COMFEE' Portable Mini Countertop Dishwasher, Energy Star, 6 Place Settings, 8 Washing Programs, Review (2026)

Who this mini dishwasher fits

This is a countertop dishwasher sized for 6 place settings, aimed at dorms, RVs, apartments and small households of one or two people who want a real wash cycle without a built in kitchen dishwasher. Its white finish suits lighter, brighter kitchens better than a black unit would, and its portable design means it is not permanently plumbed in, so it can be unplugged, disconnected from the faucet, and moved between a counter, a cupboard, or a new apartment entirely. Anyone whose household regularly generates more than a day's worth of dishes for two people, or who needs to wash oversized cookware, will find the 6 place setting capacity limiting and should size up to a larger portable or built in dishwasher.

Capacity and washing programs

The dishwasher measures about 17.2 inches tall, 21.6 inches wide and 19.7 inches deep, sized to sit on a standard countertop, and its racks hold up to roughly 70 pieces of tableware with plates up to 10 inches in diameter. It runs 8 functions covering Heavy, Normal, Baby-Care, ECO, Glass, Speed, Rinse and a Mini-Party setting, each suited to a different load type, delicate glassware on a gentle cycle, greasy pans on Heavy. Water temperature reaches up to about 154 degrees Fahrenheit during wash cycles to help cut through grease, and the unit carries an Energy Star certification, meaning it is designed to use less water and energy than a comparable non-certified model.

Setup, portability and daily use

Like other countertop dishwashers in this category, installation involves connecting a faucet adapter for water supply and running a drain hose to the sink, no permanent plumbing changes required. Because this model is marketed specifically around portability, the intent is that it moves easily if you switch apartments or want to store it away when not needed, rather than staying permanently connected. Day to day operation mirrors a full size dishwasher, load the racks, pick a program, and run it, with the Speed setting available for a faster turnaround on lightly soiled dishes. The tradeoff for portability is the same as any countertop dishwasher, it occupies real counter space and needs both a faucet and a drain point nearby.

Comparing it with COMFEE's other countertop models

COMFEE' sells this same core dishwasher format across several listings, and in the same roundup its own 6 liter built in water tank version and 5 liter tank version both score higher, mainly because a built in tank removes the need for a live faucet connection during each cycle, a real convenience if your sink setup is awkward to reach. This mini model is also very close in specification to another COMFEE' black finish countertop dishwasher in the same lineup, so the practical choice between them often comes down to available finish color and the exact hookup style rather than a meaningful performance gap. Shoppers should check current listings closely, since COMFEE's model names and finishes shift between very similar units.

Verdict

This COMFEE' mini dishwasher is a solid choice for one or two person households that want genuine 6 place setting washing power with the flexibility to disconnect and move it later. It earns our score of 8.2 out of 10 for delivering consistent program variety and Energy Star efficiency in a portable format. If a live faucet connection is inconvenient, COMFEE's built in water tank models solve that and score higher in this same roundup. Skip this capacity class entirely if you regularly wash for more than two people or need to fit oversized pots and sheet pans.
