AQUA Dishwashers "ADW-L40B" and "ADW-M28B" Launched, Achieving High Washing Power with Approximately Half the Water Usage of Conventional Models

Aqua Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Jingguo Du) will launch the large-capacity tabletop dishwasher "ADW-L40B" and the slim model "ADW-M28B," which support both tank-type and split-faucet water supply methods, on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. AQUA dishwashers forcefully spray high-temperature, high-pressure water streams as the upper and lower nozzles rotate 360 degrees, thoroughly washing away grease and dirt that are difficult to remove by hand. Furthermore, one of their features is higher water-saving efficiency than handwashing, as they accumulate a small amount of water, circulate it like a fountain for washing, and replace the water only during rinsing. The latest models, released this time, offer an increased choice of "water supply methods" and even better "water-saving performance." By newly adding the "tank-type" water supply method, which does not require construction, in addition to the previously adopted "split-faucet type," installation is now possible to suit various living environments. In addition, through water flow control, the water usage per cycle is approximately 5L (※1) for "ADW-L40B" and approximately 4.5L (※1) for "ADW-M28B." This represents a successful reduction in water usage per cycle by about half compared to our conventional models (approx. 10L to 10.5L) (※2). With these products, equipped with high cleaning power and water-saving performance, household chores can be made more efficient. ※1: Water usage per cycle for the tank-type method. For the split-faucet type, "ADW-L40B" uses approximately 6.8L and "ADW-M28B" uses approximately 6L. ※2: Conventional model "ADW-L4A" uses approximately 10.5L of water, and "ADW-GM3" uses approximately 10L of water. ## Main Product Features * **Cleaner than handwashing! Supports both "tank-type" for immediate use after purchase & convenient "split-faucet type" for automatic water supply.** * Upper and lower nozzles rotate 360 degrees, forcefully spraying high-temperature, high-pressure water streams. Powerful water streams not only blast away stubborn dirt during washing and rinsing but also provide sterilization (※9). Washing with hot water up to approximately 75°C allows for thorough cleaning of greasy stains, which are difficult to remove by hand, leaving dishes sparkling clean. * Furthermore, the water supply method can now be chosen from two types to suit living environments: "tank-type," which does not require split-faucet installation work and can be used immediately after purchase, and "split-faucet type," which is hassle-free with automatic water supply. * [Image] * [Tank-type] and [Split-faucet type] * ※9: Testing organization / Japan Food Research Laboratories, Test method / Agar plate culture method, Sterilization method / High-temperature wash water jet, Sterilization target / Dishes inside the cabinet, Test result / 99% or more reduction in bacteria, Test number / 26002307001-0101 (standard course only). Sterilization effect may vary depending on the type, shape, arrangement of dishes, and degree of dirt. * **Achieves even greater water saving! 40 dishes (※3) equivalent to 5 servings can be washed with approximately 1/15 (※5) the water usage of handwashing.** * Handwashing requires a large amount of rinsing water, but dishwashers accumulate a small amount of water and circulate it like a fountain for washing. During rinsing, the water is replaced, and with less foaming, high water-saving efficiency is achieved. Because it is used daily, it is designed to be environmentally friendly and economical for households. * ※3: ADW-L40B [40 dishes, 20 small items], ADW-M28B [28 dishes, 8 small items] (according to Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association voluntary standards). * ※4: Handwashing: 40 dishes, 20 small items, water temperature 20°C. After soaking in 10L of hot water (approx. 40°C), washing with 9.6mL of detergent (1 bottle of 315mL costs 164 yen (tax included) [according to Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association survey]), and rinsing for 13.5 seconds per dish and 5.5 seconds per small item at 6L per minute, total water usage is approx. 75L. . * ※5: ADW-L40B [standard course (hot air drying)]: 40 dishes, 20 small items, water temperature 20°C. Using 10g of dishwasher detergent (1 box of 600g costs 475 yen (tax included) [according to our company's survey]). Water usage approx. 5.0L (when using tank-type) / approx. 6.8L (when connected to split-faucet). Electricity usage approx. 640Wh (when using tank-type) / approx. 660Wh (when connected to split-faucet). * ※6: Guideline unit price for electricity charges 31 yen/kWh (tax included) [according to Fair Trade Council of Home Appliance Manufacturers. As of July 2022.]. Water charges: 137 yen/㎥ (tax included), sewage charges 125 yen/㎥ (tax included) [according to Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association survey], gas charges (city gas) guideline unit price: 222 yen/㎥ (tax included) [according to our company's survey]. * ※7: Handwashing: 28 dishes, 8 small items, water temperature 20°C. After soaking in 10L of hot water (approx. 40°C), washing with 1 bottle of 315mL. (Truncated text)
