The media could not be loaded.
Without room in the budget for major kitchen renovation, what could I do? I knew there were portable dishwashers, but they were so big, ugly, and always required some type of water hookup.
Then, I found out that mini, self-contained machines were being made that were basically plug and play, compact and CUTE!
I found the Comfee mini plus and it checked all the boxes and the price was almost half of others I’d seen.
Upon arrival, I set this machine up on my counter, next to my sink, attached the drain hose and plugged it in, and within minutes it was filled with hot tap water (using the included pitcher and filling guard) and soaping up the dishes!!
It’s been life changing, and I’m not exaggerating much. Facing Monday morning without a sink full of dirty dishes has been positively freeing!
I have now done well over 100 loads and it’s as effective, quiet and wonderful as it was for that first load! I had planned to hook up the hose to fill from the faucet, but I still haven’t done that because it’s so easy to just use the pitcher. Four pitcher fills and the beep tells me it’s ready to go.
I’ve used various detergent pods but I do find that the recommended Finish Quantum pods do the best job.
I’ve never had any residue problems at all. There appear to be two rinse cycles on the normal cycle, and everything is sparkling!
I have used Finish machine cleaning pods and they have kept the interior itself clean and buildup free.
It’s also very easy to remove and clean the catch filter, which I do periodically.
This is a sturdy, heavy machine and I think it will continue to hold up well.
I also feel good about the fact that I’m using far less water.
Does it dry the dishes bone-dry? Not completely, but they’re dry enough. I’d rather it not waste additional energy when I can use a dab of a towel to soak up any remaining drops.
The only cycle I haven’t yet tried is the fruit wash. The rapid cycle does an amazing job on lightly soiled items you need in a hurry (my coffee cups!)
As another reviewer said, I’m obsessed! This was money so well spent, I wish I’d bought this years ago!
It’s entertaining, too—I can’t walk past it, while it’s operating, without touching the control panel to turn the light on, just to see the spray scrubbing up my dishes and glasses!! It’s almost meditative! ????
My only wish is that it would be available in different colors! I think retro colors would be really popular for this cute appliance, and I’d like red to match many of my other kitchen appliances.
