Spend less time washing dishes and more time living your life.
It’s time for a dishwasher that fits effortlessly into your lifestyle. Powered by Scottish spirit & our love for sustainability, Capsule was designed to have the smallest footprint on your countertop and the planet.
It also works with or without plumbing, so you can use it anywhere you like.
Capsule was created to address the needs of a modern household or office space. Small but mighty, with three powerful functionalities at its core, Capsule allows you to reclaim your time and use it for stuff that matters.
Key Features
In The Press
The Problem
There are dishwashers that wash 15, 12, 6 and 4 meals worth of dishes. However, more than half of all households in most countries are made of only 1-2 people.
The Solution
We created a dishwasher for smaller households; a personal dishwasher with the capacity to wash 2 meals worth of dishes in just 15 minutes.
Small Size with Big Capacity
Capsule only takes 25cm/9.8in on your countertop and still it’s big enough to wash all your dishes from a meal for 2. It’s also big enough to wash large frying pans and chopping boards. We made no compromises on convenience.
Ideal for a small flat, office, RV, caravan, boat and studio.
Capsule was designed to complement the modern lifestyle. So can spend less time washing dishes and more time living your life.
Take Capsule with You Wherever You Go
Small and light, Capsule weighs only 10kg/22lb and bound to fit any lifestyle. Camping? Business trip? Going on holiday? Moving home? Capsule can be brought along with no hassle.
Wash Fruits and Vegetables
It’s not just dishes that need washing. Love your greens, but hate the broccoli florets crumbling and getting stuck in your strainer? How many hours are wasted in frustration trying to wash sieves and colanders? With the Capsule, you can rinse your fruit and veg easily and thoroughly, with no mess.
Sanitise with UV-C Light
Disinfect your phone, face masks, mail, keys, baby bottles… the list goes on. Capsule uses state-of-the-art UV-C disinfection, requiring zero water.
Simply select UV and press play. It is recommended 10 minutes for hard surfaces like phones and bottles and 30 minutes for paper and textiles. Capsule UV-C light uses LEDs with a wavelength of 265-275nm.
Capsule is probably one of the few appliances used for baby care that you will keep using way after the baby is not a baby anymore.
Designed to fit large items
We recognised the need for a countertop dishwasher which isn’t limited to side plates, cups, mugs, and other small items. Capsule is designed to fit larger items used in the kitchen on a daily basis: dinner plates, frying pans, chopping boards, baking pans and more.
Easy to Use
Load dishes into Capsule, add detergent on the door, add water to the water tank. Select Wash or Eco, adjust the timing if needed with the +/- buttons, press play and your all set.
Capsule requires 5-10 grams or 0.18-0.35oz of detergent (powder/liquid/gel) for normal wash and eco wash. Small tablets equivalent to that quantity are available on the market as well. **Never use detergent made for manual washing**
An open receptacle will be added in the final product as part of the door with a mark for 5g and 10g as to guide you on how much detergent you’re adding.
Dishwashers come with so many programmes and buttons, but how many of those do we really use? We designed Capsule to be intuitive and easy to use. One button for normal wash, eco wash, fruit wash and UVC disinfection. If you need more/less washing power just increase the time with plus/minus buttons. Capsule will adapt temperature, water pressure and running time accordingly. Use less time for delicate items like wine glasses and more time for heavy soiled items like frying pans. Easy.
Easy to Set Up
You can use Capsule straight out of the box. It comes with with 3L independent water tank for fresh washer. After a cleaning cycle water can be drained onto the sink through the provided 1m hose. If you prefer, you can plumb it in.
How It Works
Capsule features two twin powerful sprayers that distribute water throughout the entire tub. The water jets will hit the dishes, bounce on the roof and hit the dishes again on its way down.
Capsule’s form factor provides a tight space to improve air flow through each item and increase air velocity on each surface to accelerate the drying process.
Capsule ships worldwide and will have the right voltage and power cord plug for your region.
Programmes
Four programmes is all you need to get the most of Capsule. Wash is the normal washing programme, Eco is designed to save maximum energy, Fruit cleans fruits and vegetables and UV sanitises with UV-C light.
Capsule has a power rating of 950W and heats up to 75ºC/167ºF for sanitising and drying.
The Face-off
We know that an educated choice is the best choice. So if you’re still considering your options: good on you! Here’s how we compare against other dishwashers:
