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 really appreciate how realistic this was - no editing out the bits that we would all struggle with too

This video literally saved the day, I recently bought a counter top dishwasher and had the same issues with connecting it to the tap, this idea is amazing . I've done the same and now have a working dishwasher after buying loads of different attachments for the tap that just wouldn't fit . 😊 Thank you

[grfng]

OMG your reactions were sooo hilarious 😂 ... and it's exactly how I'd be in your situation.
Thank you for one of the most authentic reviews I've ever watch.
Cheers from Australia 🐨🐾

I was looking into getting a tabletop dishwasher and things started to get rather serious. Then I found your wonderful video and you’ve made my day …. thanks 😄

[beckyphillips]

I found your video on the weekend and now I have a dishwasher! Thank you for sharing this video!!

[VortexMotiveVision]

This is proper youtube.
Thanks! My one is being delivered tomorrow!
Looking forward to setting it up!

[crissidares]

This video is excellent and SO helpful! Thank you so much for posting. I'm so nervous about investing in a countertop dishwasher, and I know nada about plumbing so the genuineness of this video is excellent for me. Thanks again. 😊

Well done on your perseverance! I had a plumber install my table top dishwasher and never had to put that item on my tap ever so none of that screwing anything to my tap, I just plugged in and it worked, it must be all set up behind my dishwasher so no need for the annoying tap things coming off. If you don’t have the space for a full dishwasher and dislike washing dishes as I do then you will adore these sizes of dishwasher, great for one person or max two. Love mine, on my second one and wouldn’t be without it, also being on worktop you don’t have to bend down to load and unload, another plus.

So funny 🤣 this is my reaction to any DIY or setting up things....glad I'm not only one!!! It's made me more confident in attempting mine now, as I've the same dishwasher and tap, it's been sitting in my kitchen unused for two years 🙈 been thinking I couldn't do it. Thanks ♥️

[julierichards]

Loved watching you. Bleep bleep bleep to say it's finished 😂 Love it. Sound affects. You really are a breath of fresh air to watch. Thank you for all the tips x

[TheRatlord]

i just got the 8 place baridi dishwasher. it is similar to yours. i tried a screw in tap adapter and it just kept leaking everywhere so i decided to plumb it in like the washing machine. i had to cut a hole in the worktop but it works great now with no leaks. it is also looks nicer than havig pipes all over the place.It is my first ever dishwasher and my emotions during the setup process were identical to yours.

[Romantico]

Lol you are so funny Bridget Jones lol. I enjoy this very much and I love it.

[victoriagraham]

This was amazingly hilarious to watch and you are lovely from Richmond Hill Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[MiaAngjeluda-vqvc]

Wow that was a brilliant honest review! And very funny! 😂 thank you for helping me decide!

[shaunjp]

Have to say watched this whilst having my lunch . It was so funny made my day 😂😂
Well done 👍

[munisamade]

Thanks for this honest review and showing us almost all about this cute dishwasher. I am gonna buy one so I found your video on the search of counter top dishwasher related videos!

[birdman]

I know I shouldn't I found your Video whilst research a replacement for my Hotpoint, Disaster. And I never laughed so much. Nearly as wet as I got disconnecting the old Hotpoint one, because the Valve had given up the ghost and then found the water stop tap was snapped and the other one was 8 metre's away from the Flat. You may have sold a Dishwasher for them, just based on your fun video, its going to be in my head for months. Might have to watch a few more times lol

[kathyytube]

Not laughed so much for a long time. Thanks Imo, that was hilarious 😂😂😂

[leeoconnor]

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.

You've done a great job setting things up but oh my goodness, water alert!💦☔Trials and tribulations!
Great your plumber will fully plumb it eventually! Your life will never be the same again with your new appliance😎👍
