Does it need to be hooked up to plumbing?

No. It has a built-in 5 L tank, so you fill it by hand and run a cycle anywhere. You can also connect it to a faucet if you want continuous water.

It is rated for 4 place settings and over 30 items, with plates up to 10.6 inches fitting without tilting. Large pots and pans will not fit.

It is rated at 45 dB, about the level of a quiet conversation, so it can run in an open kitchen or RV without much disruption.

What cycles does it have?

Seven cycles, including Express in 28 minutes, Delicate, Baby Care, Fruit, Self-Cleaning and a start delay. The steam wash reaches 167°F.

Does it fit in an RV?

Yes, it is built for RVs, apartments and compact kitchens. Measure your counter and cabinet clearance against its 21.7-inch width and 19.6-inch height first.

How does it compare with a full-size dishwasher?

It holds far less: 4 place settings against 12 or more in a full-size unit, and big pots will not fit. In return it needs no installation and can run from its tank anywhere.
