Washer Dryers > Hoover Washer Dryers > 1200

Advantages: Fast spin, easy to use, great when working
Disadvantages: unreliable, poor design for use with small pieces or clothing

Poor build quality. Had this machine for 3 years and had to use callout on warranty four times. Don't use colour catchers in this machine as they get trapped and cause the machine to flood (had this happen 4 times). Dryer has given out after 3 years (no heat) and we're looking at a replacement now. Certainly wouldn't say that Ariston goes "on and on" - for those that remember their old advert! Machine is easy to use with a 30 degree cycle as well ... Read review

Advantages: Looks good, well laid out, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Has the life expectancy of a Mayfly. Dryer not very efficient.

...unhelpful and unsympathetic service from Hotpoint themselves. The unit broke 4 times in the first year, always the dryer at fault. the 5th time faulty was just 2 weeks after the warranty expired. Hotpoint didn't care it was the same fault and told me I had to pay £90 pounds to have their engineer fit a part under their 5-year warranty. some warranty! after much arguing they sent an engineer who wrote the machine off! they replaced it after much arguing. ...

Advantages: Fills a gap in a kitchen while you wait for them to repair it.
Disadvantages: Cheaply made, even cheaper customer service

Hotpoint (Indesit are their parent company) will sell you their product through MFI and when the machine breaks, AND IT WILL, they will: A: Send an engineer out (at their convienience not yours). B: Tell you it must be your fault it's broken. C: Begrudgingly fix it (although this will take 4 visits - again at their convienience) D: The machine will break in exactly the same place (cheap plastic paddles that make the clothes tumble) in less than 3 ...
...out of date and that they will only send an engineer to look at the product if you pay them £104 UPFRONT!! Even though the parts they replaced are 3 months old and therefore technically still in warranty. Listen to those voices that tell you you'd be a mug to go anywhere near Hotpoint, Indesit and MFI. P.S. The fact that you have a 10 month old child that needs clean clothes ever day is somewhat of an irrelevnce to them. I'm still dealing with Trading ... Read review

Advantages: It washes shit
Disadvantages: Too noisy

I recently became a homeowner so I have had to spend lots of money on furnishing my house. As I am a first time buyer I had to start from scratch. My kitchen is a good size which is possibly the reason why we bought the house, although saying this we didnt want to buy both a washing machine AND a dryer. For this reason we decided to go for the washer/dryer combination. Before we bought the appliance I heard many contrasting things about buying a ...
...as it takes up less space in the house and works out cheaper as you are not buying two appliances. On the other hand I heard peope say that washer/dryer combinations can be more tempermental and if one of the options (washer or dryer) breaks down then you lose both of them. Anyway, after all this we did decide to buy the appliance and went with this product as it seemed like the best value compared to anything else that was around at the time. This ... Read review
