Who this dishwasher is best for

The HS622E90WUK suits households that want a straightforward, good-value dishwasher that can handle daily family loads. With 13 place settings and two baskets, it’s well matched to couples who cook most nights and families of three or four who run it once a day.

If you’re on a budget or replacing your first dishwasher, this model is a solid option. The energy rating of E is typical at this price point, and with an eco programme plus a half-load option, it’s designed to keep running costs sensible without complicating things.

It’s also a good fit for people who don’t want to faff with tech. There’s no Wi-Fi or app control, just clear button controls, an LED display and a remaining-time indicator. Programmes are easy to understand, from an intensive 60°C cycle for heavily soiled pans to a gentler glass/delicate option.

If you regularly wash tall pans, oven trays or large serving dishes, the height-adjustable upper basket and flexible cutlery basket will be especially useful, letting you reconfigure the interior to make the most of the 60 cm width.

What we like

The 13-place-setting capacity is ideal for most households, offering plenty of room without demanding a huge amount of kitchen space. The two-basket layout and flexible cutlery basket make it simple to load everything from cereal bowls to roasting tins.

The 30-minute quick wash at 40°C is a genuine everyday benefit. It’s perfect for lightly soiled plates, glasses and cups when you need a fast turnaround, such as between meals or before guests arrive.

The Dry+ function is another highlight. By boosting drying performance with higher temperatures, it helps get dishes more cupboard-ready at the end of the cycle, so you’re less reliant on a tea towel.

A height-adjustable top basket and flexible baskets overall make it easier to fit tall glasses or larger pots. Combined with an integral water softener and adjustable water hardness, it’s well suited to harder water areas.

Practical touches such as a self-cleaning filter, self-clean programme, salt and rinse aid indicators, 24-hour delay timer and remaining-time display all add up to a dishwasher that’s easy to live with day to day.

Where it could be better

The E energy rating and C-rated drying performance are acceptable at this price but not class-leading. If minimising energy use is your top priority, there are more efficient (though usually pricier) models available.

Noise is quoted at 47 dB with a C noise rating, which is reasonably quiet but not ultra-silent. In an open-plan living space you’ll hear it running, especially on intensive cycles, even though it’s marketed as “Super Silent”.

There’s no Wi-Fi or smart connectivity, which some modern dishwashers now offer for remote control and usage tracking. If you like app-based control and notifications, you won’t find them here.

Although there is a half-load function in practice, the standard eco programme still runs for a relatively long 225 minutes, so if you’re used to very fast eco cycles you may find the timing a little slow.

Everyday use

Day to day, the Hisense HS622E90WUK is designed to be straightforward. The front panel uses simple buttons and an LED display, so selecting a programme, adding Dry+ or setting the delay timer is quick and intuitive. A remaining-time indicator means you always know when the cycle will finish.

Loading is helped by a sensible internal layout. The height-adjustable upper basket lets you shift the rack up or down to make room for tall pans in the lower basket or long-stemmed glasses above. The flexible cutlery basket can be moved to improve space for larger dishes, and two spray zones ensure coverage across both levels.

Noise at 47 dB is more of a gentle background hum than an intrusive roar, so it’s fine to run in the evening, though particularly noise-sensitive households may prefer to use the 24-hour delay timer to schedule it for overnight or off-peak times.

Maintenance is light-touch 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 stainless steel interior should be durable and easy to wipe down if any food residue collects.

Installation is typical for a freestanding full-size dishwasher, with 1.5 m hoses and adjustable feet to help it sit level under standard-height worktops.

Performance and features

In performance terms, this Hisense focuses on reliable cleaning and flexibility rather than gimmicks. A 60°C intensive cycle tackles baked-on food and greasy pans, while the eco 45°C programme is there for day-to-day, mixed loads, balancing cleaning power with lower energy and water use.

The quick 30-minute 40°C wash is especially useful. While it’s not intended for heavily soiled cookware, it’s ideal for refreshing lightly used dishes, glasses and cutlery, making it a handy option for busy families and frequent entertainers.

There are up to eight programmes available, including glass/delicate, light 45°C, pre-rinse and a self-clean cycle, alongside three temperature settings. This gives you enough choice to match the wash to what’s inside without overwhelming you with options.

Drying uses residual heat, boosted by the Dry+ function when you need better results. It won’t match the very best A-rated drying systems, but for the price bracket it’s respectable and should leave most everyday items ready for the cupboard, especially plastics when Dry+ is selected.

On the protection and convenience side, you get anti-flood protection, child lock, integral water softener, half-load capability and an intuitive control layout. While it lacks premium touches like internal lighting, third cutlery drawers or smart connectivity, it covers all the essentials that matter for everyday use.

Value for money

At around £269, the HS622E90WUK sits in the affordable end of the full-size dishwasher market. Considering its 13-place capacity, flexible baskets, quick wash and Dry+ function, it offers a strong feature set for the money.

Running costs are reasonable rather than exceptional with an E energy rating, but the eco programme and modest 11-litre water consumption per cycle help keep bills under control, especially if you use the eco setting for most washes.

The two-year manufacturer warranty is a welcome addition at this price level, providing extra peace of mind beyond the basic one-year cover that some budget machines offer.

Most convincingly, the very strong user rating of 4.7 out of 5 from a large number of reviews suggests that buyers feel they’ve had good value and dependable performance over time. Overall, it’s a very compelling option if you want a capable, no-nonsense dishwasher without stretching your budget.

Our verdict

The Hisense HS622E90WUK is a well-judged full-size dishwasher that delivers where it counts: reliable cleaning, a genuinely useful quick wash, and flexible loading for everyday family life. It doesn’t chase flashy smart features, instead focusing on the basics and doing them well.

Energy and drying ratings are middle of the road, and there’s no app control or advanced drying system, so if you’re aiming for absolute top-tier efficiency and tech, you may want to explore more premium models. But those will also cost significantly more.

For most households looking for a sensibly priced, easy-to-use dishwasher that fits a family-sized load and has the backing of excellent owner feedback, this Hisense is an easy machine to recommend.
