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

Who this countertop dishwasher fits

This dishwasher is built for renters, dorm residents, RV owners and anyone in a small kitchen who wants to skip hand washing without installing a full size built in unit. At 6 place settings it comfortably handles a day of dishes, glasses and cutlery for one or two people, which covers most studio and one bedroom households. It sits on a countertop or a sturdy cart and connects to a kitchen faucet with an adapter rather than a permanent water line, so it can move with you when you relocate. Anyone who regularly cooks for a larger household, or who needs to wash oversized pots, sheet pans or a stockpot, will outgrow this capacity quickly and should look at a larger portable or built in dishwasher instead.

Capacity, programs and cleaning power

The unit measures about 17.2 inches tall, 21.6 inches wide and 19.7 inches deep, and its interior racks are rated to hold up to 70 pieces of tableware with plates up to 10 inches across. It runs 8 washing programs, including Heavy, Normal, Baby-Care, ECO, Glass and a fast Speed cycle, plus a Rinse option, so lightly soiled glassware and greasy pots each get an appropriate cycle instead of one generic setting. The Heavy program uses 12 spray nozzles in a 360 degree spiral pattern for more even coverage, and water temperatures reach up to 154 degrees Fahrenheit to help break down grease and stuck on food. COMFEE' rates the unit Energy Star certified, with water use as low as roughly 2.77 gallons per cycle.

Setting it up and living with it

Installation involves connecting the included faucet adapter to a standard kitchen tap, then running the drain hose into the sink; no permanent plumbing modification is required, which is why this style of dishwasher suits renters. The Speed program finishes a light load in about 45 minutes, handy for a quick turnaround between meals, while the full Heavy cycle takes longer for genuinely dirty pots and pans. Because the unit sits on the counter or a nearby cart, it does take up real workspace, and the hoses need to reach both the faucet and a drain point, so measure your sink layout before buying. Day to day, loading and running it feels close to a full size dishwasher, just with a smaller basket and less room for tall items.

How it stacks up against similar COMFEE' models

COMFEE' sells several very similar countertop dishwashers, and within the same small kitchen roundup its own 6 liter built in water tank version and 5 liter tank version both score higher, largely because a built in water tank lets you run cycles without a live faucet connection, useful if your sink setup makes a hookup awkward. The SPT SD-2224DS, a different brand with delay start scheduling, scores close behind this model and is worth a look if starting a cycle later in the day matters to you. Compared with all of these, this particular COMFEE' model is a solid, no frills faucet connected option, the tradeoff is that you lose the flexibility of a built in tank.

Verdict

Choose this COMFEE' countertop dishwasher if you want a real 6 place setting wash cycle in a small kitchen and do not mind connecting it to a faucet each time you run it. It earns our score of 8.2 out of 10 for genuinely useful capacity and program variety in a compact footprint. If a live faucet hookup is inconvenient in your kitchen, COMFEE's own built in water tank models solve that problem and score even higher in this roundup. Skip this size category altogether if you regularly need to wash large pots, sheet pans or cookware that will not fit a 10 inch plate limit.
