I have had this dishwasher now for about 6 months. Delivery was very swift and the Hotpoint man arrived when he said he would (always a major bonus). He was friendly and helpful and plumbed the machine in for me and took all the rubbish away with him! The machine works really well and is nice and quiet too. Actually it is so quiet that when we first had it my partner and I were not sure if it was actually on and we both stood (comedty fashion) bent over with our ears near the machine! The machine has lots of different settings including normal, pre-wash (very useful for very dirty dishes) and intensive. It also (very importantly) has an ECO wash which uses less ...  Read the complete review

Do not buy this machine. The cutlery basket is feeble and holes will very quickly appear in the bottom, allowing your cutlery to fall through and stop the bottom tray sliding in/out. It needs copious amounts of salt and rinse aid even when 3-in-1 tablets are used. Drying is below average and usually incomplete. It is too easy to bump up against the buttons and accidentally change what the machine is doing. Sometimes it gets confused and refuses to enter any programme - you have to give it a couple of minutes to compose itself so that it will then accept a programme! The drain pump on our machine failed after just 3 and a half years. We chose Hotpoint because our ...  Read the complete review

This is a great dishwasher if you like frequent visits from the service man! I have owned mine for approximately 4 years. I choose it because my mother in law had a Hotpoint dishwasher which was circ 15 years old & still going strong. I also liked the streamline appearance, fairly plain front with not too much space given over to operating buttons & controls. As a dishwasher it functions very well on the long hot programme, but not so well if you are after economic or shorter washing cycles, tending to leave some items not cleaned. It breaks down with dependable regularity, our kitchen floor has been flooded several times and we have had a new thermostat, ..  Read the complete review

i think this dishwasher is fantastic, i paid just under 200 for it when it was in the sale and think it is ont of the best things i have ever bought. there is only two of us in the house and it takes a few teas to fill it up so only switch it on every other day if that. I really do rate this product, it looks nice, its quiet and it quick. I must admit i only ever wash the dishes on the 40 degree quick and it gets everything clean first time, i cannot think of any downsides, oh a couple of times i have overfilled the machine and the spinning washing thing hasnt bee able to spin, but thats my fault. I cannot say that i would pay the price that stores such as comet now ask,  Read the complete review

This machine was a great disappointment as it replaced a previous hotpoint machine that had lasted for years. This machine has difficulty washing any dishes that have not been throughly rinsed. Any remnants on dish, plates, cutlery, etc remain attached and dried into the objects. The cutlery basket that comes with the machine is awful as knives, fork handles and tea spoons easily slip through the sides and bottom of the basket and stop the washing arm from turning and cleaning the dishes and this is a major problem with the machine in my opinion as it stops the machine from cleaning properly and I have had to rewash by hand lots of dishes. This problem defeats the ...  Read the complete review
