Living off-grid doesn’t mean you have to hand-scrub greasy pans anymore.
Loch Electronics has officially launched the Capsule Solo, a compact countertop dishwasher that doesn’t require plumbing, fits on a table, and uses up to 86% less water than washing by hand.
Originally a crowdfunding sensation, Loch’s Capsule series has now gone mainstream, and the new Solo model is its most accessible yet.
Designed for tight living quarters like campervans, micro-cabins, tiny homes, rentals, and student flats, the Solo has an internal water tank, stainless steel build, and eco-friendly washing tech packed into a box no bigger than a microwave.
It’s also the only compact dishwasher on the market with a stainless steel interior, which improves drying, reduces energy use, and eliminates the funky plastic smell most mini washers struggle with.
The adjustable rack, high-efficiency spray system and energy-conscious heating make it ideal for solo dwellers or couples looking to reduce waste on the road.
While the original Capsule dishwasher (£399.99/ $459.99/ €459.99) still exists, with added perks such as UV sanitation, rinse aid, more wash modes, and optional hose connection, the new Solo is all about simplicity, portability, and off-grid practicality.
From Kickstarter hit to van-life hero
After starting life as Scotland’s most successful crowdfunded product, the company is now positioning itself as a sustainable appliance brand for modern lifestyles, and its new website reflects that evolution.
We’re betting this won’t just be a hit with eco-minded apartment dwellers, but also van-lifers, digital nomads and adventurers with a 240V hookup might have just found their next essential appliance.
The Capsule Solo is available now via Loch’s official website and Amazon UK for a recommended price of £349.99/ $399.99/ €399.99 (~AU$722.63).
