Hoover HDPH 2D1049W 80 Slimline Dishwasher - White

Nice dishwasher

Seems to do the job well. Plenty of programs & is very quiet. I think for me the only down side is the cutlery basket, it doesn't sit well. In general a good machine

Stupid Design

This replaced a b*sh dishwasher that was unreliable and only lasted 8 months, which despite this was amazing at cleaning and drying. I have other Hoover appliances and I am really disappointed with this dishwasher, it is not very good at cleaning and appealing at drying, it's the worst I've ever had. It doesn't dry at all no matter how much rinse aid you use. The top rack is bad, it's layout does not make any sense and is impractical, there is nowhere for large knives or utensils. Also if you don't push the top rack back in the machine with a click, it doesn't connect to the water so the arm won't spin and all the top rack won't get washed. I have done this on a few occasions now ( never had this problem with any machine I've owned). The bottom rack the holes are too wide so most things like pan handles will poke down and stop the arm spinning, the cutlery basket is stupid the holes in the basket are too wide so your cutlery is forever falling through. The intensive wash is 70c but still doesn't clean your oven wear. The cycles are too fast, not long enough to wash and dry properly. Believe it or not the best cycle for cleaning is the eco setting which is the opposite and far too long it's a mind blowing 5 hours and 7 minutes?? But it cleans. I'm beyond disappointment, I just wonder if the person who designed this machine has ever used a dishwasher and I think they are blindsided by trying to be too green. Oh it makes a lot of noise for the 5 hours it's on.

Nice compact, quiet dishwasher with good programs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never had a dishwasher in my current house as had a new double sink installed which we always used but since the covid-19 pandemic we have been at home making all the meals every day for a large family and by the end of the day everyone was just so tired of washing up but we only had a small space to put the dishwasher so the slim design of this unit worked well in our kitchen. It was easy to set up by yourself and came with everything you would need to put to plumb it into the bottom of a sink and to a water supply. The unit itself has a good display, and can easily be worked after turning on by cycling through the different programs which tell you exactly how long it will take and what the program is for example 'prewash' which is a 20 minute wash or 'Rapid' which is a 32 minute wash. We found the best wash was 'Intensive' which is just over 2 hours but as its quiet it can be left over night. This product is well built, easy to use, quiet and energy efficient and uses detergent for an automatic dishwasher which keeps the unit clean and sparkly. I guess the only downside to a slim dishwasher is that you really have to work hard on juggling the items to make them all fit so that the water spinner is not stopped which is a tad difficult especially with a number of large plates. I also found that drying time takes quite a while if you have the dishwasher door shut after it has finished which is easily solved by opening the door allow outside air to circulate into the unit. I would and have recommended this product to a friend in an alternative to a on the counter dishwasher.

Great addition to my kitchen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has made a huge difference to our kitchen and has been a great time saver with a busy house being able to load the dishwasher and then let it do its thing while we are busy is fantastic. Was slightly bigger than expected but still brilliant. Clear displays and easy to understand and use . Fantastic

Simple and brilliant

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What an amazing little machine! This dishwasher is silent, and it's slim and so easy to install. It has a range of different programs and loads of space. It has just 2 pipes and an electric plug so installation is so simple.

Fantastic slim line!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] How amazing is this model? It looks so professional. It has a quick wash setting, which is perfect for those busy Sunday roasts where you need every pot and pan twice over! I can also delay the wash for another time, which is so helpful for my evening dish washing. The screen let's you know how long is left till the end of the wash, which most models don't. So that's perfect for knowing how long there is to wait. Really great value for money.
