Very noisy at 1600 spin, cycles take forever!

Advantages: washer and dryer in one.
Disadvantages: cycles take forever, will make quite a noise when it operates at 1600 speed spin.

How they can call this machine super silent I don't know. Users who say it is quite are not using the 1600 spin (granted this is only on offer for the cotton cycle). Although visually the machine looks good with a digital display, the brains seem very old and I am very disappointed as I expected a lot from this appliance. If I could return it I would get a low cost washer and dryer as two separate machines - thats what I have in my second property ...
...same. Creases Galore (The drum is fairly small even though the wash is rated at 8kg). Larger drums = less creases. Good for small spaces, but don't bother getting the 1600 model. Although given the poor cycle times, it might be best to avoid this series all together. One strange item to report: if you don't undo the buttons of your shirts and run the 1600 cycle, the machine somehow breaks the buttons into pieces :( ...

Brand new and impressive !

Advantages: Quiet and easy to use
Disadvantages: none so far

...deal and found the HOTPOINT WML520 White Washing Machine at the cheaper price of £254. 99 at Dixon’s I was happy. In the other shops it was a little dearer so I was happy to pay this for a new space age looking machine to replace my old dinosaur. So what does it do ? Well, its brilliant ! The machine is the standard size and fits under the work top into the little gap where the other machine lived, it’s a nice white colour and fits in nicely with ...
...50p each wash, my new HOTPOINT WML520 White Washing Machine used 22p ! How brilliant is that ? I was amazed at how much electricity this new machine is going to save me. 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. Wool, quick wash, delicates, pre-wash ect. I ...

Theres no (hot) point in buying any other machine!

Advantages: Very quiet, stylish, energy saving..... Need I go on??
Disadvantages: Have not found one as yet!

...reviews before eventually choosing the Hotpoint BHWM129, which was described by some as having a built in fully functional laundry in your kitchen. It has a large wash load of 6.5kg which is useful for washing larger items like bath towels or even duvets but also leaves fewer creases in clothes when a smaller load is put in. It has an energy rating of A, which is the best you get and will save you money by using a lot less electricity and as it ...
...and the environment. Similarly it has a top of the range wash performance rating again of A, which simply means it gives the best wash performance available and is proven to be super efficient at removing stains. It has a hand wash function which is particularly useful if you have a lot of clothes marked for hand wash only but have no time or just can't be bothered with hand washing you can now use this very delicate wash to save any hand washing. ...

Poor product quality and poor service

Advantages: Unusual colour and lots of pretty LEDs
Disadvantages: Unreliable

...they passed the problem to Hotpoint by contacting them to arrange a service visit. The absolute earliest service visit Hotpoint can offer is 7th January -therefore having decided to go directly for a replacement machine following the failure of our previous Bosch machine ( 5 years of hard use fair enough) we are now expected to wait for 6 days without a washing machine, not easy when you are a family of 5. Also note the Hotpoint service and support ...
