I’ve also been lusting after dishwasher…haha… I saw this tiny one when I went to Japan… By Panasonic. It was not much bigger than a toaster oven… Canonly take4 sets of crockery and cutlery though. Unfortunately, they haven’t got it here…

I am also thinking of dishwasher but the installation is a headache as it need a water outlet point ... Too much trouble to install

Hi Shoe,


I hv a Bosch countertop dishwasher, its slightly bigger than a microwave. I think Bosch is the only countertop avail in Singapore. Its for 6 placings and very useful as I dislike washing dishes. It frees a lot of time.
I am sure you will find it useful too.

Have been maidless since Dec 2011, and what a change it has been!


1. Don’t work overtime! This was hardest to adjust and explain to the Boss. Personally sending & picking up the son from childcare helps build bond. During these moments, its just us 2 talking to each other.
2. No more cooking! TaPao almost all meals. I hope our hair will not drop off soon.
3. Do house chores! Most chores can be done when son has slept. Buying a 8kg washer and a 8kg dryer helps a lot …
4. Get son to do house chores! This is the best change and even now when I see him help wipe the picture frames, tables, cupboards, sofas … I get this big smile that is priceless!

Fatmama is ur dishwasher something like this? http://www.bosch-home.com.sg/Files/Bosch/Sg/sg_en/AdditionalFiles/2011_catalogue/Dishwasher%202011.pdf


can put in pots and all right ? my aunt is using dishwasher, she said not everything can go in

Hi Micollh,


Yes my dishwasher is the 1/2 size model, cant wash big pots.
If you want to wash pots then you hv to get the full size model that has 2 layers of tray. Use 1 tray for dishes and 1 tray for pots.
For me, dishwasher is very useful.

Roomba can only vacuum, Scooba can mop.

Thanks Fatmama… can i know the model that u use as reference? from bosch website, the small one only have one model SKS60E02EU… if i get a 2 layers, i will need to find space for it… a bit difficult too…

Hi Micollh,


Yes that’s my model. Just install the countertop next to the basin, loading it is very convenient.
The full size model is abt the same size as a washing machine and you have to bend down to load it.
