HAVA Countertop Dishwasher, 6 Programs Portable Dishwashers with 5L Built-in Water Tank, No Hookup Needed, Baby Care & Air-Drying Function for Apartments and RVs

This little (or not so little) thing may just save my sanity. It's so civilized, quiet, almost space age, etc. It reminds me of a (big, old, 1990s) computer. It's 18" tall so it just barely did not fit under my kitchen cabinets on the counter, but with 1-2 inches of it hanging off the edge, it is sitting stable and not a problem. It has an steam vent on the right side that needs space to vent, so you can't put it with the right side facing the wall, the right side needs to face out into a decent sized air space to allow the steam to dissipate. I turned it sideways so it can do that. It's a good-sized cube, almost a foot and a half square, small interior but I knew it would be. It has a 29 minute short cycle, an hour long regular cycle, a sterilize cycle for baby bottles, a fruit wash cycle, and a "dry" cycle if you want to dry it out before storage. I filled it full of all kinds of dirty items, did not baby it too much, did not do any major prewashing, and stacked it full inside without a lot of space between items, including on the top rack, and ran it on the short cycle, and it did a "dry" cycle, I assume, for an hour after that. Dishes have still been slightly damp inside after that, but sparkling clean, including ones that I had not had luck getting residue, grease, etc. off before. My kitchen needs plumbing work and both the kitchen sink and regular dishwasher are not usable so I've been doing the dishes in the little bathroom sink. This little thing may just save my sanity and the civility of my household. Civilized, polite, modern, relaxing, advanced, efficient, technological to have it doing its thing in there. I monitored it for any problems, no leaks etc. I think I will feel confident letting it work unsupervised. No heavy vibration etc. it's not going to shimmy itself off the counter, did not blast the water out at such a force to tip over the bucket, etc. I think I can let it operate without supervision. ***A MAJOR selling point for me was that it does NOT require to be hooked up to a sink!!! You pour in 3 pitchers of water (pitcher provided) and the drain tube you can put in a bucket. So really if you have a normal wall power electrical outlet and around a gallon and a half of clean water you are good to go. *** I really hate washing dishes and it's better for my mental health, physical health, sanity, mood, time, energy, civilized living etc. well worth the price to me not to have to scrub dishes. Example, the wire mesh strainer I put in there, I hate having to try to clean a wire mesh strainer (difficult to get really clean, the sponge shreds and gets stuck in the wires, etc), this appears to have gotten it completely clean even on the short cycle. This doesn't do a large load but I'm happy to run a small load frequently. I just ran about a dozen silverware, a flat cheesegrater, a couple of good sized bowls (like ramen bowls/big cereal bowls), a salad sized plate, 3 coffee mugs, a metal wire strainer, and a couple of glass jars in there. I think if your dinner plates are not gigantic you could do dishes for two in there (two plates, two glasses, two bowls, etc). So a good size for a couple to do dishes after a meal (do the breakfast dishes for two, the dinner dishes for two, etc.). You might have to run it twice a day but honestly I don't care. I would run it 3x/day if I had to, after each meal. LOL. People before dishwashers were literally often washing dishes 3x/day (considered bad form to let the dishes sit). It's not a lot of water (only a little over a gallon of water per load) and probably not too much electricity. The sign it came with said $15 in electricity per year. You're not going to be able to do your turkey roasting pan in this but for daily dishes it may just do the job. Save your time, your hands, your back, hips, neck, energy, and mood. Again, you do NOT need to hook it up to a sink!! Put it anywhere it can be plugged in to a normal wall power outlet (or possibly even a good quality extension cord with surge protector. I'm sure the manufacturer would not approve of that, but I think it would be fine if necessary). Put the discharge hose into a tall bucket/ container, and pour in a gallon and a half of clean water. I am thinking about using this for the sterilize cycle for animal rescue in the quarantine room. Can wash their dishes etc. on the "baby bottle" cycle and any mela or glass instruments, glass culturing plates, test tubes, etc. that need that also. Or possibly for sterilizing culture plates and instruments for home brewing, mushroom growing, etc. I've known people who went through cancer and became "neutropenic" where their dishes had to be very carefully done either in a hot dishwasher or hot washed by hand and air dried but careful not to contaminate them, because the chemo had wiped out their immune system (towel drying the dishes could spread germs on them so they said to either hot wash in dishwasher, or hot hand wash and air dry in a clean room). This would be useful for someone who did not have a dishwasher and was going through cancer example someone who was staying in a rented room, extended stay hotel or airbnb etc. near hospital for a series of treatment.

I have run this baby a total of 81 times at this point. We are a family of 5, with boys in school and daycare. We live in a rent to own situation so until we own this house we cannot go gutting the kitchen that was built in the 50s. Our counter space is limited along with floor space so we don't have the room to store a full sized washer. Instead this dishwasher sits next to the sink on the counter space that was previously taken by the drying rack. What drew me to this dishwasher was the ability to fill the tank and not needing to buy adapters for my sink. I can run the dishwasher and then hand wash my pans at the same time. Also if anyone else lives in an older home, they will also know the fun game of not being able to wash dishes while someone showers because it will take all the hot water. The tank eliminates that issue and I am able to put a load in before bed and go take a shower without fear. My husband enjoys hand washing dishes while I do not, because while I wash dishes my kids are off finding trouble. I also enjoy the baby cycle for pet bowls /gecko decor and it would of been a huge blessing when my youngest was a baby and needing bottles for daycare. Any parent or parent to be who is currently hand washing bottles and then microwave sterilizing will understand the blessing that is not having to scrub little parts and having everything sterilized and ready to go. I can also say that because it heats the water it is saving us money on oil because we are not hand washing in hot water that was heated by oil. My kids love helping load/unload the dishwasher and the glass window is built in entertainment for them. I will say a con is the size but in the same breath it is a pro because we don't have the room for something bigger. My only other cons are that there is no rinse aid compartment but I remedy that by using cascade platinum pods, and that I can't put the wire prongs up and down like other models. The upper sprayer arm doesn't always start spinning right away, but if you leave it alone it will start spinning after the first 2 minutes of the cycle. Things I wanted to know when I was looking at dishwashers and landed on this model. 1) I have Mikasa dish sets from Costco. They all fit no issue and I can fit 10 plates (good to know if you host) 2) I can fit my kids bentigo lunch boxes I recommend vertical to prevent the clips from hanging down and interfering with the sprayer arm. 3) I can fit a 7 qt bowl and strainer along with a whisk and measuring cup no issue 4) I run multiple loads a day but I would also hand wash multiple loads a day. So it's not a big deal. What I could fit on the dish rack is what I can fit into the dishwasher but I don't need to had wash and hand dry them so major win. I also get the pods from Costco and buy a couple boxes when they are on sale. 5) I cannot fit my largest baking pan in the dishwasher but I can fit my smaller ones. I also can't fit a normal cookie sheet, but I can fit my smaller ones which might be a bonus for people who live in small apartments or are 1-2 personal household. I can fit a crock pot and large pots, along with small cutting boards. 6) most dishes can be run on a quick cycle especially if they were just used. Normal is good for your items used for cooking or kids school lunch boxes that you want a little more heat and a longer cycle. Baby/heavy is awesome for pet /bottles and if everyone in the house is dealing with sickness like strep and Covid where you would like to light everything on fire but can't. 7) fruit wash works fine I normally wash my fruits in veggie wash and soak them for way too long so being able to put all the apples (15) and filling the basket with grapes/strawberries/ blueberries saves time and I can load it and run it while I put my other groceries away. I do recommend cleaning your filter prior to running it 8) you do not need to use the pitcher to fill the machine we just use the hose from our sink and it beeps when it is full 9) the suction cup and hose stay in the sink without issue. We have the suction cup 4in from the top of the hose in the sink. 10) the top rack ment for cups is great for the munchkin lids for sippy cups and straws easily fit in the wholes for the silverware. 11) the sound the dishwasher makes is melodic. It doesn't bother me at all, quite the opposite it actually pleases me. The light turns on when you open the door, and when you first power it on and stays on for 1-2 minutes. If your kids are like mine and they "need to see" you can pause the cycle open the door and close it and the light will be back on while it washes but fear not, no water will leak when you do that, but it can be steamy and hot so I don't recommend littles doing it on their own. It's nice to know though that if my kids opened the door mid cycle I wouldn't have a bunch of hot soapy water pouring out. Overall this dishwasher has changed my life, keeps my sink clean and makes it so I don't dread hosting a party. I will need to do multiple loads ie plates/silverware, cups and desert items, prep items, and cooking items. However, It makes it so I have more time to spend with my guest instead of standing at the sink and hand washing a ton of dishes.

Sometimes, I have trouble trusting 5star reviews, but I had to leave one for this dishwasher. I. Love. It! I'm so happy with my purchase! It's big, and doesn't slide under my cabinets, so it hangs over my countertop slightly. And that's my only con, so far. I've had this for a few months and I run in a few times per week. It's big enough inside to wash smaller pots and pans with a few extra things. It's fairly quiet. You do hear the water swooshing and you hear when the machine changes modes - i.e. from washing to draining. I can't tell you how loud this is in decibels, but I get hearing sensitivity sometimes, and this doesn't bother me. Especially if there's ANYTHING else making sounds at the same time - music, tv, etc. I specifically wanted something with a tank, so I didn't have to hook it up to the sink. That means, all I had to do was hook up the drainage tube (super easy), plug it in, fill it up and it was ready to go! I use the short, 29 min cycle and it gets everything clean. Yes, I pre-wash any stuck on food, but I've done that for every dishwasher I've ever used. There's an optional dry cycle for an hour after the cleaning cycle ends. I generally let it run for about 10-15 mins and then I pull the dishrack out and let it dry on the counter. Then, I either let the drying cycle run with no dishes inside to dry out the machine, or I turn it off and leave the tank lid off and the door slightly open for the same reason. Sometimes, this cycle bothers me, but not because it's loud, it's not. Just because it's a constant hum. It will continue humming after the hour until you press the power button or unplug the machine. CONS: Doesn't fit under my cabinets, but none of the countertop dishwashers on Amazon would. Sometimes the constant hum of the drying cycle bothers me. Because it's constant, not because it's too loud. But any music or tv or other distraction solves this issue immediately PROS: Dishwashing! Lol It's not loud. It has multiple cycles. I like the short one. The short cycle gets everything clean. Water tank, so no need to hook it up to a faucet to run it. Keeps my kitchen sink empty Can wash smaller pots and pans Great for one person who cooks or who doesn't Worth it!

Easy setup. Takes up minimal counter space. So far have tried it several times and everything was clean and spotless. Sleek look and led light is a nice touch. The drain tube is plenty long and water doesn’t splash out all over. Seems to be built well.

I purchased in Sept. '24 and have had no issues. It has been 2 months since my purchase, and I believe it suits my needs well. You do need to get "creative" fitting items other than plates. The utensil holder I do not like. It is the one thing I can complain about. It has individual slots on the top, but the spaces are not wide enough to accommodate my forks, spoons, etc. The top of the handle of my cutlery has a large tip. You can leave the top off, if needed. I am by myself, and it takes at least a week for me to have enough to put in a regular dishwasher. It definitely uses less water than doing it by hand. It uses about 3 and a half pitchers in the one provided, a bit less than 5 liters. I find that it is quieter than a regular dishwasher. Great for an RV if you have the counter space or storage space until needed. It is definitely advantageous and helps conserve water.

Although this is a really small countertop dishwasher, I still love it. It really does a great job cleaning pots, glasses, pans, bowls, silverware, and utencils. I use a large 5-gallon plastic bucket I got from Lowe's to drain the water from the washer and then just pour that into the kitchen sink. So easy to fill and use. I love the drying setting so that your dishes are ready to put back into storage without having to hand dry each item. Ingenious product and seems to be of the highest quality.

I bought this for my folks for Christmas and they love it! It's a little small when the whole family is over, but just fine for the two of them. They really like the flexibility of the built-in water tank. They load it in the morning before they leave and by the time they get home, the dishes are clean and dry! Only complaint is that it takes up a lot of counter space, so you'll either be moving it a lot or losing a lot of real estate. Overall though, a great product!

UPDATE: I ordered this on 8/10/24 and contacted them about this issues on 8/7/25. So they’re counting the 1 year warranty from the day I landed the order and ending it after they had already sent me and admitted to sending me a faulty replacement. This broke within the 1 year warranty but yet they’re saying I have to pay my own shipping for this very heavy item and pay for a repair. After JUST over a year the dishwasher displays an error message and stops working after 3 minutes. HAVA sent a heating part that we waited 2 weeks for and that didn’t work. Customer service then stated that the heating plates they sent out might have been faulty and sent another out. This one is coming from china and will take about 3 weeks. I was told if this doesn’t work they can’t help me since we are just past the year long warranty. So $350 for a product that’s lasts one year. We always rinsed our dishes and cared for the product according to the handbook. There is no reason that something this expensive should break without cause in such a short period of time. I will never buy from this company again. Stick to the big names for appliances.
