NOVETENOVETE Portable Countertop Dishwashers, Compact Dishwashers with 5 L Built-in Water Tank & Inlet Hose, 5 Washing Programs, Baby Care, Air-Dry Function and LED Light for Small Apartments

After purchasing a Comfee portable dishwasher back in February and then having it completely malfunction on me June of this year, after a mere few months of use, I was ready for a new machine.Enter the Novete, which is bigger, way more slick, stylish, sleek and chic, and more importantly, leaves my dishes perfect. How I WISH this had been my first purchase so as to not have to deal with the Comfee which is full of problems.This machine on Heavy mode will leave your dishes spotless, and with the auto dry setting, it makes things so much more convenient. On lighter modes like Rapid or Normal, I've also gotten VERY good results. The machine holds a lot more than you think, but unlike a regular conventional washer, you have to play Tetris a bit sometimes in accommodating everything inside the unit, but I promise it'll come out amazing.After using it as my replacement for the Comfee model, I couldn't be happier and I LOVE the auto dry feature and how the unit just does everything right. Also, you DON'T need to hook it up to your faucet. PLEASE avail yourselves of the pitcher and loading water up top and you get the exact same cleaning power minus hooking up issues.VERY pleased thus far! :)Also, I’ve added some photos of my machine during different cycles to show just how much it can hold. Pictures of any portable washer show then as small boxy things barely able to fit anything inside. On one load, I was easily able to fit my Dutch oven, a pasta colander, all the cutlery used, dishes and other utensils used during cooking with room to spare on the left hand side, as you can see. This model really can hold a lot, especially if you get creative and fit things in nooks and crannies and I’ve never had something come out not washed well.

I rarely write product reviews because I order too many things and don't have the time, but I feel like this product deserves all the love. I was skeptical of it when I ordered because not all reviews were favorable and it's expensive for your average person, but I'm glad I went with my gut. I've had it for about a month now and used it probably 30 times at this point. And I have yet to be disappointed. It's compact enough to sit on my counter without taking up too much space (although I may end up getting a rolling cart for it because it's still kind of big), is super easy to use, and has really helped me to not feel as anxious about dishes. I don't have a faucet that can hook up to this (I think that was intentional by the landlord since he pays for hot water) so the built in tank is ideal. It has multiple cycles, can fit a fair amount of dishes (I can usually run 4-5 plates, 3-4 glasses or mugs, a bowl or two, and plenty of silverware at once), gets everything clean without any issues, and even notifies me when water is needed in the tank or I've reached the capacity so I don't overfill it.The only things that I have an issue with are that the dishwasher pods don't fit in the spot they are supposed to, but it's not a big deal because you can just toss it in the bottom of the dishwasher and it'll do what you need it to do, and that my larger plates don't fit and need to be angled (with only a couple at a time). These are such minor issues, though, that I don't care.Great product overall and I've already been recommending it to several friends who also have landlords too cheap to provide a dishwasher. I'll update this review if anything changes.06/11/22 Update: Still working great and I've used it about 70 times since I got it. So happy I made the decision to buy this.09/06/23 Update: Still cranking out those clean dishes. I've used it well over 500 times since I got it and have had zero issues. It's well worth the money.

I've owned this dishwasher for 3 months now and started using it the day after it was delivered. Been using it since and can state that it really does wash great.It fit perfectly under the counter and is easy enough for me to move out to refill the water tank. I got it with a tank because I was afraid of any water leaks on an unknown appliance without testing first only to later find out my sink doesn't allow for adapter connections. It comes with a water pitcher to fill the tank and it takes 3 full pours of it to hear the tank jingle that it's got enough water.So far I've only used the heavy duty and normal modes along with the dry feature and it's been really good at keeping my dishes clean. The only issue I've noticed is if I forget to do a load often enough, certain food or sauces will be harder to get off utensils and plates and may need to be soaked to soften dried stuck on sauces/food or manual hand washing. In fairness to the dishwasher, I didn't have enough dishes for a full wash load and I forgot to run it as often as I normally do so the food had more time to kind of get stuck on there.I always enable the dry feature as I tend to sort of set it and forget it as I go about my day or before bed. The few times I've tried to take it out before the dry feature was done because I had new dishes to load and I was prepared to hand dry the ones still not dry, the plates were very hot still, so something to keep in mind. Much prefer the peace of mind knowing that the plates get nicely washed, to a good temperature, and dry very well for the most part.When drying, some of my mugs will pool water on the bottom of the mug (since you load them upside down) and will take much longer to dry. If you can slightly tilt the mugs at an angle, that will help a lot, but if not, maybe unload those last and dry them off by hand.Overall, as someone who requires some additional assistive tools to manage my home, I don't think I could ever go back to washing all my plates by hand. In fact, I now avoid buying cookware that isn't designated dishwasher safe.When buying a countertop dishwasher, regardless of which brand or model you use, make sure to check your measurements for your counter keeping in mind available space above your counter, if you can't connect the sink adapter or aren't sure if you can, keep in mind how much space you need for you to be able to remove the top lid to refill the water tank and if it will require you to move the dishwasher in and out from under the counter to be able to refill.TLDR: Great experience with this specific model and brand but overall, recommend getting a countertop dishwasher for quality of life improvement in general regardless of which brand or model you go with (so long as it works).
