Gota, is a compact, eco-friendly dishwasher that's small enough to fit on a table-top or counter-top. Designed by Ibsen Caldas, the Gota is highly functional and stunning to look at.

Like all great design, the Gota solves a real problem--households with two or fewer people in residence do not need full-sized dishwashers. For these households, full-sized dishwashers are a waste of space, energy and water; all precious commodities in today's day and age. Not only does the gorgeous Gota reduce the amount of space, energy and water needed by a dishwasher, it goes a step further by recycling and storing water internally:

In its pre-wash cycle the dishwasher steams up the dishes and recycles the cooled down residual H2O for the later-on cycles. That’s a neat way of conserving water for a pint-sized washer! The body of the Gota is crafted from ABS polycarbonate and the internal tank stores sufficient enough water for a round of cleaning.
