Verdict

The Hotpoint H3BL626BUK is a full-size (60 cm), semi-integrated dishwasher with a 14-place setting capacity, operating via an energy-efficient inverter motor at a quiet 46 dB noise level. Measuring 82.0 x 59.8 x 55.5 cm, it consumes 9.5 litres of water per Eco cycle and 95 kWh per 100 cycles, placing it in energy efficiency class E. Key advantages include a flexible storage setup with a height-adjustable upper basket, Flexiload folding racks, a half-load option, a 30-minute rapid wash, and a 24-hour delay start timer. On the downside, it lacks a dedicated cutlery tray, relying instead on a traditional cutlery basket, has no digital time-remaining indicator countdown on the panel, missing child lock safety, and utilises a basic static residual heat drying method rather than automatic door opening.
