Hisense HS523E15XUK Slimline 10 Places Free Standing Dishwasher Stainless Steel 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.

Overall, I’m happy with this dishwasher and how it performs. I mostly use the Eco program and the Fast 90’ program, and both do their job well—the dishes come out clean every time. The only downside is that the door doesn’t open automatically after the cycle finishes, which is a bit disappointing. Because of that, I need to remember to open the door myself once it’s done so everything can dry properly. Aside from this, it works well and suits my needs

Love my little dish washer, perfect for me as I live alone. I like the cutlery drawer instead of a basket. And it runs quietly. only downside is I wish it would tell me that it is out of salts and rinse aid on the digital display but I don't know how other dishwashers work so is this standard.

The unit fits the small space and we are a small family. However unlike my last small dishwasher it does not clean well. The dishes remain wet and not always clean.It is quiet but the best wash cycle is very long-over 3 hours- i bought it because the price suited my budget but in hindsight that was an error. I should have returned this item but i missed the deadline. Not a good purchase.

It really is very surprising how much will fit inside this dishwasher. The top separate cutlery tray makes a huge difference and avoids a basket taking up valuable space. Have used it on universal and eco cycles. Both give excellent cleaning. The machine is very quiet, simple to install, if you have basic knowledge, and a standard length waste pipe. If siting other than next to sink or other drainage , an extension maybe needed. Program length is acceptable, although the economy one, at just less than 4 hours seems a little long. I prefer the universal setting, gives excellent results on plates, cutlery and normally soiled pans in the same wash. We find it ideal for us, being just the two of us, and would probably only have to run 3 or 4 cycles per week. Removal of filter can be a little tricky, but with a few times doing it, no problem. An excellent buy, great price, great looking

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.

Bought to replace a 10+ year old Kenwood dishwasher. The Hisence feels a bit “cheaper”, and was much lighter than the Kenwood, so probably explains why so many seem to end up damaged on delivery - mine arrived with a slight dent on the side near the bottom front (presumably from being man handled at the depot). As it was purely cosmetic and can’t be seen when fitted in place I decided to just keep it. It was easy enough to install. The inlet hose isn’t very malleable though - it’s extremely stiff and kinked when I tried to attached it to the Y piece on the cold water feed (had dishwasher & washing machine on same feed). My water feeds are in quite a tight space and no amount of fiddling could get the hose unkinked. Thankfully this dishwasher can be fitted to the hot water feed (which probably explains why the hose is so stiff), so I just put the dishwasher on the hot feed, and the washing machine straight on the cold. Performance wise I have no complaints. Cleans dishes without quibble. The only annoying thing is that the display is on the inside so you can’t see how much time is left on the cycle. The front just has icons showing you which part the wash is on (pre wash, main wash, rinse, dry and finish). I’d personally rather just see the time. Capacity seems on par with my previous dishwasher - if you have any bulky/large dishes/pans it’s easy enough to raise the top draw to compensate. The cutlery draw is ok, although I have kept my old cuttlery holder as it’s easier to get my boys to use that than get them to put their cuttlery into an additional draw (oh the trauma that extra step would cause them!). So no regrets so far with this purchase, it’s just a shame that the condition it arrives in is a bit of a lottery.

good DW but struggles to clean and dry in eco mode
