The Hotpoint H8IHT59LSUK is a full-size, fully integrated dishwasher with space for 14 place settings. It has a Maxi Space tub for wine glasses, large plates and big pots and pans. The Flexi Zone racking can be set up for 13, 14 or 15 covers, and the Flexiload feature lets you stand pans upright in the lower basket. The upper rack can be raised or lowered for taller items, and there is a cutlery basket and a Hydroforce third rack with integrated spray jets for mugs, bowls and utensils.
It offers 8 programmes, including Express Cycle, which washes a small, lightly soiled load in 30 minutes. There is also an Intensive programme for baked-on food, a Glass Care cycle with fold-away glass holders, and Eco, Rapid, Soak and Self Clean options. Auto Programmes adjust energy, water and time to how dirty the dishes are, and 3D Zone Wash adds extra water power for stubborn marks. It is rated A for both cleaning and drying performance, and B for energy efficiency, and uses 9.5 litres of water per cycle.
ActiveDry opens the door slightly near the end of the cycle so air can circulate and help dry the dishes. A Delay Timer lets you postpone the start by up to 24 hours, and a Light On Floor shows when the dishwasher is running. It also has a digital countdown, and salt and rinse aid indicator lights. The Overflow system protects against leaks, and the dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply of up to 60°C. It measures 82 cm high, 59.8 cm wide and 55.5 cm deep, and needs a niche 56 cm deep.
