5/5 stars
We’ve been using the Joyoung Portable Countertop Dishwasher for 1.5 years (1-2 times daily), and it has been working pretty well overall.
This unit is perfect for those who don’t have space in their kitchen for a full sized dishwasher or are renting. This is ideal for 1-2 people and could also be used in a college dorm or RV. (Expect to run it 1-2 times a day, if you eat all meals at home.)
Due to the size and cycle times, it is best viewed as a supplement to handwashing. Pots, most pans, and large dishes will not fit. But it still saves a lot of time compared to washing everything by hand and works well on utensils, bowls, cups and small plates.
Features:
- 5 L water tank
- 5 washing programs
- Air-dry function
Pros:
- Setup is very easy.
- The portability is great. You can basically place this anywhere, if you use a bucket to drain instead of directly into a sink.
- Lots of space for small plates, bowls, and utensils.
- Mostly quiet, except for a few moments during the cycle.
- A cycle can be paused and can open if you forgot to add in powder or something is obstructing the arm.
Cons:
- Can’t fit large plates (without removing top rack) or pots/pans.
- The washing cycles are long. The light wash cycle takes 30 minutes, the regular cycle takes 1.5 hours, and the heavy cycle takes 2 hours. (So we scrub and rinse the items quickly by hand first and then run everything on the light cycle. Sometimes, there is still food/dishwashing powder residue.)
- If you overstuff it, the water won’t penetrate every area.
- The drying feature takes too long, so we just open the dishwasher once the cycle is done and let it air dry that way. (It is officially stated by the manufacturer as 90 minutes.)
- Sometimes, items may fall to the bottom and obstruct the arms.
- Areas of the metal basket are starting to rust after 1 year of daily use.
