Product review (1 stars): RUN away from this dishwasher
Hotpoint hda3440G02SA. I'm fleeing mine finally after 3 years of being frustrated, tormented and enraged by this sub-par piece of ))(%!)(!#%R$$!

Good thing: I like the "stainless steel" like paint (no polishing, just wipe clean with a damp cloth. We got the entire set, side by side fridge, glass top stove, microwave & dishwasher. All 3 of the other pieces are a joy, the dishwasher stinks.

Bad things: It sounds like a freight train, it's ridiculously loud - hang out the window ac loud if that gives you a clue. The white interior was white for about 3 months. I've tried every commercial and home remedy I could find to try to clean it, with no success. As a result the interior looks as if it's 30 years old - not 3. No other water using devices in the house show stains (fiberglass tub, stainless and white sinks, washing machine) so I doubt seriously it's hard water that is the problem. Something about the plastic in this thing is just defective.

The bottom rarely drains if ever, and no the drain hose isn't kinked nor is there food build up in the bottom. As a result the bottom 2 inches are permanently stained an unappealing grey. My dishes are basically WASHED before I put them in for a heated rinse. If freshly used dishes are put in there is a film on them, no visible food particles at all. Any attempt to actually use it as, I dunno, a DISHWASHER even with the water on hottest setting, pre-heating water in sink beforehand and using the pot scrubber setting resulted in cooked on food particles and filthy silverware.

I look forward to testing the new Bosch dishwasher next week, and kicking this one down the driveway.
