The overall rating of a review is different from a simple average of all individual ratings.
Advantages:
Hotpoint has a great warranty and very reliable . This machine has 12 place settings and operates really quietly . It is easy to install if the fitments are already in place
Disadvantages:
Not as good as our last hotpoint as regards the baskets they don't seem to hold as much
Hotpoint is a great make as the parts and labour warranty is usually better than any other make and the reliability is brilliant - we had our last Hotpoint for 12 years without any problem.
We've haD this one about 18 months and it's been on every day and we've had no problems at all.
The design is modern and easy to keep clean. There are lots of settings to choose from, from pre-wash to intense to economy and a half-load option (just top basket wash). It can even tell you if it has a fault (i.e. blocked filter) by flashing a particular combination of lights (detailed in booklet). The top basket is adjustable so that it can be lowered or raised to accomodate large items in top or bottom basket. We find the top basket to lack options and can't fit as much in as with the old dishwasher. The cutlery basket has large side holes that allow spoon handles etc. to poke through if you aren't careful, and will stop the bottom spray arm from rotating. There is no exposed heating element in the bottom, so you won't melt any plastic handled items if they end up in the bottom, as often happen with our old one. Overall a good efficient dishwasher.

Advantages: Gets some quite stubborn dirt off dishes with ease. Does its job. WELL!! Disadvantages: Drying can take sometime which is a downfall, and would not call this a quiet wash.
