Very pleased with this dishwasher.
5/5
Really pleased with this dishwasher, it compares favourably with our old one (11 years old, so didn't do badly)! Things I like about this Hotpoint model: It gets items very clean & dries well; good range of was programmes; very flexible loading with a plate rack that can be used if the cutlery basket is not needed; good capacity; very quiet when running; top basket is height adjustable. Things that could be better: installation instructions are not very clear; the operations manual is badly written - the English is awful; the 3d washing facility can only be used when 1 drawer is in use (at least, that's what I understand from the badly written manual).
There seems to be an indication that the rotary arm hits dinner plates stacked in the bottom basket. Either Hotpoint has made an adjustment, or people who have experienced this problem have exceptionally large dinner plates as I have found there to be more than enough space for even large dishes and plates.
Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.
