Hotpoint ActiveDry Integrated Slimline Dishwasher with Black Control Panel - 45cm, 10 Place Settings

The Hotpoint ActiveDry integrated slimline dishwasher is a space-saving appliance designed for smaller kitchens, measuring just 45cm in width. Despite its compact dimensions, it offers a generous capacity of 10 place settings, making it suitable for couples or smaller households. It features a fully integrated design that sits flush with your kitchen cabinetry for a seamless look, with a black control panel providing a modern touch. Key features include the innovative ActiveDry system, which automatically opens the door slightly at the end of the wash cycle to allow natural airflow. This promotes more effective drying without consuming additional energy, leaving dishes ready to be put away. The dishwasher is equipped with an Inverter Motor that intelligently directs water pressure for a thorough clean across various programmes. These include an Eco 50° cycle, a Normal wash, an Intensive 65° programme for heavily soiled items, and a convenient Rapid Wash that completes a load of lightly dirty dishes in just 40 minutes. Loading flexibility is enhanced by the Flexiload system, featuring an adjustable upper basket and a dedicated third basket for cutlery. This model is particularly well-suited for homes where kitchen space is at a premium but efficient cleaning performance is still required. It includes practical features such as a Half Load option for washing fewer dishes economically, an advanced water softener system, and a stainless steel tub for durability and hygiene. With an energy efficiency rating of D and the ability to connect to a hot water supply for potentially faster cycles, it balances performance with consideration for running costs. The hidden heating element and overflow protection add to its safety and reliability for daily use.
