10 Coming in at number 10 in our list is an offering from a well established manufacturer, Honeywell. Taking a more conventional route in this appliance sector. Honeywell HCTDS1W
Why do we think this countertop dishwasher is worthy of your consideration? Well this is a much more traditional appliance, its basically a shrunk down version of its full sized dishwasher brethren. This has its own drawbacks as well as advantages. This is more suited to permanent use in a traditional kitchen where it can have a water hook-up making it a favourite with renters. The platform is tried and tested so the washing results are what you would expect from a full size machine. This might not be the best option for those looking to use in an RV or motorhome. Here is a breakdown of the key statistics for this machine.

With over a thousand glowing reviews this little unit might be the dorm room favourite. Airmsen SE-TDQR10
As we have already addressed, this is a lesser known brand but it offers very good value, it ticks the boxes for most use cases as it can be filled with water for a wash without the need for a water hook-up.

7 Another all rounder at number 7, with good reviews and a feature packed specification. The Hermitlux HMX-TDJ03
Okay, the name Hermitlux can evoke images of a vagabond who has a penchant for the finer things in life, but we wont hold that against them.

The eagle eyed among you will have spotted that this is very similar to the Airmsen. The Novete version seems to have better support and reviews other than that it has almost identical specifications. Its often the case that a few clone products reach the amazon market place and the only deciding factor is customer care and after sales support, and of course the price. Pro tip for amazon purchases, place the items you are interested in buying into your shopping cart, amazon will notify you when the price of items in your cart change meaning you get them at the best possible price.
