Purpose and dimensions of a tabletop dishwasher. Review of the best models from a professional
The dimensions of a tabletop dishwasher are always small - they do not exceed 55 cm in length and width, and the depth is also about 50-55 cm. This allows you not only to place the unit on the table, but also to build it into a small cabinet under the countertop. The main advantages and best models of this type are described in this article.

Dimensions and capacity
Tabletop dishwashers have minimal dimensions, so they can be placed on a table or built into a small cabinet, as shown in the diagram. The main parameters of most models are:
- length 50-55 cm;
- height 43-55 cm;
- width (depth) 50-55 cm.
Despite such a modest size of the countertop dishwasher, it performs all the basic functions, that is, pre-soaking, direct washing and drying (the availability of specific options depends on the model).
The capacity of even a small device ranges from 2 to 6 place settings. Moreover, each set includes several items:
- 2 flat plates;
- spoon;
- fork;
- coffee cup with a small saucer.
Theoretically, you can put even more items, but you should not do this, since the device will not be able to wash them thoroughly enough. If you need a larger capacity, for example, 10 sets, you should consider purchasing a narrow dishwasher, which does not take up as much space compared to full-size models.
Review of the best models
The tabletop dishwasher, the photo of which is shown below, must operate in several modes and also have a leakage protection system. When choosing, you should also take into account customer reviews and brand popularity. If you weigh several parameters, including affordability, you can make the following rating of the best models:
- De'Longhi DDW07T Fridere holds up to 6 sets of dishes, while having very small dimensions of 44*55*55 cm. The main functionality includes washing and drying dishes. It can work in both standard and delicate modes, as well as intensive, fast and other modes. Among the advantages are high power (1.2 kW). But at the same time, some users say that the basket is inconvenient.
- Electrolux ESF 2300 DW – a compact tabletop unit designed for 6 sets of dishes. Works in 1 of 6 selected modes, implements both washing and condensation drying. Dimensions 44*55*50 cm. At the same time, it has a third level (especially for forks and spoons), equipped with indicators and a leakage protection system.
- MAUNFELD MLP-06S – spacious (6 sets) and small dishwasher (44*55*50 cm). Works in 5 modes, including fast and economical. Consumes a minimum of water - even a standard cycle uses only 6.5 liters. Consumes a minimum of energy (one of the highest classes - A+).
- Weissgauff TDW 5065 D – a convenient tabletop unit for 6 sets of dishes. Compact, parameters 45*55*50 cm, works in 5 modes. Equipped with a display and timer, as well as indicators and a protection system against possible leakage. Touch control type.
- Weissgauff TDW 4006 S – one of the most spacious tabletop dishwashers, capable of processing up to 8 sets in 1 cycle (lasts 2.5 hours).It works in 5 programs, and condensation drying is also provided. The dimensions are slightly larger than other models - 59*55*50 cm. However, this device can also be built under the countertop.
Tabletop dishwashers can be the optimal solution in a small apartment, studio, or even in a separate room. These are very compact devices that practically do not differ in functionality from full-size ones. If you purchase a reliable model from a well-known manufacturer, it will work much longer than the stated warranty period.
