Euhomy DW001-5 Countertop Dishwasher Review

Dishes come out clean and dry, and that is the theme buyers on Amazon return to most: performance and cleaning are the two most-praised subjects in their feedback, and the machine runs dual spray arms with 360° coverage across the load.

The built-in 1.32 gal (5 L) tank means no hookup is required. You fill it once per cycle, the machine signals when it is full, and the inlet hose stays optional. That is the feature that makes this machine workable in a rental where you cannot touch the plumbing.

Noise is the other strength. The published level is 40 dB, and buyers on Amazon describe an ultra-quiet, swishy watery sound, which is easy to live with in a studio or an open-plan apartment.

Capacity suits small households. The machine is rated for 30+ items, and buyers on Amazon call the capacity good for one- to two-person use, with one buyer noting it handles Tupperware-style bowls.

Drying continues after the cycle: 60 minutes of hot air, then up to 73 hours of automatic ventilation, so dishes can stay inside instead of being unloaded the moment the machine stops. The Baby Care/Heavy program reaches up to 167 °F for baby bottles and baked-on loads, and a 29-minute Fast cycle covers lightly soiled dishes. The warranty is one year, with lifetime technical support behind it.

Plate size is the limit that matters most. Plates up to 10.25 inches fit, and buyers on Amazon are divided on size and fit: some find it sits nicely on the counter, others report it does not take large dinner plates. Standard US dinner plates run 9 to 12 inches, so measure yours before ordering.

The 30+ item capacity is a piece count, not a set of place settings. The manual's own example load works out to roughly two place settings: four dinner plates, four small plates, four cups, four bowls, two glasses and cutlery. Plan for one or two people, not a family, and leave big pots, baking sheets and large pans out of the picture entirely.

Filling the tank is a manual step every cycle: about 1.32 gal (5 L), or roughly two and a half pitchers, per wash. Use powder or tablets only, since liquid detergent is not compatible and can foam.

The machine is ETL and DOE certified but not ENERGY STAR certified. The faucet fitting is G3/4 inch and the adapter is sold separately. Draining is gravity-fed into a sink or bucket through a 4.92 ft hose, so the machine needs to sit at or above sink height.

Drying is hot air, not a condensation system with an auto-opening door. There is no Wi-Fi, no app, no rinse-aid indicator and no water softener, and the 40 dB figure is published rather than independently measured.

The model is sold as DW001-5, the manufacturer part number is DW-01-NEW, and the manual and support documents call it DW-01. It is the same machine under different labels.

Depth and width come first: 16.85 inches deep and 16.73 inches wide. Check your counter run, and check that the door can swing open without hitting a wall or a cabinet.

Headroom is the second check. The manufacturer calls for more than 19 inches of vertical clearance above the counter, and the unit itself is 18.03 inches tall, so a low upper cabinet can rule it out.

Plate diameter is the third. The maximum is 10.25 inches. Measure your dinner plates; if they are 11 inches or more, this is not the machine.

Hose reach decides where it can sit. The inlet and outlet hoses are 4.92 ft each. If you plan to use the faucet, the machine must be within reach of it; if you plan to use tank mode, it must be within reach of a sink or a bucket for draining.

Faucet type settles the rest. A standard threaded faucet needs a G3/4 in adapter, sold separately.

You fill the tank once per wash, the machine signals when it is full, and it flags a water-shortage condition if you underfill it.

What it buys you is the sink. You are not monopolizing the faucet for the length of a cycle, which is the main practical advantage over faucet-hooked countertop models. The inlet hose is included if you prefer a hookup, but the adapter is not.

The dry phase roughly doubles the wall-clock time of a wash, so a normal load is about two hours door to door.

Drying runs 60 minutes of hot air, then the machine keeps ventilating for up to 73 hours.

This is hot-air drying, not a condensation system with an auto-opening door.

The 40 dB figure is published by the manufacturer, not independently measured. In practice buyers on Amazon describe an ultra-quiet, swishy watery white-noise sound, quiet enough to run in a studio apartment or an open-plan kitchen while you work or watch TV.

Buyers on Amazon most often praise overall performance and cleaning, then value for money, capacity and noise. Size and fit are where buyers are divided: some buyers find it sits nicely on the counter, others find it does not accommodate large dinner plates.

The recurring complaint is plate size, not cleaning. The star spread is heavily weighted to five stars, with a small but real tail of one-star ratings, which fits a product that delights its intended buyer and disappoints people who bought it for the wrong kitchen.

The same countertop dishwasher is also sold as the Euhomy 6 Programs countertop dishwasher Portable, 40dB, 360° Coverage (model DW-01) and as the Euhomy countertop dishwasher, 6 Programs, Dual Spray Arms for 30+ Items (model DW001-5A).

• The DW-01 comes in black or white with a stainless steel interior.
• The DW001-5A comes in white with plastic basket and rack, an LED interior light, a timer delay and a one-year warranty.

The page product has a black door. Choose the DW-01 if you want a stainless steel interior, and the DW001-5A if you want the interior light and delay timer.
