We had a Zanussi washing machine that lasted almost 15 years and washed for a family of 5 (it was on twice a day). We hunted around for a replacement Zanussi, but somehow they just weren't up to the job anymore.

Eventually, we came across the Hotpoint range. We were a bit overwhelmed by the huge range available and different model numbers - so we whittled it down. We really needed a family-size washer, fast spin speed (because we tend to tumble dry everything), a wool-wash option and with having a mischievous toddler, a child lock.

The Hotpoint WT960P had all this and much, much more.

On getting it home, we looked at the space-age machine with it's bright blue LCD display and wondered how on earth we would ever get it to wash anything! (Our old machine had 4 wash options and a nice chunky dial - simple). However, it was remarkably easy to use. Within a few minutes we had our first wash purring away in the machine - ten times quieter than our old one.

We particularly like the fact that the LCD display shows how much time the cycle has left - which is a great feature considering the numerous wash options, which all have a different cycle length.

We were delighted after the first wash - well rinsed and as clean as you could possibly expect without having everything dry-cleaned. With having the faster spin speed of 1600rpm they came out barely damp - which enabled us to cut our tumble drying time down by almost 1/2 (our last machine was only 1000rpm).

All in all, an excellent machine that we are thrilled to bits with. Currently the cheapest place to purchase it is in Currys at £299. I don't think I would ever look back to Zanussi after trying Hotpoint.
