Hisense HS643D60XUK 16 Place Settings Freestanding Standard Dishwasher, Silver - Auto Dry Automatic door opening - D Rated, 598 x 599 x 846 mm (L x W x H) [Energy Class D] [Energy Class D]

Purchased as I needed a replacement for my old dishwasher that stopped working. I didn't want to spend too much and this one seemed to fit the bill for a speedy, cost-effective replacement. I've had it three months now and I'm really pleased with it. HIGHLIGHTS... It's super quiet (hardly even notice it's on) / sleek minimal design / digital control panel (in top of door) is really easy to use / cleans well / ...my favourite feature is the cutlery tray at the top, which eliminates the need for a cutlery basket and cleans the cutlery better. There is a slight price to pay for the cutlery tray though - it takes up a couple of inches of vertical space, which means that you need to make a choice between large plates and tall glasses. In order to accommodate plates over 25cm without the spinny-washer-arm-thingy hitting them, you need to move the upper basket higher (there are two heights you can have it at and it's easy to move the basket from one height to another). But that then means you won't get tall glasses in the upper basket. So there's a choice to me made. Personally, I prefer handwashing nice glassware anyway so it's not an issue for me, but it's something to be aware of. There are reviews that mention various problems and error codes, but I've not had any issues in three months, and the manual explains how to deal with any error codes. As for people saying items come out wet, I think that's just something that happens with any dishwasher if you open the door too soon after the cycle has ended. I always leave mine untouched for an hour after it's finished and everything is perfectly dry by then. Performance-wise, everything I put in comes out sparkling clean (I mainly use the 90 min cycle). The colour is a very cool white (almost with a slight grey tinge) so maybe something to bear in mind if you have warm white/cream kitchen units. I don't think you can get better at this price point, and I'm happy to recommend it.

Perfect Dishwasher fits into space previously used for drawers. Attached to hot water outlet that was spare, using hot water feed from a up to date combi Boiler does save on energy consumption as tracked through my smart meter.Did need to do some simple DIY as location of Dishwasher meant feeding pipes and cables through a cabinet side support.On to the machine itself. Delivered in perfect working order, delivery team even put in the Kitchen for me.Super easy to set up, it's worth mentioning it's a must to read the user instructions to get the best out of the dishwasher.1st time use and both cleaned and dried perfectly. So far I'm very happy with this purchase.Edit: After a week of use I have come to the conclusion I should have had one of these years ago. Compared to handwashing dishes with this I can load the dishwasher with used plates etc and wash overnight or when the cheapest electric rate is in effect, Energy consumption is on a [par with hand washing dishes, I use mainly eco programme and this machine performs extremely well.Connecting to the hot water feed also helps reduce consumption, so I would advise if you have that option then do so.Still very happy with my purchase.

My old dishwasher gave up the ghost and departed to the scrap heap in the sky.After a bit of research we settled on this dishwasher, it cleans really well and has a number of useful programmes.Considering this is a lower cost dishwasher it's a pretty good machine with a decent build quality.The LED display is easy to read and the controls are fairly straight forward.As with pretty much every dishwasher I found it was quite easy to install and fits in a standard kitchen undertop "gap".I think the value for money is excellent with this unit and it's a lot quieter than my old one.However, as you would expect there are a few minor issues that come with lower cost.The advert did state an LED light inside, but this model doesn't have one.Maybe it's me but I really can't see the need for one anyway.The upper racks can be a little temperamental.The side areas have little shelves, like the ones that hold smaller cups or glasses in place.However, they don't tend to stay in place so I don't bother using them.The course filter is a little small, make sure you give it a good clean to avoid it blocking otherwise it could cause an error during the cycle.Cleaning is super easy so it shouldn't be a problem.It has a hot water feed which is great, unless like us you have a combi boiler.It is more efficient to use the cold feed and let the dishwasher heat it up, otherwise it's dragging a huge amount of water through before it heats up.Despite those small issues, this is a decent dishwasher that is certainly worth the money.It will clean all your washing up in a quiet efficient manner and let out a burst of beeps at the end to tell you it's finished.
