Hermitlux Table Top Dishwasher 6 Programmes, 5 Place Settings, Save Energy

A full-size dishwasher install means a plumber, a drilled worktop and a permanent spot under the counter. The Hermitlux Table Top Dishwasher 6 Programmes, 5 Place Settings, Save Energy skips all of it. A 5l built-in water tank supplies the wash and rinse water, so it works anywhere there's a socket — a holiday let between guests, a kitchenette, or a corner of worktop you can spare.

The 6 programmes on offer are there to match the cycle to the load rather than washing everything the same way — a quick setting for glasses and mugs that only need a rinse, something longer and hotter for pans with dried-on food. Baby care and fruit wash sit alongside the main programmes — one for bottles and teats at a properly high temperature, the other for rinsing produce separately so it never picks up detergent residue from a normal cycle. It's rated for 5 place settings, which covers a typical day's crockery for family size households without needing to run it more than once.

First use is a five-minute job rather than an afternoon with a plumber: fill the 5L tank, load plates and cutlery into the basket, pick a programme, and press start. Drying happens passively once the cycle ends, so leaving the door slightly open afterwards helps items dry faster than sealed shut.

As a visible countertop appliance rather than a hidden one, a neutral finish that suits most kitchens and a compact footprint matter more here than on a built-in machine — check both against your kitchen before ordering. At £221.99, it's priced in line with the rest of the no-plumbing category, and the appeal is the same across the category: no plumber, no installation, and a machine that moves with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a countertop dishwasher work without plumbing?

It holds its own water in a 5L built-in water 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 a 5L built-in water 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. A hose-fill option is also available if you'd rather run it from a tap directly.

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 5 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, but with 6 programmes on this model, expect a range from a shorter rinse-only setting up to a longer, hotter wash for heavily soiled loads — pick the shortest cycle that suits the load rather than defaulting to the longest one.

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 5 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 6 programmes, covering everyday loads through to heavier soiling, plus a dedicated baby care cycle and a fruit wash setting.

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 6 programmes 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 a 5L built-in water 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 holiday let between guests 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?

A delay-start timer isn't listed for this model — it starts when you press go, so time the cycle to when you'll be around to unload it.

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.

Child lock and delay start on the Hermitlux dishwasher, and why they matter more on a countertop machine

4 min read NoPlumb

Neither a child lock nor a delay start is listed for this specific model, which is worth factoring in if either matters to your household — the control panel starts and can be altered as soon as it's touched.

For a holiday let between guests, these two features do slightly different jobs — one is about safety around an appliance placed at child height, the other about fitting the machine's schedule to yours rather than the other way round. Between the two, delay start tends to get used daily once people discover it, while the child lock is the one you're glad exists on the one day it actually gets tested.
