5 Reasons Why Capsule Is the Best Countertop Dishwasher

Doing the dishes is one of those never-ending chores. On average, people spend thousands of hours of their lives at the sink, and most of us would rather spend that time on anything else.

Capsule is here to change that. Designed in Scotland and loved around the world, it’s more than just a compact dishwasher: it’s freedom from the sink.

Here are five reasons why Capsule is the best countertop dishwasher for modern homes.

1. Quick Wash Cycles That Save Time (and Your Sanity)

Capsule dishwashers aren’t in the business of wasting time. Instead of waiting hours for a traditional dishwasher to finish, Capsule cleans and dries 2 to 4 meals’ worth of dishes in just 15 minutes.

That means after breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can have clean, sanitised dishes ready before you’ve even thought about what you’re going to have for your next meal.

And because Capsule uses as little as 2.6 litres (0.57 gallons) of water per wash, you’re cutting down on waste and utility bills too.

2. A Premium Stainless Steel Interior That’s Unique to Capsule

Most countertop dishwashers use plastic tubs. Capsule is built with a stainless steel interior, and not just because it looks great, but because it performs better. Stainless steel equals...

• Durability: Built to last for years of daily use, without shedding microplastics onto your dishes.
• Hygiene: Stainless steel resists stains, odours and bacterial growth far better than plastic.
• Performance: Reflective steel walls help circulate heat efficiently, sanitising dishes at up to 75°C (167°F).

It's a professional-grade finish in a compact appliance: like a miniature full-size dishwasher.

3. Surprisingly Large Capacity That Fits the Dishes You Already Use

Don’t be fooled by Capsule’s small footprint: It’s the only dishwasher in its category that fits large frying pans up to 30cm wide (12.2") wide. That makes it ideal for everything from everyday plates and bowls to those stubborn, grease-covered pans no one wants to wash by hand.

Customers often say they’re amazed at how much Capsule can hold, comfortably cleaning after full meals for singles, couples and small families.

4. No Plumbing Needed, So Your Options Are Wide Open

Unlike traditional dishwashers, Capsule doesn’t require a complicated installation or permanent plumbing. It's ready right out of the box: Fill its tank, place it on your countertop, put the end of the drain hose in your sink (or get another tank and drain into it), and press Start.

Want to use it in an RV, camper, small rental, or even at a holiday rental? No problem: Capsule goes wherever you and your dishes go.

It’s freedom from pipes, hoses, and kitchen remodeling! Perfect for proud free-roaming souls like you and us.

5. External Water Tank, Because Mould Is Gross

Before we invented Capsule, all countertop dishwashers we came across had built-in water tanks. You might think: “Oh good! They don’t need water inlets either!”, but let us tell you what we found when we dissected those dishwashers after a bit of use: mold and algae - lots of it.

Think about it: people are putting water into a dark, warm environment. Of course nasty things would grow in it.

So we changed it with Capsule. Our dishwashers have external, clear water tanks. That means no mould, no algae, and seeing exactly what goes onto your dishes.

1. But there’s even more cleverness to our external water tanks!
2. Top-mounted tanks on other machines mean lifting a heavy jug over shoulder height every refill. Not with Capsule.

Bonus: Two Models, Tailored to Your Needs

We know every household is different. That’s why Capsule comes in two versions:

Capsule: The original model with all the bells and whistles (including an awesome UV-light sanitising cycle).

Capsule Solo: A lighter, streamlined version that's more affordable.

By offering options, we hope that whether you’re in a studio flat, a busy home, or a camper van, there’s a Capsule that’s right for you.
