Hotpoint WML 520 P

Don’t you just hate it when your washing machine gives up the ghost and you know that it’s time to put your hand into your savings to buy another one. I hate it when kitchen appliances break , especially the expensive one’s as you know they are going to set you back a few hundred quid or more. So, as my old tired washing machine has done it’s duty for a family of five for the past eight years is now on it’s way to the scrap yard. I headed out to town to have a look around the electrical stores to see if I could find a bargain washing machine. After looking around Curry’s Comet and Dixon’s I ... more

We have recently had to replace our washing machine which was not an enjoyable experience as if there is one thing I hate it's walking around stores like Curries and trying to figure out how the various machines difer and which one is right for me! We went for this Hotpoint machine as I like to stick to well known brands and it was rated as A in energy efficiency and apparently has a quick cycle. The washing machine Hotpoint is a well known brand which I trust. We have several Hotpoint items in our household and although they are slightly more expensive than other brands I think you pay for ... more

I bought this model recently after a lot of deliberation over price versus quality. I was interested in the Eco cycle option as a way of saving on electricity bills too.

The instruction manual is fairly basic, however it is easy to use with clear dials for setting ... more

My Washing machine went to washing machine heaven one Saturday morning so I took myself and my hubby to our local department store. There was a large range of Washing Machines with different prices, shapes, sizes, spin speed. After a few minutes one of the sales staff approached us and asked if they could help. He asked us a few questions regarding what was our price range and what size of family we had from this information he pointed out 2 different machines that ticked all the boxes and in the end it was the ease of use, the size of drum and the spin speed that made us decide on the ... more

This washing machine may not have fancy digital displays or flash metallic finishes but it dose do the job. The only problem I have with it is that it can be a little noisy and the belt sometimes slips if I have loaded it too much. On the whole I have had it 5 years and not needed a repair man once. The door opens smoothly and it clicks open when the wash is finished which is handy. The opening is big enough to load efficiently and shuts well with a firm click. I enjoy the simplicity of the dials which are easy to set and the display is self explanatory so it is easy to use. There is a very ... more

We went for this Hotpoint machine as I like to stick to well known brands and it was rated as A in energy efficiency and apparently has a quick cycle.Not only is it quiet but economical too. The washing cycles are easy to use with the dials on the front of the machine and an easy to follow numbered guide on the front of the left hand side. These are numbered for the various washes.
