Manual of product HFC 3C26 W UK
Editorial note
The Hotpoint HFC 3C26 W UK dishwasher stands out with its generous capacity of 14 place settings, making it an ideal choice for families or meals with friends. Its energy efficiency, rated A++, allows for savings on electricity bills while reducing environmental impact. The various washing programs, such as Eco, Intensive, and Normal, offer flexibility and adaptation to the specific needs of each type of dishware. Additionally, the delayed start function of up to 24 hours adds a convenient feature for scheduling washes according to availability. Its reasonable noise level of 46 dB allows for discreet use, even during rest hours. However, the Hotpoint HFC 3C26 W UK has some drawbacks. The lack of Wi-Fi functionality limits the ability to control the device remotely, which may disappoint some modern users. Furthermore, the model does not have a remaining time indicator, making the management of the washing cycle a bit less convenient. The absence of a removable top can also complicate installation and maintenance, especially in tight spaces. Finally, although the water consumption per cycle of 9.5 L is reasonable, it may be perceived as high compared to other more economical models. Overall, the Hotpoint HFC 3C26 W UK offers good value for money, with a generally positive user experience thanks to its practical features. However, some improvements could be made to optimize its use and convenience.Score details
