A fuss-free family dishwasher at a sensible price

The Hisense HS622E90BUK is a full size, 60 cm freestanding dishwasher with room for 13 place settings, finished in sleek black to suit modern kitchens. It focuses on practical everyday features rather than flashy extras, with a quick 30-minute wash, height-adjustable top basket and a Dry+ option to help dishes come out ready for the cupboard.

Hisense has built a reputation for offering solid, good-value appliances, and this model fits that brief. It sits in the affordable-to-mid-range bracket for full size dishwashers, yet packs in a decent set of programmes and a stainless steel interior.

With an impressive 4.7 out of 5 from over 600 owner reviews, it’s clearly doing the basics very well – cleaning performance, ease of use and day-to-day reliability – even if its E energy rating isn’t the most efficient on the market.

Who this dishwasher is best for

The Hisense HS622E90BUK is well suited to medium-sized households that run the dishwasher most days. With capacity for 13 place settings and two baskets, it will comfortably handle the plates, glasses and cutlery from family dinners or a small gathering without feeling cramped.

If you’re working to a sensible budget but don’t want to drop down to a very basic machine, this is a strong mid-range option. You get useful touches like a height-adjustable upper basket, flexible cutlery basket and a range of wash programmes, without paying a premium for Wi-Fi or complex smart features you may not use.

It’s a good choice for first-time buyers or anyone upgrading from an older, noisier model. The button controls and LED display are straightforward, with a remaining-time indicator and 24-hour delay timer that make it easy to fit washing around your schedule.

Those in small flats or open-plan spaces who are particularly sensitive to noise will appreciate the relatively low 47 dB operation, although if you want the very quietest or most energy-efficient dishwasher available, you may want to stretch to a higher-end model.

What we like

The 13 place setting capacity is ideal for typical UK families, giving you enough space for daily loads without needing an oversized machine. The height-adjustable top basket means you can shift it up or down depending on whether you’re loading tall glasses or bulky pots, making the interior more flexible than cheaper fixed-rack designs.

The 30-minute quick wash is genuinely handy for lightly soiled items or when you need plates turned around in a hurry, for example between courses or before guests arrive. For regular loads, the Eco and intensive options give you more thorough cleaning while managing energy and water use sensibly.

Hisense has included a Dry+ function, which boosts drying performance by using higher temperatures so dishes are more likely to emerge cupboard-ready, cutting down on hand-drying and streaks. A stainless steel interior, self-cleaning filter and self-clean programme together help keep the machine hygienic with minimal effort.

Owners consistently praise this model, reflected in the 4.7/5 rating from over 600 reviews. That level of feedback suggests reliable cleaning, intuitive controls and a generally hassle-free experience at a price that undercuts many big-name rivals.

Where it could be better

The most obvious compromise is the E energy rating. While the quoted 0.93 kWh per cycle and 11 litres of water per wash are reasonable, there are now more efficient C and D-rated machines that will cost a bit less to run over time, especially in busy households.

Although the 47 dB noise level is respectable and described as “Super Silent” in the specs, it’s not among the very quietest dishwashers available, so if you regularly run it overnight in a bedroom-adjacent kitchen, you may prefer an ultra-silent premium model.

There’s no Wi-Fi or app control, which some modern dishwashers now offer for remote monitoring and notifications. Many buyers won’t miss this, but if you like your appliances connected, this model is deliberately more traditional.

Finally, the two-year manufacturer warranty is fair but not exceptional. Some rival brands offer longer cover on certain models, which could be worth considering if you prefer maximum long-term peace of mind.

Everyday use

Living with the Hisense HS622E90BUK is refreshingly straightforward. The front panel uses clear button controls and an LED display, so selecting a programme, checking how long is left and setting the delay timer all feel intuitive, even if you’re not especially tech-savvy.

Loading is made easier by the adjustable upper basket and flexible cutlery basket. Being able to move the top rack up or down gives you more room for tall pans or large plates when needed, while the cutlery basket can be repositioned to free up lower-rack space. Two spray zones and a stainless steel interior help ensure water reaches all corners and the cavity stays robust and easy to wipe down.

Noise is kept to a comfortable level at 47 dB; you’ll hear it working, but it won’t dominate a typical kitchen, and it’s quiet enough to run in the evening without disturbing conversation or TV in an adjoining room. The 24-hour delay timer also means you can schedule cycles to finish when it suits you, whether that’s early morning or just as you get home.

Maintenance is simple thanks to the self-cleaning filter and dedicated self-clean programme. Salt and rinse aid indicators prompt you when top-ups are needed, and the integral water softener, complete with adjustable settings, protects against limescale in hard water areas, helping to maintain performance over time.

Performance and features

In day-to-day cleaning, the Hisense HS622E90BUK focuses on dependable performance rather than headline-grabbing specs. With eight wash programmes, including Eco, Intensive, Glass/Delicate, 60-minute, Quick and Pre-rinse, it covers the main scenarios most households need – from baked-on oven dishes to wine glasses and everyday plates.

The Eco programme is the go-to for standard mixed loads, balancing energy and water use with thorough cleaning. For tougher jobs, the intensive and 60-minute cycles raise the temperature and wash intensity to tackle grime on pots and pans. The dedicated Glass/Delicate programme is gentler, ideal for stemware and finer crockery you’d rather not risk on a harsher cycle.

The 30-minute quick wash is a real highlight. While it’s best reserved for lightly soiled items, it’s invaluable when you need a fast turnaround. Coupled with the Dry+ function, which increases the drying temperature, it means you can have usable plates and glasses from dirty to cupboard-ready in well under an hour when time is tight.

Practical protection features include anti-flood protection, child lock and adjustable water softener, giving extra reassurance for families and those in flats or open-plan spaces. The residual heat drying system is efficient and simple, and the machine’s 11-litre water consumption per cycle is competitive for its size, helping keep running costs sensible even if the energy rating isn’t class-leading.

Overall, the feature set is strong for a mid-priced, non-smart dishwasher. You get the programmes, flexibility and safety features that matter most, without unnecessary complexity.

Value for money

At around this price point, the Hisense HS622E90BUK represents very good value in the full size dishwasher market. You’re not paying a premium for Wi-Fi or ultra-silent operation, but you are getting a generous 13 place setting capacity, a solid stainless steel interior and a well-chosen set of programmes.

Running costs are reasonable. Although the E energy rating isn’t top-tier, the 0.93 kWh per cycle and 11 litres of water per wash are in line with many similar mid-range models. For most households, the difference in annual bills compared with a slightly more efficient unit is unlikely to outweigh the lower upfront cost of this machine.

The standout factor is owner satisfaction: a 4.7/5 score from 610 reviews is a strong indicator that the balance of price, performance and ease of use is spot on for many buyers. Add in the two-year manufacturer warranty and useful extras like Dry+, height-adjustable basket and self-clean functions, and it feels like you’re getting a lot for your money.

If you want the very cheapest possible dishwasher, there are more basic options. But for anyone prepared to spend a little more for a noticeably better spec without entering premium pricing, this Hisense is a compelling choice.

Our verdict

The Hisense HS622E90BUK is a well-judged family dishwasher that delivers where it counts: reliable cleaning, practical loading flexibility and genuinely useful features like a 30-minute quick wash and Dry+ enhanced drying. Its 13 place setting capacity, adjustable baskets and intuitive controls make it easy to slot into everyday life.

It does compromise slightly on energy efficiency and doesn’t offer smart connectivity or the very quietest operation, but for most households those trade-offs will be acceptable given the attractive price and strong real-world performance. The high user rating and stainless steel interior add further confidence in its long-term appeal.

If you’re after a sensibly priced, no-nonsense full size dishwasher that feels a step up from entry-level models without tipping into premium territory, the HS622E90BUK is an excellent option. Those who prioritise top-tier efficiency or advanced smart features may want to look higher up the range, but for the majority of kitchens this Hisense will be more than up to the job.
