Hotpoint FDW60 Review

“Avoid Avoid AVOID!!!! I have had this Hotpoint FDW60...”

Avoid Avoid AVOID!!!! I have had this Hotpoint FDW60 Dishwasher for 2 years now and it has gone wrong 3 times. The heating circuit packs up every time. As it is over the 12 months they charge £159 to replace it every time regardless of when last fitted as the parts are not covered. Ok the machine looks nice in grey and to replace it you look at over £300, but this is the last time i buy Hotpoint and the last time i replace this part. Service centre polite but tried to tell me that Finish D/W cleaner is no good and the fault was because i am not using hotpoints own special D/W cleaner (at a cost of £38 for 2 years supply). Other thigs that are rubbish is the layout of the trays, they are not well thought out and the cutlery tray fell to peices after 9 months. I bought a Bosch one and it is still in tact. Please dont fall into the trap of buying this item. Im not bitter but i wish i had read a review like this prior to buying, i would have gone another manufaturer. at the end of the day it YOUR CHOICE but dont say you were not warned
