Advantages: Very quiet, large load big enough for duvets, fast spin, easy to use, all electronic controls and display, time remaining display Disadvantages: Door lock delay is annoying, some wash options can't be used simultaneously, can't change programme type during wash, cheap photocopied manual
...now, after previously owning another Hotpoint that lasted for 7 years; to be honest it could have been fixed but I fancied a new, quieter machine.
The WT965A is great. The first thing to get to grips with when buying a new Hotpoint is the model numbering, which is most odd. Why they changed from WM to WT I still don't know, but the higher the number the higher up the range the machine is. The letter at the end is for colour - A stands for aluminium, ... ...(of course!) and G means graphite (a 2 tone silver/grey combo). Oddly, this model comes as a WT960P, a WT960G and the WT965A. The aluminium one is exactly the same as the white and graphite ones, so I've no idea why it gets a different model number or higher price tag.
3 main things stand out about this machine. One, It's much quieter than previous Hotpoints. When washing, all you can hear is the water sloshing about, no motor can be heard. The ...

Advantages: super silent, big drum, child lock and usefull programming Disadvantages: lots of packaging to get rid of that you cant put in the recycling bin
I had my new washing machine delivered during the week, it was protected by polystyrene and wrapped in a plastic sheeting so that it would not be damaged during delivery. It also came with an instruction book which was clear and easy to follow. I found the washing maching very easy to install and to get started. The size of the drum is 7kg suitable for a family and a lot bigger than the drum on my last washing machine. The washing machine is easy ... ...machine is very clear showing the door lock symbol, the options you have chosen, the time remaining and what stage of the cycle it is at. You can choose from different cycles, temperatures and spin speeds and even set the cycle as to how dirty your washing is making it easier to get the correct cycle for your clothes. There is also a timer delay where you can set the timer and the washing will start automatically at the time of your choice within ...

Advantages: Soooo quiet Disadvantages: Can't think of any
I was very pleasantly surprised when I first used my machine. To start with, it was a good price compared to other machines of similar spec, it looks so smart. Then the installation was really simple. I first used it without looking at the instruction manual (a basic wash is simple and obvious to do). The 'time to end' display is really useful. But by far the best thing about this machine (apart from the fact that it gets the clothes so clean) is ...

Advantages: I love the way you can individualise your washing needs, the how dirty setting is good and also the hand wash option as i hate washing by hand Disadvantages: the controls can be sensitive, if you lean on them by accident you can turn machine on or off or pause the wash without knowing
I have never had a problem with my machine, i've had it nearly a year now and time after time it always performs. I use it 3 times a day plus with my family of 2 adults and 3 children, two of which are 1 and have been in washable nappies since they were born. The nappies always come out clean and sometimes they are really unpleasant before hand. Its very Quiet too, i have it set to come on in the early hours so ready to hang out when i get up and ... ...handy especially as some baby items can be hand wash only like the cosy toes from the pushchair that i have, would of put the handwashing off, but now all those items can go in the machine too. saves time.Overall an excellent efficient washing machine that looks good too! well i'm very pleased! ...

Advantages: none Disadvantages: stopped working after 4 weeks
...a "computer says no" approach to any request for help.
Even when 365electrical.com eventually sorted out the problem and got us a new machine, Hotpoint failed to deliver it because they forgot to put it on the van! Appalling customer service - will never buy Hotpoint/Indesit again ...

This Hotpoint washing machine is my most recent washing machine. I bought it because I , like many others, usually do not use the tumble dryer at all. I dry my clothes either out in fresh air or on the radiators.... more
