‘One of the best investments I made’ tabletop dishwasher that reduces energy bills has £50 off

With the festive season approaching, we’re all going to be doing more hosting than usual which means there’ll inevitably be a mountain of washing up to do. From cookware and utensils to plates and glasses, trying to keep on top of the ever-growing pile of washing up can take hours, which is why a dishwasher is considered one of the best appliances your kitchen could have.

However, if you don’t have the space for a regular free-standing or integrated version, you’ll be pleased to know there’s a space-saving alternative; the countertop dishwasher. Perfect for placing anywhere on your work surfaces, they help cut down on the washing up whilst also saving you space and money – especially now Amazon has launched some early Black Friday sales. Currently you can get the Karlxtom Table Top Dishwasher for £252.98, after it was reduced from £308.11, saving you £56.

The Karlxtom Table Top Dishwasher measures 42.5cm deep, 42.8cm wide and 45.8cm high, making it an ideal compact size to place on any kitchen work surface, as well as being small enough to pack away into a cupboard or garage between uses if you need the extra counter space. Despite its small size, it still has a five litre capacity and can hold up to four full place settings worth of crockery and glassware.

It has a double-layer design which can hold four dinner plates, small plates or serving bowls and four cups, as well as seven spoons, forks and knives. It’s an ideal alternative for small-sized spaces like apartments, university accommodation, and even campervans.

There are two different water supply modes, and you can use either a water tank or a tap to fill it up, so you don’t need to worry about getting it plumbed in or finding a constant water supply. The five litre water tank allows you to fill it up and place the dishwasher in any suitable location you fancy, making it versatile and handy.

It combines a dishwasher, dish dryer and storage all in one, and has six different settings – five washing and one drying one – including quick wash, glass washing, baby care washing and even fruit and vegetable washing. It only uses five litres of water, which reduces water consumption by 80% and cuts down on your energy bills compared to using a full size dishwasher.

The Karlxtom Table Top Dishwasher has also been getting rave reviews from Amazon shoppers, with one saying: “I can easily say this little dishwasher has been one of the best investments I have made in some time! Easy to use straight out of the box, doesn’t take up a huge amount of bench space and saves arguments over who’s turn it is to do the dishes, I’ve even got my teenage son taking turns in loading the dishwasher because he thinks it’s fun! I’ve had no issues at all with it as of yet. If it fits in it gets washed! Do not hesitate if you are thinking of buying!!”

Another wrote: “So happy with this product! It cleans and dries your dishes in a reasonable amount of time! My partner and I had enough of manual dish washing after a year and this was an affordable solution! Holds enough dishes for 2 people, but square plates are a bit of a squeeze. It performs perfectly and my dishes have come out perfectly clean! Super easy to install especially if you are only using the self plumbing. I only wish that it has different lengths for the drainage pipe.”

However some shoppers found it a bit tight for space, with one writing: “The dishwasher is alright but as a single man in a flat on his own, it still requires a daily use as you cannot get much in it. It was advertised as a three place setting size, but in the real world when you consider cooking utensils, chopping boards , measuring jugs etc, it soon fills up.”

Elsewhere, Debenhams has the DMD Collective Mini Table Top Countertop Dishwasher on sale too, down from £239.99 to £219.99. It also has a five litre built-in water tank with six wash programmes.
