What we like about Hotpoint H7IHP42LUK

  • Spacious Maxi Space tub that easily accommodates large pots, pans, and awkward items
  • Generous 15 place setting capacity making it ideal for large households
  • Quiet operation at 42dB with a dedicated floor light indicator to show when it is running
  • Effective natural drying results with the ActiveDry automatic door-opening feature
  • Powerful cleaning performance enhanced by 3D Zone Wash targeted spray arms
  • Great flexibility provided by the adjustable racks and a third cutlery tray

What we don't like about Hotpoint H7IHP42LUK

  • Higher energy and water consumption when running full intensive or deep-clean wash cycles
  • Mixed user experiences regarding the initial installation process
  • Supplied waste and mains water inlet hoses are short compared to older models
  • Door tension springs require manual adjustment post-fitting to keep the door from snapping shut too quickly

Verdict

The Hotpoint H7IHP42LUK is a full-size, fully integrated dishwasher featuring a 15-place setting capacity, a MaxiSpace tub providing 10% more loading room, and an efficient C-class energy rating with a 9.5-litre water consumption per eco cycle. Main pros include its powerful 3D Zone Wash system that delivers targeted cleaning for tough stains, an automatic ActiveDry door-opening mechanism for natural drying, an ultra-quiet 42dB operating volume, and 10 diverse wash programs. However, notable cons include its lack of a dedicated AquaStop flood protection system and higher resource consumption when running its intensive or 3D Zone Wash cycles.
