Perfect for a small apartment or dorm room, this compact, countertop dishwasher holds four full place settings plus flatware in a separate basket. It offers two wash cycles (normal and heavy), a rinse-and-hold option, and optional drying. A beep signals the end of both washing and drying, while upper and lower spray arms provide thorough cleaning.

The 1250-watt appliance shuts off when the door is opened, an alarm sounds if a problem occurs, and another automatic feature stops operation if the water overflows. Installing the dishwasher is simple: the water hose connects to a sink faucet (connector included), and another hose drains into the sink.
