Hotpoint SDW80 Reviews: Freestanding, 45cm wide, Graphite Dishwasher

+ Reviewer left no comment

- need to watch that plates do not stop spray arm rotating

+ The selection of programmes an temperatures are very extensive.

- The lower basket does not travel on its rails very well if load is not balanced.
This did not stop me buying this product as the overall function made up for this

+ low noise, multi function a good clean design.Easy to install and use.

- the LCD panel displays alot of information which can be confusing if your not used to working eletronic equipment but after awhile you`ll get used to it.

+ the look is very good i can't compair because this is my first one

- none

+ Easy to programme and use. Loads easily and plenty of room even though a slimline washer. Quite enough to run at night so can load up the days wash, with a quick rinse programme to stop food drying on plates.Removal of filters for cleaning is easy as with loading of salt and detergent.

- Only one bad point is that the display stays on, flashing to tell you when the wash cycle is finished, and has to be switched off with on/off button. This is our first dishwasher so nothing to compare with, but beats doing by hand.

+ Plenty of programmes. Like being able to select to wash only 1 basket if I only have a small amount of dishes. Reasonably quiet in operation.

- Not many. Took me a few days to get used to the controls, but after that it was easy to operate.

+ ease of use

- lack of space

+ Main reason i bought this was because it matched the washing machine I'd just bought. I found it just as easy to use as the washing machine as it is very intuitive so much so my partner even managed to work it out with out reading the instructions or me having to tell her what to do

- The only bad point is the upper basket has fold up sections for taller glasses except when you fold them up they don't actually fit in the dishwasher... easily resolved though just by removing them.

+ ITS A GREAT MACHINE.GETS EVERYTHING SPARKLY CLEAN.EASY TO USE.GREAT THAT IT HAS A DELAY TIMER TO USE WHEN ELECTRICITY IS CHEAPER.IT IS FIRST DISHWASHER THAT I HAVE OWNED AND IT IS BRILLIENT.GET ONE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

- SHOULD COME WITH SOMEONE TO LOAD /UNLOAD IT.SERIOUSLY HAVE FOUND NO BAD POINTS AS YET.

+ It seems fairly quiet (compared to my old one at least,) and there are a lot of cycle options. Seems to be able to fit in all but the largest cooking pots which is nice for a slimline washer.

- Cycle options can be a little confusing to start with, but after a couple of weeks you get used to it.

+ cleans well,looks good,quiet

- on off button,have to press it quite hard.

+ The machine is quite simple to operate and quiet to run.

- The first machine delivered did not work & was replaced. The manual gives it an A rating for drying which is inaccurate, nothing is dry.

+ great so far. amazingly quiet and gets everything very clean

- bottom drawer can sometimes slide back into the machine as you try to load it

+ Very quiet, very good performance very Quiet, nice size, easy to use

- The contol panel is a bit hit and miss, when turning on and off you have to either press the on button really hard or really softly

+ Choice of programs

- Control buttons. They sometimes have to be pressed several times before they register.

+ I absolutely love it and wished I had bought one sooner.

- None so far

+ Being able to use a half load programme. Very pleased with the dishwasher

- A little noisier than I expected

+ EASY TO USE . COMPACT & EFFICENT

- NONE

- The buttons you press to turn the machine on are rubbish you have to really hold the buttons in so much infact your fingers are marked with the shape of the button. It is a nightmare just trying to turn the dishwasher on it takes ages.

+ Can fit it quite alot of dishes considering it's a slim line product - looks good/stylish

- Dishes rarely come out all clean, cutlery streaky, and even on hottest cycle with longest drying time i've yet to have a load come out dry

- Doesn't clean very well

+ LCD operation is simple and easy to view.. Controls are child-proof and is quiet whilst working.... The inside mechanisms keep themselves very clean... Low maintainance required for filters..... Very easy, loading and unloading.....

- Lower basket occasionally gets stuck trying to withdraw from its operating position.. Upper basket lowering position is operated by special side clips which is very difficult to manipulate if you're not a man!!! (ha-ha ! )

+ yes it is reliable and resonably priced

- a little noisy

+ Despite some comments - seems well made and sturdy.
There are a lot of programme settings to choose from.
The wash is good.
It is very, very quiet, several people have commented on this!
The machine is straight forward to use.

- For a slimline dishwasher no real bad points the only comments that you could make are -
The pull out of the top drawer is a little stiff
and the top shelf is a little small - not a problem in itself as it will take a days dishes comfortably.

+ stylish, quiet with great results

- none

+ Good instructions, easy to use programming, quiet, good capacity for a slimline machine

- None so far

+ Efficient and easy to use

- Drawers fairly light and flimsy

+ Cycle choice and low noise levels. We find the 40 minute ecconomy cycle generally fits our usual load.
