Hi All
I am looking to buy Countertop Portable Dishwasher for my Rented Home. My owner don't want to install Dishwasher but me and my wife both works full-time and we have 18 months kid going Daycare.
I am thinking to buy Countertop Portable Dishwasher, if any one you guys used or ur friends used please provide feedback.
Thanks Sp00ker for your reply .
Even if i am ready to pay for dishwasher, my owner don't want to install.

Might be easier to wait until your lease is up and move somewhere else…
I agree, OP should take his good money elsewhere to better landlord.
Have you expressed to him that you will pay?
Maybe try highlighting that the property becomes more attractive for rental with a dishwasher.
Yes.
In the beginning when i moved i asked owner to have pura-tap.. and in was willing to pay full an leave when i finish my contract.
Still my owner don't want to install …

I would be hesitant as a landlord to install a pura-tap in a rental property (even if the tennant) was paying. It requires electric + plumbing + carpentry.
After you leave, the landlord would responsible for maintaining it (changing filters, etc). It would be remove and fill the hole in the bench top.
But I can't understand why you would say no to a dishwasher.
Maybe, but I wouldn't put pura-tap in the same category as dishwashers. I would put dishwashers in the same category as washing machines.
@sp00ker: If the kitchen wasn't built with a dishwasher in mind, it may not be a simple thing to install it. For example, in my place I'd have to forego a cabinet to fit the dishwasher in.
@sp00ker: "But I can't understand why you would say no to a dishwasher."
Landlord probably lives currently in the 1950's (or related to Hitler) and didn't get the telegram that dishwashers are good tech.

Putting a dishwasher (in new or old kitchen) always involves sacrificing cupboard space.

Another possibility is that the property was bought in a self-managed-super fund. A new dishwasher or pura-tap would be considered an improvement, which has complicated rules associated with it. Easier to just say no, than try to figure out the rules.

Maybe, but they use a lot of power & washing up is not hard & is far more frugal on the maintenance / supplies / upkeep costs. But then I'm a total tightarse that thinks dishwashers are overkill & want to be off-grid completely one day - on the cheap. So I'm disappointed no category exists for me. Have a word to management for me, will you. I propose the category of "wannabe off-grid tightarse".
Your kitchen probably doesn't have the right tap. Even if it does have the right tap, removing the dishwasher connection, so you can use the sink will quickly become painful.
I used to use one (still in the garage as a backup). It was fairly simple to attach to the tap spout — just unscrew the aerator at the end of the spout and attach the bayonet fitting. The machine has 2 hoses leading to a module that plugs onto the attachment, one for clean water in, the other for waste water out that gets pumped into the sink, similar to turning on the water at the tap. There is also a bypass button on the side that activates clean water out of the module and into the sink, in case you want a drink or need to wash something by hand. It is very easy to disconnect when not needed, very similar to a click-on garden hose. Using the tap with the adaptor spout is a little different (no aeration) but it's fine otherwise.
all junk

I did this and works fine, but I only put it on overnight with delayed start for off peak hours. Even with 3 kids, don't use it that often - only gets turned on after entertaining guests.
Thanks for Link
They work great, even better than a full size dishwasher, it saves plenty of time and dishes seem so clean when they are steaming hot. I connected it in the laundry because it had the right tap and I would carry the entire basket to and from the kitchen.
Use the tablets, they work best.
Can I ask which model are you thinking? Price?
Haven't thought of any model , just want to know is it worth spending around $500 ( Including installation) ?
Benchtop dishwasher is probably fine … should be an improvement on hand washing. The main problem will be the plumbing.
Where/How are you going to connect it? Your kitchen probably doesn't have the right tap. Even if it does have the right tap, removing the dishwasher connection, so you can use the sink will quickly become painful.
Your laundry might have the right tap - but taking dishes to the laundry might not be convenient.
Did they say why? If it's a cost issue, then you might be better off volunteering to pay some of it, since the benchtop dishwasher will cost you something as well.
