Ranked #3 in Best Countertop Dishwashers

Hava R01 Countertop Dishwasher

4.2

3 sources$280as of Aug 1

The Hava R01 countertop dishwasher is built for small households or anyone without room for a full-size unit. Reviewers praised its water efficiency, 75% less than handwashing, and the five wash cycles including a 29-minute Speed option. A built-in 5-liter tank and easy setup make it work in apartments, RVs, or rental suites. Critics noted the limited capacity and that it does best with small dishware. Couples and singles who want a space-saving, efficient alternative to handwashing get a solid choice.

Strengths

— Compact design maximizes space utilization with 16.86" x 16.75" x 18.05" dimensions
— Uses only 5 liters of water per cycle, 75% less than handwashing
— Five wash cycles including Speed, Normal, Soft, Baby Care/Heavy, and Fruit

Watch-outs

— Limited usable space, works best with small, standardized dinnerware
— Packaged in excessive plastic that could be replaced with biodegradable materials

How they stack up

Hava R01 Countertop Dishwasher

The Hava Countertop Dishwasher is more water-efficient than the Danby and Midea models, but it has less usable space than the Farberware and Comfee models. It lacks the specialized cycles of the Comfee and Danby, and unlike the Black + Decker, it doesn't require a faucet connection, making it more portable than the Farberware Complete.

Midea Countertop Dishwasher

The Midea model has better loading options than the Farberware and Hava models, but it lacks a built-in water tank, unlike the Comfee and Hermitlux models. It's more efficient than the Danby in terms of water usage, but it has more complex controls than the Hava and lacks the specialized cycles of the Comfee and Danby models.
