Countertop Dishwasher A01 Portable 2-Level Rack - Compact High

In this review of the A01 countertop dishwasher the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, high-capacity countertop unit for small households that want near full-size cleaning without plumbing. The reviewer found the slim profile and two-level rack design make it easy to fit on a crowded counter while still holding plates up to 11.8 in when the top basket is removed. Setup is straightforward thanks to the built-in 5L water tank or optional faucet hose, and the Hygiene Cycle that heats water to 167F is the standout feature for sanitizing baby items and stubborn food residues.

Key Features

• Sleek Design: Slim profile saves countertop space while the transparent double-layer glass door and interior lighting make loading and monitoring simple.
• High Capacity: Two-level rack fits a family of 5-6 and accepts plates up to 11.8 in when the upper basket is removed for larger items.
• Versatile Programs: Nine programs and two enhanced functions let users choose Normal, Delicate, Heavy, Baby Care, Express 28 min, Auto-Clean and Fruit, plus Air Refresh and Delay Start for off-peak runs.
• Hygiene Cycle: High-temperature cleaning reaches 167F to sanitize dishes and baby bottles and helps remove tough stains.
• Flexible Setup: Use the integrated 5L water tank for placement anywhere on a counter or connect the included inlet hose to a faucet for continuous supply.

Who It's For

The A01 countertop dishwasher is best for small families, couples, or those in apartments and RVs who need a compact but capable machine that mimics many full-size dishwasher functions. Its capacity and plate clearance make it a good choice for households that occasionally need to wash larger plates and cookware.

It is less well suited for very large families who generate heavy daily loads that exceed the two-level capacity or for users who require built-in undercounter installation, since this model is explicitly portable and countertop-focused.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong cleaning performance on the Normal program with quick Express cycles for light loads.

• Intuitive LED touchscreen and interior lighting make operation and loading straightforward.

Cons

• Countertop footprint and two-level capacity still limit how many items can be washed at once compared with a full built-in dishwasher.
• Delay Start and ventilation features are useful but add complexity to programming for users who prefer very simple controls.
