I bought the silver model, which is the same apart from the finish, which was to suit my kitchen. I got a very good online offer and saved more than £50, buying from Sainsburys Electrical. It was a bit tricky to fit in my small and rather cramped kitchen, since the outlet pipe could not be changed easily for a longer one, due to having a particular filter fitting. I expect that the Calgon is needed more because of this lack of filter on our extended ...
...see it as a problem and perhaps paying for an instalation would have meant a longer pipe could have had the filter, but would have cost a fair bit to get someon out to do it. The machine is wonderfully efficient, although as one reviewer already mentioned, it can leave bobbly bits on the wash. I find this is best avoided by shaking out the clothes before the wash and using liquid detergents instead of powders. A quick wash takes just over an hour ... Read review

Having been without a washing machine, I was over the moon when this was delivered. Within ten minutes the plastic covering was ripped off it, bolts were out (Read the instrucions carefully n this as it ain't the easiest), and we got it balanced. And off it went, trying to sort the huge backlogue of washing that we had acquired. By the end of the wekend, it was having problems. And the jet stystem stopped working. So out the repair man came, and ...
...daughter of a TV engineer, I know it is impossible to carry every part around for every machine that they repair. So another 4 days without a washing machine. Then it was repaired and working fine. Then two weeks later, yet another problem. It started showing fault codes for no water supply. And started filling up with water even when it was switched off. So out they came again. After an hour, he started to get a little frustrated. And who came blame ... Read review

...warranty. As its electronics only Hotpoint can repair it. They want to charge £160 to repair with a 1 year warranty. A quick look on the internet and talking to some independent repairmen shows that this is a very unreliable model. So who knows how long it would last after that year! I have decided to bin it and get a Bosch washing machine instead as the dryer function was useless anyway! ... Read review

Advantages: Reliable repair people
Disadvantages: You might need them sooner than you think

Sorry Mr Hoover but I have really nothing good to say about this washer/dryer. We bought ours in December because it sounded like it could handle large loads and we thought our tumble dryer would be the next appliance to go so it seemed sensible to get a washer/dryer at the time. Other half was not impressed by the drying function which she said creased the clothes too much so we went back to using our old condenser dryer instead. About three ...
...we had to turn it off at the socket. Inside our load of towels were covered in small bits of plastic but we couldn't see where they came from. There was also a large inward facing dent in the drum. Well we called out a repair bod and to be honest it was quite quick as we called on the tuesday and he arrived on the friday. However on examining the machine he said he had never seen one develop this fault before. He said a clamp which holds the heating ... Read review
