"I got this after reading on Which.co.uk that it was a great buy... Definitely happy that I didn't spend more"
"Had this installed around 4 weeks ago - Perfect dishwasher, lots of internal space, plenty of cycles. No problems found."
"Great value dishwasher with wi-fi. We've had a Hisense dishwasher before and loved it but wanted one with a top tray for cutlery. The first one we ordered was damaged and had to be replaced (packaging wasn't sufficient enough), hence only 4 stars, but now installed it cleans really well and isn't noisy. Would definitely recommend for a lower priced dishwasher."

"Hisense HV693C60UK was purchased to replace a dishwasher that had finally succumbed after 30 years of use. On the face of it the build quality is a match for the old machine, time will tell if internally the components are of a similar quality.
Installation was straightforward, reconnecting to the old cold water feed and drain pipes. Due to being an fully integrated model, I found the cabinet door installation straight forward, though there is no adjustment available, so ensure the machine is fully fitted prior to attaching the door front to ensure correct alignment. One thing to bear in mind is this is a large capacity machine, and you may have to cut out the top of the kitchen plinth to allow the door to fully open, if your old machine was smaller in body height and/or your plinth is quite tall.
As mentioned above this dishwasher has a large capacity due to the increased washing chamber height over my previous machine. Some of that extra height is taken by the cutlery drawer. Some reviews complain that the added drawer restricts hight for glasses etc, however I have found that because the drawer has adjustable trays, if you have tall glasses, sliding a portion out of the way allows the glasses to fit, it just requires both drawers to be moved in tandem if necessary.
The middle drawer has a simple method of height adjustment and several adjustable sections/dividers to accommodate everything I have to throw at it so far. The bottom plate/baking tray drawer has additional room as the cutlery basket is no longer required. This particular model has additional spray jets at the back of the machine for crusty items, you just need to ensure you place them in the back portion of the drawer for maximum benefit.
Cleaning and drying is excellent. I still get a little residual water on upturned bases and plastic takeaway trays, but the fan and auto door opening cope with almost everything. I use 3 in 1 tabs/sachets so no salt or rinse aid required, but I found adding rinse aid on minimal setting helps the drying process.
All the various programmes work well, eco has not let me down yet, but takes a while. The short 15 min cycle is nothing more than a glorified prewash and will not remove stains, but is useful if you need a quick turnaround and you don't mind hand drying.
The hot washes have cleaned even baked on residue so far. Though the tabs used will probably have a bearing on the outcome, the additional jets seem to help in the deep clean zone.
Other nice touches are the interior light and the indicator light to show it's on. It's not that quiet you can't tell but there are periods during the cycles where you can hear nothing at all. WiFi is something to go wrong but does help simplify the adjustment of settings over manually adding them on the control panel.
All in all ver happy so far. Ask me again on 30 years.

"Compares well with established up-market brands and is very quiet - excellent for open plan kitchens and lights living spaces. The cutlery tray is handy. Slight niggle that larger plates obstruct the rotor arm on one side but otherwise very pleased with the dishwasher."
