Anonymous verified purchaser , “I am a dad”

+ Takes a very large load. Very very quiet. Good control over spin speeds and temperature, makes it easier to save energy. Economy light comes on when you are saving energy.
Memory buttons are a good idea so you can save your own cycle types. We tend to use 30c wash and a slightly lower spin speed to save energy, but one of our children has sensitive skin so we need to use a more intensive rinse; this info can be placed in the memory so we can now do this wash with a single press of button. They dryer is brilliant for these short winter days.

- For good reasons this machine is very heavy, so remember you will need two people to shift it.

Matthew, Winchester

+ Very nice looking and quiet machine. Really simple to use and childlock feature is invaluable. Also very nice to have the option to pause cycles if you need to add more washing etc.

- Unless you have fully read the set up instructions it is very easy for the machine to default to italian language in the display when you first connect ... be warned! If you don't speak italian this may be a nuisance!

Helen, Liverpool , “2.2 family”

+ Looks good and very quiet. Able to take very big wash load - 2 wash loads in one really. Good quick wash facility for half a load in < 30 mins.

- Long washing cycle for normal household 40 degrees cotton takes over 1 1/2 hours. Drying cycle 3 Hrs! However clothes come out cupboard dry

Vendetta , London

+ This is the best Washer/Dryer on the market. Easy to use and lots of programmes. Washes, rinses and dries at top rate. Not too sure of the Bed and Bath programme because I haven't tried it yet. The machine looks posh.

- Wished there was a TV connected at the front. I just love looking at it. No bad points.

+ This machine is very easy to use -self explanatory washing cycles with a turn of a knob. you can also personalise washes to suit you ie adjust the temp or spin cycle and it will save it for a future use. Very quiet machine and of course you can fit more washing into it.

+ Looks great. Washes really well. Drum size is great for family washes or bed linen. Bought for holiday cottage bed linen and has proved to be invaluable. Visitors love it too !

- Can not set machine to wash and then automatically dry - or atleast I don't think you can ........

Paul, Yorkshire

+ Large drum, quiet on fast spin, easy to operate, aaa efficiency and good looks, quick wash is excellent.
This is my second hotpoint , the first lasted 14 years with no repairs, if this lasts the same i will be happy
the machine hardly uses any water and the clothes come out practically dry, will only use dryer in winter

- no half load settings although you can mess with the settings on other cycles to get one you want on half load.some people say drying times too long but you can cancel or reduce time as much as you want

+ Better than storing a washer machine and a dryer. Reliable so far, no problems with noise, good price, looks good.

- I think the cycles are quite long, specially drying. Creases a lot the clothes, you can regulate the temperature and spin in washing but not drying (and heats so much that the clothes would smell burnt if you use the cupboard drying cycle). Better to use the ironing cycle and leave the clothes a little bit damp but not so badly creased.

+ I am really pleased with this machine. The large load capacity has enabled me to cut down my washing from an average of 6 loads a week to just two. We are a family of five so have a fair bit of laundry. The machine is really quiet which means I can put it on in the evening when the kids have gone to bed and the load will be clean and dry by morning. Looks nice and is very easy to use. There are loads of different programmes to fit just about any item of clothing that needs washing. I haven't used them all yet!

- The cotton cupboard dry cycle leaves clothes quite creased. Cannot think of any other bad points.

- the dry cycle is very long, and you need to experiment so you don't end up with crinkly shirts. Once you get it right it's cool.

+ Big drum.
Highly (and easily) configurable with save function to save programmed washes for future use.
Much quieter than the old machine.

- Dryer not amazing, but then it is a combi, if i had the space, i'd by the washer version of this and a seperate dryer.
It's not the greatest looking machine, but it's growing on me.
Delivery, we were waiting for well over a month. I wonder if this will get posted on your website???
