What Is a Comfee Countertop Dishwasher?

A Comfee countertop dishwasher is a small dishwasher that sits on your kitchen counter. You do not need to bend down or install heavy plumbing. You can put it on a table or near your sink.
It cleans your dishes using hot water, detergent, and different wash cycles. It is great for small kitchens, rented homes, and people who stay alone or with a small family.

When I lived in a small apartment, I did not have space for a big dishwasher. I washed all dishes by hand. Some nights I was tired, and I would just leave the sink full. When I bought a Comfee dishwasher, my evenings felt lighter. I could watch TV or rest while the machine washed everything for me.

Why People Love This Dishwasher

Here are some reasons people choose it:

It is small and fits anywhere.
It uses less water than hand washing.
It saves time.
It is quiet.
It has an easy-fill water tank option.
It is great for beginners.

The best part is that you do not need plumbing skills. You can start using it the same day you buy it.

Step-By-Step Beginner Guide

How to Use a Comfee Countertop Dishwasher

Now let’s go through each step in very clear and simple words. Follow this guide the first time you run your dishwasher, and it will feel easy forever.

Step 1: Unbox and Place Your Dishwasher

Take the dishwasher out of the box. Remove plastic, tapes, and foam.
Place it on a flat, strong surface like your kitchen counter or a small table.

Important tips:

Keep it close to a plug point.
Make sure the door can open fully.
Leave a little space behind the machine for air.

When I placed mine, I kept it near a window so the steam could go out easily when I opened the door.

Step 2: Decide Water Supply Method

A Comfee dishwasher works in two ways:

Method 1: Use the water tank

You fill water directly into the top tank. No need to connect pipes.

Method 2: Connect to the tap

Use the included hose and attach it to your faucet.

Most beginners choose the water tank because it is the easiest. I also used the tank for many months until I got comfortable.

Step 3: Load Your Dishes the Right Way

Open the door. Pull out the rack.

Place dishes in a simple, spaced-out way:

Plates should stand straight.
Bowls should face down.
Cups should face down.
Spoons and forks should not be stuck together.
Do not block the spray arms.

I once overloaded my dishwasher because I was lazy. The dishes came out half dirty. After that, I learned to give each item breathing space. The water must hit every surface to clean well.

Step 4: Add Dishwasher Detergent

Always use dishwasher detergent, not normal dish soap. Normal soap creates too many bubbles.

You can use:

Dishwasher tablets
Dishwasher powder
Dishwasher gel

Open the detergent compartment on the inside of the door and put the detergent in. Close the lid.

A small tip: If your dishes are not very dirty, you can use half a tablet. It still cleans well.

Step 5: Fill Water (If Using the Tank)

If you are using the built-in water tank, your machine will tell you when it needs water.

You will see a symbol or hear a small beep.

Take the small water jug that comes with the dishwasher. Pour water into the tank slowly.
Most Comfee tanks need around 5 liters.

Step 6: Choose a Wash Cycle

Your Comfee dishwasher will have buttons like:

Normal
Eco
Quick
Baby care
Glass
Heavy
Dry

Each wash cycle has a different time and temperature.

Here is a simple guide:

Normal: Good for daily use.
Eco: Uses less water and power.
Quick: Light cleaning when you are in a hurry.
Baby Care: Very hot water. Good for bottles.
Glass: For delicate items.
Heavy: When dishes have dried food.

I use “Quick” most of the time because my dishes are not too dirty. On weekends, I run a full “Normal” cycle.

Step 7: Start the Dishwasher

Close the door.
Press the Start button.

The dishwasher will run the cycle.
You may hear soft water sounds, which is normal.

Now sit back and relax. Some evenings, I make tea and watch the water beads move on the glass door. It is calming strangely.

Step 8: Wait for the Drying Process

When the washing ends, the dishwasher may switch to a drying mode.
Let it finish.

If you open the door during drying, steam will come out. This is safe, but it is better to wait.

Step 9: Let the Dishes Cool and Then Unload

When the machine beeps, wait 5–10 minutes.

Then open the door.

Take out the dishes. They will be clean, warm, and dry.

A helpful habit I follow:
I open the door slightly after the cycle ends. This lets steam escape and helps drying happen faster.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Many beginners make these small errors:

Putting normal soap instead of dishwasher detergent
Overloading the machine
Blocking the spray arms
Not filling enough water
Using plastic that cannot handle hot water
Keeping very burned pans inside (not meant for that)

Avoid these, and your dishwasher will work great for years.

Troubleshooting Tips

Here are quick answers if something goes wrong.

Problem: Dishes come out cloudy

Reason: Hard water.
Fix: Use rinse aid.

Problem: Food bits stuck

Reason: Overloading or wrong placing.
Fix: Spread dishes out.

Problem: Machine not starting

Reason: Door not closed fully.
Fix: Push gently until you hear a click.

Problem: Water not entering

Reason: Tank is empty or tap connection is loose.
Fix: Refill or tighten hose.

I once forgot to fill the tank and kept wondering why my machine was silent. I laughed when I realized the small mistake.

How to operate a Comfee dishwasher?

Operating a Comfee dishwasher is very simple because the machine is designed for first-time users.
To operate it, you only need to follow a few main steps: load dishes, add detergent, fill water or connect the tap, choose a wash cycle, and press start. The control panel is clear and has symbols that help you understand what each button does. Even if you have never used a dishwasher before, the buttons are easy to learn.
When I first operated mine, I pressed the wrong cycle by mistake. But nothing bad happened. The dishwasher is very beginner-friendly. After two or three washes, I felt like a pro. Over time, you will also develop your own small routine. Some people like using Quick mode daily. Some like Normal mode. The machine gives you freedom to choose.

How to use a counter dishwasher?

A counter dishwasher works almost the same as a big built-in dishwasher. The only difference is that it sits on your counter and takes up less space. To use it, you open the door, place your dirty dishes inside, add dishwasher detergent, and fill the water tank or attach a hose to your tap. After that, you select the wash cycle you want and press the start button.
Counter dishwashers like Comfee are great for tiny kitchens, paying guests, small families, and rented flats. You do not need any plumber. You do not need to drill holes or change your sink. When I lived alone, my counter dishwasher was like a friend that helped me every night. Using it is simple, safe, and much faster than hand washing.

How to use a dishwasher machine step by step?

Here is the easiest step-by-step way to use any small dishwasher:

Place the machine on a flat surface.
Open the door and load dishes neatly.
Add dishwasher detergent in the small compartment.
Fill the tank or connect a hose.
Close the door firmly.
Pick a wash cycle.
Press start and wait.
Let it dry.
Remove the clean dishes.

This step-by-step method works for all Comfee models. The first time I did it, I even wrote these steps on a small sticky note and kept it on the counter. After using the dishwasher a few times, I did not need the note anymore because the steps were so easy to remember.

How to fill a Comfee dishwasher with water?

Filling a Comfee dishwasher with water is very easy because the machine is designed for beginners.
If you are using the built-in tank, open the small lid on top of the dishwasher. Take the water jug that comes in the box. Fill it with clean tap water and pour it slowly into the tank until it reaches the required level. Most Comfee dishwashers need around 5 liters of water.
If your model is connected to a tap hose, you do not need to pour water manually. Just turn on the faucet and the machine will take water by itself. When I used mine, I liked filling the tank because it made me feel more in control and I could use the dishwasher even when my sink was busy.

Final Thoughts

A Comfee countertop dishwasher is one of the easiest home appliances to use once you learn the steps. It saves time, saves water, and keeps your kitchen stress-free. With the simple guide above, you can use your machine without confusion or fear of doing something wrong.

When I first bought mine, I thought dishwashers were complicated. But after a few days, I understood that they actually make life simple. I hope this guide gives you the same comfort and clarity.
