HAVA Countertop Portable Dishwasher – 6 Programs, 5L Built-in Water Tank, No Hookup Needed

We are a neurodivergent couple without a dishwasher, which used to result in our counters being piled with dishes and us ordering takeout half the time. My husband was very skeptical because he had a tabletop dishwasher years ago that didn't work well, but after showing him the reviews he agreed to try it--and we are both glad he did! It obviously can't fit an abundance of dishes, but for two people who wfh it works well, and we usually run it once a day. We still hand wash our pans, but this takes care of the rest.

The first time we used it we decided to leave the dishes at full dirtiness (plates and bowls that had food residue dried onto them for over 24 hours--don't judge us) just to see how well it could clean them, and we were shocked that a little residue remained on just one dish--and we think that's because we hadn't positioned things quite right so the water likely couldn't reach it all.

Overall, we absolutely love this product and it has made our lives so much easier!

It works great for a two person household as far as how many dishes/cups/etc it will hold. It cleans like a dream. I've had it 8 months now and wish I had bought one sooner. It's easy to operate and quiet. You can hear it running but it isn't loud but it does have a loud beep when it is done, which is nice if you are in another room doing something else and waiting on it.

We've used this on a couple of camping trips. It works extremely well. We run a cycle after breakfast and again after dinner. It sits on a table outside the camper (27FB Airstream) so we continue to have plenty of room inside. It is very quiet. The 3 jug filling approach is fine and we put a bucket underneath the table to catch the waste water. It does a very good job of cleaning things.

I love this little machine. I have a small house without a dishwasher. I have no room for a standard or a mini built in. This machine is perfect. As I live alone, it handles my needs easily. It doesn't take up much space but does all the work of a full size. Although you can hook it up to a faucet, I use the water tank method. That allows me to use my faucet while the dishwasher is running. It is super quiet. You can stand next to it while it's running and carry on a conversation. I would recommend this dishwasher to anyone who is looking for a compact, portable dishwasher.

I love this dishwasher. Very easy to use. Quiet. Because of some plumbing problems, I can't just dump the water into the sink and have to dump the water into a bucket. This guy uses less than half the water when I wash by hand. So far, it has cleaned everything I've put in, minus a few super sticky things (washed these again and they came out spotless). I only use Lemi Shine dishwasher pods because they work, and aren't corrosive (they don't eat my Mason jar lids). I wish they made a full size dishwasher, but I don't have countless numbers of dishes to wash. Of the dozen dishswashers I've owned, this has by far been the best.

Like others, I have a 1950s kitchen, sans dishwasher, with no room for a dishwasher without a full kitchen remodel. I’ve been living with hand washing for 2 years before I stumbled upon this cute machine. It works great and gets my stuff super clean. I can fit about a day and a half worth of dishes (solo person that doesn’t cook a lot). No pans but I was washing by hand away. It got several tea stained cups/strainers looking like new !! I like that you get to add the water because it makes it more portable; the hose attachment would not fit a modern kitchen faucet and I have no other sink to use. I highly recommend this gadget! I get a ton of compliments on it too, it’s very cute. Love the blue light. Have used this about a month.

“Best purchase for a single person living in apartment/studio that does not have a dish washer”.

I bought this specific machine because it’s the FASTEST compact countertop dishwasher in both normal cleaning mode and speed wash / rapid mode.

HAVA normal mode is 69 minutes

Competitor normal mode is 139 minutes.

HAVA speed wash is 29 minutes

Competitor speed wash / “rapid mode” is 40 minutes.

I’ll try to cover everything in as little words as possible. Overall, I LOVE this thing. Use it multiple times a week, washes everything but my big pans, baking sheets, etc., and I’ve had it for almost 3 months with no issues. It fits quite a bit once you learn how to arrange things. Washes very well, only had one cup where a light lipstick stain remained, but the pics show a before and after of my pan from taco night that it got sparkling clean (I had to put it in vertical and close the door against the handle to get it to fit). Some reviews mentioned mold or tablets not breaking down, I use dishwasher liquid and I leave the door open after every cycle until it’s completely dry. That’s one con, it does not dry your dishes. Maybe partially but not completely, which doesn’t really bother me but might others. (The last pic was taken right after a wash and dry cycle) Also, the drying cycle makes a kind of high-pitch whistling noise, but you can’t really hear it unless you’re listening for it. If you put large dinner plates on the far right side, they will get pushed forward by the inside lip at the top of the dishwasher when you close the door, so either put them more towards the middle of the rack or plan to put small things beside them. I’ve used normal, speed, and fruit settings and they’ve all worked great. If you’re looking for something absolutely perfect, maybe try something else, but if you need a countertop dishwasher, get this!!

Works perfect for bottles and pump parts. My only issue is the one in the front right picture still had milk on it. The jets didn’t get into that bottle well. All others were clean and dry after using the dry cycle!

I have run this baby a total of 81 times at this point. We are a family of 5, with boys in school and daycare. We live in a rent to own situation so until we own this house we cannot go gutting the kitchen that was built in the 50s. Our counter space is limited along with floor space so we don't have the room to store a full sized washer. Instead this dishwasher sits next to the sink on the counter space that was previously taken by the drying rack. What drew me to this dishwasher was the ability to fill the tank and not needing to buy adapters for my sink. I can run the dishwasher and then hand wash my pans at the same time. Also if anyone else lives in an older home, they will also know the fun game of not being able to wash dishes while someone showers because it will take all the hot water. The tank eliminates that issue and I am able to put a load in before bed and go take a shower without fear.
My husband enjoys hand washing dishes while I do not, because while I wash dishes my kids are off finding trouble. I also enjoy the baby cycle for pet bowls /gecko decor and it would of been a huge blessing when my youngest was a baby and needing bottles for daycare. Any parent or parent to be who is currently hand washing bottles and then microwave sterilizing will understand the blessing that is not having to scrub little parts and having everything sterilized and ready to go.
I can also say that because it heats the water it is saving us money on oil because we are not hand washing in hot water that was heated by oil.
My kids love helping load/unload the dishwasher and the glass window is built in entertainment for them. I will say a con is the size but in the same breath it is a pro because we don't have the room for something bigger.
My only other cons are that there is no rinse aid compartment but I remedy that by using cascade platinum pods, and that I can't put the wire prongs up and down like other models. The upper sprayer arm doesn't always start spinning right away, but if you leave it alone it will start spinning after the first 2 minutes of the cycle.

Things I wanted to know when I was looking at dishwashers and landed on this model.
1) I have Mikasa dish sets from Costco. They all fit no issue and I can fit 10 plates (good to know if you host)
2) I can fit my kids bentigo lunch boxes I recommend vertical to prevent the clips from hanging down and interfering with the sprayer arm.
3) I can fit a 7 qt bowl and strainer along with a whisk and measuring cup no issue
4) I run multiple loads a day but I would also hand wash multiple loads a day. So it's not a big deal. What I could fit on the dish rack is what I can fit into the dishwasher but I don't need to had wash and hand dry them so major win. I also get the pods from Costco and buy a couple boxes when they are on sale.
5) I cannot fit my largest baking pan in the dishwasher but I can fit my smaller ones. I also can't fit a normal cookie sheet, but I can fit my smaller ones which might be a bonus for people who live in small apartments or are 1-2 personal household. I can fit a crock pot and large pots, along with small cutting boards.
6) most dishes can be run on a quick cycle especially if they were just used. Normal is good for your items used for cooking or kids school lunch boxes that you want a little more heat and a longer cycle. Baby/heavy is awesome for pet /bottles and if everyone in the house is dealing with sickness like strep and Covid where you would like to light everything on fire but can't.
7) fruit wash works fine I normally wash my fruits in veggie wash and soak them for way too long so being able to put all the apples (15) and filling the basket with grapes/strawberries/ blueberries saves time and I can load it and run it while I put my other groceries away. I do recommend cleaning your filter prior to running it
8) you do not need to use the pitcher to fill the machine we just use the hose from our sink and it beeps when it is full
9) the suction cup and hose stay in the sink without issue. We have the suction cup 4in from the top of the hose in the sink.
10) the top rack ment for cups is great for the munchkin lids for sippy cups and straws easily fit in the wholes for the silverware.
11) the sound the dishwasher makes is melodic. It doesn't bother me at all, quite the opposite it actually pleases me. The light turns on when you open the door, and when you first power it on and stays on for 1-2 minutes. If your kids are like mine and they "need to see" you can pause the cycle open the door and close it and the light will be back on while it washes but fear not, no water will leak when you do that, but it can be steamy and hot so I don't recommend littles doing it on their own. It's nice to know though that if my kids opened the door mid cycle I wouldn't have a bunch of hot soapy water pouring out.

Overall this dishwasher has changed my life, keeps my sink clean and makes it so I don't dread hosting a party. I will need to do multiple loads ie plates/silverware, cups and desert items, prep items, and cooking items. However, It makes it so I have more time to spend with my guest instead of standing at the sink and hand washing a ton of dishes.
