Hoover HDPH 2D1049B 80 Slimline Dishwasher – Black

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.
