Klarstein Mini Dishwasher, 2 Place Setting, Quiet Operation w/ 7 Washing Programs, Portable & Easy To Install [Energy Class G]

Great little machine, perfect for a small family. It does take up quite some room, but to not have dishes stacking up has made all the difference so it’s worth it if you have space. We just put the hose in the back and into the sink during a cycle (manually filling up with water through a hole in the top), but it can be plumbed in and could also fit in a large cupboard if needed. It’s so simple to use, it tells you when it needs filling and when the salt is low. It only requires half a dishwater tablet as well. There is a bizarre fruit washing cycle and basket that comes with it which will never get used, but some folk might like it. Just be wary you can only fit two full size dinner plates in there (on the slant, at either end) - they probably aren’t meant to go in there, but as long as you make sure the arm can rotate, it’s fine. It’s also satisfying to watch. I don’t care if that makes me sad!

Well it's a great device though the manual is pointless and you need a lot of guess work to use it. There is no explanation of what the lights mean so when it won't start and a light is flashing you will need to work it out by yourself.Then how is the quick setting described as suitable for large fruit. Then the fruit setting as for washing baby bottles.Considering the cost of this item you would expect to get reasonable instruction for its use. It's insane. I'm still working out how to change the programme as despite pages of instructions......yep you guessed itThen it works for 6 months and floods. I mean it floods.....5 litres of water goes a long way when it's in your drawers, floors and cupboards.6 months for £350 yeah just don't bother.My mate bought one 2 days ago...hers flooded FIRST USE.

This machine is perfect size, it sits on the counter top next to the sink, as you need to be near the sink for the waste pipe, it's easy to fill make sure you use a large light jug I've shown a photo of the one I use and the filling intake on the top, with a large jug like mine it takes 3 and a half to fill, make sure you listen for the rapid pips so as not to over fill, there are 4 programmes but I use no.3 it only takes 28 minutes if you put the dry function on it takes an extra minute and washes great, it is really quiet surprising so, it is ideal for one or two people, you can only fit a small saucepan in due to the length of the handle, I'm thinking of buying pans with detachable handles but that could be a bit extreme, cutlery and cups come out the cleanest I've ever seen, no more bleaching cups! I haven't tried glasses yet as we tend to drink cans but my daughter has one and she says hers are fantastic it has a separate function for them a baby bottle rack and comes with a fruit basket and a proper function for that too! even has a steam cleaning function, I'm in my sixties and I have no problem using it at all, I would recommend this to anyone especially if you have arthritis and fybro myalgia means I'm not stood too long, which is great for my condition, I love mine, I've only had mine a few months so I need to try all the other functions.

I've been using this awesome little machine for over a year and it is amazing!! It has 29 min wash that cleans thing back to looking brand new! It doesn't need plumbing in (can if you want to) I just use a handheld watering can with a long spout so I can reach the inlet opening on top of machine as i have narrow area over it. I recommend using fairy platinum or platinum plus (powder & liquid capsule), just place it in bottom. I did use just powder to start with but that made cutlery and plates have a dull chalky film. It comes from Germany to UK, the delivery courier will email or text to confirm delivery date, so don’t fret about that! Definitely worth getting one, cos you can stack quite a bit in and it cleans perfect every time. I got a separate bigger cutlery basket for it off amazon for £2 as slim flat one was too fiddly and couldn’t get much on it. It’s definitely worth price! Don't worry if you ever get an error message, it's not serious and machine is not broken! It just sensitive to water being under machine or if water tank is slightly overfilled. Simple quick remedy for E4 is tilt machine from side to side and let it drain water out, ensure area underneath the machine is dry, you might need to try a wash a couple of times for error to leave it till next day and try again and it'll be back up and running! If get E1 i use a descaler with the water (I recommend adding HG Quick Descaler 500ml to the water when filling up for empty maintenance wash every 2 or 3 months) and add your salt at same interval of about 130g. You'll know if you need to descale of the inlet water trickles in (tiny hole on the left inside of machine) as it should pour in like a little but strong spout as it fills up the front base of the machine with water. Check and clean filter regularly too. Simply turn knob to left to unlock and lift out metal mesh and filter. Scrub with water under the tab. Hope all that helps :)

As I live in a rental flat it wasn't possible to install a full size dishwasher or to change the plumbing. The Klarstein Mini is well made and does a better job of washing and drying the dishes than my last full size machine. Filling with water via the top filler cap is no problem as it's not under a cupboard and draining via the hose into the sink works fine. However, it is tiny with a capacity of around a quarter of a full size machine, so loading for a single daily wash of breakfast, lunch and dinner pots and cutlery for 1 person is a challenge, even after buying smaller dinner plates.
