When my old washing machine gave up the will to live at only 3 years old ( it was a servis and only cheap) I decided that this time I was going to make a list of all the things I wanted out of a washing machine and then trying to find one that met all the criteria.
I wanted a bigger drum load, my old machine was only 5kg I couldnt even get my sons single duvet in there and I seemed to be doing so many loads every week so i figured bigger drum would ... ...etc. I also wanted a energy efficent machine preferably AAA but a AAB would also do. Also I wanted a faster spin as my old machine was only a 1100 and my clothes felt really wet when they came out. Lastly something with a snazzy drawer or hidden drawer as my baby daughter had a nasty habit of slipping her fingers in the handle of the other one. So i shopped about and came came across the Aqualtis range I loved the look of it straight away and as ...

Advantages: Very quiet, efficient, wide choice of cleaning modes, stylish looks Disadvantages: None whatsoever
...ghost, I decided to try Hotpoint based on a personal recommendation.
On delivery and installation of this machine, first impressions were really good. The door and its locking mechanism has a nice solid feel to it and feels it will stand the test of time. A very neat design touch is the integration of the console onto the door itself, which gives the machine a modern look that should compliment any kitchen. The console itself is well laid out, with ... ...nice. The drum is large enough to take a double-sized duvet (and provides a Duvet programme). Hotpoint even give you a washbag for delicate items and a well written manual and quick guide.
This machine is flawless. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Buy one. You won't regret it. ...

Quick review of Hotpoint AQXXF149PI
Our previous machine was a Hotpoint - lasted more than twenty years and over 3000 washes. Our service engineer recommended this model to us.
This new machine is a revelation: big capacity, quiet, efficient, well designed, easy to operate, plenty of programmes with the option of changing temperature and spin speed. Particularly useful is the tilted drum, which allows the machine to be stopped at any part of the cycle and the door opened to add or remove items.
I'll give my final verdict on the machine in twenty years but, for now, it is absolutely spot on. ...

Quick review of Hotpoint AQXXF149PI
Having had previous (bad) experience of a Hotpoint Washing Machine, I was tempted back by this 'new' concept machine. I am so glad I did! One is able to wash a full size duvet efficiently as well as your most delicate silk undies. The machine is so incredibly quiet that I often double check to make sure it's turned on. I would heartily recommend this machine for it's economy, wash results, quietness and, of course, value for money! ...

Advantages: large capacity, fast and clean washes, good looking Disadvantages: inadequate wool wash, noisier than expected
this machine is brilliant for anyone who never stops washing. I do around 20 washes a week so the machine is on most of the day. I particularly like the timer which means I can set it to do the wash early morning before I get up and then put the clothes on the line first thing in the morning.
The display and functions are easy to use and there are programs for any conceivable load.
I would say however, that the aqualtis is not really that quite ...

Advantages: Really quiet and big drum Disadvantages: quite pricey
...am really pleased with my hotpoint which I purchased two months ago. I have two boys and my washing machine is never off. Before I got this I could hear my washing machine constantly this is really quite and you can't hear from the next room. When looking fro a washing machine I wanted one which would lock the detergent drawer as my youngest has a wonderful habit of opening it when the machine is on resulting in water and powder everywhere. Since ... ...the drawer is located behind the main door so once you have shut the door you can no longer see it never mind open it!
Another feature which is really useful is the child lock once pressed no one can change the program the machine is set to.
The clothes come out of this washing machine almost dry, thus reducing the amount of time I have to use the dryer.
I have had no problems with my machine at all it is on at least twice a day and the clothes ...

Advantages: Quiet, large drum Disadvantages: Can take longer to complete a cycle
This machine is my saviour.
I live in a shared flat on the first floor. Our old machine sounded like a tractor when it was spinning. This machine has an almost silent spin on it. Our neighbours no longer complain that the machine sounds like it's going to come through their ceiling...
Also, boys being boys, they struggle to use anything that involves cleaning! It's so easy to use, that i often find they have now done their own washing! You have ... ...machine also has a big drum so you can do a good amount of washing in one load.
This machine is great and i would recommend it to anyone. Would be good type of machine to put in a furnished, rented property
