COOKOLOGY COUNTERTOP DISHWASHER UNBOXING, SET UP with KITCHEN TAP & INITIAL IMPRESSIONS.

It's time to do the unboxing and set up of my brand new Cookology Countertop Dishwasher and set it up for use with a kitchen tap, just for the time being, until I can get it plumbed in by a professional plumber. My tap does NOT have a screw thread on the end - it's a smooth cylinder! This was not very helpful but I managed to find a solution with a bit of advice from a plumber.

Here's the dishwasher:

The tap adapter I bought was from Wilco and was £4 - but as you could see from the video, it needed some extra work doing on it before it would fit.

    i'm addicted to watching your channel now, just started home ed for my 13 yr old eczema and allergy daughter..and although i have a rather big dishwasher, we never use it, however, i find i'm supporting daughter with lessons etc until 3, then doing planning, researching etc until about 11pm together with my own stuff..i'd rather have a table top dishwasher too..plus your video reminded me of the time when my husband was away, i wanted a clothes airer up in the garden, well i bought a large one as we have 3 adulst and 1 child in the house..i bought such a big airer that i couldn't fit it in the car properly, then, i dug out a hole and got my instant cement mixed up, digging hole took 30 mins of hard work..when i placed the spike in, i hadn't realised how quick, quick cement mix was!!! so i ended up having to dig another hole, but had a full on fight with myself in my garden to get the spike back out first, i had a massive tantrum in the garden that my mother and daughter retreated back inside the house. Plus we now live with a wonky lopsided clothes airer because i still didn't get the hang of using quick cement and i wasn't going to fight digging a third hole!! Honestly, there's always a story to laugh about with my DIY adventures, like the time i tried to put up a shower curtain and ended up with a hole that went right through from bathroom to living room.

    🤣 Your DIY adventures sound hilarious! I remember when I first started home-edding I would be planning til 11 every night too, but as time went on I kind of just got into a habit and pattern and didn't seem to need to do as much planning. I guess also probably because we eventually went the online/correspondence course route for key stage 4 which didn't involve as much planning. Good luck with it - I hope you enjoy it as much as we did and thanks so much for watching. :¬)

    I have the 8 place version of this dishwasher(didn't really need such a big dishwasher but I find the extra basket shelf helps a lot to cram in more stuff). I live in a soft water area so even though I put salt in the tank it doesn't really need it. I also reduced the salt water setting down to the lowest it can go and the rinse aid down to one because the Finish Quantum ultimate pouches have rinse aid in them too. I forgot to do that first wash and everything had so much residue on them.

If you pause the video at 0:09 you will see two arrows pointing up, this means 'this side up! the second symbol the umbrella means leakage can occur if not opened correctly. I hope more people will inspect their boxes first from the outside it is such a waste if the appliance needs to be refunded and returned.

    Hi Becca. Thanks for watching! I only ever use program 6, which is the 30 minute one. It doesn't dry so I just open the door and pull out the rack to let it air dry for a while before putting away. I've had a look in the operating instructions and although it doesn't say which cycle is what number I am deducing they are in numerical order and are as follows: 1 - Intensive 140 mins 2 - Normal 120 mins 3 - ECO 180 mins 4 - Glass 75 mins 5 - 90 Minute - well, 90 mins! 6 - Rapid - 30 mins 7 - Self-cleaning - 80 minutes. I find I can't put really soiled items in it - they need a rinse off under the tap first, preferably straight after use, otherwise they also need a soak. But usually that way everything comes out clean enough, and if not, it's been soaked during the cycle so a quick wipe with a cloth and rinse sorts it out. I hope that was helpful! Imo x

    Hello! What ever you do - don't do what I did! 😂As you could probably tell from this video, my universal tap adapter from the hosepipe section of Wilko botch job (I had to cut it and add something else onto it) didn't really work very well as it kept flying off the tap at high pressure. I was convinced my tap didn't have a screw thread on it - but it turns out that it actually did. So I don't know exactly what the adapter you need is called, but if you can work out the diameter of your tap end and get a screw adapter for that diameter, I'm guessing it should work. You should be able to unscrew the end of it to reveal a screw. I didn't find that clear from the packaging, or from Amazon, where I bought mine from. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! I would heartily recommend getting it properly plumbed in though - I didn't realise how much I used my kitchen tap until it was being tied up while the dishwasher was running and I got sick of plugging it into the tap very quickly. I love this dishwasher though, all these months on! Thanks so much for watching and good luck finding the right fitting!
