Hermitlux Table Top Dishwasher, Mini Countertop Dishwasher with 4 Place Settings, 5L Built-in Water Tank, 6 Programmes, Touch Control, Baby Care and Fruit Wash, White

I want to start by highlighting how fantastic this product is. It feels very sturdy, well-built, and is easy to install. We purchased this dishwasher because our home didn’t have one, and it wasn’t feasible to have a permanent installation in our rented accommodation. We have been using it for a few weeks now, and each time our dishes and utensils come out sparkling clean. In the past, with some other dishwashers, we've noticed that plates used for cooking eggs—especially soft-boiled eggs—would sometimes emerge with an unpleasant smell and would need to be rewashed. However, that has never been an issue with this dishwasher. Initially, we used it by top filling, and then we eventually attached it to the tap. Both refill methods work great. The drain pipe is secured onto the sink and functions well. The only downside we have encountered with this unit is its size. While it can fit quite a few items, it is unfortunately too small for our household's usage. We tend to do frequent cooking and baking, and most of our pots and pans do not fit into this dishwasher. However, it proved very convenient when we had a group of friends over, as we were able to fit up to five sets of tableware quite comfortably. We have tested it out for a few weeks and were determined to keep it because we found it to be an excellent product. However, we have had to run it two to three times a day to keep up with the amount of dishes and cookware we use. From our experience, a household that primarily needs a dishwasher for plates and cutlery would absolutely find this product useful and worthwhile.

Very impressed with this counter top dishwasher. Ideal for myself and the 2 little ones. Cleans very well, easy to use. If, like me, you use it with the water tank its a straight forward out of the box setup. Its compact size is ideal for smaller kitchens. Very quiet little thing too. Can not fault the quality, and the amount you can actual load into it.

This dishwasher is a little lifesaver sitting on my kitchen counter. I was a bit iffy at first about giving up some valuable counter space, but let me tell you, it’s totally worth it for the sheer convenience this thing brings into my life. This dishwasher is a total game changer. I'm all about getting things done quick, and this machine fits right into my busy life. It has a quick mode that cleans dishes superfast and leaves dishes very clean. It's small, yeah, so you can't stuff a ton of big plates or bowls in there at once. I sometimes end up doing a couple of rounds if I've got a lot to wash, but honestly, it's such a time saver overall. Setting it up was a very easy. The instructions were very straight forward. I fill up the tank with the supplied jug. The machine is super easy to keep clean too. A plus is the fruit wash setting. Love it! Gets my fruits nice and clean. Plus, it automatically dries the dishes right after washing. So, by the time I'm ready to unload, everything's warm and dry. Pretty neat, right? Pros and Cons: Pros: + Saves a bunch of time and fits perfectly in smaller spaces. + Quick mode is a blast. Super quick and effective. + Setup is simple, and it’s easy to maintain. + That fruit wash and auto-dry feature? Chef's kiss! Cons: + Can't fit a ton of big items at once, so might need extra loads. + It does pull a bit of electricity, but that’s the trade-off for quick convenience. Final thoughts: If you’re on the fence about this Hermitlux Dishwasher, I say go for it! It’s been a solid addition to my place, and I can’t really picture my kitchen without it now. Saves me so much hassle and time. Seriously, a must-have if you hate doing dishes as much as I do.

First impressions: I noticed other people mentioned the machine was wet right out of the box. They failed to mention there’s a sticker that says that’s normal and due to warranty tests. After figuring out the set up (and reluctantly reading the manual), I spent the entire day washing a mountain of dishes that had accumulated. Like a lot of people in the reviews, I bought this because I have disabilities and struggle with the dishes. It‘s been great, I’ve been very impressed with the performance. People have mentioned they find it to be noisy, I wouldn’t have that same complaint. I can hear it from the next room but not to the point where it would bother me. A standard dishwasher would be just as loud. Very impressed with the pressure on the machine, I put a lasagne dish in there that had been baked pretty good, no pre-soak, and it came out clean as a whistle. . Reasons why I wouldn’t recommend: Some of my plates don’t fit in there very well and I have noticed that the blades are very easy to seize up if something blocks them, like a tiny bit of a plate poking out from under the dishwasher rack. I wouldn’t go with a windowless model because with the window, you can see when that is happening and correct it. Pausing the wash causes no issues in my experience. I think it’s also quite expensive for what you’re buying, so it should be considered whether this or a compact dishwasher would be better for you. If you are a renter or someone who doesn’t have any space to plumb in a new appliance, this is for you, but if you own your own home and intend to plumb it in, there are reputable brands that charge less than this for a better product. I priced a morphy Richard’s compact dishwasher for £199, so I can’t in my right mind say that this one is worth £250+, I would say closer to £175 is where I’d have wanted to pay. This is a run of the mill generic chinese dishwasher, and while there’s nothing wrong with that right now, but I worry about how repairable it’s going to be when it breaks down. I don’t think my local handyman is going to have heard of „Hermit Lux“ before, and who knows if any parts will be available. When you buy from a reputable brand, you know you don’t have to worry about that. Update: 6 month review. I've used this dishwasher near every single day without much issue. I will say that one issue I've encountered is that the water tank inlet (for jug filling rather than if you've plumbed the machine in, which I have not) likes to grow mold, so I give it a little scrub with a dab of bleach every week, that seems to do the trick. I haven't encountered any problems with the machine breaking down like other people have reviewed, but I have made sure not to put anything extremely dirty into the dishwasher, everything gets a quick rinse under the tap before it goes in & the machine gets a weekly clean down of it's parts to keep it tip top. It really has been embarrassingly life changing for me, I love this little white box. As much as I stand by the fact it could stand to be a little bit cheaper, I'd still buy it again. 1 year update: still works very well, still no issues. Upgrading from a 4 star to 5 as it has been incredibly reliable, more than I was expecting it to be.

Very happy with this small dishwasher, it's been a huge timesaver and works well in a small kitchen for a couple of people. I particularly liked that it could be plumbed in, though the drain hose was a bit awkward to install. It has clogged and failed to drain a couple of times, but cleaning out the drain hose and filter, and leaving it for a while seems to have sorted whatever it was. It is small, and you'll have trouble with large plates. We were replacing ours anyway and found the IKEA Gladelig 25cm plates fit pretty well. Lastly, the only shame is that it doesn't have salt or rinse aid dispensers, or even a first rinse cycle before the main wash (there's no lid on the detergent dispenser) like full sized dishwashers. It was a great replacement for an old Bosch dishwasher, as the newer mini dishwashers are larger than they used to be. Highly recommended if you're limited by space.

Observational edit (2 1/2 years later), definitely buy a windowed version. It just helps being able to see inside, it helps me to stack better/more efficient next time based on how I see it being cleaned and the way the water is being splashed around this time. My main reason is that the top spinner jet fails constantly now. Well I say fail, it will not spin for say the first 5?mins of a wash. If I pause the machine and spin it manually, there’s like minuscule little balls of limescale? brownish in colour that fall out as I spin it. This mixed with washing tablet powder before it’s dissolved. My guess is wear over time is now letting the limescale through enough to cause friction on the spinner until it gets dissolved. Maybe if I ordered a new top spinner it would fix this issue?. Anyway, most dirty items are placed upside down so although this happens, I haven’t noticed any difference in cleaning performance. Original review: So I’ve been on the fence about purchasing a tabletop dishwasher for around 10 years now but they always needed to be plumbed in, which is a big no no in my rented studio flat. When I found these table top dishwashers I was so happy, one with a water tank that doesn’t need to be plumbed in! I read reviews and one 1 particular review said pretty much the same so I thought ‘ok you’ve been looking at these for a good few months now and read many many reviews , so if want this one, go ahead and buy it. Wow! I wish I had got it sooner. It cleans exactly the same as my parents full size expensive bosch (depending on detergent used, I can’t state this enough!). I live in a small studio flat and there is no door from my living room to my kitchen, and I watch the tv in my living room about 12ft away, the noise is barely noticeable to me and what I can hear is kind of relaxing with it swooshing the water around. Some comparable units come with a water filling tool rather than just pouring the water straight into the top, which does cause a little bit of splashing (nothing that a quick wipe doesn’t fix) but I wish mine had it (I’m thinking of buying it as a spare part if I can find one). Edit: I bought an automotive funnel from Tesco’s (slightly larger than a kitchen funnel) and sawed off the tail. This works wonders!. If I could improve anything, I would want it just an inch bigger front and sides to accommodate my sauté pan (which I use daily) and still need to wash by hand as it’s just slightly to long, but that’s ok. If you want one and are on the fence too, I would say ‘just go ahead and buy it’, you’ll love it! Update: bought July 23, now October 24 As you can see from the last photo, I have limescale build up on the heating element. I’m treating this with some Amazon bought limescale remover (in photo) and it’s slowly doing the job. Update: this limescale remover has done its job and the heating plate is now nice and shiny. I’ve used it once a week until now (pack suggests once a month) and gone through maybe 4-5 packs. I’ll now switch to 1 every 3 weeks and adjust accordingly. I don’t mind spending the extra money as it keeps the dishwasher in tip top condition. I just pop it in with a normal wash and that’s it, no worry about extra rinsing etc after use, it’s just super easy to use. ONE thing I will say is to try different washing tabs as I used Finish Powerball for the first year and although everything came out clean on a standard eco wash, the quick wash was not great and sometimes needed a second go. Tea stains on mugs especially. I thought it was the limitations of the dishwasher, but it wasn’t. I changed to Fairy Original and the clean was night and day. The quick wash became my go to washing cycle as it was now perfect and my cutlery was noticeably shinier too. I then switched to Aldi Mangum premium as the ingredients seem to be the same and it’s massively cheaper. Fairy Platinum Plus is the most expensive, but is no doubt the best. In my test cutlery looks ultra shiny and polished. Aldi is the same, minus the polished look. So my recommendation is Aldi Magnum at 7p a tablet cheaper. Although, maybe, I wouldn’t need to use the limescale tabs if I used fairy PP full time? Update: the top spinner jet gets stuck almost every wash now (2 years old) and I have to pause the machine, open the door and give the spinner a spin forwards and back to get unmixed powder or limescale out, so than it can spin. This is despite my regular inspections and filter/spinner cleaning (once every 3 days?). Despite this, I would not want to be without this dishwasher and would immediately replace it if it were to go faulty. The plus outweighs any negative. I just can’t recommend it enough! Summary; if your here checking out this item, think no more, just buy it, TREAT YOURSELF if nothing else. You deserve this machine and it will work hard for you 👌

I purchased it 3rd August this year. I used it around once daily. After less than 1 month usage, it started displaying E6 error code. I followed the user manual, which was very poorly written with poor English instructions. The instructions was just to restart which I did. After a few days of this, the machine failed to start entirely. In such an event the user manual instructs you to contact a "service man". However, there was no contact information for this mysterious service man. I found some manufacturers details on Amazon and sent an email. I was then asked to send a video as to prove that the machine indeed did not work. After a few email exchanges where I assure them that I had indeed restarted the machine several times, they finally agreed to send me a replacement. However, I had to pay another £40 for the postage. As the product is already quite pricey and seems of poor quality, I got in touch with Amazon to request a refund as it had gone just over 30 days since I purchased it. Amazon were very helpful with this. Overall, poor experience and poor communications. On the plus note, when the dishwasher did work, it did do a good job at cleaning.

I love this so much. It fits a good amount of dishes - for 2 of us, we run it twice a day and don't need to wash by hand. It cleans everything well (you need to wipe off food first) and we use the Tesco brand dishwashing tablets - no issues. Love the different functions it has and it dries off the dishes well too!! Great quality and very nifty. I'd recommend getting smaller items to fit in e.g. we got a mini colander and mini pan so we can also just chuck it in the dishwasher instead of hand wash it. One issue, it produces lots of steam so it'd be good to run it near a cracked window, especially if you struggle with condensation on windows
