HDA865

I grew up with that Hotpoint HDA865. It replaced the 1974 Whirlpool we had. I never really cared for that Hotpoint very much, it was very noisey and somewhat difficult to load. However, it did serve its purpose and it was better than washing the dishes by hand.

The HDA865 was what was in my house when I bought it at age 18 months January 1986, built July 1984.  I thought it was a very pretty looking dishwasher.  It was part of an "upgraded appliance package".  Yep it was noisy, top rack wass a challenge to load.  It didn't serve my purpose very well, that's why it got booted out May, 1987.  Chris, I think it's funny, you & I have had to exct same dishwashers in our lives lol.  The Hotpoint and the Kenmore Elite.

Over-styled to the max.................................

Some of the ugliest over-styled dishwashers ever. Why did GE keep producing this brand? I remember seeing Hotpoint only available in some stores like Newmark and Lewis, and sometimes I remember seeing GE and Hotpoint together. Hotpoint everything was butt ugly...sorry even their washers were ugly, and I LOVE GE Filter-Flo washers and appliances. I think GE tried too hard to over style all Hotpoint appliances.....any thoughts?

Well Mike, we're like complete opposites in how we view these dishwahers.  I particularly liked the top two models because of the all-black and chrome look, very stylish for the time.   When I got my GE GSD1200, I sold the Hotpoint to a lady from work for $25.  She was thrilled with the black glass look.  I told her you cannot leave much food stuffs on the dishes, it doesn't clean that well.  (She rinsed anyway).  All she cared about was the look.  Her kitchen was a 1970s harvest gold Whirlpool kitchen.

Deluxe Rack photo

Anyone notice the row on the right that has the coffee cup/mugs in the "wide-mouthed" row?  And then absolutely nothing on the extreme outside next to the right side of the rack.  There was never a really good way to load that top rack and get a lot in if you loaded it the way it was shown in that photo.  Nate wanna chime in here???!!!

Hotpoint Control Panels

I also thought the Hotpoint control panels of this era were handsome. I really like the black control panel with the blue and silver highlights on both their laundry products and their dishwashers. I never realized there was so much hate for this brand in it's later incarnations...

 

I've personally never been a huge GE/HP dishwasher fan from experience with the more recent, lower-end units I've come across in apartment dwelling. Say withing the last 15-20 years, the lower end machines just didn't wash well at all, and from what I can see, the design is similar to these. Now my friend has a GE PotScrubber 1200 and that thing does a fine job at anything she throws at it, and she has no idea how to use a dishwasher. I had to inform her that Dawn was not for the dishwasher. "I don't use the thing cause' it leaks..." I wonder why...?!

This might be what you are thinking about....

I wish I had something in a picture of the actual machine.

Hotpoint made these models for JCP

Hotpoint used the dial on the toploading models
