HisenseHS523E15WUK Slimline 10 Places Free Standing Dishwasher White with 30 Minutes Quick Wash [Energy Class E]

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.

Delivered on time, very easy to use, just turn on the button which is located at the top of the door, press P for programme, I always choose the 30 minute one as I don't put in much, press half cycle. It is done in minutes. Absolutely brilliant, and any glasses I have put in come out sparkling clean, as do any of my new pet bowls. It's excellent for keeping things all clean and sterile, for my dishes and the pets.

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.

The dishwasher itself is fine. It does all the things one would expect from a dishwasher. It washes dishes and other items placed in it.1. Be sure to not place a large plate in front of the dishwasher tablet dispenser otherwise it won't open.2. The cutlery goes in a tray at the top. You may prefer to utilise a cutlery rack. We kept ours from our previous dishwasher.3. Things go in dirty and come out clean. Nice job.The problem is with Amazon, the checkout process and the way they manage contracts.On checkout, I booked for installation and removal of the previous dishwasher. Surprisingly, it cost £0.00 which is very cheap considering the amount of time and cost involved in removing a dishwasher, disposing of it ethically and installing a new dishwasher. Not just that but the delivery was the very next day which was extremely quick.I imagine it is extremely competitive for suppliers to get that gig.When the gentleman arrived the next day - although he was polite and friendly - he pointed at a bit of pipe under the sink and explained that he would be unable to uninstall and remove the existing dishwasher. I did not support this view at the time. However, on reflection Amazon needs to pay delivery drivers and other Amazon employees proper salaries so that they can joyfully use their skills to uninstall and remove dishwashers as well as install them. This takes time.Delivery drivers are under enormous pressure to meet time deadlines. They do not have time to deliver, remove old appliances and install new ones.If you want that kind of service go to John Lewis. In the meantime, I hope Amazon delivery drivers join a union and get some proper job security.
