Counter Top RV Vesta Dishwasher Black
Pros of the Westland Countertop Dishwasher
This counter-top dishwasher costs less than the cheapest full size dishwashers on the market.
The Westland counter-top dishwasher offers almost equal capacity to the slim European style dishwashers, without putting it in a cabinet with an awkward gap around it.
And this counter-top dishwasher can be placed on any counter, island or even roll around cart.
The dishwasher can be used on a boat or RV as well as in your home.
You can use it in your cabin, mother in law suite or as a supplement to your main home dishwasher when the dishes are piling up.
It is small enough to put on a counter or place on top of a washer or dryer.
This model comes with a quick connect kit to connect it to the sink, which works with both male and female threaded faucets.
Some of its rivals force you to buy additional hardware to actually set it up.
The unit has a delay start so you can set it to run in the morning instead of waking people up while scrubbing the dishes.
It does come with a cutlery basket.
The dishwasher is energy efficient; it uses so little power that if you’re running off a generator or solar array, you can actually run other appliances in addition to the dishwasher.
It can handle soiled dishes as well as lightly soiled ones.
Cons of the Westland Countertop Dishwasher
The unit has basic functionality, such as a buzzer to let you know the load is done.
At 61 pounds, it is heavy; don’t expect to transport it often unless it is on a roll-around cart.
The only rack doesn’t hold items other than cups or plates well.
Jar lids and baby bottles will rattle around or fall through the grating.
Observations About the Westland DWV322CB Countertop Dishwasher
The Westland counter-top dishwasher uses 2.4 gallons on the water miser mode and 4.2 gallons at most.
The unit is less efficient per load of dishes than a full sized dishwasher, but it is invaluable for those who cannot hand wash dishes to arthritis in their hands or limited mobility.
Unlike many portable dishwashers, it has a basic warranty. Like many brands of portable dishwashers, finding someone to service the dishwasher short of buying a replacement is a challenge.
The manufacturer says it can hold 24 plates, but packing them in to the small space means it can’t clean them well in that configuration.
Nor does this dishwasher handle large dinner plates and platters. Your pots and pans may not fit in this dishwasher and still need to be hand washed.
There is a hose kit for this dishwasher for a permanent water supply connection and drain hose, but that is sold separately.
