Cookology CMDW2 Mini Portable Dishwasher Table Top with Baby Bottle Rack (Silver)

After reading all the reviews, I went for it and purchased this handy Little dishwasher! Its rather expensive for unfortunately but definitely worth every penny.Im an asian mother of 3 young Children eating all day...and with the lockdown the dishes have become unbearable to do.I live in a flat and installing a dishwasher would be impossible.I randomly was Just searching for A portable dishwasher in the hope that i can just HAVE A DISHWASHER and to my surprise Amazon were selling this handy little machine!This is the best appliance which I have ever bought! Its being more used than my washing machine. It goes on after each meal; breakfast, lunch and dinner So 3/4 times a day definitely a great way to keep on top of your dishes if you want them back quick instead of stacking them All up and waiting for the end of the day to put your dishwasher on.I actually have so many dishes to put in every-time and surprising it fits a lot in more than I expected if I'm honest!Loading was a trial and error so my 1st week of dishes were a hit and miss once you have Had a fiddle with loading your regular dishes then you’ll be fine with sparkling dishes coming out each time. I choose the P2 (1hour) cycle there are other cycles like the 30min cycle but it does not dry and an ECO cycle which is 2 hour and 40min, it has a program for; glassware (2 hour), babys bottle with steam and fruit wash.Installing was great as no hassle and stress of buying the right faucet adapter or getting a plumber to fit in, As soon as you receive your parcel you plug it in, attach the outlet pipe, Add 13g salt along with a 1L of water and have your dishwasher basket already loaded so you can go ahead and quickly start the dishwasher because once you have filled the salt compartment with salt you need to get the dishwasher started to avoid corrosion as the salt shouldn’t really sit on any surface.Then just simply fill the mini Little dishwasher with 5L water add your favourite detergent to the dirty dishes and simply touch your desired program and start the cycle..EASY! Before you know it your dishes are washed and dried (depending on the the cycle chosen)!I have kept the outlet pipe inside my kitchen sink as thats where i was able to place the dishwasher on top of my counter next to the sink. If you however have no space on the counter near a sink then place it on a table with a bucket next to it with the outlet pipe sitting inside of the bucket.This dishwasher really does work if anything it makes my tired looking dishes looking Evan more Spick an span!Maintaining is easy because its compact, I usually just clean the filter after every cycle and also wipe the inside of the dishwasher down. I keep the dishwasher door open to avoid moulds and odour but i do this with my washing machine too.Loading is a real pleasure because you just take out the basket and load it, slide the basket back in it’s really as simple as that. Also i don't have to bend As I have kept it sitting on my counter.My only niggle is... I wish wish wish Cookology will make another one but a BIGGER! Seriously I love this dishwasher but just want it a little bit bigger.

This is a great little dishwasher that sits on my work surface.It is a basic dishwasher, I’ve included a photo showing the various washes.It has a salt dispenser but no rinse aid compartment like many other larger machines that aid the final rinse If you are used to using those chemicals. The salt dispenser does aid with rinse aid though and to be honest it’s absolutely fine.The unit has a light that can be turned on by a simple touch of the Control Panel and it stays on for a set time and then goes off but you can always activate it again.This unit can either be plumbed in or can be filled manually or you can get an adapter if you so wish for your tap. I’m simply filling the reservoir up with the supplied water container that’s included with the dishwasher. I’ve also not bothered plumbing in the waste pipe but simply have it running into my sink.You can use either powder or tablets or liquid but it’s worth mentioning that they recommend a longer wash if you use tabs so that it allows time for these to break down and to work. I’ve been using finish quantum tabs and finish powder and so far the results are great.Now I know the recommended amount according to the book is 6 g of powder but this varies when you start to get used to the amount of powder needed depending on what you are washing, of course if you use these all in one tablets it’s not a problem but I find with the powder I’m using 6 g is fine for a quick wash but anything that needs a little bit more work then I either have to increase the amount of powder or simply throw in one of the tablets and run a longer cycle.The dishwasher itself is not tall and any plate over 25 cm is going to be a push to fit up right so on some of my plates I have to angle them within the dishwasher and load it appropriately taking that into account. It’s not a huge dishwasher by any means but it’s fine for me.I would’ve liked to seen the door that acted more like a conventional dishwasher where it tends to spring up as they recommend leaving the door slightly ajar to allow air inside wall not in use but because the door is held magnetically and there is no spring as such in the store I’ve got around this by placing a thin cloth at the top section of the door as seen in the photo. You could simply leave the door wide open but it’s always in my way hence the cloth.Results have been really good, washed items have come out spotless And no sign of white streaks. With this in mind there is a setting for adjusting the sort out but depending on your water hardness. This was very simple to set, I simply visited my water suppliers website where they gave me the figures I required and I just matched up with the handbook and adjusted the output as described within the handbook.There’s really not a lot more to say but it’s been a great machine so far and very easy to operate.A little update, after almost 3 years this has now failed. The internal pump failed and I open up the unit to see that water had damaged the heat exchange unit which also failed. Water had corroded the outside of the heat exchange.
