Review: Purchased 4 years ago and it is still exceeding my expectations every day! - I purchased this dishwasher in 2022 and have been using it daily since. I am absolutely serious when I say this - it is in the top 5 best purchases of my 42 years. I had lived without a dishwasher for nearly 15 years, and as an AuDHD, dishes had become household chore enemy #1. The amount of time I spent spiraling about dishes was embarrassing and exhausting. I started to research these countertop units out of desperation. After several months exploring reviews on Reddit, desertcart, and appliance forums, this Novete unit was the standout, receiving high praise nearly ever spot it was mentioned. I finally made the purchase and haven't regretted it a moment since. I had no previous experience with a countertop unit and had definitely kept expectations low, but this thing's ability to clean blew me away. It may be small, but it is MIGHTY. I have had it for just over 4 years now and the unit itself is just as great and sturdy and runs just as wonderfully as it did on day one. It is also incredibly easy to clean (both inside and out), and is very easy to use. I included a short, sped-up video of the beginning of the wash cycle. I will be buying a second one soon, not because mine is giving any indication of stopping, but because I am constantly checking desertcart to make sure they haven't discontinued it, because if I do ever need another, I will be beyond devastated if I couldn't replace with the same unit. Buy it!
Review: Sparkling clean dishes - Oh my goodness! This thing washes just as good, if not better, than a full sized dishwasher. My tableware sparkling clean. No do overs. It works exactly as stated in the instructions. Its very easy to attach the drain hose with its included hose clamp, it weighs about 28.7 lbs. I did it myself. The drain hose did indeed attach to my sink and did not fly all over when water was discharged from it. My dishes were super clean. I kept saying out loud omg...omg this is amazing. I used the pitcher included and did not hook up to the sink. I read the book first to familiarize myself with the operation. Super quiet. The only thing that I heard was the dryer fan which is something of a high-pitched whistling sound. Of course this was my 1st use. I pray it holds out. I love this thing!!! It is too large for my countertop, but I used a kitchen cart I already had. It fit my 10 1/2 inch plates slanted as they should be when loaded. The utensil basket worked fabulous for me and held quite a load of flatware. It held more than abundant flatware. I've used it now 3 times. Each time I'm amazed! The utensil basket needs to be turned right-side up (for the reviewer that stated the holes are too small to hold average sized flatware). Take the top off and you'll see areas for the flatware. The top is for small items that can be put in it and then you use the top to snap it on so small items don't come out. LOVE THIS APPLIANCE!!! I will recommend to anyone that would need this type of appliance. Thank you for offering it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the warranty?**
A: NOVETE offers a limited 45-day no questions asked refund policy and 12-month warranty, plus lifetime technical support on our dishwasher.
Hope this helps, thank you.

**Q: After the drying mode, the screen shows the number 6 and the machine continues to run even after the drying cycle completed. Is this a defect?**
A: Dear customer,
If you have chosen the DRY mode, it will provide an extra 60 minutes of hot air drying to the dishes, and in the next 3 days (72 hours), 15-minute automatic ventilation will start every 75 minutes to keep the dishes dry and prevent odors. The screen will show a lowercase "b" which means the machine is in the ventilated storage.
Hope this helps.

**Q: How much does this weigh?**
A: Hello, the dishwasher weighs 28.7 lbs.

**Q: The drying mode doesn’t really dry the dishes, what can I do to fix this?**
A: I'm not sure. The drying time doesn't really dry my dishes either. I do however, let it run through the dry time, after the wash, and then just open the door, and pull the rack out to finish drying. For me, it's not a big deal to dry them that way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good clean and Size.
*by S***Y on August 10, 2026*

So, it is a little small in the interior, but nothing that can be compensated for with clever filling. It didn't fit in the counter space by my sink but that is fine and not the company's ir designer fault. Ultimately the machine works wonderfully and for someone like me who has to wash dishes by hand usually it is a godsend. Useful for anyone with an apartment too small for a regular dishwasher.
