HAVA TDJR09 Countertop Dishwasher Review
Our verdict
The HAVA TDJR09 is a compact black countertop dishwasher with a 5-liter tank and a 4.3 rating from 1,800 reviews, but it runs on 220 volts, which rules it out for most standard North American households without a voltage converter. At $369, that limitation is a deal-breaker for the majority of buyers.

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.

Overview
The HAVA TDJR09 shares a near-identical physical design with the HAVA TDQR listed in the product index at the same $339 to $369 price range. Dimensions are 16.86 x 16.75 x 18.05 inches and the unit weighs just 13.0 lb, making it by far the lightest model in this roundup. That weight is unusually low for any dishwasher with a 5-liter capacity and likely reflects a compact internal construction suited to its portable design.
The critical spec to understand is voltage. The TDJR09 runs on 220 volts, not the 120V standard used throughout the United States and Canada. Plugging it into a 120V outlet will not power it, and using an inexpensive converter for high-draw appliances can cause problems. If you are buying for use in the US or Canada, this unit is not compatible without specialized electrical infrastructure.
Set aside the voltage issue, and the product has solid credentials. A 4.3 rating from 1,800 reviews is well-supported and competitive. The black glossy finish and touch controls are consistent with other HAVA units. At 60 dB it is moderately loud. For international buyers or anyone with confirmed 220V access, it is a legitimate option. For the US market, nearly every other model on this list is a better fit.
Pros
- 4.3 rating from 1,800 reviews is a well-validated score
- Extremely light at 13.0 lb for easy relocation
- Black glossy finish and compact footprint
- Touch controls
- 5-liter tank avoids the need for a plumbing connection
Cons
- 220V power requirement excludes standard US and Canadian households
- 60 dB noise level is on the louder end for compact units
- At $369, it is priced higher than better-suited 120V alternatives
- 13.0 lb weight raises questions about interior build density
Performance notes
The TDJR09 operates at 220V, which is the primary spec that disqualifies it for most buyers reading this in North America. Noise is rated at 60 dB, which is moderately loud for a compact unit. The 5-liter tank handles small loads. Dimensions are 16.86 x 16.75 x 18.05 inches with an unusually light 13.0 lb body. Finish is glossy black with touch controls.
What buyers say
1,800 reviews at 4.3 stars is a healthy sample that supports confidence in the product itself. Buyers rating this unit favorably tend to confirm the compact size, ease of use, and cleaning results on small loads. The 220V limitation is not always flagged in reviews because buyers who left feedback presumably purchased it for a compatible electrical environment. US buyers should not interpret positive reviews as confirmation of 120V compatibility.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the HAVA TDJR09 in the United States?
Standard US household circuits run at 120 volts. The TDJR09 requires 220 volts and will not operate on a 120V outlet. Using a step-up voltage converter with a high-draw appliance like a dishwasher is technically possible but adds cost, complexity, and potential safety risk. For US buyers, a 120V model like the HAVA TDQR or any of the other models in this roundup is the straightforward choice.
Why does the HAVA TDJR09 weigh only 13 lb?
At 13.0 lb, the TDJR09 is the lightest dishwasher in this comparison by a wide margin. Most compact countertop units in this size class weigh 26 to 30 lb. This unusually low weight is not explained in the published specs. It may reflect a smaller internal water reservoir or a lighter shell construction. If weight is a concern for your setup, confirm the spec directly with the seller.
How does the HAVA TDJR09 compare to the HAVA TDQR?
The TDQR is listed at $339 and runs on 220V as well, with 60 dB noise and a 5-liter tank. The TDJR09 is priced at $369 and carries a stronger review base (1,800 vs 918). Both models share similar specs and the same core voltage limitation. If you need a 220V HAVA unit, the TDJR09 has more buyer validation for the extra $30.
