Tabletop dishwashers can be purchased that have many great features. If you have a full schedule, or have better things to with your space time than wash dishes by hand, a tabletop dishwasher is a huge convenience. They can be found with judicious shopping for less than two hundred dollars amply equipped. Features to look for as follows:
Good Capacity: Just because you are purchasing a table top dishwasher, doesn’t mean you can’t wash a good size load. I suggest looking for a model capable of loading four place settings at once.
Multiple Wash Cycles: Look for a model that has several different wash cycles, this provides you some flexibility in doing your dishes. There is no need to always run the heaviest cycle if sometimes you are just washing some lightly soiled dishes.
Heavy Duty Removable Rack: It is important that the racks in your compact dishwasher be sturdy. If they are flimsy they are likely to flex or warp over time, making use of the unit difficult.
Utensil Basket: A basket for your silverware is an important accessory in your dishwasher. Using a separate receptacle for your cutlery leaves the rest of the unit free to wash bulkier plates, bowls, cups and glasses.
Sink-Connect Option: Look for a model with a quick sink-connect setup option. With this feature you have yourself a portable dishwasher. If you need to move to a new place, you can take the unit with you. You also have the ability to move the unit around your kitchen if so desired.
When making your dishwasher purchase, consider carefully getting a unit with the features listed above. As with any purchase, the more you spend the more features you get. It is up to you find the trade off between how good a model you want, and how much you are willing to spend on it.
