Washing up by hand eats into your evening, so hand the job over to this Hisense slimline freestanding dishwasher. It takes 10 place settings, so a Sunday roast's worth of plates, glasses and roasting tins can all go in at once, with the cutlery tray up top keeping forks out of the way of your bigger pans. It runs at 45dB, which is about the level of a soft whisper, so you can pop it on while you're watching telly in the next room. 5 spray zones fire water at the load from different angles, and a wash uses up to 8.5L of water, depending on which of the 6 programmes you pick. When it's done, the door swings ajar by itself so steam can escape and fresh air gets in, leaving your glasses dry rather than dripping.
