Verdict

The Hotpoint H2IHKD526UK is a fully built-in, 60cm full-size integrated dishwasher featuring a generous capacity of 14 place settings, 9 custom wash programmes, and a quiet 46dB digital inverter motor. Operating with an E energy rating and a highly efficient 9.5-litre water consumption per eco cycle, its main highlights include a rapid 28-to-30-minute quick wash, a hygienic 72°C sanitising cycle that eliminates 99.999% of bacteria, an eco-friendly half-load option, and flexible loading via an adjustable upper basket. On the downside, the appliance carries a lower E energy efficiency class, and some users have noted internal space layout limitations where standard-sized dinner plates can occasionally block the rotating spray arms unless tilted.
