Hotpoint HFO3T222WGX Stainless Steel Dishwasher Review

[@rinomazzafiore7255]

in 2022 this is still helpful. Thank you for your time and effort. if you're still doing these don't stop.

[@nick2203]

Good performance from a stylish dishwasher. It appears that Hotpoint quality has improved recently. Hotpoint's premium range of dishwashers and washing machines all seem to have a more solid feel to them, not Germanic quality but still much improved.Good review Roger.

[@Jake-gy9fq]

I’ve had a few dishwashers I’ve currently got this model. Had it about seven months now best dishwasher I have had by far

[@lesleycaron2396]

Love all your videos. They are of outstanding quality, detailing every possible feature and an honest view. Keep them coming!!!

I love my hotpoint dishwasher, it's a slimline and much better than our old indesit. We have ths ultima with flexi power model but they have stopped selling it now. Good to see it cleaning well and ours cleans everything that it's given. We always use ultra intensive at 2hr 55 as I want it as hot as possible to keep it clean too. Good to see whirlpool hasn't changed much so far....

Thanks mate, great review and very descriptive video for a novice like myself.

[@mairetheresaharding2939]

The AO video for this model states that it has zone wash and half load option but tech spec says not? Pls could you check this? Thanks

[@leeharvey8334]

Thanx for your reply Roger, I'm with you now. A lot of built in dishwashers have the contols/program guide on the top of the door also. Trouble being you can't see the state of play when the door is shut. I was surprised when you said the Hotpoint cleans/dries better than the Miele. I too had a Bosch made Hotpoint slimline dishwasher which lasted 12 years. They are nowhere near as good quality now. Iv had 2 miele washing machines since 2002, iv slowly seen the quality going down like you said. The latest range of Miele washing machines have lost the sturdy metal door and is plastic instead, have no on/off button or door release button, they have opted for a touch screen control panel for everything. I wonder if the bits we don't see inside have been cheapened off too? Its a shame even a company like Miele have started this cost reduction process. The still keep their prices high though! Love everything you do Roger, wonder if you have ever had any Beko appliances to review and what you thought of them? Best wishes Lee.

[@cal87249]

i have same machine but integrated pannel, i would like to understand, if I doesn't not select the down busket the water doesn't came out from orange parts? i saw you have a camera inside can you show if the water came out from orange part only when down busket is selected o if it al,ways came out but in less pressure than one select the busket?

[@LlyleHunter]

I'm happy to see you back.

[@ibaisaic]

I am still trying to have a break, but thanks to ao.com, Shark and Numatic, I will have to pospone it for a bit longer. 🙂

[@glynroberts1634]

Bruce Solomon . Hello Bruce, it's Glyn. How was the total solar eclipse for you. I've seen it on the news.

[@LlyleHunter]

I enjoyed it. I never get tired of them. I still have the same corrugated box with a pinhole in a piece of aluminum foil from the total solar eclipse when I was in first grade.

[@therodski1]

Hi, I have just got the new T223 slimline basically a thinner version of yours and reading through the instructions it says on your first run you should fill the salt compartment with water and then add the 1kilo of salt and run it on an empty machine. Was this different to yours or did you just leave it out? And thanks for the video it simplified a lot of jargon!

[@james.jesse.]

Brilliant explanation thank you

[@vavavoom6816]

best video of all, thank you 💛

[@tenkalz]

How did you dry it?

[@leeharvey8334]

Hi Roger, great video thanx, I noticed the dishwasher has no program guide on the front panel? I suppose till you get used to it your have to refer to the handbook to see what those program numbers on the display correspond to?

[@ibaisaic]

The programmes are printed on the top of the door. I did originally go through this in the video and went through each programme in turn, but it made the video too long so I had to cut it. Ao.com request that the videos are 10 minutes or under but don't mind that I go over that, though I try to keep them under 15 minutes.

[@kaydenjooste6481]

Hi Roger please do another dishwasher demo

[@ElisiasEvolution]

Great review as always, I bet your house is gleaming with all your gadgets lol

[@Salamanda68]

Hi Roger I just wanted to ask if you needed to use the stainless steel extension on this for the anti flood device? Thanx

[@ibaisaic]

The anti flood device was fitted to my Miele dishwasher and this Hotpoint model doesn't have such a device on the end of the fill hose, so it can be plumbed in normally.

[@andresroko6085]

fantastic

[@Disputedz]

You put in a tablet but you did not enable tablet mode?

[@danielpritchard9542]

What programs does active dry work on do you know?

[@Thomashorsman]

1, 2 and 3. It should have worked with this wash but maybe he has the setting turned off.

[@Bettyboop711000]

I love my miele dishwasher and your review of a miele dishwasher helped persuade me to buy it. You seemed very happy with the miele so why swap it for a hotpoint ????

[@ibaisaic]

I haven't. Even though I think this Hotpoint cleans & dries better than the Miele, I am keeping the Miele. My Mum is having the Hotpoint when she moves house.

[@hotpointbrownlover3365]

[@darkfox_xx1552]

What program you use usually, intensive?

[@ibaisaic]

My mum has this machine now and she normally uses the eco programme.

[@Smash683]

hello, i would like to ask you or anyone who can read this message, at work i have a washing machine likes this, the washing process last 3 minutes. it is possible in this machine to set up the timing like that? or which is the minumin time i can set up? thanks a lot :)

[@ibaisaic]

The dishwasher (you said washing machine but I assume you mean dishwasher) at your work will be a commercial machine. I used one in a restaurant I worked in years ago that only took a few minutes. Domestic dishwashers take a lot longer to clean, even longer if you select an eco programme. You’ll probably find the glassware programme to be the shortest, but if you use that you won’t get heavily soiled items clean. As a dishwasher is meant to be turned on and left to do its job, it doesn’t matter to me how long it takes.

[@xpyres2130]

Did you forget to look at one of the filters? I thought Hotpoint's had 3 filters that need to be cleaned.

[@Beko500ProGolover]

Yes they do have 3 . I know this because I own a intergrated one.

[@taghreedfs]

Why do the tablets get out of its place ? Is that normal?

[@und4287]

Normal.

[@rodimousa9503]

This is the best dishwasher

[@94harbi]

What happened to your new Miele?

[@und4287]

Was in storage. This Hotpoint went to his mum.

[@TylerGrainger-oz8xh]

The stainless steel bowl had something on it

[@fabou3]

Roger does not lie. He says from the get go, it's a machine to revue. My only thing is.....a dishwasher only works as well as the detergent put into them. Live in the states, rent a house ( not because i'm poor, just moving in the next 2 years to my retirement home), have a crappy dishwasher, found what detergent works best. His dishes may be clean, but the dishwasher is only part of that, in the states, we no longer have enzimes nor bleach in our DW detergents and many work very poor. He was lucky, he used a sample that may have made the DW shine. He is giving HIS opinion as how it went. So....no hate!

[@ibaisaic]

I mentioned the detergent I used in the demo because as you say the results are affected by the detergent, the same goes when using a washing machine. However, I have been using my regular eco friendly tablets since I made the demo and trying different programmes and I got similar results.

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

Do you get to keep these dishwashers and other products that you get from AO.COM for free? Or do you put your Miele one back?

[@ibaisaic]

Yes, any products sent out to review can be kept and that normally applies to anyone who is sent a product to review providing they meet the requirements of the manufacturer or retailer giving out the samples. I gave the Hotpoint to my Mum and am currently using my Miele model.

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

ibaisaic Okay, thanks Roger! When is the demonstration of the Portawash video and the Miele washer dryer coming out?

[@harveyg5707]

Does it come with a fill hose? Please could you reply:)

[@ibaisaic]

Yes.

[@harveyg5707]

@@ibaisaic thank you because I ordered this dishwasher but the old hose from the old dishwasher split when I pulled it out and it is coming tomorrow so I was just worrying that it wouldn’t come with a hose so thanks for replying :)

[@elizabethkern6198]

Is this Next Gen

[@washing_machine_guy]

Elizabeth Kern yes these are the Whirlpool made ones

[@Soapy555]

I just bought one of these Dishwashers, is the door on yours really wobbly and flimsy, like its not built properly?

[@ibaisaic]

No, the door feels pretty solid.

[@Soapy555]

@@ibaisaic Ahh ok, thanks for the reply. It's when I push the door closed on either of the corners the entire door bends from the bottom hinges and doesn't want to close properly, I have to push it closed dead centre. it just seems so strange . my old hotpoint was solid.

[@ibaisaic]

Have you made sure it’s level.

[@Soapy555]

@@ibaisaic Yep, its level, i'm gonna go to Currys in a bit to check whether they do the same in their shop

[@Soapy555]

Update - Checked in Currys and its exactly the same shoddy build quality, what a joke. I actually bought the Whirlpool version (which is basically the same as the Hotpoint but more expensive for some unknown reason) in hope that it would be designed with some kind of integrity. I doubt this thing will last 5 years before problems occur. Depressing stuff.

[@glorianobrega1732]

Tk

[@mohammed-3908]

How is it after 3 years?

[@kaydenjooste6481]

Eh

[@bobsurrey4043]

Ibasiac I beg you please put the Miele back they're so much better than indesit rubbish. The sad thing is hotpoint dishwashers used to be made by Bosch (mine is a Bosch made one) and it is from 1998 and it hasn't broken once

[@ibaisaic]

I will be putting my Miele back in a couple of weeks and my Mum will be having this Hotpoint, even though this dishwasher cleans and dries better than the Miele. We also owned a Bosch made Hotpoint for many years, but sadly even though Bosch are good, they don't make their appliances as well as they used to and neither do Miele in my opinion.

[@bobsurrey4043]

ibaisaic no I agree but the quality in my hotpoint (Bosch) dishwasher is a lot better than any modern Bosch you can buy

[@gibgrth]

ibaisaic do you get to keep the machine and if so is it free?

[@caseyj5597]

ibaisaic I didn't know they allowed you to review products and then pass them on... Is that standard?

[@Amingr]

Could you give an example as to how the Hotpoint was better than the Miele? My partner and I are have talked about buying a dishwasher - albeit a slimline one - in the future and my preference would be for a Bosch/Siemens/Miele but, I would like to have the full picture even from a brand I don't quite fancy (i.e Hotpoint) x

[@PaulHojda]

Not bad for an Indesh...i mean Hotpoint

[@ibaisaic]

It isn't bad, if it was, I wouldn't have given it to my Mum.

[@glynroberts1634]

Nice video sir. Only lazy people use a dishwasher though. 😀 only joking. I've got one but she's gone on holiday, like that other bloke on Rogers bits and doings. You can't keep away , can you. Haha 😃😃😃. Thank you though.

[@glynroberts1634]

Thank you for your honest opinions and great videos. I know you haven't sold out to anybody and never will, but I think you've got shares in Chinese made hoovers though. Lol. So much for taking time off to sort things out huh.

[@franciscoperez6851]

The dishwasher is very nice, but I am disappointed at one thing...When I opened occasionally to add an extra item I realized it already has dropped the detergent. This dishwasher, not like others I have owned, not even it the heavy soiled program, has a first rinse cycle (water in, rinse, water out) before doing the main wash with the detergent..... So i have to rinse plates in the sink very well, if not the water it washes is dirty, especially with rests of fat, oils, butter or margarine, ... and dishes don't come very clean despite 2h 59 min time washing..... I wish this could be corrected..... The only workaraound I found is to run a "rins cycle" (10 min), then load the detergent tablet, and run the full wash cycle.... Why did they designed it like this? To save 6-7 liter of water of that initial rinse?? They turned an almost perfect machine into mediocre performance....

[@mattiaiezzi9381]

The problem is due to you prerinsing the dishes. The turbidity sensor senses clean dishes and skips the prewash stage. Try running the machine with dirty dishes, you'll still get perfect results
