Omega ODW101W

A good machine but not as good as it was – I had an ODW101W for 9 years and was very happy with it. When it died I replaced it with the same model. Unfortunately the new machine does not have the same benchtop connection as the previous one. The inlet hose split on first use. I went to Bunnings and spent $50 on hardware to make the machine usable. It is still a good machine but it is let down by the lack of the assembly which was included with the original machine. Show details ·  1

Good Dishwasher - cleans nicely :) – I bought this machine due to renting currently so could not install an under-sink model. This one sits at the end of my kitchen bench and takes up around 1mtr with space around it. I did have some difficulty finding a way to connect the inlet pipe to my kitchen tap, but in the end a little research and inguinuity and it's all good. The outlet… Read more ·  1

pipe just hangs into the spare sink and is not a big problem.

It fits most of our dishes (plates/saucers/bowls etc...) but it takes a little manouvering to fit our larger dinner plates. We have just 3 people usually for meals at most.

As for cleaning results, I have found that the quick 1hr setting doesnt clean properly for dinner dishes, but is good for some cups, saucers, bread/butter plates, and loose cuttlery.

For serious cleaning (Dinner plates, small pots, bowls, lots of cuttelry) the middle settings work great :) this takes longer but certainly gives a better result.

Also I found it best to always use the liquid rinse aid, and check the level each wash. And clean the drain filter every couple of washes, and keep the door seal free of debris.

Overall for the price, it's good value and serves us well.

built with second rate components – hello had one of these units lasted 12 months started flashing e 14 error code flashing glass cycle called a technician to have a look he took it apart found it had a plastic water pump housing with a heater element inside overheating causing pump to leek the technician had 35 yrs experience and said plastic water pump with heater element will never last will fail due to excessive heat

Very good benchtop dishwasher – This dishwasher can fit easily on any kitchen benchtop. It has enough height to fit dinner plates up to 25.5cm(10 inches) bigger plates can be tilted over to fit. It heats the water inside so only need a cold water connection. Cleans very well all the dishes, bowl, cutlery, and medium-size pots & pans as well and is very quiet when operating. Show details

So quiet and easy to use – After reading lots of positive reviews, we bought this beautiful benchtop dishwasher and couldn't be happier. Very easy to use: just attach the hoses, plug it in, and away it goes. It fits about 6 place-settings worth of dishes - cups, bowls, plates, and cutlery. Best of all, it's super-quiet! Had to check a few times to be sure it was on! If… Read more

you're renting or can't install a standard dishwasher, this is the model to get! Couldn't be happier!

Wish I had bought this years ago – I loathe washing dishes, so this benchtop dishwasher has been a lifesaver. I recently moved into my new home, but unfortunately had no space for a dishwasher (older home). My only option was to bring in a carpenter to cut out space (was hoping to wait till I'm ready to renovate). Then I saw benchtop dishwashers. There's 2 of us plus 2 cats, and… Read more

for something small, it fits quite a bit in. Been using for a few weeks now, and I love to bake and cook, so it's definitely been tested.

I have reduced how often I use my large (28cm?) plates, opting for side plates or the flatter bowls. But the large plates can and do get cleaned, if you angle them in (this was my biggest concern). They just take up space so you don't get as many dishes in during that wash. I've also tested out pots, and they clean well. I do take time to give everything a rise before going in though.

You can get adaptors for the kitchen, but I ended up putting my dishwasher in the laundry room on top the dryer, since the hose attachments are the same. It's the next room over from the kitchen, so carting dishes back and forth isn't a problem.

Sound wise, haven't noticed. I know it's running but it's not loud, but I'm not in an apartment, so can't comment on what it would be like in a small space.

I did like someone's suggestion about leaving the door open once it's finished so it dries properly. Definitely required.

I only wish I had bought this when I was at an old rental a few years ago!

Perfect for renters – I wish we'd bought one sooner. This dishwasher fits on a corner of our benchtop and connects to the kitchen sink with the included fittings. It's a perfect size for a couple, and takes a day's worth of mugs, cereal bowls, and plates (although I'd suggest looking up the manual online to make sure your plates will fit inside it). We run it almost… Read more

every night, and are still on our first 1kg bottle of washing powder six months later.

The normal wash cycle takes an hour or so, but unless your place is really small it's easy to run it overnight and not notice the noise.

works very well – Perfect bench top dish washer solution for kitchens that don't have built-in or free standing space. Easy to fit/wash four people's dishes in the tray. The sound is not loud and washing time/result is reasonable. It doesn't require dedicated water supply. Within the box, it comes with a converter so it can get water direct from kitchen tapes.  Show details

Wow product with heaps of room – We bought this lovely dishwasher 10 days ago from appliance online. I order Tuesday night and it delivered next day at 8:30 to my home, fantastic. We run it at night. It works perfect for 2 of us no kid. We always use 1 hr washing option. It washes the dishes better than me, my wife said. We are totally happy with that. If you do not enough place… Read more

for a big free stand dishwasher and looking for a good small benchtop one, go for it. I connected the hose to the cold tap permanently, so our cabinet door under the sink is open a bit but my wife said I am happy with that cause she doe not have to connect it each time to use it. I've got a few connector from bunnings to do it permanently.

The price was amazing. The goodguys price was $569 while applianceonline price was $459, but we bought it for $417!!!!!! because I found it in another online store and ask applianceonline to match the price for me and it is done. Great.

Wife is very happy – Best gift I purchased for my wife, she is so happy with her Omega. She's been complaining wasting time doing the dishes and been bugging me to buy a dishwasher. ODW101W is perfect for us because we don't have space in our small apartment. The dishwasher is easy to install, I just put it on top of our counter and connect it to kitchen tap when… Read more

needed. It is very quite, it usually run in the evening, it clean the dishes very well. The unit is very easy to use.

I love it – 2019 update: I still love this dishwasher. The kitchen was upgraded so it finally sits on the bench. For a while now I’ve had some issues starting - I have to slam the door shut really hard but it seems to take it AND turn on. It goes like a dream.. quiet. No leakage. Works well. Once it has turned off you should leave door open to avoid… Read more

condensation building up. When it stops working I will definitely get another. I have used it everyday for for over 3 years. The connector is an orange hose connector. Has made my life so much easier. Also I removed the annoying latticed lid/flaps to the cutlery box - I can throw the cutlery in now!

ORIGINAL: This is a review for ODW101W. I live in a rental property with a kitchen so small I can't even put this on a benchtop. I have put on a wheely table. A lovely bunnings man gave me the right connector fittings to run the water inlet to the tap (which I just click on and off) and I run the outflow water into a bucket which means I don't need to wheel to sink (outflow hose shorter than inflow). It hardly uses any water. The dishwasher is quiet with short and long settings. It beeps if I forget to turn on water and when finished. It fits a lot in if you follow the diagrams. I Absolutely love it after years of hand washing. Should have looked into years ago.
