Comfee Mini Countertop Dishwasher Review

[@wendysmobilehomesweethome423]

I just got mine yesterday, and I love it! I was actually surprised at how big it is, it's very solid. I used the "normal" cycle, and my dishes came out thoroughly cleaned; I am very pleased! This is definitely money well spent! I'm so happy I chose this one.

[@ondiney]

That's awesome! Yes, I still love mine and it's coming up on a year of having it. Just pulled some dishes out this morning and everything still gets thoroughly cleaned. I hope you love yours :)

[@goldenblooms6672]

Do your dishes come out hot or just cool? Just asking cuz no matter what temperature water I put in, mine doesn’t heat the water

[@kuliksworld]

I just bought this dishwasher for my tiny kitchen based off of this real review. Thanks!

[@ondiney]

You are welcome! I hope you're enjoying it. Ours is a workhorse in our kitchen.

[@doloresleyva8810]

I have a Farberware portable dishwasher and it is fantastic. I can get a 4 place setting in it along woth at least 4 cups and 12 or so cutlery plus a couple small plastic bowls. I cut the detergent pod in half (Cascade Platinum) and dishes are clean ,smell fresh with no spots every time. Mine does not dry so i just leave the door open at the end to air dry dishes and air out the unit. It has a quick wash setting in 40 minutes and a longer 2 hour regular setting plus fruit clean and glasses only setting which are great. I have only uses the quick wash cycle and dishes are always very clean as the unit heats up very hot and the Cascade Platinum makes a big difference. 4 years and no issues. I would recommend a portable dishwasher for any household that has at least a sink full of dishes to do after each meal. Pots and pans do not fit but once i straighten up the kitchen and wash a couple pans and pots all my dishes are done.

[@doloresleyva8810]

Thr quick wash settings work faster and just the same as normal or longer settings. So you dont have to run the unit for 2 hours. Get a Tupperware that is the long tall shape (like for cereal) and you can fill the unit faster. In addition i sometines load mine again if i have lots of dishes. I can load up a full sink of dishes every time and I cut the tab in half (works fine and saves money I suggest Cascade Platinum) Once i clean up the few pots and pans after the meal and straighten up the kitchen and table and sweep up my dishes are all done.

I love mine! I wish I’d gotten one years ago. I have been thinking about it since the start of this year. Did all my research. I dithered about for like 8 months. Then a month ago I decided I was going to get one, talked myself into it then quickly talked myself out. Then one day I went to the kitchen, there was a big pile of dishes in the sink and I just said nope not doing this anymore and ordered one. Couldn’t be without it now.

[@ondiney]

I know the feeling! I wish I had gotten one a lot earlier. All that hand washing of dishes I could have skipped! I hope you love yours for a long time to come :)

[@MarilynCrosbie]

A very good review. You speak nice and clearly. Lots of detail. I bought one but am waiting to have my other dishwasher removed from my home.

[@stephanievie9064]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I hope you love it. I'm still loving that I have a little dishwasher! So convenient and I never want to go back to washing by hand.

[@patrickandrews7893]

I have a desktop dishwasher--& LOVE it!!!! I only got this a couple of months ago, and every-time I use it I wish I had gotten it YEARS ago!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@ondiney]

Same! I wish I had mine much earlier so I didn't have to wash all those dishes by hand :( I'm catching up on lost time!

[@Jesya_]

I've had mine for a little over a month... love it.

[@ondiney]

So great, right? I can't believe how I lived without it. Oh yeah, washing too many dishes by hand.

[@juliusgrover7262]

Mine just arrived today and unfortunately I didn't get any free samples.😀 Just did a few runs and it does do a good job of cleaning them. Space wise, why it's slightly too big for my counter(my shelves hang low) It fits over the sink nicely. It can hold enough dishes for two people for one meal, which considering I live alone is perfect. Thanks for the video.

[@ВиталийИгнатьев-ы6ц]

Yes it is

[@ondiney]

You're welcome! I hope it works really well for you. I'm still loving mine months and months later! I think it's the perfect size for 1-2 people that aren't making a million dirty dishes.

[@MamaBearPrepper]

This is so nice! I need to get one for my small kitchen. ❤

[@ondiney]

You should! I love mine for small spaces. It's very compact.

[@raybaker8726]

I just got mine. It works Awesome

[@ondiney]

I'm glad to hear it! I love mine still and use it every day.

[@ZeriyaGaming]

You covered everything i needed to know. Thanks! Im buying one for mp in-laws for nhe holiday.

[@ondiney]

You are welcome! I hope they love it. Mine is such a time-saver.

[@reneesongs72]

I just ordered one, very helpful review thank you!

[@ondiney]

You're welcome! I hope you love it :) I still love ours.

[@k.m.h7480]

I’ve had mine over a year and it still washes well but I now get a E4 error code and I have to tip it over and let the water drain out the bottom. Also I had to switch to cascade liquid because the tabs were giving so much soap that it started to gunk up little particles and hard water buildup I guess. But as long as you give it a good through cleaning I use vinegar it it’s a lasting purchase. My biggest shock is my light still works too lol 😂

[@ondiney]

I need to switch from tabs too! It's so hard to find just powder detergent around here. I'll have to clean it out with vinegar--thanks for the reminder. Glad you're still liking yours over a year later!

[@RayOfSunhine2012]

How often would you say it needs cleaning? Going to be buying ours soon for our rv. It's going to go in the place of where the stove is. We don't use the oven/stove bc we reserve our lpg for heating purposes only. So the stove is getting removed and sold and replaced by this lifesaver of a gadget

[@k.m.h7480]

I read that if you use it twice a day clean the filters at least once a month. I just started rinsing the dishes off because my parents dishwasher was much more high end so you don’t really have to pre rinse. This one requires a little more TLC

[@ondiney]

@@RayOfSunhine2012 I really only need to clean the inside edges every couple of weeks when gunk builds up. I think if you scrape off or rinse your plates and such pretty well before you put them in, that helps a lot. I haven't had to run a full-on cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaning product yet. I take out the filter every couple of months and rinse it off and make sure it's pretty clean. Honestly I don't have to do a lot of cleaning maintenance on it! Just mainly fats buildup on the edge of where the door hinges open on the front.

[@doloresleyva8810]

​@@ondineyjust cut one tab in half with scissors that's all you need believe me it will work perfect. I use Cascade Platinum pods.

[@TheGreatGamester]

Amazing video. Thank you for the great walk through.

[@ondiney]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@strykertool]

I hate washing dishes. I tend to have alot of dishes pile up after cooking. Yet I am just one person😂. I would love one of these

[@ondiney]

I think it would probably be great for you! It really helps me avoid the dishes piling up syndrome. There's only two in my house and we don't make a ton of dishes, but it's still so worth it!

[@miked412]

I thought the Comfee came with the easy fill trough? Most reviews show the accessory (domestic & foreign).

[@ondiney]

Hi! I'm not sure if that's maybe a new accessory that mine did not come with. Do you have a pic of it or what it looks like?

[@miked412]

@@ondiney I do not, I have been watching various review videos and that's how I noticed it. Yours definitely looks like a different model and looks very similar to the Farberware countertop dishwasher. Example video (about 2:20): kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppqTdJWJn7x7mc0&ab_channel=HaiandTerrie

[@ondiney]

@@miked412 Thank you for linking that! Yes, mine did not come with that but it looks handy. I always have to angle my arm to make sure I don't spill water as I'm filling it up (I use the sink sprayer at this point) and I can see how the trough would help with avoiding spillage. Nice to know that they're making little updates like this that make things better!

[@joannajackson9520]

Are you still happy with the performance now that you’ve had it a few months? Have you had any leaking issues or problems with the dish rack rusting

[@ondiney]

Yes! I've had it almost 10 months now and still very happy with how it works. It's a good time-saver for me. No leaking and no rusting. I probably use it 2-4 times per day and it's working great for me still.

[@shelbyelliott3148]

Hello, instructions mention an emptying bucket? Do I need to hook a hose up to drain or just plug in and fill with water? My cabinets hang too low so can’t put next to my sink like originally planned. I have to set it on its own table, so I definitely do not want a flood in my kitchen, please help! Also thank you for the video, very informational!

[@ondiney]

Hi! You just have to figure out where you want the waste water (water left after cleaning your dishes) to go. If you can't put the hose into the sink, you would want a bucket for it to drain into and then you'd have to empty that bucket regularly. I just have mine sitting next to my sink so it can drain into the sink, but sounds like that might not work with your setup, so you might need to place the hose into a bucket. (It's not a ton of water but it will make a mess if you don't divert it somewhere!) You don't need to hook a hose up to fill it, but do need to hook a hose up to drain it. You can fill it with water by just filling up a container of water and pouring it into the water inlet near the back top of the dishwasher. I hope this all makes sense--once you get it set up and run it once or twice, I think you'll see what I'm talking about. It's such a great little device--I hope you love it!

[@shelbyelliott3148]

Ok got it! Thank you so much! Could you do a video on how to properly drain it after the cycle is completed? If not all good I appreciate the feedback!

[@ondiney]

@@shelbyelliott3148 Happy New Year! I can't really because mine is set up to drain into the sink, so all you would see is water come out the hose, haha :) Wouldn't be much use to you I think! Should be pretty easy to set it up though if you use the directions, and then draining happens automatically (the dishwasher does it when it reaches that part of the cycle) so you just need to empty your bucket is all. On mine, I don't empty a bucket because it empties into the sink. On yours, you'll put the hose in the bucket and then just toss the contents of the bucket.

[@shelbyelliott3148]

Ok thanks so much! I appreciate it! Happy New Year! Will do!

[@ExploringwithJaye]

Love mine, but just use your sink sprayer to fill it. Geez, so much faster and easier

[@ondiney]

I eventually moved mine closer to the sink so I could do that. Thanks for your thoughts.

[@Adeline9418]

Excellent idea!!!

[@tkaishmael]

What was the problem when you hit start the first time & the 2:10 changed to lines? I wished you had said in the video. I’m having that problem now & can’t figure out what’s the issues

[@ondiney]

I went back to rewatch since that was over a year ago haha :) I think I held it down too long (the start button). To start it you just need to select your cleaning cycle type (I always do normal and it works great for me) and just press start but don't hold it down forever. Pick your cleaning cycle, press start, voila.

[@tkaishmael]

@@ondiney oh ok. Thank you! I was holding it down. I’ll try again 2mrw. Thx again

[@lifeWithAarynLynn]

I live in a late 1950s house and I’m renting so I’m not trying to put a dishwasher in an account on top dishwasher is what I’ve been looking at my question for you is this do you put in cold water and it heats it up as it goes through at cycle or do you put in steaming hot water?

[@ondiney]

Hi! You can put in cold water and it heats it up for you. It heats up pretty well and gets our dishes nice and clean. So no worries about adding cold water as it will do it all for you.

[@marilynmulkey6095]

The instruction manual doesn't mention adding a rinsing aid. When and how do you add it?

[@ondiney]

Hi! You can add at the beginning in the little cup where you'd add your detergent (mix them together). But I actually don't use it at all and my dishes and glasses still come out good. I hope that helps!

[@yljinn]

I’m having issues with it starting and stopping and I have not the slightest idea why but it does it just like yours did in the test any idea what’s happening?

[@ondiney]

Oh no! That's no good. I don't know why it would be doing that. I would contact their customer support. They are really helpful! Looks like their contact info is at shop.feelcomfee.com/pages/contact-us.

[@ebonymitchell2420]

Does the finish pack just fall into the bottom of the dishwasher or does it stay put?

[@ondiney]

It falls into the bottom of the dishwasher. Honestly sometimes I just throw it in the bottom part and don't worry about putting it in the little cup area :) If I use powder detergent I use the cup to help me measure.

[@Christophthegeek]

Does it use all the water for each wash?

[@ondiney]

It does! There's nothing to drain afterwards--it flushes the used water into the sink, if you're using that, or into a bucket if you've chosen to use a bucket instead. So by the time the cleaning cycle is done, all the water you put in has drained away.

[@montavis2]

just tested mine out they dont really come out dry. i thought it was suppossed to have heat dry function.

[@ondiney]

It does have a heated dry function. You might have to check that yours is working. Alternatively, you might have to dial back your expectations for heated dry. Even in a large/full-size washer with heated dry, some things will still come out wet. I find anything plastic is the worst for still being somewhat wet after washing, and ceramic and porcelain dry off the best.

[@viloelisabethwestwood6858]

How high is the unit? I'm getting conflicting answers on Amazon. Also, how long does the shorter cycle last? And does it do a heat drying at the end of the cycle?

[@ondiney]

It is about 18 inches high for me measuring with a tape measure. The short cycle is about 45 minutes but I find it doesn't clean everything off well enough, and there's no heated dry at the end of that cycle. So I just use the longer cycle that has a heated dry and that works perfectly for me.

[@bigsoggy9812]

Is t cold or hot water fill

[@ondiney]

Cold, and the dishwasher heats it up for you.

[@AABB-ez3ny]

Been doing dishes every week for almost a year and I've had it lmao. xD

You need a mini dishwasher! That's exactly where I was before I got this guy. Fed up :)

[@Jade7159-]

Where do you put that rinse aid even though it says you don’t need it but it was included

[@ondiney]

I actually don't use rinse aid. I would imagine you can put it in the small cup where dish detergent goes. I don't find I need it.

[@Jade7159-]

@@ondiney Okay. Thank you.

[@barbaveni724]

hi!! i just got mine! how did you install the drain pipe on the back? do you need a screwdriver?

[@ondiney]

Awesome! I hope you will love it :) Yes, you'll need a screwdriver to install the drain on the back, but it's pretty easy as I remember. If you have the installation/instruction booklet, there's a little picture that shows where to install it and how to screw it on. Good luck!

[@barbaveni724]

@@ondiney thanks so much!! (:

[@HoppinFreshnizzles]

Did you ever have an E4 error? If so what did you do about it? Thanks for this review!

[@ondiney]

Oh no! That's no good. I have not had that error, but my instruction manual says E4 is "overflow" and "some element of the dishwasher leaks." So I would check the water input if you have it hooked up to your sink. I fill mine up manually which may be why I've never gotten that error before. Good luck!

[@ondiney]

I finally got an E4 error yesterday! Following instructions online, I checked the filters, removed the outline line and checked it, and let the bottom portion dry out. Water got into the bottom when I overfilled the dishwasher. After it dried out it was back to working order.

[@fatihcan5048]

are you still using bec i love it

[@ondiney]

I am! It's been almost a year and I'm still so glad I bought it. I use it daily and it's so much better than washing dishes by hand. I've only had one E4 error since I got it, and that was my fault for over-filling it. Other than that, it's trucking along great! Glad you love yours too.

Did u do pots

[@ondiney]

Do I wash my pots in the dishwasher? Yes, sometimes, but it's pretty small so it's only going to fit the really little pots. Most of mine I have to wash by hand because they don't fit in it. But there's no reason you can't wash pots in there if they fit.

[@tulipsun2026]

Thanks for the video. How many inches can the plates be?

[@ondiney]

I find mine fits 9 inch dishes well and over that, you have to lean them on an angle and they start taking up too much room.

[@aurakh2444]

Do you wash pots and pans by hands?

[@ondiney]

Hi! Yes, we have a few pots and lids that fit in there, but for the really large ones like my wok I do wash by hand because either it wouldn't fit or would be the only item in the dishwasher!

[@williehinds7513]

How do you empty the water?

[@ondiney]

There is an outlet tube, a plastic tube, that connects to the back of the dishwasher that you can just point toward your sink and the water will drain down the sink. It's not a ton of water. I keep mine just always in a corner of my sink and any time I run the dishwasher, when it's ready to drain the water, it just dispenses the water down the drain. Very convenient!
