Fans of Polish appliances have another reason to rejoice. The budget-friendly Hotpoint Ariston LSTB 4B00 dishwasher has gone on sale.

Opinions of housewives

Regina, St. Petersburg

When you only have $300 to spare, it's hard to count on buying a decent dishwasher. I figured I'd just be washing dishes by hand for a couple more months, but the next day a friend dragged me to the mall, and I saw a cute Hotpoint Ariston LSTB 4B00. The price was suspiciously low—$288—but after some persuasion from the manager, I caved in and bought it. It's been four months now, and here's what I can tell you.

1. The machine can be installed literally with my eyes closed, at least that's what my husband told me. He spent 40 minutes connecting it and hanging the front.
2. The dishwasher has very convenient controls, and the baskets are designed in such a way that laying out the dishes according to the instructions becomes a simple operation.

The dish racks can be pulled out or moved up or down. This is helpful when you need to wash a large frying pan, baking sheet, or pot.

3. The machine doesn't have many features, as it's a budget option after all, but the manufacturer has included a half-load function, which is very helpful when both baskets don't fit enough dishes.
4. It also has 4 washing programs and 3 temperature settings.

Unfortunately, the Hotpoint Ariston LSTB 4B00 doesn't recognize tablets, so I have to use powdered detergents, but I don't mind such trifles. The machine has plenty of capacity, so I'm giving it a thumbs up!

A simple and very useful machine for the home. It washes perfectly and is not affected by voltage fluctuations. It's easy to use, and the dishes inside the wash tank dry well. The best part is that it's inexpensive, so even if it only lasts a couple of years, it won't be a big deal. I highly recommend it!

The Hotpoint Ariston LSTB 4B00 is a very economical and affordable machine for everyone. It's well-built, quiet, and uses all detergents except tablets. Its technical specifications aren't as good as those of many modern machines, but that doesn't matter to me, because my new "home helper" does its job perfectly.

Julia, Novosibirsk

The low price is the only positive about this pathetic dishwasher. It revealed all its flaws after just one use: it refused to dissolve the detergent and didn't clean the pans well. Luckily, I was able to return it to the seller and buy a decent one instead. I highly recommend it!

Natalia, Ryazan

My husband tried to talk me out of buying this dishwasher, saying it was suspiciously cheap, but I went with my own plan and was right. It's a simple machine, sure, but it works remarkably well, meticulously cleaning even the toughest stains. My only gripe is the lack of a child lock; I have to lock the kitchen door while I'm washing it to keep my nimble son out of the dishwasher. That's all I have to say about the dishwasher, at least for me.

Larisa, Yekaterinburg

I didn't like the dishwasher, even though I honestly tried to figure out what was so good about it. I bought it at the insistence of my mother, who absolutely raved about the Hotpoint Ariston LSTB 4B00. I was hoping it would at least have some kind of end-of-cycle notification, but there's no final sound or beam of light on the floor. When the dishwasher was new, it smelled really bad. I'm incredibly unhappy, but I don't tell my mother; I don't want to upset her.

Men's opinions

Nikolay, Lipetsk

It feels like the manufacturer ripped out all the expensive sensors from the Hotpoint Ariston LSTB 4B00 and left everything that affects the machine's functionality. I'm against cutting the price at any cost, especially since the quality has clearly suffered. We miss a tablet drawer. Our previous machine had a 3-in-1 function, and we've gotten used to it. Now we'll have to wean ourselves off the habit and use powder. There are no salt and rinse aid refill indicators, which is also inconvenient. Several times the salt ran out, and we didn't even know it. It's a terrible machine!

Yuri, Moscow

I bought this dishwasher at a home improvement store with literally all my spare change. I was planning on getting a refrigerator, but since I was able to save a bit, I also bought a Hotpoint Ariston LSTB 4B00 dishwasher. It's a really good dishwasher; my wife is happier with it than with her expensive new refrigerator. That's how it goes!

Oleg, St. Petersburg

The machine works great, and I've also noticed that it's economical. Since adding a dishwasher, we've been using 1.5 cubic meters less cold water. We might have saved on hot water as well, but we have a water heater. It also uses half as much detergent. Combined with water, that adds up to a noticeable savings. Well, that's not really the point; the main thing is that I no longer have to scrub dishes with a sponge, and that's a huge joy for me.

Alexey, Khabarovsk

I managed to get this built-in dishwasher with a 10% discount. It was really cheap, I thought I was getting ripped off with this appliance, but no. The machine has been working without any problems for almost a year and the dishes are always clean. Apparently I'm a pessimist; I'm more likely to believe in the bad than the good. I recommend this machine to everyone; get it—it's good technology!

Mikhail, Murmansk

The price of the machine is really attractive; I took it out of my paycheck and didn't even notice. I brought it home and installed it myself; everything was very easy. The machine only uses powder, but it cleans perfectly, without any complaints. I'm buying it. Finish dishwasher powderI haven't tried any other products. Five stars!
