A portable dishwasher makes sense when your kitchen has limited space or no built in dishwasher. The Faberware Fdw05asbwha dishwasher is a countertop model that fits most small kitchens. You connect it to your sink faucet and it cleans dishes without taking floor space.
Design and Setup
The Faberware dishwasher has a compact footprint. It fits on most kitchen counters. You need a faucet adapter to use it. Most kitchens already have compatible faucets. Setup takes a few minutes. The unit includes the connection hose and basic instructions.
You load it like a regular dishwasher. The interior holds plates bowls cups and small pots. It may struggle with large baking sheets but handles daily dish loads well for one to three people.
Cleaning Performance
This model uses jets to spray water and detergent around your dishes. It has cycles for normal heavy and economy cleaning. Heavy cycle adds time but tackles stuck on food better.
Many users find that it matches hand washing quality for dishes, glasses and pots. It uses less water than hand washing after a meal. This matters if you pay for water.
Noise and Efficiency
The Faberware dishwasher runs at moderate noise levels. It is louder than a built in model but acceptable in most small apartments. It works best when you start a cycle after you finish cooking so it does not compete with conversation or television.
Water use for a full cycle is lower than hand washing a similar load. This reduces your utility costs over time.
Practical Tips for Use
Before you load dishes scrape food scraps into the trash. Large chunks can reduce spray effectiveness. Place glasses upside down so water drains away. Pots face down and bowls tilt toward spray jets.
Use dishwasher detergent tablets for simpler dosing. Measure rinse aid based on water hardness. Hard water may leave spots if you skip rinse aid.
Maintenance and Care
Clean the filter after every few cycles. This keeps spray pressure consistent. Wipe the door gasket to prevent buildup. Check the hose connections occasionally for leaks.
If you do not use the dishwasher daily drain the water after the last cycle. Standing water can cause odors over time.
Who This Dishwasher Fits
The Faberware dishwasher fits kitchens with little storage or no built in unit. If you live in a small apartment or rent this model saves time and water. It handles daily dish loads well for one or two adults. Families with more dishes may need a larger dishwasher.
The compact size makes it easy to move or store when not in use. You do not need special installation or plumbing changes. This keeps your kitchen flexible.
