Hermitlux Table Top Dishwasher 7+3 Programmes, 5 Place Settings, Child Lock
Product description
What it is
The Hermitlux Table Top Dishwasher is a compact countertop model designed for small homes or flats. It offers 7+3 washing programmes and the capacity for around 5 place settings, with flexibility for different dishware sizes. Its footprint and feature set are aimed at everyday, practical dishwashing without the need for a full-size machine.
What to know
On paper, this unit combines a built-in water tank option (5L) with a tap-connect mode, giving you choice in how you feed the machine. It includes a child lock for safety and a drying function that can run independently or with other wash programmes. The energy efficiency is described as Class-D, with claimed energy savings over a lower tier, and it operates with a level of quietness that suits living spaces. The machine supports several specialised programmes, including Standard, Quick, Eco, Fruit, Glass washing and Self-cleaning, plus a dedicated drying cycle.
How it works in practice
If you prioritise scheduling flexibility, the 1–18 hour delay feature lets you stagger wash times to align with off-peak electricity or your routine. With two spray arms delivering 360° coverage, the design aims to keep tableware and glassware clean without pre-soaking. The 72-hour automatic ventilation after drying helps control odours, which matters for compact kitchens.
What stands out
- 360° coverage cleaning from two spray arms and 14 water spray holes per arm.
- 7 wash programmes plus 3 extra functions (Time, Delay, and Child lock), plus a dedicated fruit wash and a self-cleaning cycle.
- Flexible water supply: built-in 5L tank or direct tap connection.
- Drying option with hot air for about 60 minutes and longer ventilation to minimise smells.
- Compact dimensions that fit on a counter or similar space while handling typical tableware needs.
What may give you pause
The stated capacity is 5 place settings, which may feel limiting if you entertain or regularly wash larger dinners. The energy class is noted as Class-D, depending on your expectations for energy use, this could be a factor if you run frequent cycles. As with many compact units, performance can depend on how you load the racks and water hardness in your area. If your kitchen has hard water, you may notice more mineral deposits over time unless you use appropriate descalers.
Who it’s for
This is well suited for singles, couples or small households with modest dish loads and limited space. It’s practical for renters or kitchens where a full-size dishwasher isn’t feasible. It may be a convenient upgrade for someone who needs occasional extra capacity without committing to a built-in or freestanding dishwasher.
Who it isn’t for
If you regularly run large dish loads or need to wash bulky pans and large casserole dishes, this compact model could feel cramped. If you prioritise top-tier energy efficiency or ultra-silent operation, you might find other options match those goals more closely.
When it makes sense to buy
Consider this countertop model if you want a flexible, space-saving washing solution with multiple programmes and drying capability, especially when you have the option to delay starts and to run a quick or glass-focused cycle without occupying a full-size machine.
Before you buy
Check that you have a suitable counter surface and access to a water supply (either via a built-in tank or a tap). Consider your typical dish sizes to ensure they fit within the 25 cm maximum dish diameter. Also, think about where odours would matter and how the 72-hour ventilation might help in your kitchen.
Practical use example
Imagine after dinner you have a mix of glassware, cutlery, and a few small plates. You select the Glass or Standard programme, enable the 60-minute drying, and if you’re heading out, you set a 4-hour delay. When you return, the tableware is clean, dry, and ready to put away, with minimal lingering smells thanks to the ongoing ventilation.
FAQ (based on available data)
- How much space does it take? It’s a table-top model with compact dimensions unaffiliated to a full kitchen appliance foot-print.
- Can I use a regular kitchen tap? Yes, there is a tap-connect option in addition to the built-in 5L water tank.
- What about energy use? The unit is described as Class-D, suggesting it is more energy-efficient than some lower tiers but not at the very top of energy efficiency.
Decision section
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you need a compact, flexible dishwasher with multiple programmes for a small home and you’re comfortable with a modest load capacity. It can be a sensible choice for space-constrained kitchens, especially where you value a choice between tank and tap water supply, a drying function, and child safety features. It may not be the best fit if you routinely wash large volumes or require the highest energy efficiency available.
