Rank #6 in Best Freestanding Dishwasher 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Numbers That Disagree
Hoover H-DISH 300 13-Place Dishwasher, Black, C Class
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Hoover H-DISH 300 is a freestanding full-size dishwasher in black, listed at £299.00 and sitting at number 6 in this guide. Its own advert is the reason it is here: the product title offers 13 place settings, and a spec field in the same listing headed "Number of settings" reads 5. Those two numbers describe the same machine, and the listing never explains which one it means.
That is not the only field that argues with its own label. Water consumption is filed as "10.9 Gallons per Hour" in a field titled "Dryer: Water Consumption (in liters)", so the unit in the label and the unit in the value are not the same thing. The rest of the ficha is easier to read: 47 decibels, 85 cm high, 35 kg, a 49-minute cycle, and a 4.0 out of 5 rating — though the star breakdown shown beside that rating adds up to 100 ratings (52 five-star, 27 four-star, 13 one-star) while the header states 80. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test we ran.
How those 80 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.0 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I was a bit dubious in ordering, but it was a great price and having now done a full wash with it I have to say I'm very pleased so far. Latte glasses are difficult to get clean in a dishwasher, the ones I put in my previous Bosh machine came out dirtier than when they went in, but this machine does a good job. My only criticism is the control panel is almost impossible to read, it's black, and the numbers don't show up well. At least not without a magnifying glass, as my eyesight's not too brilliant.”
Verified purchase“Superb dishwasher. Quiet. Lots but sensible amount of programs. Very large inside. Lots large dinner plate space. Very impressed”
