I think this is a very good dishwasher it cleans very well however both top and bottom trays are identical in in height and you can only fit plates that are 9 and 1/2 inches tall

cant put juice glasses in,they fall over.can put just 6 tall plates in one side more than that and top arm doesn't spin.feels like downgrade from my 8 year old dishwasher.very unhappy with it .

Cleans well but you need to read the brochure to see that some cycles don't dry. Obvious enough when you know that. Also make sure that the salt dispenser is full of water before you try your first load. Quiet and efficient.

This dishwasher is excellent value for money. It looks good, is easy to use, it does a good job of washing dishes and it is VERY quiet. I have only used the two shorter programmes so far and they are fine. The delay timer is really useful especially if you have cheaper electricity overnight and very simple to set just by clicking 30 minute increments. It doesn't have a specific drying function as my previous one did but the residual heat drying is good enough. Very happy with it and nothing I don't like.

OK this machine is incredibly quiet, BUT I'm totally disappointed at the distance between bottom and top draws. It is just not big enough for normal sized dinner plates, so top rotation arm hits the plates. It has to be stacked with a maximum of 4 dinner plates at the sides to allow the arm to rotate. Shame they didn't lift the top draw by half an inch. Other than that, it's a good machine.

Needed a new dishwasher after our aging Siemens stopped working. After an internet search (and being very pleased with our Hotpoint washing machine) settled on this one. Arrived well packaged. On the plus side it looks very good and is really quiet when running. BUT.... the baskets are absolutely appalling. 1. Really flimsy design. 2. The top basket has a height adjustable function using a couple of orange tabs at each side. Unfortunately, these release the basket during most cycles which allows the top basket to drop down and jams the spray arm on the plates in the lower one! 3. The prongs which should hold the crockery upright for washing are set far too close together for everyday plates, bowls (e.g. Denby). You can hardly get them in without bending them and then the crockery does not wash as it's too close together! 4. There are no prongs for tall glasses (e.g. high ball or pint glasses) so they fall over constantly during a cycle! Hotpoint customer services simply do not want to know when I complained about the design. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!

Brilliant machine, super easy to use and the quick wash is an absolute bonus especially given the current economic climate. Very happy with the machine and highly recommend it.

Excellent product for the price.
