Deep dive:

The Capsule Dishwasher is a compact countertop dishwasher that offers powerful cleaning without the need for plumbing.

Designed for modern living, Capsule fits in small kitchens, rented flats, off-grid homes, or anywhere you need an easy, hygienic way to wash dishes. Its small footprint doesn’t compromise performance: Capsule cleans, sterilises, and dries your dishes in just 15 minutes.

At just 46 cm tall, 25 cm wide, and 50 cm deep, it’s the narrowest dishwasher on the market: ideal for countertops where every centimetre matters. Despite its slim profile, the internal rack width is 20 cm, wide enough for everyday plates, bowls, and cookware.

Unlike other mini dishwashers, Capsule has industry-leading capacity. It fits up to 35 items, including full-sized 31cm frying pans, 31 x 8.5cm deep cast iron pots, tall 28cm water bottles, and even 30×48 cm chopping boards. With its flexible dual-purpose top rack, you can load more dishes in fewer cycles, even when cooking for two or more.

Capsule uses just 2.6 litres of water in a quick wash (around 4x less than manual dishwashing) while reaching temperatures of 75 °C. That’s hot enough to kill germs (which start dying at 65 °C), and far hotter than your hands can safely handle. It’s not just a clean you can see, it’s a clean you can trust.

Inside, Capsule features a stainless steel interior (rare in mini dishwashers!), designed for better heat retention, energy efficiency, and faster drying. Unlike machines with plastic tubs or heat-leaking windows, Capsule conserves energy and protects your dishes without unnecessary exposure to plastics.

Use Capsule anywhere, with or without plumbing. It comes with a clean water tank (and we offer an optional waste water tank for totally independent use), or you can connect directly to the tap and drain to your sink. The clean water tank is designed for comfort: It sits at counter height and is easy to fill without lifting above your shoulders.

Our transparent external tanks are not only convenient, but more hygienic. Unlike other dishwashers’ hidden internal tanks, there’s no risk of trapped moisture leading to mould or algae. By moving the tanks outside the machine, Capsule also maximises the usable interior space for dishes.

Capsule includes 10 wash programs, UV-assisted drying, and a 3-stage debris filter that catches large food scraps. There’s no need to pre-wash: just scrape off leftovers and load. For detergent, it uses only 5–10g of powder, gel, or liquid. Small tablets also work, but pods made for full-size machines are too strong for Capsule’s efficient water use.

With an energy rating of E in the UK, Capsule is the most energy-efficient mini dishwasher available. It uses just 137–184 Wh per cycle depending on the mode, far less than the 500 Wh average used when washing by hand with warm water. And not only is it friendlier for the planet, but it also costs around £10 per year to run for a standard 2-person household.

Capsule runs at a quiet 57 dB, comparable to a low-noise washing machine and quieter than most modern vacuum cleaners. And because it has no automatic steam-blasting door, it's safer for kids and pets. The steam is released gradually through vents, not suddenly in one hot burst.

With a built-in carry handle and optional travel bag, Capsule is easy to move, pack, and take with you. Whether you're in a city studio, a camper van, or a holiday home, Capsule gives you real freedom from the sink. No plumbing, no fuss, just clean dishes wherever you are.

A RAD, or rinse aid dispenser automatically releases a small amount of rinse aid during the final rinse cycle of your wash.

Rinse aid is a liquid that helps water run off your dishes more easily, which leads to:

• Faster drying
• Fewer water spots or streaks
• Shinier glassware and cleaner plastic items

Capsule features a built-in RAD that ensures your dishes come out dry and spotless, without needing to wipe or air dry them. It’s especially useful in hard water areas, where drying can be uneven or leave marks.
