Comfee' CDC17P0AWB Countertop Dishwasher Review

Every day, loads come out clean. Two 360° spray arms and a high-temp wash do the work: the Normal cycle runs a 136°F wash and a 158°F rinse, and the Hygiene cycle goes to a 158°F wash and a 162°F rinse, hot enough for greasy plates, mugs and cutlery.

No hookup is needed. The built-in 1.32-gal tank means the machine runs anywhere with a power outlet, and the included quick-connect inlet hose with adapter lets you plumb it to a faucet instead when one is available. That is what makes it work in an RV, a dorm, an apartment or a rental.

It is genuinely compact at 16.53 inches wide, 17.13 inches deep and 17.24 inches high, about 36.6 lb, so it sits on a counter and can be moved. The Rapid cycle finishes in about 40 minutes when you need dishes back fast, and the 62 dB rating is quiet enough for an open kitchen.

Day to day it is easy to live with: a touch panel, a see-through window, an adjustable rack, an Air Refresh function for freshness between washes, and a pitcher included for filling the tank.

For a small household with no plumbing and no room for a full-size machine, those features add up to a dishwasher that actually gets used.

Capacity is small. The machine holds 30+ items with a 9.5-inch maximum plate size. Dinner plates at 10 inches or more will not load flat, and large pots, pans, baking sheets and tall stockpots are out. This is a one-to-two-person machine, and the limit matters most to anyone who cooks large meals.

Drying is air-dry, not heated dry. The Air Refresh function only moves air, so plastics and tightly packed loads can come out wet. Leaving the door ajar after the cycle helps.

There is no rinse-aid dispenser, so the machine is designed for detergent only.

It is not a plumbed-in appliance. You fill the tank by pitcher or connect to a faucet each time, and the drain hose runs to the sink. Pull-down and spray faucets without a threaded aerator can be a problem for the faucet-hookup route.

It needs a free counter spot and roughly 19.6 inches of clearance between counter and upper cabinets to slide under. Noise is moderate, not silent: 62 dB.

Buyer sentiment is split on size and fit. Amazon's summary of its customer reviews notes that some buyers find it more compact than expected and that customers disagree on whether larger dishes fit, which lines up with the 9.5-inch plate limit. Opinions on value are divided too. The manufacturer warranty runs one year, worth knowing before you commit.

The cycle buttons name five of the seven programs.

Read the figures with your kitchen in mind. The 16.53-inch width and 17.24-inch height are the counter space the machine takes up. The 1.32-gal tank sets how much water each fill carries, and the 59-inch hose decides how far the machine can sit from the faucet. The 120 V plug means a standard outlet, and the 36.6 lb weight is what has to be lifted onto the counter.

The CDC17P0ABB is the same machine in black rather than white, with the same 1.32-gal built-in tank, the same 17.13 by 16.53 by 17.24 inch footprint and the same 59-inch hose. Its program count and feature wording differ from the CDC17P0AWB, so check the model number before you order. Choose the white CDC17P0AWB if the finish needs to match a white kitchen, and the black CDC17P0ABB if it does not.

Buyers on Amazon most often praise how the machine performs, with cleaning and capacity drawing the most positive mentions. They also like how easy it is to set up the drain hose and how it fits into a daily routine, and they speak well of how quietly it runs.

Size is where opinions divide. Some buyers find it compact in a good way, others say it is smaller than expected, and customers disagree on whether larger dishes fit, which matches the 9.5-inch plate limit. Value for money is also split between those who see a worthwhile investment and those who find it overpriced. A large majority of ratings are four or five stars.
