What makes this model worth comparing?
COMFEE identifies the CDC17P2AWW as its 6-liter tank countertop model. It supports tank filling or a faucet supply, and includes an automatic door-opening drying feature on supported programs. Those are useful differences to investigate if you want an alternative to the HAVA R01.
We have not tested either machine’s cleaning or drying. Our recommendation is to compare their routines, not assume that an additional feature guarantees a better result. A door that opens automatically is also a reason to think about where the appliance will sit.
Check the model code, not the program count
Retail headings can combine wash programs with additional functions. The manual’s control guide distinguishes Normal, Baby Care, Glass, Rapid and Fruit programs from Auto Open and UV options. Read what a function actually does before treating a bigger number on the listing as more useful choices.
The tank holds 6 liters. That is a reservoir specification, not a measurement of how much water you personally save. Your filling routine and chosen program still matter. Its manual also states that this model does not support rinse aid—do not add it simply because another dishwasher uses it.
A dimension discrepancy needs attention
If your space is generous, the discrepancy may not change your shortlist. If your available space is close, ask for the current US version’s installation drawing and confirm the exact item being sold. Allow for filling access and the open door as well as the closed body.
Who should shortlist it?
Consider it if manual tank filling suits you and you want to examine an auto-open option. Keep looking if your hard limit is an 18-inch opening, or if an opening door would interfere with your workspace. Our water-setup guide helps separate these priorities.
Compare it with the HAVA R01 research review, then inspect the current seller and model code. The separate CDC22P2AWW has a different capacity and supply arrangement; it is covered in its own review.
