Advantages: Reasonably good until it broke after 4 months
Disadvantages: Unrelilable, awful customer services from Hotpoint

...called Comet who said because Hotpoint had replaced a part it was their responsbibility, so I called Hotpoint who said it was down to Comet. I've just spent over an hour trying to get them to decide who's problem it is, being bouced backwards and forwards between the two companies. My extended warranty is worthless, and I now have a piece of scrap metal in my kitchen with nobody taking responsibility for it. I've asked for Hotpoint to call me back ...
...didn't get anywhere, so they offered to replace the dishwasher themselves. I took my Hotpoint back last night and paid some extra money to get a Bosch one instead. I'll never buy Hotpoint again after all this, but a big thanks to Comet for helping me out. ... Read review

...includes the specail cycles. The hotpoint washer also runs very quite. you wouldn't even no it was there.I found the easy touch digital buttons an advantage, and also finishes the machine of with that modern look. Also just thought i'd add this as i never had a dish washer before this one. i still thought you had to add seperate rinse aid .. salt .. tablets. But you don't. Now these days you can buy 3 in 1 tablets that do the whole lot for you ... Read review

Advantages: Quiet
Disadvantages: only top drawer half load wash

This is the first dishwasher that I have owned and so as a novice to the functionality of a dishwasher I find this one easy to use and does the job. It has a half load option that just washes the top drawer (usually cups and glasses), although after using it for a few weeks now I would rather a half load just washed the bottom drawer as I tend to run out of plates and pans before cups, but that's something to remember for the next machine I buy (i ...
...or bottom drawer wash but everwhere had sold out and i was constantly being mucked about by sainsburys appliances, eventually leading me to go to currys to get the FDW60). As i'm still learning on how best to place items there have been a few items (large serving/mixing spoons and baking dishes that are ceramic not pyrex) that have needed rewashing, but that is most likely my fault and not a design fault. There is one problem that i have found, ... Read review

Advantages: very good wash results
Disadvantages: No rinse aid level indicator

...is my opinion of my Hotpoint Dishwasher. I purchased this about four months ago from a local independent dealer priced at £220. My decision to purchase hotpoint was quite simple I already have a washing machine, fridge and freezer from them and have been pleased with the quality. Firstly I have to say that the cleaning performance of the machine is exceptional. The dishwasher has the same 5 standard programmes that most manufacturers provide. Quite ...
...little awkward or restrictive. My Hotpoint machine certainly does not have this problem. As far as maintenance of the machine goes, Hotpoint have made this reasonably easy. The dishwasher salt container has got a simple indicator devise that tells you instantly. without having to climb inside the machine, when it needs topping up. The only disappointing thing is that this courtesy was not extended to the rinse aid dispenser. The only way of checking ... Read review

Advantages: Quiet, efficient cleaning
Disadvantages: More expensive than other brands

Neff Dishwasher S54M45 When we recently replaced our kitchen we were faced with a couple of tricky decisions regarding our existing appliances. The fridge and cooker were no brainers because they were both well past their sell by dates (although I did get £50 for the fridge on eBay). The washing machine and dishwasher posed bigger problems. Both are Bosch and less than four years old and both appeared to be still in fine condition. Ultimately we ...
...to go with it. Neff are a German manufacturer with a reputation for making good quality, reliable kitchen appliances and then retailing them at reasonable prices. They are mainly available through kitchen suppliers but are also available on line. Our kitchen supplier quoted us £450 for this one and we were unable to beat this so added it to the order. Specifications ~ The S54M45 is a full size, fully integrated dishwasher. This means it will fit ... Read review
