Made in France by employees who are paid at the French minimum wage. Here is a video of the French factory: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftxjgKVhqqjPlGw.html To have a cheaper mini dishwasher, you have to get closer to Made in China, which employs children paid at the lowest price.

Expensive? Yes. Too expensive? Nope. As always, things get more expensive the smaller you make them. Sure, you can get a full-sized dishwasher for a lot less money, but what good is that if you can't fit it anywhere? Buying a new kitchen to fit your regular sized dishwasher in somewhere, now THAT'S way too expensive.

Happy to hear, good choice.

@@ChigzTech hi there could you show more of this dishwasher

Buy a half size or slim line dishwasher. Guaranteed they'd do a better job than this thing and be cheaper too.

@@drxym Really? I'll check it out, thanks.

@@edagener3164 A basic slimline / compact dishwasher costs maybe £200 / €250. e.g the ESSENTIALS CUE CDWTT20 dishwasher sells for £190 and calls itself a table top dishwasher but could go under a counter top. Compare to this Bob for £350 - and that's price doesn't even include VAT.

£69.99 now

@@marklola12 really? I'm sold!

@@marklola12 Have you lost the plot or something? It's £399 on Amazon. Dunno if you think you're being funny or something but you actually got me excited by saying it's now £69.99.

It’s a very good product. I’m hooked on mine.

I live by myself in a smallish bungalow and there was always something more interesting to do than washing-up. I got a Bob, he is not perfect but a lot better than a pile of smelly dishes waiting. The cassettes work out expensive, I would like to know about this gel that was mentioned.

Note this guy did not buy his machine, this is another review by & for the manufacture so he obviously gives a glowing review.

Anywhere, just throw one in with the dishes.

Yes I use any dish wash tablet just throw it in anywhere with the dishes and it works great. I don’t even bother using the Bob cartridges anymore.

@@ChigzTech thanks for your response!

​@@ChigzTech thought you didn't use the tablets🤔

Just throw the regular dishwasher tablet in with the dishes and it does the job.

Good choice, enjoy.

Extremely quiet. I give it that

Hard to give this away. 😂

I'm also wondering this. The UV-C module is active during regular wash cycles too, but does it really have a noticeable effect on the results?

I can wash 6 plates 2 glasses 2 bowls and lots of cutlery all at the same time. You can re-arrange it depending on what you want to wash.

@@ChigzTech Thanks for reply. I will have to look at this more seriously.

Absolutely 👍

You can use regular dishwasher tablets. Just throw them in anywhere with your dishes. But in order for bob to operate, just leave the empty bob cartridge in the unit. I actually prefer the results with dishwasher tablets.

@@ChigzTech This info might make me get one! :)

Thanks for bringing this up. I got a response from CS, it actually uses gel and not tablets. So glad I did not put a tablet in. :)

​@@ChigzTech you said earlier you did put a tablet in🤔🤔

Tableta are created for full size machines. So they are too strong for this small thing.

@@shauni1987 I've actually switched to regular tablets in the meantime (2 years later), and it's working great.

Regular tablets would be far too much for this dishwasher. I would break it up or preferably use a powder dishwasher. If you get a lot of foam in the wash, it's way too much detergent and the dishwasher won't clean as well because it's washing with an air-water mix

You don't have to use the cassettes at all at least we don't. We can use any dishwasher detergent we want

@@elixier33 oh ok. I didn't know you could. Thx for clearing that up!

How long did it take for you to arrive?

You can use regular dishwasher tablets.

@@ChigzTech How do you use them in the machine? Video didn't say

@@angel129116 you put them in😂

You never know 😂

indeed

Oh really sad news

I used to do that too. I will stick with Bob. 😀

Yeh it's better to fill bowl with water, tbh he makes out like it uses less water but in reality if you do them right in a sink it's Easter and better plus uses no extra electric lol plus not things can be washed with cold water too really like cups etc

In the manual they make a point in saying that you dont have to use their carts and normal dishwasher detergent is also ok to use.

More efficient, less soap, less water, less electricity when you use a dishwasher within reason. This being smaller dishwasher it will use much less of each and also does a better job at cleaning.

@@NoZenith it would take maybe 5 minutes to wash a similar load in a sink. No more effort than to drag this thing out, load it, set it up, and unload it. I doubt it would require any more water either since this thing uses 4 litres to wash / rinse. There are also cheaper countertop dishwashers that would fit virtually any apartment. And if space is so restricted that even they don't fit (e.g. a small boat / rv) then why buy this thing either when it is dead space the rest of the time? It is just an overpriced gimmick.

@@drxym not at all the same thing. This uses hotter water to clean the dishes with less soap than doing it in the sink would. When my parents are around we go through a lot of dishes and then I head to work and end up with a pile of dishes when I get back home. Mom doesn't have the stamina to stand up with replaced hip and going through cancer treatment. It would make life a lot easier and take off the same or less space on my counter than a dish drainer and I could still use it as a dish drainer if I did want to do some dishes by hand
