Why Capsule Solo?

Germs die at 65ºC (149ºF), but your hands can only handle 44ºC (111ºF). Sponges harbour bacteria, and detergent only removes grease. That’s why we created Capsule—to support a healthier lifestyle.

Capsule Solo is the world’s smallest and  fastest dishwasher. It’s easy to set up and requires no plumbing. With a fast 15-minute wash cycle, it fits large kitchenware, sterilise at 75ºC (167ºF) and dry. Capsule simplifies daily cleanup while using much less water and energy than traditional methods.

Capsule Solo is a media hit! Its compact, eco-friendly design, and modern appeal are winning over reviewers, making it a must-have for space-conscious, eco-aware households.

Patent pending multifunctional Top Rack for extra flexibility.

Capsule 2.0 Solo features faster water loading time, lower water consumption, better drying performance, improved software, fits more items and all that in our most affordable Capsule yet.

Capsule is the only dishwasher of this size with stainless steel tub

With Capsule Solo, adding water is simple and easy. Water is heavy and might be too heavy for some to lift a jug full of water to shoulder level. Filling water from the top of a dishwasher restricts the height between your counter and cabinet. These are examples of how we consider every detail to make the best design choices.

At Loch Electronics, we focus on building the best products to improve people’s lives whilst saving natural resources. We avoid marketing gimmicks and over-engineering that might seem fancy but are actually inefficient and potentially dangerous.

We’re incredibly grateful to all the backers from our first campaign who went with us on this journey. To thank you for your continuing support we have FlipTray and LochCare as add-ons so you can upgrade your Capsule 1.0.

For meal wash to be possible, Capsule had to be engineered from the ground up to be the fastest dishwasher in the world. Its internal architecture and components allows you to wash dishes with fresh stains in just 15 minutes.

Washing meal by meal as you go will allow you to have clean dishes ready for you as opposed to having dirty dishes pilling up and accumulating bacteria at home.

Life has changed dramatically for many of us in recent years. The pandemic and remote work have contributed to increase isolation, making us feel stuck. To navigate these changes and live the life we desire, sometimes a small change can make a big difference.

We hope Capsule Solo can spark that small change in your life, helping you continue your journey, explore new possibilities, and spend more time with your loved ones.

Capsule is already being used in RVs, motor homes and boats by our backers. If you have any questions about your setup please reach out to hello@lochelectronics.com

Best place for Capsule Solo is right on your countertop so you don’t need to bend down.

Thanks to academic research on manual washing in multiple countries and measuring different styles of washing, we can calculate the advantages of using Capsule.

You could be saving up to £260, €250 or $200 per year from savings in water and energy, depending on the cost for your utilities.

A study revealed that people spend 4,080 hours in a lifetime washing dishes or 98 minutes a week on average. We empirically determined that with Capsule you would spend on average around 4 minutes of your time (not Capsule washing time) as opposed to 16 minutes (4 times longer) when washing by hand.

Capsule Solo’s fruit wash programme is perfect for items that require cold water. In this program, water is not heated. Enjoy washing delicate items safely and efficiently.

Certification cleaning tests are heavily regulated and include some of the toughest stains dishwashers can clean. Here is a summary of the 70-page instruction document so you have an idea of what our Capsule is able to clean.

UHT milk; 10ml; 1.5-2% fat; cook for 4 min at 780W and 10 min at 150W.
Black tea; orange pekoe; 6g in 1 litre of water.
Minced meat and eggs; 1:1 ratio pork and beef; 50g of eggs to every 150g meat.

Egg yolks; 50-65g each egg; at least 7 days old but not past expiry date.
Porridge; 50g of oat flakes with 750ml water and 250ml milk; boil and mix.
Minced spinach; “junger spinat”; defrost and apply with a brush.
Margarine; fat content 75-85%; ambient temperature; apply with a scraper.

Dry all soiled tableware following oven dry method with a thermal cabinet preheated to 80ºC and air dry method in an air conditioned room at 23ºC and 65% relative humidity.

Capsule Vs Capsule Solo

With your feedback over the past three years, we have realised that everyone has very different needs and Capsule is a good match for some but not for all. Similarly to iPhone and iPhone Pro or Samsung Galaxy and Ultra.

Some prefer Capsule packed with advanced features while others prefer a more streamlined version that focuses on core functionality at a more affordable price, without sacrificing the essential benefits of the Capsule Personal Dishwasher.

Capsule Solo is our answer to your feedback which will also allow us to meet a wider range of needs. We will continue to hear your feedback and will introduce new models in the future.

Compared to Capsule 1.0 launched in 2021, our second generation Capsule 2.0 and Capsule 2.0 Solo are the result of our continuous improvement and now feature faster water loading time, lower water consumption, better drying performance, and improved software.

You might notice that Capsule 2.0 and Capsule 1.0 share the same appearance. This follows our environmentally-driven goals. We don’t change the look just as a marketing stunt to make it look new. We don’t change the size so Capsule 1.0 doesn’t become obsolete to new upgrades like FlipTray and you’re forced to buy a new one.

This principle applies to future Capsule Solo owners as well. We’ve designed it to be upgradable and future-proof. As much as we possibly can, we will keep your Capsule Solo current, compatible to new upgrades and sparing parts with newer models.

Set it up next to the sink with one water tank.

Set it up anywhere with two water tanks.

* You can use up to 4 FlipTrays simultaneously inside Capsule Solo; 2 on top, 2 on bottom, according to your needs.

Production begins in December 2024. Shipping will be carried out in batches as our product becomes available out of the production line starting in January 2025. Shipping costs will be collected separately when your reward is ready for dispatch. For more information on shipping please see our FAQ.

We founded Loch Electronics with the aim to provide an alternative solution to people who wish to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. The brands we commonly know are focused on profit. We would’ve liked to see a company focused on people and the environment. We couldn’t find one in this sector, so we created one.

Loch Electronics was incorporated in 2019 with headquarters in Edinburgh, Scotland. “Loch” is the Scottish Gaelic word for “lake.” It reflects the company’s origin and one of the many natural resources we aim to protect. We received support from private and public institutions in Scotland, the United Kingdom and the European Union.

Capsule Personal Dishwasher 1.0 was launched in a crowdfunding campaign in 2021. The campaign broke a new record in Scotland and placed at the top 0.2% worldwide thanks to the support of all the backers around the world who believed in our mission and the value of this product.

Ever since our backers and us started using Capsule, we learned from their feedback and our own experience that having clean dishes at the press of a button brings other important side benefits. It motivates people to eat at home more often, to cook and feel less stressed about it, to have a healthier lifestyle, and to enjoy meals with family and friends. 

Today, we are incredibly excited to continue on this journey and to expand our goals. Our vision is creating positive communities, fostering a positive work environment, creating more opportunities for women to advance their careers and raising awareness about mental health. Our mission is to build a brand that offers the best solutions for a sustainable lifestyle so we can save more lochs (lakes) together.

With this in mind, we’ve listened to all your comments and feedback. We’ve considered requests from many more people who would like to have Capsule at their homes. And today we are launching Capsule Solo.

We hope that you decide to join us on this new journey!

All the love,

Loch Electronics

Risks & Challenges

This is our second Indiegogo project since 2021. During our first Indiegogo project, despite facing significant challenges like Covid-19 disruptions, a war in Europe, and supply chain shortages, we successfully set up production. We are incredibly proud of our team’s proven resilience. Having learned valuable lessons from our first project, we are now much better prepared. However, it’s important to acknowledge that the future always holds some unpredictability. If any issues arise, we promise to keep you updated and work tirelessly to get the project back on track. We never give up.
