Family Time

The kitchen. Not a place you always want to spend your evenings. Unless of course you go to a lot of parties (all the best parties end up in the kitchen). But like it or not, the kitchen is the nerve centre of the family home - the heart of the household. Invariably, it's also the place where things tend to get a little heated. And we're not just talking about dinner. Whose turn it is to wash up is a hotly contested issue!

Avoid the Kitchen Sink Dramas

You know your family appreciate your cooking, but when were you last thanked for washing up afterwards? When it can take longer than preparing or eating dinner in the first place (and at least cooking can be enjoyable), you know there must be a better way of getting dishes clean. Begrudgingly, you do the honours. But you could easily avoid your own kitchen sink drama simply with an extra pair of hands. With a Hotpoint dishwasher, kitchens can be calm again. The heart of the household is once more a hive of productivity, rather than endless drudgery. With an extra pair of hands to take on the aftermath of family meals, cooking can be as creative and cathartic as it should be. The less rewarding part can be delegated to the machine.

And admit it - it's a machine that can normally do a better job than us anyway! The Hotpoint Flexipower intelligent sensor system will automatically adjust the profile of the wash cycle, depending on the dirt detected on your dishes.

Feet up on the sofa, admiring your smoother, softer hands, you'll wonder how they managed to make washing dishes so easy. Hotpoint dishwashers also feature an intensive Baby Cycle to tackle harmful bacteria, another weight off your mind if your washing up is mostly of the brightly coloured plastic variety.

Get the Whole Family Stacking

That extra pair of hands in the corner of the kitchen means yours are protected and free to spend on the important things, not tied to the kitchen sink. Yes, a dishwasher needs to be stacked. But there's an art to this that (with any luck) breeds some healthy family competitiveness. Like manning a barbeque, dishwasher stacking tends to be a peculiarly male pursuit. Carelessly placed crockery on the top shelf meets with disapproving looks and corrective action. So if you're feeling lazy after a long stint with Delia, Jamie or Nigella, you know what to do. Make a hash of the stacking. Even the kids could do a better job? So let them!
