Hotpoint Washing Machine

Advantages: quick,energy efficient,quiet
Disadvantages: Quite Unreliable

...Lets face it it's a minefield out there when trying to choose the right Washing Machine for the right household.When you look buying one its a number of things price,drum capacity and Energy Rating.Price is probably the most influential factor in your purchase when i bought this one it cost me around £280 about 3 years ago i think you can get it for half that now.Although i would't say it has been repair man free it has'nt gave me that much bother partly because i have one of these accident repair insurance policy thingies.So far in 3 years i have needed to replace 2 drum belts,a new filter,a new PCB Module and a few other technical bits without cost to myself .The repair man said in all the parts on one visit came to £290 alone thats a new Washing Machine!! When new its fairly easy to install if you have some basic plumbing skills...

Review of Hotpoint WMA32

hotpoint aquarius washer dryer wd440

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: many too many to mention

...I have had this washer dryer for three years...In my opinion three years too long. In fact the first one i had lasted one month before it broke down, the retailer immediately replaced it with a new one...This should have warned me of things to come! Since then i have had the engineers out well over 6 times luckily i purchased insurance...The faults I have had are as follows :- leaking, no heat ( twice) very noisy knocking noise, not spinning and blocking up...there is no access point for the filter so you have to get the engineer in to take the machine apart and unblock it!! Not only have i had these faults in my opinion the machine is extremely noisy...And finally, what prompted me to write this review It has just taken the dryer 3 hours to dry three towels that were barely damp...I know that washer dryers cant be compared to dryers...

Review of Hotpoint WD440G

Elegant Washing Machine

Advantages: Simple
Disadvantages: not applcable

...I believe my hubby and I made a very good choice in buying Hotpoint WML540 as replacement to our 5 years old LG Washing Machine. I fell in love with its silver color which is so trendy and quite a big change from the usual white washing machines I've previously owned. The noise it creates while doing the job is just manageable and tolerable. I love the simplicity of this product. I really hate complicated machines but this one is not. It has no confusing details and the variations could be learned effortlessly. Indeed it is very simple and easy to use. This product really does serve its purpose of doing the laundry well and good. I am happy because it is worth the money I paid. Indeed, I am not only satisfied with its performance but also very proud and elated because my friends say my washing machine is classy! This is my most...

My review of the Hotpoint WF840 Washing Machine.

Advantages: Super silent when washing, Large Drum, LCD Information Panel and easy operation.
Disadvantages: Not as quiet as you would expect when going into spin mode.

...A very good machine and easy to use. Very quiet in wash mode you can hardly hear it working but don?t expect it to be silent as its getting ready to spin. It seems that Hotpoint put Super Silent on the washing machine and in the sales brochures where I think in fact they should put the words 'Super Silent Wash' which would be more appropriate whereas in wash mode the motor is so silent it gives the consumer the impression that the spin will be super silent as well, whereas in fact as the spin as its creeping up to and slowing down from spinning seems to buzz/vibrate at certain stages but when at its top speed of 1400rpm although yes it is quieter than some other machines on the market when spinning I wouldn?t call it Super Silent! The LCD panel lights up a lovely Blue colour when on and the soft touch buttons are nice too. I...

Review of Hotpoint WF840

Hotpoint WT940 washing machine

Advantages: good selection of programs, lcd display, fast spin speed, quiet in operation
Disadvantages: Doesn't stay silent for ever, but not bad.

...I bought this product 18 months ago to replace my previous Hotpoint machine as that had served me very well for many years. It has not let me down. There are lots of programs to choose from and they can be altered to suit your needs. I.e. you can change the temperature, spin speed or number of rinses. All the information is displayed in an easy to read LCD screen so you know exactly what program you are using and during the wash cycle it tells you what part of the program it is on and how many minutes left until it is finished. I like the child lock feature to prevent little fingers stopping it or changing the settings and you can store your favourite program to be recalled at the press of a button. There is a wide range of program lengths and these are displayed when you select your settings. This machine was whisper quiet when I got it...

Review of Hotpoint WT940

Cleans, freshens and maintains your washer

Advantages: Easy to use, very effective
Disadvantages: Takes around 2 ½ hours. Stainless steel drums only.

..."Dr. Beckmann Service-it" is a liquid washing machine cleaner that claims to "clean, freshen and maintain against breakdowns and malfunctions". The makers recommend that it be used every 3 months (or 40 washes) in order to rid your washing machine drum, pipes, seals, etc. of any build-up of detergent residue and grime. Also, by cleaning, to dispel any odours, and maintain efficiency by eliminating any build-up of limescale on the heating elements. The product is to be found in the 'laundry aides' section in many supermarkets, and can be purchased direct from the manufacturer's online shop at www.acdomart.co.uk. ~ My reason for using ~ I am keen to reduce my carbon footprint and have switched most of my wash loads to 30 or 40 degrees. However, when I recently used a 60 degree cycle (with high spin speed) I was surprised...

Review of Dr. Beckmann Service-it Washing Machine Cleaner

A Washing machine

Advantages: washes clothes
Disadvantages: none

...I was using a washing machine one day it was a Hotpoint, a Hotpoint WF320G. This machine is a couple of years old now and seems to be going ok. This washing machine is a graphite colour , choosen to match the kitchen I guess. It is energy efficient having an A rating. It runs at 1.19 kw hours The wash efficiency is also an A rating the spin however is only a B efficiency rating running at 120 rpm. This machine is not the best at water consumption using15.85 gal per wash. This machine stands 84.99cm tall is 59.51 cm wide and 57.99in depth. The controls are a dial and there is a digital display. The time remaining for the wash is displayed. The start can be delayed so you can put the wash in and set it to come on when you want it too. There is a quick wash setting and a mini load setting ideal for Dad on his own...

Review of Hotpoint WF320P

hotpoint washing machine WT 761

Advantages: many choices for your wash cycle
Disadvantages: not the quietest!

...I have to disagree a little with the previous review as i also have owned this washing machine for the past three months. overall yes it is a great washing machine but there are some flaws, ill start with the good anyway! the display telling you how long you have left until the wash is complete is excellent, also it has the capabilty of doing different set time wash cycles, handy if you only have a certain amount of time. another great is the ability to choose your cycle depending on what you are washing, if you have delicates there is the sensitive drum cycle where the drums wont move as much. if you choose stain blaster, the drums move in a more rigid way to attack the stains! you also have the ability to choose your spin speed, being a rated this great as it means if you only need a 1000 spin wash you only have to do a 1000 spin...
