Hoover HEDS668S Reviews: Freestanding, 45cm wide, Multi Dishwasher

+ Compact

- No place for large knives

+ efficient with easy to follw instructions

- none noticed

+ I like the quick wash and variety of cycles.

- I do not like the top shelf...really difficult to load cups and glasses...they keep falling over (and yes we have followed the instructions). It also doesn't dry well, probably as a result of not being loaded properly. It also gets through a lot of rinse aid even though I have adjusted the level. Not easy to close the door...you have to really push and the whole machine moves.

- The most frustrating thing about this machine is that dinner plates do not fit into either of the shelves. A very basic and poor design fault. I am very disappointed with it. There is a lot of residue left on things too.

+ I like the slimline and the lack of noise.

- My plates are too large to fit in the dishwasher

+ Excellent Product

- Nothing bad to say about this machine

+ It's an inexpensive product therefore the appliances are not very robust and it is also a bit loose-fitted. However, the good point is the price, which is excellent for a AAA rating dishwasher

- Noisy

+ Very easy to use lots of choice of cycles

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Excellent overall performance for both cleaning and drying. Simple to use, does what it says. End result very pleasing.

- None yet. Only thing would say is that if the top rack is placed on its highest position to allow for large dinner plates etc. on bottom rack then limited for tall glasses etc on top rack so need to think about how loaded - but no problem.

+ Cleans well

- Noisy.

+ Simple controls
Cleans well

- Instructions not clear
Loading diagrams very unhelpful
Lower basket has a very irritating habit of running back into the machine during loading.

+ It means that my very expensive dishwasher no longer has to do the washing up, and can relax even more.

- The tablet we use does not always disolve, although Hoover would agrue it is not the tablet we should use, it contains all the salt and other stuff.

+ Easy to use. No initial problems. Good slimline machine. Contents squeaky clean.

- Quite noisy but so are most other machines in the price range.
Poor english used in some sections of instruction leaflet so had to read instructions very carefully

+ It's slimline and offers a wide variety of wash cycles.

- The salt light won't go off despite being full.

+ Ease of use. A full wash can take as little as 25 minutes.

- None found yet.

+ salt and rinse aid indicator. Small enough for a single person to fill easily without having to wait too long between washes

- Bottom basket slides in on own while trying to load.Pre rinse is quite noisey. No delay start button and can't use it on a 24hr timer plug

+ Simple to use and a good basic slimline for the price.

- Hoover need to write a clear manual.
Normal family sized plates have to be stacked on the bottom shelf and at the back otherwise they clip the rotation water dispensing blade.

+ Easy to use, simple controls

- Smaller than some other slimline dishwashers

+ Very good cleaning performances, dishes and glasses are sparkling. Inspite of being a small dishwasher I can load it with our daily dishes of 4 people. The eco cycle is short and does not use much water.

- A little bit noisy

+ It does all I expect of it. The buttons and dial are very clear and easy to use and I like that it gives you a little beeping noise to let you know it's done.

+ It is a slim fitting and went in easily. Washes fairly quickly and lets you know when it has finished but it isn't too noisy at all so you hear a beep only at the end.

- Not sure it was value for money however, after the expenses of installation, it also is slimmer fitting than my previous machine and therefore far less can go into it and therefore I need to use the machine twice a day, which is costly. I have also noticed that it requires more detergent than my previous machine, therefore more costly.

+ It fits into the space that my old machine was in.

- Adjusting shelf heights to accommodate larger plateds on the bottom means that stemmed glasses don't fit o hte top shelf!

+ it is really very good all round .

- sometimes it does not get all the food off the forks and knives

+ It meets every criteria that I bought it for. It fits snuggly into the small space that I have for a dishwasher and it does for the two of us I am happy with this product. looks good and produces everything that I expected of it. May it have a long and useful life.

- as yet I haven't found a perfect dishwasher.

+ deep cutlery tray

- booklet does not explain fully beeps and how to change upper basket height

+ slim and tidy and works well

- none

+ value, quiet, extra space at top shelf

- limited space and arrangement at bottom shelf

- Dinner plates DO NOT FIT! Just a small design fault, but any size dinner plates don't allow the spray thing doesn't rotate

+ Effective, quiet, works well on ecological washing tablets, excellentt cleaning & drying

- You can't fit dinner plates (even smallish ones in it although I've had this problem with all my slimline dishwashers)

+ easy to use.

- the handle for the cutlery is too big,get's in way at time's.
the loading racks could be better.
bottom rack need's closer mesh for resting item's on.

+ Looks good, good choice of wash cycles, quiet.

- The only other dishwasher I have owned, was a Hoover which I had for 18 years of untroubled service. This new Hoover dishwasher does not compare as far as loading dishes/capacity is concerned.
Unable to load large dinner plates, as the spray arm is set too low, and the layout is from side to side whereas in my other one, it was from front to rear. Large items (plates) that are stored in the bottom basket catch against the spray arm when the bottom basket is pulled out for additional items to be stored. You have to pull out the top basket as well, to allow access to the bottom basket. Very annoying. Lets the machine down.

+ Good short wash and sparkling clean

- Position of space in kitchen meant extended hose - a bit complicated to install.
Also had to raise the upper tray to make space for my dinner plates.

+ looks good and washes well.

- would have liked a larger dishwasher but not the space.Cannot get saucepans etc, in the same wash.

+ Just does what it says on the tin - a dishwasher......

+ nice size, useful salt & rinse indcator, good choice of cycle times and programs

- not the cheapest machine on the market. Dishes sometimes remain dirty and sometimes remain wet

+ quiet and cleans well

- no delay start function

+ Choice of cycles
cleaning is excellent so far but only used it for 7 days so far

- noise maybe a put off as dog goes loopy during the night even tho the kitchen door is shut tight

- Most items washed need to go through again unless you send it half empty, regret the day I bought and should have bought a Siemens which was the make of my last one!!!

- All I can say is it's not a patch on my Bosch that I had before

+ Very good product highly satisfied

- none

+ Quiet machine, good choice of wash cycles, excellent value for money

- some of the wash cycles don't clean properly, the 'rapid' cycle is useless!

+ V. good for small family. cleans well. like the salt and glass indicators.

+ convenient size

- large plates catch the top sprayer. have to organise the bottom tray carefully + check the top spray will spin.
