Score 10.0/10

+ I am very satisfied with the washing machine, I like the eco programme, just for two of us I can wash a little often. We live in an apartment and so I am happy with the good spin and so thing dry quickly inside.

Ros, Durham , “Retired”

Score 8.0/10

+ the 30 minute eco wash is very useful,pity about the lower spin afterwards.Because of the cold water fill am having to change my washing methods to avoid the very lengthy programmes so it is little and often now.
The choice controls are very clear and easy to set plus you know how long the programme will take.The lack of this feature put me off buying another Zanussi.
The 1400 spin is good but wish I had gone for the 1600.-a litre of water extra removed!

- The lengthy 2hour plus programmes.As this is common to all new machines the criticism cannot be aimed at Hotpoint only. I can see new machines being produced in 5 to 10 years time as trail blazers because they are hot water filled!!

Type of Loading	Front Loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine. Front loading is when the door is on the front of the machine and top loading is when you put washing in through an opening at the top of the machine. When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop).
