I used to have a dishwasher. It was a really nice one, but it didn’t fit under the kitchen cabinets, so I used it only when my wife was gone and I could put it on the counter without getting in the way of anything.

Then I bought a portable countertop dishwasher. It’s cheap, and it’s small enough to fit under the kitchen cabinets, so I can use it any time I’m in the kitchen.

I have no idea what the dishwasher’s name is (the nameplate says “Catch-All”) but when I look at it, its shape reminds me of my old dishwasher, which isn’t surprising since they’re both Whirlpool models. The old dishwasher had a different shape and different handle that made it more convenient to load and unload dishes. The new one’s shape is also more convenient—it looks like a big garbage can with a cutout area for dishes—but functionally it works just like my old one. If you don’t have time to clean your dishes, this is an appliance that will make your life easier by doing most of the work for you.

A portable countertop dishwasher is a dishwasher that is meant to be installed on the countertop, rather than on its own stand. The bottom half of the dishwasher is supported by the countertop and the top half swings down over it. The advantage is that you can take the top off and put it away in a closet when it isn’t in use, and you can install one at every sink in your kitchen so that you never have to leave dirty dishes behind.

There are several different kinds. Some are entirely made of stainless steel, some are mostly stainless steel with a plastic front panel, and some are entirely stainless steel.”

If you want a portable countertop dishwasher, here’s how to go about finding one.

I like to sit with a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning, and I’m always amazed at how dirty the dishes get while I’m drinking my coffee. The coffee gets cold and I drink it faster and faster; later, when I realize how dirty my dishes are, cleaning them becomes even more difficult. I used to think that the dishwasher was the solution to this problem. But when one of my friends asked me to buy him a dishwasher for his apartment, I realized that it’s not so simple.

Dishwashers are expensive, noisy machines that take up a lot of counter space. They don’t suit everyone’s lifestyle. If you have kids or pets or roommates who don’t like noise or don’t have time to clean their own dishes, then you need another option.

Nowadays there is what we call “countertop dishwashers.” They’re compact appliances that can be placed under your kitchen counter and connect to the sink faucet with a hose. They come in different sizes; some look more like regular dishwashers than others do, but they all work in much the same way: you put your dishes in them and press a button or two that causes water to flow through them while they’re being cleaned.

When it first came out, I thought the Portable Countertop Dishwasher was a great invention. I used to clean my dishes by hand. Then I read about all the other ways people were saving time and energy – like vacuuming their floors instead of dragging out the vacuum cleaner. So for a while, I didn’t think that dishwasher was so clever. But then I started remembering all those times when I had to clean up a mess from something that fell on the floor and spilled all over the place, or when I’d forgotten to put a plate away somewhere because I was too busy doing other things, or when some little kid dropped a toy on the floor and I had to pick it up because I’d forgotten to take it outside.

Then one day, my wife said she wanted to buy an Energy Star dishwasher for our kitchen. It sounded like a lot of trouble, but we decided to go for it. And then we discovered that you don’t have to run your dishwasher just before you go to sleep at night (or earlier in the morning). We don’t have kids now, so we don’t use them much anymore. But they’re great when we do need them. Our big dishwasher is actually more useful than our old countertop dish

Getting a dishwasher is one of those decisions that, however much the domestic cosmetics industry might try to hype it, boils down to utilitarianism. If you have time to clean your dishes, you should. If not, get a dishwasher.

For some reason there’s a strong cultural association between dishwashers and women. At first I wondered if it was about some kind of natural selection for housewives: the more women know about cleaning and cooking, the more attractive they are to men who want babies. But no. The association doesn’t seem to be just about kitchen knowledge: dishwashers tend to be male in every culture I’ve ever seen them in.

A countertop dishwasher, or “dishwasher-in-a-box” as they’re sometimes called, is a special kind of food processor. It’s basically a mini-refrigerator that can wash dishes, and it runs on electricity.

It’s not a new product; it’s been around for years, but the latest versions are particularly nice because they have a built-in hot water heater.

The most popular one on Amazon has 13 customer reviews. People who bought it say: “I got this to save time and space in my kitchen,” “I use this almost every day,” and “I love that I can just throw everything in one place and have it done.”

Reviewers say these things about the product: “No more scrubbing, rinsing and soaking dishes by hand,” “This was a lifesaver for my family,” and “It saves me so much time.”

The dishwasher is a wonderful invention, but it’s also an example of a technology that has achieved such success that we have taken it for granted. We take it for granted because it’s so simple. Anyone can use one without training or experience. So we never think to ask: Is the dishwasher the best way to do the job?

Most of the time, using a dishwasher is a good idea. It gets the job done faster and more reliably than washing by hand, and if you only wash a few dishes every day you don’t need to be as careful about how you wash them. It’s also easy on the environment: no water heating, no detergent, no scrubbing by hand. The one thing you can’t do with a dishwasher is get better at washing dishes.

But there are times when less is more. There are many ways to wash a few dishes: in a bowl with hot water and soap; in a sink with hot water and dishwashing soap; with cold water and soap; with cold water and baking soda or vinegar; with hot water and baking soda or vinegar; or in your bathtub. A few readers have even washed their dishes in their sinks by hand while they were cooking, or while they cooked! The
