Advantages: Looks nice

Disadvantages: Breaks down a lot

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, new spinning arm, two new door seals, new inner door, & two new pump motors. Hotpoint after care service is very good & engineers are normally able to call at least next day or on one occasion the same day. I thoroughly recommend an extended warranty once first year warranty expires!

Summary: Good dishwasher if it were more reliable
