The dimensions of a desktop dishwasher are always small - they do not exceed 55 cm in length and width, and the depth is also about 50-55 cm. This allows not only to put the unit on the table, but also to build it into a small cabinet under the worktop. The main advantages and best models of this type are described in this article.

Dimensions and capacity
Tabletop dishwashers have a minimal footprint, so they can be placed on a table or built into a small cabinet, as shown in the diagram. The main parameters of most models are as follows:
- length 50-55 cm;
- height 43-55 cm;
- width (depth) 50-55 cm.
Despite such a modest size of a desktop dishwasher, it performs all the basic functions, that is pre-soak, direct wash and dry (specific options depend on models).
The capacity of even a small device is from 2 to 6 sets of dishes. Moreover, each such set includes several items:
- 2 flat plates;
- spoon;
- fork;
- coffee cup with a small saucer.
Theoretically, you can put even more items, but you should not do this, because the device will not be able to clean them thoroughly enough. If you need a large capacity, for example, 10 sets, you should consider purchasing a narrow dishwasher, which does not take up as much space as compared to full-size models.
