Russell Hobbs RHTTDW6S Freestanding Compact Dishwasher, Eco mode, 6 place settings, Noise level: decibels 52 (Energy Class F), Silver

This has been a great purchase. It’s a largish small dishwasher - about the same size as a slim upright model, but counter-top. It is simple to use and washes well. Downsides are that it’s too big (by less than 2cm) to fit between the counter-top and overhead cupboards, and it doesn’t fit larger dinner plates or pans.

Due to the design of my kitchen and the fact it has a soil pipe going along one wall, it soon became obvious that fitting in a full size Dishwasher was an impossibility. After doing a bit of research I decided to order the Russell Hobbs 6 Place Settings. I knew from the beginning I was going to get it fitted into a cupboard and plumbed in, so the colour made no difference to me. I ordered the Silver one as it was cheaper. It arrived promptly and sat for a couple of weeks in the box waiting to be fitted. After reading the instructions, please do as you need to set the hardness of the water for your area ( I live in a really hard water area), you also need to set the rinse aid at the correct number - now here is my only criticism, the numbers are inside not outside of the rinse aid cap - come of RH lets keep it simple put the numbers where they can be seen when putting the cap back on!! Now for the actual working of the Dishwasher - it is really quiet, the only time I really hear it is when it bleeps to let me know it is finished. There are various programmes and the booklet breaks down each programme so that you pick the best one I have photocopied and laminated mine and placed on top of the dishwasher for easy reference. There is also a time delay - I set mine for when the Westerly facing solar panels start working so I am not paying for electric from the grid. You can easily pause and change the programme if you have got it wrong and it is early enough into the programme, The dishwasher will turn itself off after a certain amount of time has passed once ended. Cleaning the filters are easy as is topping up the salt and rinse aid. In the beginning, you need to be patient and get the dishwasher to work exactly how you want for example on my first wash it did not dry the dishes completely-refer to the Troubleshooting page, and there is the answer, second wash worked a treat. RH even show you the best way to load your dishwasher, I love this dishwasher and it certainly makes a difference. Would I recommend - YES, as long as you manage your expectations about how much will fit in it at any one time this little number is a diamond

Bought to replace a Zanussi table top dishwasher. This appears to be exactly the same. Works well.

I cannot live without this machine and I express gratitude for it every day but sometimes the tablets don't dissolve. I put on a wash and the compartment was still closed with the tablet inside, so I don't know if I should still use the compartment at all now. The sound is also very therapeutic at night.🥰

I do not have room for a full sized dishwasher, but I can (just about) shoehorn a half sized one like this under the kitchen sink in my flat. This fitted, tightly, like the one it replaced (different make, 11 years old.) Not that I care, but it is not ugly - I did not buy it to look at and/or admire. It is a little louder than its predecessor, but I tend to load my dishwasher up in the evening, go to bed, and turn it on the following morning just before going to work. Noise is not really a consideration. It is quiet enough not to bother my neighbours. As with all dishwashers the only way to actually achieved the claimed capacity of 13 angry men, 3 amigos, a Snow White and 7 dwarves, 101 Dalmatians, 39 steps etc is to own the exact same film or book used by the manufacture, in the same format. which no one ever does. Mine is currently running the ‘before first use’ wash. If I can get 4 of my dinner plates, 4 knives, 4 forks, BUT BUT NOW. I hate it. It can not get a single item to actually stand upright in the washing basket. Glasses fall over, plates do not fit In any direction. Dinner, side, salad, tiny saucers, nothing stays upright, Totally useless. Unfit for purpose. You have to own the exact set of plates and dishes they owned to get them to fit. The washing arm hits the lid for the salt container, and jams. Every time. Clack clack clack, as it hits the lid as it rotates… then an after 10 to 15 minutes of a 3 and a half hour wash cycle no more ‘whoosh whoosh’ as the arm rotates, and no ‘clack clack’ as it hits the lid on thy was past. It has jammed. On the lid of the salt pot. As usual. I currently have a glass coaster, normally put under a glass to prevent water-marks on furniture, in it, on the floor/base. The arm hits the coaster and bounces up a bit. It can then pass over the lid of the salt/water softener lid. They should have designed this in. It was such an easy fix. So this weekend I will cast a small acrylic part, shaped like a door stop, and glue it in place. It will direct the arm over the lid of the salt container.

I love this item, it literally saved my time, I’ve got so much more time to do other things. This is good for families. Very rarely I use it 2 times a day because it’s smaller than the regular one however it is fine for everyday use and I do use it once a day most days. The functionality is great, it washes everything leaving it super clean.

Great dishwasher, loved having it for over a year. Then saw a large crack had suddenly appeared on the front of the casing! Amazon are replacing it without a fuss, but it is worrying.

Great capacity. Great clean. Great timing. Easy to install. Great addition to my new kitchen. Didn’t want the full size dishwasher as for a family of 4- this suffices. Only used 3 times . So far so good🤗
