Hotpoint Aquarius FDM550P Standard Dishwasher Freestanding Polar White

We love it! It's in our Top 5! Standard by name only, the Hotpoint Aquarius FDM550P is the perfect affordable dishwasher for large families. A practical and time-saving device, this arctic-white model goes great in a kitchen with other white appliances. It comes with 5 handy programmes and enough room for up to 12 place-settings, so it can accommodate enough dishes for even a large dinner party. The top basket is height adjustable meaning that hard to fit items can be cleaned with ease too.

Hotpoint FDM550P

The Hotpoint Aquarius FDM550P’s 5 programmes include an intensive wash for those spaghetti bolognaise encrusted dishes, a fast wash for when you only need a few to be cleaned and an eco wash that increases energy efficiency.

It has been awarded an energy rating of A. You can buy another set of plates and a cutlery set to be washed in the dishwasher every year with the savings!

There is a large, removable cutlery basket for ease of use and an adjustable height top basket so you can put larger objects in the bottom rack without having to worry about space. Add 2 glass supports to the mix and it truly is the Age of Aquarius for this dishwasher.

"A great dishwasher"

Pros: Quiet, Easy to use, Good build quality, Value for money, looks good

Cons: doesn't dry very well

"This is the first dishwasher I have ever bought and I am impressed so far. It is easy to load and seems have a large capacity. In fact as a couple, we only need to put it on every 2-3 days so it is definitely cost effective. Dishes/pans come out sparkling and the ground-in tide marks on the coffee mugs have completely disappeared! It is very easy to use and the cycles are fairly quck too. Also it is very quiet - you hardly notice it is on. However, as with any product there are a couple of minor down-sides. 1 = the bottom drawer comes off its runners fairly easily which is a little annoying. 2 = the dishwasher doesn't seem to dry the dishes very well. I have found them to need a quick dry with the tea-towel when emptying. Overall - a great product, well worth the money. Very pleased."
