Shaun, Rotherham

+ Works extremely well. Has a timer for economy (night time) electricity. Easy to load and use.
Unlike other integrated dish washers etc., the user supplied front wood panel (part of our kitchen units, ane take off the old dishwasher) was EXTREMELY easy to fit!!

- Installation was slightly harder than it could have been, in our case.
There were rather sharp edges on the top of this "integrated" unit, so be sure to wear heavy gloves when installing. Also there are only three legs, rather than four. The central rear leg height is hard to adjust, requiring a tamper proof ("star") screw to be removed. The mains cable and water pipes could have done with being just a little longer.

+ Very quiet.

- Difficult to clean filter. Cutlery basket to small. Cutlery rack get in way when loading top basket. Dishs difficult to place in securly as not enough suport to hold them especialy sweet/soup plates. Dishes tend to fall against each other often resulting in a dirty wash.A Big disapointment.

Peter, Fir Tree

+ Excellent wash and dry performance compared other machines of a higher price. If you have a false drawer Hoover will send an extra bracket which makes the unit feel like it will last.

- Can't get large plates in machine for some reason without falling over although standard dinner plates are fine. Fitting door was time consuming but solid.

Brian, Culross , “engineer with young family”

+ The capacity of this machine is HUGE which means that we only need to run this one every other day during the week. Great for the eco-saver but not good when you are looking for the odd clean cup or plate to use in the meantime. The internal baskets are well made and the top one can be set in two height positions giving the machine the capability to take a wide range of crockery and pots and pans all at the same time. This machine has obviously been designed for big families or to deal with large dinner parties.

- The lower basket doesn't have the traditional plate holders you find on most other machines which means that you need to carefully arrange the dishes in order to prop them against each other or they will fall over. You also need to get into the habit of setting out the dishes as they go in or you will need to rearrange the load before you switch it on. I therefore don't think that half loads are practical unless more plate supports were made available as an additional accessory.

+ Several programs including half load and quick wash. It is a lot quieter than other machines I've had, you hardly notice that the machine is on.

- It does not seem to dry all the dishes completely after the cycle, there is always some water left. The standard program takes 100 min but the Ecological program takes 150 mins.

+ Very quiet. Be careful, as it's so big it can take a long while to fill up and therefore leave you short of items to use in the meantime. However, this does save having to do two loads. Loads well but the plates have to sit as an odd angle which can be a bit difficult. Cutlery holder very good as are the two areas at the top to put larger items.

- Not too good on a short wash so need to fill it and wait. Is quite expensive compared to others and not sure if the extra money is worth it - don't know what you get for the extra money.

+ Low noise, large capacity, very easy to fit door panel, washes quickly and well when the dishwasher tablet is released.

- Small cutlery basket with no obvious location. The dishwasher tablet doesn't always exit, this is definitely due to the small size of the tablet container but also may be due to the new plastic ones that may dissolve and stick to the container, this is a major nuisance.
