Developed for caravans and tiny houses: works without plumbing

French company Daan Tech has introduced the BOB Mini compact dishwasher designed for caravans, tiny houses, boats, and small kitchens. The device, measuring 34 cm wide and weighing about 10 kg, features a built-in 3.9-liter tank, allowing it to operate without a direct water connection. It uses 2.9 liters of water per wash, which the manufacturer claims is up to 80% less than hand washing. The unit has a power rating of 1000 W, consumes about 0.43 kWh per standard cycle, and 0.5 W in standby. A quick program takes about 20 minutes, and noise levels are around 43 dB.
