Hotpoint CTD00

Advantages: Works most of the time
Disadvantages: Most of the time isn't especially advantageous surely?

I actually purchased my Hotpoint CTD00 second hand in all honesty though it was less than a year old at purchase (and still is I believe). Now I know why the couple were so keen to sell it. They told me they'd paid £249.99 for it new and looking around I find it does indeed retail for that sort of price. I spotted this in the Friday Free Ads for £80 and managed to get it for £70 including free delivery (like I said, now I know why they were so keen). ...
...nearly new condenser dryer by Hotpoint of all people. But the problems unfortunately started right away. As soon as the sellers bought the dryer into the flat and plugged it in no less. On closing the door and switching the dryer on, nothing happened. One of the sellers fiddled around with a few bits, looked all around the machine a few times, tried it once or twice; still nothing happened. After a few minutes the seller realised that the door sensor ... Read review

Advantages: use anywhere, no vent pipes, good looks
Disadvantages: cleaning condenser, a little bit noisey

...landfill. So to the Hotpoint CTD00. In the shop (comet) A long line of white boxes stretched as far as the eye could see. Salespeople who wanted to be at home or down the pub. So engage brain--Old Hotpoint lasted 5 years + Wife wants condensing dryer+Machine with least amount of buttons = Hotpoint CTD00 £199.99 Job Done. Warning. Comes in polyethene wrapper with polysterene side protection. The first one Mr Warehouse got out was dented. In ...
...(surely we can pack things without poly stuff that does'nt use 2 barrells of oil) Wife finds suitable site (my computer room--great ) plug in and away. I am left to read instruction book! Not alot to it really. Empty water draw after each use, and clean condenser every month (more of that later). So it sits there rumbles away. stops every now and then, goes into reverse, stops makes a funny vibrating noise (which is when it condenses). It has ... Read review

this item was good for the first 6 months then it started to go down hill then 15 days after the warranty went 12months 15days it totally went on me the heating elements would not heat thedrum would not go around and after stripping the thing down and replacing the heating elements which cost me 45 pound the drum would still not go around was told it was the drum motor by the appliance man (local shop in town) and that would cost me over 100 pound truely the worse electrical appliance i have ever brought do not touch with a barge pole

Advantages: Condenser - no need for vented hose
Disadvantages: Noisy, door catch seems a bit fragile

...over the Internet. The Hotpoint fitted the bill and was within my price range (£200), plus I had owned a Hotpoint Washing Machine in the past which was reliable. The machine was simplicity itself to set up - once i had removed the packaging (it only weighs 35 kilos so was quite easy to manouvre into position, i am a 9 stone woman) i just needed to plug it in! I had imagined dad/boyfriend assistance would be needed but no! Instructions are easy to ...
...loads and fabric types. However it is easy enough to stop the machine mid cycle and check if some of the lighter items are almost dry. The machine has a filter which collects fluff and a bottle for condensed water and it is important to empty these regularly. The drum is very large - 7kg capacity - which i do not fill, but find it easy to load up, and this would make a huge difference to a family. The door is large too - the whole front of the machine, ... Read review

Advantages: Large drying capacity
Disadvantages: flimsy door catch with touch pad opening

...to be a condensor. The Hotpoint CTD00 seemed just what i was looking for and so far it fits the bill. It has a large 7kg drying capacity and at only 180.00 from Co-Op it wasn't too dear either. The fluff filter and water bottle are easy to empty. I recomend emptying the fluff filter after every load and the water bottle after every 3 because when full it holds 5kg of water and can be difficult to empty with out spillages. It has two heat settings ...
...again, so again I rang hotpoint and out came the engineer, adjusted the door and said it should be ok, and again when I came to use it condensation formed. This proces happened again until the engineer replaced the door and seal. But agin condensation formed so again I rang hotpoint who said the new seal needed time to settle and to give it at least 10 loads of drying before i rang again. This I did but the condensation was still comning out and ... Read review

Advantages: Great little Mover
Disadvantages: None

...During the summer when it is warm I always do my drying on the line in my garden but during the winter and wet weather I can't so for these times I have bought a condenser tumble dryer. Whilst looking to purchase one I wanted to make sure I got a reliable brand which didn't need venting to the outside and one that would compliment my kitchen. I looked around all the usual store's and eventually settled on the Hotpoint CTD0P from John Lewis. I ordered it which took 3 days to arrive and paid a very reasonable £279.00 this has now gone down by £10.00 to just £269.00. The machine when I set it up was simple just plug in and go as it has a built in condenser that gathers up all the moisture and is emptied by removing the tray from the bottom and emptied down the sink. The instructions are very straight forward and although... Read review

Advantages: Great Features, Great Performance
Disadvantages: Energy Rating C

...Being a large family we tend to have the washing machine and tumble dryer on all the time especially with the babies bit's and pieces needing washing on a daily basis. About a year ago now our old Hotpoint tumble dryer broke down on us so we decided to go out and get another. After shopping around both on the high street and online we settled on another Hotpoint but this time the CTD40 model in Silver/Graphite to match the existing appliances in our kitchen. We ordered it from Argos for the very reasonable price of £299.00 now reduced to £277.00 and within 3 days it was all delivered and up and running. The new Hotpoint was an absolute luxury compared to the older model we had before and with so many different setting's and energy saving technology it really is amazing how a tumble dryer can be made so advanced and so quiet. The real... Read review
