FOHERE TDQR01A Countertop Dishwasher with 5L Tank and Delay Start

A built-in 5L water tank lets the FOHERE TDQR01A run without a permanent water connection, which can help in kitchens where installation is not practical. It also supports a faucet connection with the included hose and adapters. The compact design measures 15.5"D x 16.2"W x 17.8"H. Six wash settings include five named programs for different needs.

Usage tips

Choose the cycle around the load: Normal for everyday dishes, Speed for a 29-minute wash, and ECO for an energy-conscious option. Baby Care uses a 167°F wash for bottles, while Fruit rinses produce without detergent. The product information allows pods, powder, or liquid detergent, except during the Fruit cycle. A delay start can be set from 1 to 6 hours, so a cycle can begin later rather than immediately.

For water supply, use the built-in tank for portable operation or connect the dishwasher to a faucet with the included hose and adapters. Its stated capacity is four place settings, including 12-inch plates when angled, five bowls, four cups, and seven utensils. That gives a useful reference for planning a typical load, though it is worth keeping the mixed buyer feedback about size in mind: some find it suitable for countertop use, while others say it holds less than the pictures suggest.

Benefits

The 360° dual spray arms use 14 high-pressure jets, and the program selection covers everyday dishes, a shorter wash, bottles, and produce. After washing, the unit provides 60 minutes of PTC hot-air drying and a 72-hour auto-ventilation system. An LED display and touch controls support cycle selection, while the transparent door lets you see inside during operation. The removable filter and quick-clean tank are intended to make routine maintenance more manageable.

Buyers speak positively about cleaning performance, while comments on the countertop size are more divided. That distinction matters: the TDQR01A offers a portable alternative to a full-size installed dishwasher, but its stated four-setting capacity is better suited to smaller loads than to a household that regularly needs to wash many dishes at once.

Key takeaways

This is a countertop dishwasher with a choice between a 5L built-in tank and faucet-fed operation. It has six settings, including five identified programs, plus delayed start, drying, and ventilation functions. The body combines polypropylene and stainless steel, and the included component listed is a cutlery basket. Its dimensions make it easier to plan for a limited counter area, but the stated place-setting capacity remains the more useful guide to whether it can handle your usual dishes.

Questions before you buy

Can it work without a direct water connection? Yes. The built-in tank supports portable use, a faucet connection is the alternative, using the included hose and adapters.

Does it have a cycle for produce? Yes. The Fruit cycle is described as a gentle rinse without detergent. The other named programs are Normal, Speed, ECO, and Baby Care.

Does it dry dishes after washing? The product information lists 60 minutes of PTC hot-air drying and a 72-hour auto-ventilation feature. These functions are separate from the wash program itself.

When it makes sense

It’s a great fit if you want a countertop appliance for smaller dish loads and value the option to operate from a built-in tank rather than rely on permanent installation. It may not suit you if your regular loads exceed the stated four place settings or you need the capacity of a full-size dishwasher. For renters, compact kitchens, or temporary living setups, the choice of water supply is a practical differentiator, for larger households, capacity should take priority over the extra cycle features.
