Bomann TSG 5701: what works, what doesn't?

What works well

  • 5-litre tank: complete independence from a plumbed-in water connection
  • 5 programmes: Eco, Normal, Intensive, Quick, Glass
  • Delay start 1 to 24 h: washing at night or off-peak tariff is possible
  • Stainless steel interior: instead of cheap plastic in this price class
  • 5 L water use: compared with 40 to 60 L when washing by hand
  • Aquastop & overflow protection: solid safety features

Points of criticism

  • Energy class G: Mini devices are generally less efficient than 60 cm machines
  • 58 dB noise level: noticeable in an open-plan kitchen in the evening (Klarstein Amazonia 6: 49 dB)
  • Only 2 place settings: wash more often in 2-person households
  • Tank must be filled manually: awkward with heavy use
  • No app connection: no smart home integration

What does it cost to run?

At 0.40 kWh per cycle, one use at 35 ct/kWh (German electricity price) costs about 14 cents. If you run one cycle a day, that comes to around €51 in electricity a year.

Calculation basis: 35 ct/kWh (German electricity price, 2026, rounded). Values from the manufacturer data sheet; actual costs depend on use and tariff.

Build quality & everyday use

What carries the Bomann TSG 5701 in everyday use: 5-litre tank (complete independence from a plumbed-in water connection) and 5 programmes (Eco, Normal, Intensive, Quick, Glass). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: energy class G, since mini devices are generally less efficient than 60 cm machines.

If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.

“Bomann TSG 5701 mini dishwasher: 5-litre tank and 5 programmes, and the trade-off is energy class G. At 8.6/10 a safe choice from €370.”

Frequently asked questions about the Bomann TSG 5701

Do I absolutely need a plumbed-in water connection for the TSG 5701?
No. The device has a built-in 5-litre water tank that is filled manually. It therefore works anywhere there is a 230 V socket, including rented flats without a dishwasher connection, in a motorhome or on a boat. If you have a plumbed-in water connection, you can also use it via the supplied hose.
How many place settings really fit in?
Officially 2 place settings according to the IEC standard, which means dishes for about 2 people per wash.
How loud is the TSG 5701 really?
Officially 58 dB(A), which falls in noise emission class D and corresponds to a quiet conversation. In an open kitchen the device is clearly audible while washing; if you want to watch TV in the evening, you should delay the wash cycle to later with the start delay.
Which tablets suit the TSG 5701?
All common branded tablets (Finish All-in-1, Somat Excellence, own brands from German supermarkets such as Edeka or Rewe) work. With hard water, adding salt via the built-in salt compartment is recommended.
Can I wash pans or large pots?
No. The interior dimensions are designed for plates up to about 25 cm in diameter. Coated pans over 28 cm and larger pots do not fit. If you regularly need to wash large items, you should go for the Klarstein Amazonia 6 with 6 place settings.
What happens in a power cut in the middle of a programme?
After power is restored, the TSG 5701 automatically resumes the programme where it was interrupted. Aquastop protects against water damage if hoses leak in tank mode.
