    4 Stars A washer-dryer well worth a spin 22/02/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A real space saver for smaller houses and efficient at both washing and drying

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very noisy and no timer to show how long there is to go on a setting

    I am very satisfied with my recent purchase of a Hotpoint WDL540 washer-dryer. But at the same time it does have its pitfalls. The trouble with washer dryers is that because they have to perform two different functions, one of these functions tends to be sub-standard to the other. I have used washer-dryers before where the drying facility has been quite poor, for example, leaving clothes quite damp despite being in the dryer for a significant amount of time. With this washer-dryer however, this is not the case. It performs both functions up to the same high standard. The washing function is ... more

    4 Stars Hotpoint-Ariston WDL540 - a good little machine 21/10/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None o far

    How much... OK, i recently bought this machine due to a minor disaster at home which left me with no washing machine for several weeks. I paid £379 for the Graphite machine, but this included delivery, fitting and warranty for 2 years. I bought mine at Woollacotts, which is a regional electrical supplier. However, i was shown the current Hotpoint catalogue and this was in there, so i am assuming it is accessible in a number of retailers - on the DooYoo site they seem to be available around the £340 price. The Look... As i say, i have the Graphite machine. This is a goodlooking machine. It is ... more

    1 Star Look elsewhere, please research! Hotpoint wdl540p avoid! 08/12/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy enough to use.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No timer, loud, creasing, poor build, poor drying, no access filter, poor aftercare.

    This Hotpoint also comes as a wdl540g the grey model, so research both as they are the same machine. The machine it's self is easy to use apart from the obvious, no timer function so you have no idea how long until the end of a cycle. Actually putting a wash and dry on is easy enough. The machine it's self is loud and I mean loud, if you have a small house or open plan don't bother, could not have this machine on at night or settle to watch a film for this reason and our house is on the large side. The machine takes and age to wash or dry anything, the cycles are very long, with no timer to ... more

    4 Stars The ease of a washer/dryer 12/01/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages wash and dry in one go! Easy to set, wide ranging choice of programmes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slow boil wash

    I have recently purchased this machine and am a first time user of the washer/dryer style machine! I find that although it takes a while to boil wash, overall the machine is efficient and easy to operate, although i find the dryer a little slower than my old traditional seperate dryer, the ease of programming the machine to wash then dry means if im out, when i return home, its all done, no loading and unloading two machines......as machines go this one is very fairly priced and a good buy! I invested in a product repair/replacement plan also, just in case, so i am not worried about breakdown ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages very smooth running , easy to opperate , large drum

    Disadvantages Disadvantages boilwash takes for ever

    this was a replacement for our old hotpoint machine which lasted around 12 years without a single problem , of freinds had a range of faults with there machines ame time ,so we opted to be loyal to the n this one. we had never had room before for a dryer and i must admit i was a little worried at having two machines in one , if one broke it meant both where broke, however not having much room we decided to give it a go , the first and most obvious diferance was the much larger drum to our older machine, and it is also much smoother running , the spin is very efficient and far better than our ... more

    1 Star Awful! 23/12/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages The manual half load choice.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive to run, far too long cycles, noisy, bad after service

    We bought a HOTPOINT WDL540 in July, it's now December and it's broken down twice already. Hotpoint Service is awful, the engineer admitted they do not replace machines no matter how many times it's broken. We had to wait 9 days for the engineer to come only to be told he didn't have the right part so would have to wait until the new year for a repair - 3 weeks in total. That's not great when you have a 5 month old baby! Back to the machine itself, the cycle times are far too long, the dryer takes forever to dry even the smallest load, it's ridiculously loud and .... well AWFUL! Our latest ... more

    3 Stars There are better for the money 22/09/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Very good Washer/ Dryer Combi

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Inaccessible Filter

    I've have had this particular model for little over the 12 month warranty, I have had to have the engineer out twice since the warranty finished. The filter is not accessible to the average Joe like you and I, you have to get someone out to dismantle the machine, where as on most other models there is a little square door on the front, not with this one. I had a pen top and a 2p stuck in the filter and it cost a call out fee to fix £105 The major issue I had with the the "command module", yes I know it sounds like something from star trek, but im assured thats what its called, this broke and ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages easy to operate

    Disadvantages Disadvantages everything else

    We bought our Hotpoint washer dryer about 3 months ago and have just had to call the engineer out for the second time, we are not impressed. I am used to having seperates but when my washing machine broke Ithought it would be a good idea to have an all in one to save space, big mistake. This machine is very easy to operate but the programmes, washing and drying take forever, I am not looking forward to receiving my electric bill this quarter. The dryer is next to useless considering how long it takes to dry just a handfull of clothes, and then it all comes out extremely creased, i'v never had ... more
