HAVA TDQR Countertop Dishwasher Review
Our verdict
The HAVA TDQR is an ultralight countertop dishwasher at just 13 lb, but it requires a 220 V outlet, which limits where it can be used in a standard US home. At $339 with a 4.4-star average from 918 reviews, it finds a niche with buyers who already have or are willing to add a 220 V circuit.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Buyers who have access to a 220 V outlet, such as near a laundry area or in an international household, and who want the lightest possible countertop dishwasher.
Skip if
You have only standard 110 to 120 V outlets available in your kitchen, since the TDQR requires 220 V and will not work on standard US household circuits without a converter.

918 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other vacuum sealers, built-in and countertop dishwashers, food slicers, meat and grain grinders, spice mills and kitchen prep appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At 13 lb, the HAVA TDQR is by far the lightest unit on this list. Its 16.8 x 16.7 x 18-inch footprint is also compact, making it easy to tuck into a small kitchen corner. The glossy black finish has a contemporary look that suits modern kitchen designs. Touch controls keep the interface clean.
The critical specification to understand before purchasing is the 220 V power requirement. Most standard US kitchen outlets deliver 110 to 120 V. A 220 V appliance will not run correctly, or safely, on a standard outlet. Buyers need either an existing 220 V outlet (common near dryers, ovens, or in some international homes) or a step-up transformer, which adds cost and complexity.
The 5-liter tank capacity gives it a practical edge over the smallest compact models. Noise is rated at 60 dB, which is audible but typical for a countertop dishwasher at this price. The 918-review base at 4.4 stars suggests buyers who understand the voltage requirement are broadly satisfied with the unit's performance.
Pros
- Extraordinarily light at 13 lb, far easier to move than any competitor
- Compact 16.8 x 16.7-inch footprint fits tight counter spaces
- 4.4-star average across 918 reviews reflects strong buyer satisfaction
- Glossy black finish has a modern, premium appearance
- 5-liter tank provides practical per-cycle capacity
Cons
- Requires a 220 V outlet, which is uncommon in US kitchen settings
- 60 dB noise rating is on the louder side for a compact unit
- Buyers who need a voltage converter will face added cost and a larger footprint

Frequently asked questions
Will the HAVA TDQR work on a standard US 120 V kitchen outlet?
No. The TDQR requires a 220 V power supply. Standard US kitchen outlets provide 110 to 120 V. Running a 220 V appliance on a 120 V outlet will not power it correctly and could damage the unit. If you do not have a 220 V outlet available in your kitchen, you would need a step-up voltage converter, which adds cost and takes up counter space.
Where would a 220 V outlet typically be available in a US home?
220 V outlets are standard near clothes dryers, electric ovens, and some air conditioning units. They are also common in older homes with mixed voltage wiring and in households where international appliances have been used before. If you are unsure what voltage your kitchen outlet provides, check with a licensed electrician before purchasing.
How does 13 lb compare to other countertop dishwashers?
Most countertop dishwashers in this category weigh 26 to 53 lb. At 13 lb, the HAVA TDQR is dramatically lighter than any comparable unit, which means you can pick it up with one hand, store it in a cabinet between uses, or move it to different locations easily.
