Could anyone recommend one for me please?
Thank you in advance for your help.

🙂Re: Which tabletop dishwasher should i buy?
i personally have a hotpoint compact 7891 tabletop dishwasher which is identical to a bosch model it has given years of good service although i have had to replace the motor impellor twice in 8 years.
its used at least twice a day it takes a deceptively lot of dishes and is easy to operate.Re: Which tabletop dishwasher should i buy?
There is a Bosch tabletop machine still available, slightly modified to allow better energy efficiency, and cleaning performance. They are good machines, spare parts are readily available.
The Hotpoint model is no longer available, due to Indesit now owning the Hotpoint brand.
If using a tabletop machine, USE POWDER DETERGENT, and separate Rinse Aid. Use salt in a ‘hard water’ area.
Tablets of any type are too concentrated for these machines, and will cause overfoaming with detrimental results to cleaning performance, and possibly the machine (flooding).
STAY AWAY from the foreign (Chinese) machines: the ones with the little plastic ‘window’, on sale in the electrical stores. There have been problems with lack of available spares, and the window leaks after a bit of time.

Hi Lynne
Bosch is the best one without a doubt model number SKT5102GB. Two year guarantee as well, follow the link to the spec paqe.
Like Trilobite says “stay away from the Chinese type machines”.

Re: Which tabletop dishwasher should i buy?
thats virtually identical to my old hotpoint. they dont seem to have changed it much externally but obviously any energy saving should be good.
i always use loose soap powder (no own brand makes) and seperate rinse aid. no 5 in ones, tablets or bursts. because of the smal amount of water used you dont need much powder.
its a safe model as you have to switch it off before opening the door so no chance of water blasting out if someone opens the door accidentally.
