Editorial note
The Hotpoint HIC 3C26N WF dishwasher stands out for several notable advantages. With a capacity of 14 place settings, it is ideal for families or group meals. Its energy consumption of 0.934 kWh per cycle and its energy efficiency class E allow for savings on electricity bills while being environmentally friendly. Additionally, its operation is relatively quiet, with a noise level of only 46 dB, making it a suitable choice for use in open living spaces or during the night. This model also offers appreciated flexibility with its 9 washing programs, including a silence mode and a pre-wash program, allowing for washing to be adapted according to the needs of the dishes. The AquaStop technology adds an extra layer of safety by preventing water leaks. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The energy efficiency class E is less effective compared to other models on the market, which could be a drawback for users concerned about their ecological footprint. The cycle time of 190 minutes is relatively long and may not suit those looking for a quick wash. The lack of a half-load function may also lead to water and energy waste when the appliance is used with a partial load. Finally, the absence of Wi-Fi connectivity limits remote control options. In terms of scores, the user experience is generally positive, with a rating of 78, although the lack of automatic door opening is a point for improvement. Performance was rated at 70, indicating that the product meets expectations for common tasks but could be improved in terms of speed. The modern and integrated design received a score of 75, while the value for money is considered acceptable with a score of 72. Durability is appreciated with a score of 80, highlighting the reliability of the appliance. In summary, the Hotpoint HIC 3C26N WF is an efficient dishwasher for families, offering varied features and good safety, but it also has limitations in terms of energy efficiency and washing speed.Score details
