Devanti 8 Place Settings Benchtop Dishwasher Black

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this benchtop dishwasher suitable for Australian homes and kitchens?

Yes, absolutely. The Devanti 8 Place Settings Benchtop Dishwasher is Watermark certified and WELS approved, which means it meets all Australian water efficiency and safety standards. It's rated at 3.5 stars for water efficiency and uses just 9.4 litres per wash—well within Australian environmental guidelines. The unit operates on standard Australian 220-240V, 50Hz power, so it'll work perfectly in any Australian kitchen without needing any electrical modifications.

How much water does this dishwasher actually use compared to hand washing?

This benchtop dishwasher uses only 9.4 litres per wash cycle, which is significantly less than hand washing dishes. For an 8 place setting load, that works out to roughly 1.2 litres per place setting. Hand washing the same amount of dishes typically uses 15-25 litres of water, depending on how thorough you are. With its 3.5-star WELS water rating, you'll definitely see a reduction in your water consumption and bills over time.

Can I add dishes mid-cycle if I've forgotten something?

Yes, one of the handy features of this Devanti model is that you can easily add in forgotten dishes to the washing cycle. You're not locked into the programme once it starts, so if you find a plate or glass you missed, just pop it in. The 360-degree rotatable spray arm ensures thorough coverage no matter where you place your items in the tub.

What's the difference between this and a full-sized built-in dishwasher?

The main difference is convenience and space. At 8 place settings, this benchtop dishwasher handles smaller loads than standard 12-14 place setting built-ins, making it ideal for couples, small families, or anyone short on kitchen space. It still offers 6 cleaning programs (from intensive to rapid), a delay start function up to 8 hours, and residual heat drying just like larger models. Because it's freestanding and sits on your bench, there's zero installation hassle—no plumbing work required, and you can take it with you if you move house. It's perfect for Australian renters or those with small kitchens who still want the convenience of automatic dishwashing.

How long is the warranty and what's the return policy?

Yarra Supply offers a 30-day returns policy on this dishwasher, so you've got a month to make sure you're happy with your purchase. If you need to return it, Australia-wide free shipping is included, making the process hassle-free. We recommend checking the manufacturer's warranty details at the point of purchase for coverage beyond the 30-day period. The unit is SAA approved and has been package safe drop tested, so you can be confident it'll arrive in perfect condition.

Does it have a delay start function for off-peak water usage?

Yes, it does. The delay start function offers four options: 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours. This is handy if you want to run your dishwasher during off-peak electricity hours (typically between 9pm and 7am with most Australian energy providers) to save on power costs. Just load it up, set your preferred delay time, and let it wash while you sleep or during cheaper tariff periods.

What's included in the box and do I need to buy anything else?

The Devanti benchtop dishwasher comes fully equipped with everything you need to get started, including a removable cutlery basket, spray arm, filters, and detergent and rinse aid dispensers. You'll need to purchase dishwasher tablets or powder and rinse aid separately (both are widely available at Bunnings, Coles, Woolworths, and other Australian retailers). The unit is ready to use straight out of the box—just position it on your bench, fill the water inlet, and plug it in.
