Hermitlux Table Top Dishwasher for 5 Place Settings (5L Tank), Countertop Dishwasher with 6 Programmes Including 360° Spray Arms | Hot - Air Drying | Energy Class D | No Installation

I want to start by highlighting how fantastic this product is. It feels very sturdy, well-built, and is easy to install. We purchased this dishwasher because our home didn’t have one, and it wasn’t feasible to have a permanent installation in our rented accommodation. We have been using it for a few weeks now, and each time our dishes and utensils come out sparkling clean. In the past, with some other dishwashers, we've noticed that plates used for cooking eggs—especially soft-boiled eggs—would sometimes emerge with an unpleasant smell and would need to be rewashed. However, that has never been an issue with this dishwasher. Initially, we used it by top filling, and then we eventually attached it to the tap. Both refill methods work great. The drain pipe is secured onto the sink and functions well. The only downside we have encountered with this unit is its size. While it can fit quite a few items, it is unfortunately too small for our household's usage. We tend to do frequent cooking and baking, and most of our pots and pans do not fit into this dishwasher. However, it proved very convenient when we had a group of friends over, as we were able to fit up to five sets of tableware quite comfortably. We have tested it out for a few weeks and were determined to keep it because we found it to be an excellent product. However, we have had to run it two to three times a day to keep up with the amount of dishes and cookware we use. From our experience, a household that primarily needs a dishwasher for plates and cutlery would absolutely find this product useful and worthwhile.

Very impressed with this counter top dishwasher. Ideal for myself and the 2 little ones. Cleans very well, easy to use. If, like me, you use it with the water tank its a straight forward out of the box setup. Its compact size is ideal for smaller kitchens. Very quiet little thing too. Can not fault the quality, and the amount you can actual load into it.

I’ve physical problems. This is an easy machine. It has made my days so much less painful. Sits on the counter well. It does a great job. Not too noisy. Is easy to fit the sink pipe. To fill the water tank, measuring jug, and drip tray provided. Easy load, and unload, as the casters are very smooth. Easy to program. I didn’t get it plumbed in, but it comes with attachments to make that choice. Seriously excellent machine. Handsome too. Saved me a fortune in hiring help already. Superb choice.

First impressions: I noticed other people mentioned the machine was wet right out of the box. They failed to mention there’s a sticker that says that’s normal and due to warranty tests. After figuring out the set up (and reluctantly reading the manual), I spent the entire day washing a mountain of dishes that had accumulated. Like a lot of people in the reviews, I bought this because I have disabilities and struggle with the dishes. It‘s been great, I’ve been very impressed with the performance. People have mentioned they find it to be noisy, I wouldn’t have that same complaint. I can hear it from the next room but not to the point where it would bother me. A standard dishwasher would be just as loud. Very impressed with the pressure on the machine, I put a lasagne dish in there that had been baked pretty good, no pre-soak, and it came out clean as a whistle. . Reasons why I wouldn’t recommend: Some of my plates don’t fit in there very well and I have noticed that the blades are very easy to seize up if something blocks them, like a tiny bit of a plate poking out from under the dishwasher rack. I wouldn’t go with a windowless model because with the window, you can see when that is happening and correct it. Pausing the wash causes no issues in my experience. I think it’s also quite expensive for what you’re buying, so it should be considered whether this or a compact dishwasher would be better for you. If you are a renter or someone who doesn’t have any space to plumb in a new appliance, this is for you, but if you own your own home and intend to plumb it in, there are reputable brands that charge less than this for a better product. I priced a morphy Richard’s compact dishwasher for £199, so I can’t in my right mind say that this one is worth £250+, I would say closer to £175 is where I’d have wanted to pay. This is a run of the mill generic chinese dishwasher, and while there’s nothing wrong with that right now, but I worry about how repairable it’s going to be when it breaks down. I don’t think my local handyman is going to have heard of „Hermit Lux“ before, and who knows if any parts will be available. When you buy from a reputable brand, you know you don’t have to worry about that. Update: 6 month review. I've used this dishwasher near every single day without much issue. I will say that one issue I've encountered is that the water tank inlet (for jug filling rather than if you've plumbed the machine in, which I have not) likes to grow mold, so I give it a little scrub with a dab of bleach every week, that seems to do the trick. I haven't encountered any problems with the machine breaking down like other people have reviewed, but I have made sure not to put anything extremely dirty into the dishwasher, everything gets a quick rinse under the tap before it goes in & the machine gets a weekly clean down of it's parts to keep it tip top. It really has been embarrassingly life changing for me, I love this little white box. As much as I stand by the fact it could stand to be a little bit cheaper, I'd still buy it again. 1 year update: still works very well, still no issues. Upgrading from a 4 star to 5 as it has been incredibly reliable, more than I was expecting it to be.

Very happy with this small dishwasher, it's been a huge timesaver and works well in a small kitchen for a couple of people. I particularly liked that it could be plumbed in, though the drain hose was a bit awkward to install. It has clogged and failed to drain a couple of times, but cleaning out the drain hose and filter, and leaving it for a while seems to have sorted whatever it was. It is small, and you'll have trouble with large plates. We were replacing ours anyway and found the IKEA Gladelig 25cm plates fit pretty well. Lastly, the only shame is that it doesn't have salt or rinse aid dispensers, or even a first rinse cycle before the main wash (there's no lid on the detergent dispenser) like full sized dishwashers. It was a great replacement for an old Bosch dishwasher, as the newer mini dishwashers are larger than they used to be. Highly recommended if you're limited by space.

Compré este lavavajillas hace más de un año (13 meses concretamente) y no puedo estar más contento. Vivo en un piso pequeño donde no me cabría cómodamente un lavavajillas, ni siquiera uno de los de ancho de 45 cm, así que, cuando quise uno y supe de estos, me puse a buscar. Aquí mismo hay varios de diferentes marcas y que parecen ser iguales (por dentro muchos seguro que lo serán), pero me decidí por este porque tenía de media mejores opiniones, y no me arrepiento de mi decisión. Están también lo de puerta de cristal, que son como más "curiosos", al dejarte ver el proceso de fregado, pero ¿quién necesita ver el proceso? Lo que importa es el resultado y, además, esa tontería de puerta de cristal hace que sean más caros. La capacidad de carga, para alguien como yo, que vivo solo, es más que suficiente. Gracias a eso, lo pongo cada 2 o incluso 3 días. Da para unos 6 platos grandes y "jugando al Tetris", como otros usuarios dicen, uno o dos más, de los pequeños, ya te caben. Aparte de eso, da para unos cuantos cubiertos, gracias a la cesta incluida, y algunos vasos y tazas. Según como lo organice, me puede dar para una sartén pequeña (de 20 cm), pero en ese caso ya se limita la capacidad total. Ollas y sartenes grandes las lavo fuera, que al menos me quita el gasto de agua de lavar platos y tazas, que ya es mayor de lo que la gente cree. Para el caso del producto de limpieza a escoger, es más recomendable usar líquido o en polvo, ya que las pastillas habituales son para lavavajillas más grandes, y el líquido o polvo lo puedes controlar y meter lo justo. Tiene varios programas, de 30, 60 y 90 minutos. Yo uso el de 30 o el de 60, en función de cantidad de cosas a lavar y su suciedad. En el caso del de 30, si metes cosas muy sucias sí es posible que algo se te quede sin lavar al 100%, pero con el de 60 sale todo impecable. Una maravilla lo mucho que ahora me duran los tuppers sin esas manchas de tomate que nunca se van. Se puede conectar a la toma de agua de la cocina o (como yo) llenar el depósito incorporado. Llenarlo no lleva tanto tiempo y es una gozada, al saber que todo el ciclo de lavado no va a gastar más de los 5 litros que lleva. Una vez encendido, vas llenando con la jarra incorporada y empieza a pitar cuando ya has llegado a los 5 litros. Una vez empieza el lavado, lo primero que hace es expulsar todo lo que hayas echado por encima de esos 5 litros y luego empieza el ciclo de lavado. Tras el lavado, comienza un ciclo de secado de 60 minutos, pero yo nunca lo hago, ya que lo desenchufo, abro la puerta y espero que se seque al aire, que gasta menos luz. Ese secado lo que hace es sacar el vapor acumulado con un ventilador. Lo usé una vez para probarlo y sí es cierto que tras esa hora sale todo super seco, pero no lo veo imprescindible. El filtro que trae, que es como los normales, solo que más pequeño, se limpia como en un lavavajillas grande, con desenroscar y darle un poco con agua del grifo. Para limpiar el lavavajillas en sí, yo he usado sin problema esas botellas que venden en el supermercado, con las que queda impecable. Un gran producto que recomiendo a quien tenga poco espacio, como es mi caso, o a quien quiera he fregar menos un una escapada al campo y pueda, por ejemplo, enchufarlo en una autocaravana, gracias a su portabilidad. Como funciona adicional, incluye un programa de llenado de fruta y verdura, para lo cual también trae una cesta. En este caso, solo usa agua y no es necesario meter ningún detergente. Muy útil en esas escapadas al campo y para preparar ensaladas. En ese caso el programa es de 20 minutos.

Works as it should

Very easy to use and enough space for just my dishes plus my cat's bowl. It cleans very well in 30 minutes. Doesn't leak anywhere. Drying is optional. Does dry very well.

Super!

Je suis contente de cet achat, n'ayant pas la possibilité d'avoir un lave vaisselle dans mon appartement car pas d'arrivée d'eau. Très pratique de pouvoir choisir le remplissage manuel ou branchement à l'arrivée d'eau. REMPLISSAGE EAU Pour le remplissage, il faut remplir 3 fois la carafe de 1,8 l, soit un peu plus de 5 litres. Pour économiser l'eau, je récupère l'eau du robinet ou de la douche à l'aide de la carafe, pas l'eau sale évidemment mais l'eau qu'on laisse couler avant que l'eau soit chaude. Je transvase cette eau de la carafe dans un bidon de 5 litres en attendant de l'utiliser. Avant de remplir le réservoir d'eau, je vous conseille de mettre le gel ou la pastille et de lancer le programme. Le lave vaisselle émet un bip et un signal rouge. Lorsque vous ajoutez l'eau, le lave vaisselle démarrera automatiquement quand la bonne quantité d'eau sera atteinte. C'est assez bien pensé. LAVAGE Mieux vaut les pastilles ou les tablettes. J'ai testé avec du gel, mais le soucis c'est qu'il n'y a pas de capot donc le gel coule quand on ferme le lave vaisselle. Donc on en perd la moitié. Je ne sais pas si cela rend le lavage moins efficace, mais avec les produits solides c'est beaucoup mieux lavé. Je me sers du programme ECO (1h) ou du QUICK (30min) Pensez à éliminez les résidus qui pourraient encombrer le tube de vidange. Pas besoin de faire un prélavage à l'eau pour autant, mais simplement essuyez ou débarrassez cela avec un ustensile. SECHAGE Il y a une fonction DRY mais je ne m'en sers pas, c'est inutile d'utiliser de l'électricité pour cela, alors qu'il suffit d'ouvrir le lave vaisselle une fois le cycle de lavage terminé et de laisser sécher. On peut tout à fait sortir l'égouttoir pour que tout sèche à l'air libre. CONCLUSION Peu de point négatifs pour ma part. Il faut juste vérifier avant le lavage que les hélices du haut et du bas ne soient pas bloquées pour tourner lors du cycle. Il n'est pas trop bruyant, je trouve même le bruit agréable. Pour moi c'est un gain de temps, et puis il est plus efficace que moi, les verres ressortent vraiment propres, sans traces. Et le reste de la vaisselle est mieux lavée. Les corps gras sont bien éliminés. Idéal pour 1 personne, peut-être 2 tout dépend de votre quantité de vaisselle. Je lave les récipients encombrants à la main, mais pour le reste je le laisse faire. Le petit point négatif, c'est le prix, c'est toujours frustrant une telle dépense mais je ne regrette pas, car il me libère d'une corvée, et il le fait bien mieux que moi. Je suis très contente d'avoir pu trouver un produit adapté à ceux qui n'ont pas forcément d'arrivée d'eau. J'avoue que je ne pourrais plus m'en passer.
