Re: benchtop dishwashers
In australia I have only seen a few brands with benchtop models.
Asko – very good
LG – not recommended – these can have drainage problems
There are a few other brands I have seen on occasion but these tend to be in school science labs so are possibly a commercial machine – can’t think of the names offhand.
There are also some slim models available if space is tight – Bosch and Miele make very good ones at less than the standard width. I haven’t seen a recent Bosch one but they are probably still available, the Miele I saw was only purchased in the last 12 months.
