A filtering device and a tableware washing apparatus, the filtering device includes a rotary filter and a drive assembly. The rotary filter includes a columnar filtering screen configured to filter water from a washing process of the tableware washing apparatus; wherein a diameter of an external circle defined by each mesh of the columnar filtering screen is between 0.2 to 0.5 mm. The drive assembly is connected to the rotary filter and configured to drive the columnar filtering screen to rotate relative to contents within the columnar filtering screen at a relative speed of 100 to 1000 r/min, for separating at least a portion of residue on the columnar filtering screen from the columnar filtering screen.

A heat pump dishwasher includes a chassis and a heat pump system. A liquid collecting groove is provided at an upper side of the chassis. The heat pump system includes an evaporator and a compressor, both the evaporator and the compressor are installed at the chassis, and the compressor is installed at the liquid collecting groove. Condensed water may be collected, and condensation water may be avoided in the liquid collecting groove and may reduce the corrosion of the liquid collecting groove and may reduce interruptions to the operation of electrical components.
