Heinrich's HTG 8841: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Fruit mode: a 19 min programme rinses fruit & vegetables without detergent, unique in the class
- 5 L water tank: operation completely without a plumbed-in water connection possible
- Very compact: only 42.8 × 42.8 × 45.8 cm, fits anywhere
- Low annual consumption: 38 kWh/year despite class F
- Germ-free mode: 70 °C for baby tableware and sterilising
- Hot-Air-Storage: up to 72 h of antibacterial storage after drying
- Hot air drying: active, not just residual heat
Points of criticism
- Efficiency class F: a result of the small capacity
- 60 dB noise level: comparatively loud, audible in open kitchens
- Only 2 place settings: too small for 3+ people
- No auto programme: the comfort of full-size appliances is missing
- Made in China: despite a German brand name

Build quality & everyday use
What carries the Heinrich's HTG 8841 in everyday use: fruit mode (a 19 min programme rinses fruit & vegetables without detergent, unique in the class) and 5 L water tank (operation completely without a plumbed-in water connection possible). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: efficiency class F, a result of the small capacity.
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.

- Duration
- 19 minutes
- Function
