Pots, pans and that casserole dish which never quite fits, this Hotpoint freestanding full size dishwasher swallows the lot. The Maxi Space tub gives you up to 10% more usable loading area than Hotpoint models with a standard tub, measured as the total loading space across all three racks. With 15 place settings to fill, it suits larger households running a full load most days.

When food has really baked on, 3D Zone Wash uses up to 80% more water power on average than running the same cycle without it switched on. Auto Programmes offer preset cycles to suit different loads, while Extra Dry finishes with a hot rinse so moisture evaporates off the plates. No tea towel needed, which is rather nice.
