Yup.  Smaller but not less functional. One neat gadget is a countertop
¨dishwasher you fill with 1/2 galling water and a bit of dishwashing soap
tha ¨then cleans the dishes. Little drain at the bottom leads to the sink. 
It's not ¨much bigger than a drying rack for dishes.  They have models that
use 4 C cell ¨batteries if you do not have an outlet.
