I've been using the Maximus Mini Dishwasher model for 2yrs now, though bought it on sale at around PhP15k. https://www.thegreatest.ph/store/p12/MAX-004M.html

Soap: Seventh Generation Dishwasher Detergent Powder

As someone that hates washing dishes, this appliance is a lifechanger.

Caveat: We only use the Rapid option (runs for 30mins. Does not include the drying option) then air dry after. Super tagal ng Eco/intense options for me, I think they run for more than 2hours so feel ko sayang sa kuryente eh natutuyo din naman at the same time via air dry.

Pros:

• very effective in removing sebo in plastic dishes
• Can accomodate dishes used for 1 or 2 meals for a small family (excluding cooking utensils)
• Tipid sa tubig kasi 5L lang for a full load
• Tipid din sa soap, kaya tumagal ng half year isang box
• Acts as a drying rack na rin
• Peace and harmony sa household (can't emphasize this enough. Lol)

Cons:

• Need to ensure that your dishes are dishwasher safe, so byebye sa cute plates from Daiso. We had to swap them with Ikea Kalas.
• Hindi na kame gumagamit ng full sized dinner plates since bulky sya masyado. Sa mangkok na lang kame kumakain
• Mugs lang din ang drinkware namen dahil bulky kasi normal glasses.
• Limited din lalagyan ng kubyertos, so minsan manual din sya hinuhugasan.
• Sa The Marketplace / online lang available yung dishwasher soap.
• Smallish pots + pan can fit, pero hindi practical kasi sayang yung space
