-size dishwasher install means a plumber, a drilled worktop and a permanent spot under the counter. The Generic Portable Countertop Dishwasher, Stainless Steel Tub, 6 Place Settings, No Plumbing Needed, Compact Design for skips all of it. A built-in water tank supplies the wash and rinse water, so it works anywhere there's a socket — a static caravan or motorhome, a kitchenette, or a corner of worktop you can spare.
What matters more than the headline programme count is whether the cycles actually differ from each other, and here they do: several wash programmes span a genuine range from a short rinse to a longer, hotter wash rather than variations on one setting. At 6 place settings, it's built around family size daily use rather than a weekly catch-up load.
There's no waiting for an installer — out of the box, the built-in tank gets filled from any tap, the basket gets loaded, and the first wash can run within minutes. Delay start means you can load it before work and come home to clean dishes rather than a full sink. Like most tabletop machines it dries passively rather than with a heated fan, so cracking the door at the end of a cycle helps residual moisture clear.
Finished in a neutral finish that suits most kitchens, it's built to sit on a worktop rather than disappear behind a cabinet front, so the finish and a compact footprint are worth checking against your counter space before ordering. At £288.99, it sits with the rest of the tabletop category on price — the trade you're making against a full-size built-in dishwasher is capacity and a permanent plumbed connection, in exchange for something you can unplug, pack up and take with you if you move.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a countertop dishwasher work without plumbing?
It holds its own water in a built-in tank instead of connecting to your pipework. You fill the tank from a tap before a cycle, the machine heats and recirculates that water internally to wash and rinse, and waste water collects in a removable tray or reservoir that you empty afterwards rather than it draining away through a fitted pipe.
Does this model really need no plumbing?
Yes. Everything runs from the built-in tank, which you fill from any tap before a cycle. There's no connection to your water supply or waste pipe, so it works anywhere with a plug socket and a worktop.
Are countertop dishwashers actually worth it?
For a kitchen with no plumbing for a built-in machine, yes — the alternative is handwashing, not a full-size dishwasher. At 6 place settings per cycle for family size use, it earns its keep on time rather than on matching a built-in machine's capacity, and the trade-off is a manual tank fill in exchange for zero installation cost or disruption.
How long does a wash cycle take?
Exact cycle times aren't listed in our product record. As a general guide, tabletop dishwashers typically offer a shorter rinse cycle alongside a longer, hotter wash for heavily soiled loads — check the specifications above for this model's programme count.
Does a countertop dishwasher need a drain?
No. Waste water from this model collects in an internal or removable tray rather than draining through a fitted pipe, so you empty it by hand after most cycles. That's what makes it usable anywhere with a socket and a worktop, rather than only next to existing plumbing.
How many place settings does it hold?
It's rated for 6 place settings per cycle — enough for family size use rather than a full week's backlog in one go.
What wash programmes are included?
There are several wash programmes, covering everyday loads through to heavier soiling.
How much electricity does it use?
Exact wattage isn't confirmed in our product record — check the specifications above if it's listed for this model. As a general guide, tabletop dishwashers in this class typically draw somewhere in the range of a kettle, and the wash programme you pick affects running cost more than the headline wattage.
Can I use normal dishwasher tablets in it?
Yes, standard tablets, powder or gel all work. Because the built-in tank holds less water than a full-size dishwasher, a full tablet is dosed for more water than this machine uses — cutting a tablet in half for lighter loads is a common fix if you notice residue on glassware.
How noisy is it?
An exact decibel rating isn't confirmed in our product record, but tabletop dishwashers in this class are generally designed to run in open-plan kitchens without needing you to leave the room.
Will it fit on my worktop?
Check your worktop depth and height under any wall cabinets before ordering — as a tabletop machine it needs to sit fully on the counter rather than tuck underneath.
Is it a good option for a flat or rental?
Yes — that's the main reason this category exists. It needs no permission to alter plumbing, no drilled worktop and no plumber, so it suits a static caravan or motorhome as well as any rental where fitting a built-in dishwasher isn't allowed or isn't practical.
What colour does it come in?
Colour and finish are as shown in the product images; check the listing for the exact variant you're ordering.
Does it have a child lock?
A dedicated child lock isn't listed for this model, so keep it out of easy reach of young children while running, as with any countertop appliance.
Can I delay the start time?
Yes, delay start lets you load it and set it to begin later, so a cycle finishes when you're back in the kitchen rather than sitting full overnight.
Do you deliver, and what does it cost?
Yes, we deliver this item. Your delivery estimate and any charge are calculated at checkout based on your address and shown before you pay, so there are no surprises after the order.
Can I return it if it doesn't suit my kitchen?
Yes, in line with our returns policy. Keep the original packaging where you can — a tabletop dishwasher is heavy enough that a return goes more smoothly in its original box.
Does it come with a warranty?
A specific warranty length isn't confirmed in our product record, so we won't state a figure we can't stand behind. Your statutory rights apply, and you're welcome to ask us before ordering if warranty cover matters to you.
The complete guide
How much water the Generic tabletop dishwasher actually uses
4 min readNoPlumb
Every cycle on this machine draws from its built-in tank, which is the practical ceiling on water use per wash — unlike a plumbed machine that can draw as much as a cycle needs, a tabletop model is capped by however much you pour in. In practice that makes it easy to see exactly what a wash costs in water terms, in a way a plumbed appliance never shows you.
Against handwashing, the comparison depends entirely on habits. A tap left running while you scrub a sink of dishes routinely uses several times a full tank in hot water; a filled basin used carefully uses less, but still needs refilling for rinsing. A dishwasher cycle uses a fixed, known amount and reuses part of it across rinse stages internally, which is generally the more water-efficient method once the machine is run with a reasonably full load rather than two plates at a time.
That last point is the one that matters most for a family size machine like this: it's sized for 6 place settings, so running it half-full wastes the efficiency advantage. Wait until you have a load worth the tank fill, use several wash programmes for lightly soiled items, and keep the higher-temperature settings for the loads that actually need them — that's a bigger factor in real-world water use than any spec on the box.
