Hotpoint WM53

Please forgive me for the terrible title although I think it fits rather well. The Hotpoint First Edition range provides excellent quality appliances at minimal cost, the washers come with spin speeds ranging from 800 up to 1200, depending on spin speed choice will vary the price of the appliance, obviously if you purchase the hifger spin sped model the price will be higher and vice versa.

We have a Hotpoint WM53 which was a wedding present 7 years ago.It was a new model at that time and cost about £350. The wash programmes are very good and spins your washing reasonably dry but the quick wash programme doesn't and leaves them wetter than a normal wash. **FEATURES** It has a 95, 60, 50 and 40 degree wash and a half load and economy option to save on time,energy and water and a prewash setting.

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have a Hotpoint First Edition 800, WM51. It came with my flat when I bought it in October. I realised that the reason that it was left there was that it has been wedged into its space so snugly that the counter top would need to be sawed off to get it out.

Hi all you washing machine geeks out there, I recently bought this machine from a reconditioned appliance shop, for what I describe is a bargain almost brand new condition, and only £10. I have had this machine 2 days now and I have already used it 6 times, I have 6 kids and I needed a machine after my old whirlpool philips gave up after 15years hard labor aww bless, anyway back to the hotpoint !, the spin speed is great faster than the old 1100 my whirlpool one did, the boil wash turns my kitchen into a lovely steamy sauna, the quick wash is ok and the rinsing is great. I also love how long ... more

The WM series of the hotpoint washer has always been a half decent machine,and if used within its means,can last a good few years with only minor work needed,most common problem is for the brushes to wear out,but are easily replaced,and easy to fit,behind that,the bearings can go. This perticular machine has good fuctions,good spin speed,and isn't to noisey on spin either!un-balenced loads can be a problem.The WM series drum has been used for many years,and has had most of the little niggles sorted out, Wash performance is pretty good,long as you dont over load it,it does use quite a lot of ... more
