What we like about Hotpoint HBC2B+26B

  • Generous 14 place settings capacity ideal for large families
  • Quiet operation utilizing a 46 dB induction motor
  • Flexible storage via a height-adjustable upper basket
  • Convenient 30-minute rapid wash cycle for lightly soiled dishes
  • Useful delay start timer to run cycles at optimal times
  • Good overall value for money and solid cleaning performance

What we don't like about Hotpoint HBC2B+26B

  • Long running times for standard and eco wash programs
  • Lower energy efficiency rating under modern standards (Class E)
  • Occasional complaints regarding lower rack tracking and wheel stability
  • Potential for food debris and odor buildup if filters are not regularly cleaned
  • Basic control interface with fewer advanced customization options

Verdict

The Hotpoint HBC2B+26B is a 60 cm semi-integrated built-in dishwasher featuring a 14 place setting capacity, a stainless steel interior, and a quiet 46 dB induction motor. Main pros include its ActiveDry technology for automatic door-opening drying, an adjustable upper basket, and a fast 30-minute rapid wash program among its 5 cycle options, consuming 12 litres of water per cycle. However, its notable cons include a modern Class E energy efficiency rating and a delay start timer limited to a maximum of 8 hours.
