COMFEE’ Portable Dishwasher Countertop with 5L Built-in Water Tank, No Hookup Needed, 6 Programs, 360° Dual Spray, 192℉ High-Temp& Air-Dry…

UPDATED 4/15/2024

Dishwasher pump finally died last week. If you’re handy, this probably won’t be an issue for you. For those who aren’t. expect to get a couple years out of this machine. I do think that’s not bad for a portable dishwasher. I still recommend it. I just wanted to update my previous review with the death date of my Comfee dishwasher. RIP

———————
Original review from purchase 2 yrs ago:

First off, I want to say I love Comfee brand appliances. They were originally designed for commercial use, and if used properly, residential customers can have high expectations. In almost 2 years I have never had a single link. You need to make sure the drain hose obviously drops lower than the level of the dishwasher.. common sense. Even though it has a pump to eject all used water, it’s not going to pump straight up. That’s just absurd. Next, Comfee gives you a hose tighter thing that you need to firm twist into place where the hose connects to the dishwasher. With out that 10 second action, yep, you will have leaks.. I hope I don’t have to explain why.

I have read reviews concerning suds… ummm… dishwasher detergent creates zero suds by default. If you have suds, you’re using regular dish detergent and not dishwasher detergent. Think people, think. Also, do not use dishwasher detergent pods. They never dissolve completely in countertop dishwashers, especially if you’re using express washing. Just get the gold old fashioned liquid Cascade detergent. Works instantly and as a bonus, will save you money.

If you have kids loading the dishwasher, make sure the dishes are arranged sensibly so that the water can reach all parts of the dishes. You cannot stack dishes that are blocking one another and realistically believe they will be magically cleaned with contact from the soapy water.

If chunks of food are flopping around your dishwater (GROSS) because the dishes weren’t rinsed first, you can definitely expect the drain to be clogged. Thankfully, Comfee expected people to lack this common sense and made cleaning the filters ridiculously easy! After you empty your dishwasher, pull the filter on the center of the bottom of inside the dishwasher. It’s pops up without any Braen necessary and you clean in the sink and get out all the gunk you put in the dishwasher in the first place. Same worth the arms that spray the water. Make sure you didn’t gunk those up too.

PS, and this is off topic, but I was so happy with the quality dishwasher at a very fair price, I purchased their washer combo for my RV and that works beautifully. MUCH better than the previous LG combo I owned that kept breaking down. The Comfee combo has already outlived the LG version. Like I said, in the beginning, Comfee the last few years, they decided to sell to residential customers as well. No one should be complaining if they are using these appliances properly. I can occasional appliance malfunctioning through no fault of the buyer. But in the reviews there are so many people complaining, it’s obvious that common sense is lacking in abundance. Hope this helps someone make a decision.

Please note, I have not been incentivized in any way, shape or form to write this review. It is literally my personal experience, and I am not affiliated with any company for that matter.

esta de lujo, lo recomiendo bastante, funciona bastante, aun no puedo decir el gasto de luz que tendrá en estos meses pero espero no sea demasiado :S

As a journalist, I tend to read bad reviews before I read good reviews because I know many good reviews are paid for. I can usually read between the lines on bad reviews if someone is really not happy with the product or if they’re just mad with the delivery service and blaming the product. So, when I researched and reviewed many brands of countertop mini-dishwashers, I was hesitant. And I was unfamiliar with the brand Comfee. So I researched literally for months. The majority of the reviews were pretty good, I must say, very few complaints. Most negative reviews sounded like ppl who didn’t understand how it worked.

There is a small learning curve but the Comfee manual clearly explains all the how to’s, do’s and don’ts. It is well packed in its box and very heavy. Perhaps a big guy can lift it to the counter alone but in my case, it took two women to place it on the counter. As it states, it is small, good for a 2 place setting if you pack it right. But I’ve washed small pans and pan covers, among the dishes, and all came out well. It’s important to note that it does have upper and lower rotors so be careful not to pack things too high or let silverware or handles fall through the silverware rack.

The tray on which dishes are placed rolls easily in and out of the machine so you can let it dry out in your sink while wiping down the interior after a wash. The model I chose really doesn’t have a drying portion so I let it sit for about 1/2 hour after wash is complete and then open the door and let the rest air dry. I have only needed to use it twice a week, enough that I don’t need to do dishes manually anymore, which is fantastic.

So far, it has done a higher than expected awesome job at cleaning everything. No spots, no lines, no streaks. It is also remarkably quiet. I have used only the manual wash where you pour the water into it via a top filter. Comfee provides the pitcher and a scoop so the water goes right in, about 3 gallons. A buzzer rings when it’s full so you don’t have to guess or worry about overspill. Then I use the drain hose provided to drain the water right into my sink. This was the key reason for this purchase. I didn’t want to hook anything up to my faucet as it would be too big a pain to attach and detach for each wash. This feature makes it very portable too like for an RV.

Biggest advice, read the instructions. Comfee makes it very clear on use, cleaning, things to do in which order, one of the best manuals I’ve every seen. I have a very small kitchen and even less counter space so this was perfect for my counter. Those who have seen it have fallen in love with it.

The model I purchased has a fruit cleaner but does not supply a colander so I bought an itty bitty one on Amazon. It also has short wash, long wash, and a couple of other options. I strongly suggest that after each wash, say before bed, leave the door open to air out. Wipe down the inside walls and floor but a good airing certainly helps too. It does have a little removable filter on the floor that is supposed to capture any food left on plates. However, I rinse all my dishes and silverware before I put anything in the Comfee as I don’t want to take the risk of something clogging up the machine. I take the filter out once a week and wipe it clean anyway and dry up any water left over so it doesn’t get moldy or attract bugs.

This Comfee model was $300 on Amazon but like most things I just put it in my cart and waited for a sale. Amazon notifies you when things in your cart are discounted or go on sale. Finally, after a couple of months, Amazon had a sale and Comfee was offering $40 off so it ended up costing about $200. Even though I’ve used it only about a dozen times so far… it has been worth every penny, less work, more time for other stuff., and far less dishwater hands and fingers.

I wish I had a complaint but so far so good. I am delightfully surprised and happy with this purchase. If anything changes or it breaks down after a few months, I’ll be back to let you know.

I’ve had this dishwasher for a year now, and it’s still working strong. I use it by filling it instead of having it hooked up to the sink. The draining hose is long so I can run it down into a large bucket to drain later. The machine is heavy, and a bit bulky but it’s a dishwasher. Honestly, my favorite appliance I own. It cleans dishes great. Cycles take like 2 hours, but I don’t have to wash the dishes. Just scrape off the food and stack it in there. You can cram a lot inside, like 4 plates and 5 mugs, and a bunch of silverware. It’s not too loud either.

If you hate washing dishes, I definitely recommend. It doesn’t take giant plates though, only medium/small. Very easy to hook up and clean, just make sure the hose is secured wherever you put it cuz it dumps the water pretty hard pressure wise so the hose might slide off out of a bucket if you do it that way. I got my dollars worth on this thing and it’s still working strong.
