Must confess I couldn’t live without a dishwasher as life standing at the sink day in day out for hours doesn’t appeal. Needless to say, I love my new dishwasher. It replaces another Hotpoint which I had trouble free for 8 years so it has big boots to fill! I would say its appearance is somewhat retro but its performance and range of programmes are great. It is used 3 x a day effortlessly. The only critical comment I can make is the fanfare to say it’s finished at the end is rather quiet. All in all, I would recommend as essentially the interior/baskets enable ‘you’ to fit all your dirty houseware within reason.
