There are so many useful household appliances on the market, but very often there is not enough space in apartments even for the main units. So what should you do if you want to get rid of routine tasks, which include washing dishes, but the area severely limits your desires? In this case, the best compact dishwashers that we have selected for our small ranking will help. They should be chosen by bachelors who almost never wash many sets of dishes. But keep in mind that the cost of such models is comparable to alternatives with a width of 45 cm, which means that it is not advisable to buy them for the sake of economy.
TOP 5 best compact dishwashers
Compact dishwashers are not as popular as narrow or full-size dishwashers, so the choice of decent options is very limited. Considering that some good devices are only available in a limited number of stores, this further narrows the search range. As a result, we managed to select five excellent options that not only attracted our editorial staff, but were also highly appreciated by real customers. Immediately, we note that all dishwashers in this review can hold 6 sets of dishes at a time. This means that they can even arrange a family of 2 with a small child.
1. Weissgauff TDW 4006
An inexpensive and good machine from Weissgauff starts the TOP of the best compact dishwashers. The TDW 4006 was recently introduced, so the manufacturer was able to achieve almost the best value for money on the market. At the same time, an inexpensive dishwasher is made from premium materials, which makes it even more similar to expensive competitors.
There is an instantaneous water heater, a glass holder, and indicators that indicate the need to add salt / rinse aid. The device is completely protected from leaks, and you can bring water to it with a temperature not exceeding 60 degrees. TDW 4006 offers 6 programs to choose from and, judging by customer reviews about the dishwasher, each of them does its job well.
Advantages:
- efficient condensation drying;
- well assembled and conveniently operated;
- offers enough washing programs;
- consumes only 610 Wh of energy per cycle;
- the housing is completely leak-proof.
Disadvantages:

2. Midea MCFD-55320S
A good built-in dishwasher from a Chinese brand that has proven itself in the domestic market. Model MCFD-55320S has a nice appearance, easy operation and low noise level of 49 dB. For the usual washing mode, the compact device consumes 9.5 liters of water. In total, 6 modes are available here, including express, which copes with the task in half an hour (versus 2 hours in the standard program), “delicate” (for fragile dishes) and intensive (for heavily soiled dishes).
For convenience, Midea decided to specify recommendations for loading various types of dishes into the chamber directly in the instructions.
The dimensions of this dishwasher for a small kitchen are 55 cm in width, and 50 and 43.8 cm in depth and height, respectively. The unit weighs 22 kg, and its silver body (also available in white) is completely made of metal. The dishwasher also has the ability to adjust the water hardness and timer.
Advantages:
- excellent build quality;
- dishwashing efficiency;
- good quality materials;
- itself turns off upon completion of work;

- there is no protection from children.
3. MAUNFELD MLP-06IM
Can't decide which company to buy your built-in dishwasher? We have two great options. The first, presented by a solution from Midea, was selected by our editors. The second, which will be discussed below, is more often chosen by consumers. What interested us in the MLP-06IM model? Mainly the duration of the guarantee. The user can request free of charge replacement of the machine or repair of any broken part within 3 years after purchase. Also, choosing a good compact dishwasher follows the economy: 6.5 liters of water (standard mode) for the whole wash and 0.61 kWh of energy per cycle. The maximum power that a dishwasher can consume is limited to 1280 W (A + class).
Advantages:
- holds a lot of dishes;
- a delay timer for from 1 hour to a day;
- you can choose a fast program;
- notifies when to add salt;
- economically consumes electricity;
- water hardness can be adjusted.
Disadvantages:
- the housing is only partially protected from leaks.
4. Flavia CI 55 Havana P5
Before choosing the next model, we read user reviews of dishwashers. The opinion on the Flavia CI 55 Havana P5 was overwhelmingly positive. Buyers love the convenient electronic controls, moderate noise levels of 49dB, display, and great build.
Functionally, this unit is not too different from stand-alone competitors in the rating of compact dishwashers. Here you can set a delayed start within 24 hours, as well as select one of 6 work programs. Exactly the same number of temperature modes are available in the CI 55 Havana P5.
The dimensions of the device are similar to their counterparts: width, height and depth are 55 cm, 45.2 cm and 51.8 cm, respectively. Are there any downsides? Perhaps only the cost. With a price tag of about 280 $ it is definitely impossible to call the Flavia a budget dishwasher. But you always have to pay more for superior quality and embeddability.
Advantages:
- low power consumption of 1280 W;
- you can postpone the start of the program for 24 hours;
- excellent functionality;
- all-in-one tools are supported;
- 6 programs and modes of temperature;
- ease of integration and reliability.
Disadvantages:
- inflated price tag;
- there is no complete protection against leaks.
5. Korting KDF 2050 S
The best compact freestanding dishwasher in the ranking comes from the Korting brand. The German manufacturer offers premium assembly, class A + energy savings (up to 610 Wh per cycle) and almost silent operation (no louder than 49 dB). The KDF 2050 S dishwasher has a flexible start delay timer (from 1 to 24 hours), full protection against leaks and support for 3 in 1 products.
If your kitchen is dominated by white colors and you want to find a suitable car for the interior, then choose the model with the letter "W" at the end. It indicates white body color, while "S" - silver.
An excellent dishwasher for the price and quality, it offers 7 programs and 5 temperature settings. Drying here is condensation, and, like washing, it corresponds to class A. One of the distinctive features of the machine is the self-cleaning function. It is very convenient to operate the Korting KDF 2050 S, because it contains a minimum of buttons, and all of them, together with indicators, are located on a black glossy panel on top of the case.
Advantages:
- display showing time;
- convenient management organization;
- many automatic programs;
- several temperature modes;
- self-cleaning of the machine.
If you are looking for a fully embedded model, then devices from MAUNFELD or Flavia are ideal solutions. They are similar both functionally and in cost, so when choosing, you should first of all rely on design. The remaining three devices in the ranking are the best compact dishwashers that are installed separately.They cost less, and in the case of Weissgauff, even less than 13 thousand, which makes the model of this brand one of the five most affordable cars on the Russian market. If you have a bigger budget, then the German brand Korting is also an excellent choice.
