Compact dishwashers

Let’s face it washing up is a chore that most of us can happily live without. It’s laborious, time-consuming and, unless you’re eating out, something you probably need to do every single day. Unless your kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, that is. For all those reasons, many consider the dishwasher to be something of a kitchen must-have – simply load up the dirty dishes, pans and cutlery after dinner and enjoy the rest of your evening. What could be easier?

Sadly, not all kitchens are able to accommodate a dishwasher – even slim models take up quite a lot of floor space. But there is a solution - if floor space is at a premium, why not opt for a tabletop model? That’s right, the countertop dishwasher might just be the space saving kitchen solution you never knew you needed.

Compact enough to sit on a kitchen counter top, these neat portable dishwashers are the perfect solution for smaller households and, while they’re relatively rare, we have a few to choose from, including the latest models from Zanussi, who have done a fine job of cramming all their dishwasher knowhow into small but perfectly formed packages.

Take the Zanussi ZDM17301WA Compact Dishwasher, which saves on space and utility bills thanks to its A+ energy rating. With a six place setting capacity, this tabletop dishwasher is deceptively capacious. It’s also smart and flexible, offering 6 cleaning programs to suit different loads. Depending on what you’re washing, you can choose from programs like an Eco 55 wash to save on resources, a Glass 40 wash to care for delicate items and an Intensive 70 wash that will take care of heavily soiled crockery.

The Appliance Centre tabletop dishwasher collection also features the budget-friendly Beko, which delivers dependably sparkling results at a great price. Or if you’ve got a bit more space to play with, why not check out our selection of slimline dishwashers, which includes svelte, space-saving models from Beko, Hotpoint and Indesit.
