Hisense HS523E15WUK Slimline 10 Places Free Standing Dishwasher White with 30 Minutes Quick Wash [Energy Class E]

Purchased as I needed a replacement for my old dishwasher that stopped working. I didn't want to spend too much and this one seemed to fit the bill for a speedy, cost-effective replacement. I've had it three months now and I'm really pleased with it. HIGHLIGHTS... It's super quiet (hardly even notice it's on) / sleek minimal design / digital control panel (in top of door) is really easy to use / cleans well / ...my favourite feature is the cutlery tray at the top, which eliminates the need for a cutlery basket and cleans the cutlery better. There is a slight price to pay for the cutlery tray though - it takes up a couple of inches of vertical space, which means that you need to make a choice between large plates and tall glasses. In order to accommodate plates over 25cm without the spinny-washer-arm-thingy hitting them, you need to move the upper basket higher (there are two heights you can have it at and it's easy to move the basket from one height to another). But that then means you won't get tall glasses in the upper basket. So there's a choice to me made. Personally, I prefer handwashing nice glassware anyway so it's not an issue for me, but it's something to be aware of. There are reviews that mention various problems and error codes, but I've not had any issues in three months, and the manual explains how to deal with any error codes. As for people saying items come out wet, I think that's just something that happens with any dishwasher if you open the door too soon after the cycle has ended. I always leave mine untouched for an hour after it's finished and everything is perfectly dry by then. Performance-wise, everything I put in comes out sparkling clean (I mainly use the 90 min cycle). The colour is a very cool white (almost with a slight grey tinge) so maybe something to bear in mind if you have warm white/cream kitchen units. I don't think you can get better at this price point, and I'm happy to recommend it.

It really is very surprising how much will fit inside this dishwasher. The top separate cutlery tray makes a huge difference and avoids a basket taking up valuable space. Have used it on universal and eco cycles. Both give excellent cleaning. The machine is very quiet, simple to install, if you have basic knowledge, and a standard length waste pipe. If siting other than next to sink or other drainage , an extension maybe needed.Program length is acceptable, although the economy one, at just less than 4 hours seems a little long. I prefer the universal setting, gives excellent results on plates, cutlery and normally soiled pans in the same wash.We find it ideal for us, being just the two of us, and would probably only have to run 3 or 4 cycles per week.Removal of filter can be a little tricky, but with a few times doing it, no problem.An excellent buy, great price, great looking

So I keep seeing F11 code mentioned in comments, mine had the same issue, please see images of how to fix .. remove the filters (image 2) remove the yellow impeller cover (image 3) turn the impeller with your finger a few times.Overall this machine has been good, installation was a bit ropey, it comes with cold water inlet pipe so don’t bother doing what I done and purchase separately, I paid for installation and removal of old appliance too but the men were like dumb and dumber, they refused to remove the pieces of foam inside and said it was health and safety, didn’t level it, didn’t show me it working, in the end I told them to leave my home, as a disabled person this was important to me but I struggled on and done it myself, fits quite a big load although larger dinner plates will stop the water sprayer spinning, I will update review if there is any change but for now, worth the money. 4 stars because it threw a code after 2 washes, literally nothing stuck in there, just stopped draining but easy to fix!

Do not buy this dishwasher it will frustrate you! It looks lovely and is quiet to run. But the design of the baskets is ridiculous which means you cannot fit very much in it. It has a cutlery drawer at the top which means you don't need a basket. I thought this would be great and give more room, but somehow it doesn't. It catches and means you can't put much in the top rack. The bottom shelf cannot accommodate larger plates, even if you adjust the top basket and the design of the rack makes it really hard to load. I had a slimline beko before and could fit dishes from a full meal, including pans. I'm lucky if half will fit in this one. The cycles are really long and you can't see from the outside how long is left. The dishes also come out wet. You can definitely do better at this price! I'm sending it back.

Perfect for a small kitchen, works well with different performance settings

I was a bit dubious about this because of the price and the make but as it was a WHICH best buy I thought I'd give it a go.It's surprisingly quiet and washes the dishes well. I'm really happy with it.

Initially was happy with the price for the brand as thought Hisense was high end. The amount of packaging was excessive. The plumbing is to the right of the machine where our old one was to the left so we had to buy additional pipework to be able to plumb it in. Its very quiet and switched off when the cycle finishes so we often forget it needs to be emptied. The door catches to one side so we have to be careful when closing the door. The racking inside is different to our previous machine and we have found that we have to be careful where we place certain items as its a bit tight and we have ended up with a couple of chipped cups (both chipped in the same place and one chipped as it was lifted out so we know the dishwasher is responsible) the dry function doesnt really make any difference and things still come out dripping. There is no angle on the racks in the top of the machine so excessive water pools on top of items placed there. At the end of the day it was a reasonable price and it washes the dishes so we will persevere with it.
