Love the detergent dispenser

Back panel. I noticed the thin outlet pipe compared to machines I've seen in the 90s or the Zanussi Jetsystem. Those brackets in the hotpoint are sooo difficult to remove as need small spanner.

Nifec motor

Under the machine motor etc

Hi All, I posted a while back that I was considering getting an 8 kg Hotpoint Smart washing machine for Currys. Anyway it took ages for the flat to get completed. I came across a Hotpoint 9kg Smart washer and I've had it for 2 days now. It cost £269. I did 3 loads today and decided to do a...

Hi DJ, That machine certainly looks nice. I kind of feel at home with Electrolux made machines due as have had experience with them since 2002. I guess the Flexi Dose model we got was a bad one. I think the programming has been changed now so the current models are not so sensitive on spin...

Hi djs32, Sorry to hear of our poor experience with this machine. I've been pretty lucky with my little experience with Indesit made machines. However, I have always had machines made by Electrolux. A 2002 AEG OKO Lavamat 72640 - It was a great machine but the only niggle is the drum used to...

Hi Dan, It looks great. Thank you for your post and picture. Lovely machine. I'm pretty excited ;))

Thanks glenfieldmathk1, Your response was extreamly helpful and informative. You have helped me to decide that this is the washing machine I am going to purchase. I will be getting the 8kg with inverter, 1400RPM. If I could get a 7kg inverter with 1400rpm I would get that instead, but cannot...

That detergent dispenser ...

Hi all, It's getting closer to the point of me moving into a new property and I was considering a Hoover machine because of the water jet, but I've decided not to get it now. I preferred the Hotpoint feel and quality compared to the Hoover. I notice the machine I'm interested in, says SMART...

Hi Aquacycle, How did the machine behave when it rinsed? As in terms of does it tumble when filling up for rinses? Did it ever refill on the rinse cycle to top up if water went a bit low? I have the WMB5100W model in the flat share I am in at the moment and it doesn't seem to use much water...

Hi Dex, During perfect 20 does the machine distribute the load when washing? I will mostly use 40 degrees and 60 degrees cottons. Can't say I'm a fan of the slim body machines. Just a preference, I don't like the way that look. But when the machine is tucked under the worktop, one wouldn't...

Hi Haxisfan, It perhaps works in the similar way to this machine. I am so intrigued by this machine. I went to check it again and I feel that the size of it will be fine for myself on my own. I also like the KG mode too. It all all the features of adding extra rinse function too. I would...

Hi Newbravo, That looks very interesting. Thank you for posting and I like how quiet the machine is. With reference to the machine I saw in my local electrical store. The Hoover machine there has just one slit on the left hand side (a bit like the older Candy Activa jet system) and I was...

I think I was just intruiged by the Hoover because it has a jet inside if it. It only appears to have one though and not the pulse 8 so not sure how this machine would work. Even though it's claimed to have 7kg, the drum is tiny (looks a tiny bit smaller than the 5kg Beko in the kitchen here)...

I recently wrote a post about plumbing in a new property that I'm buying. I thought there wasn't any plumbing, luckily there is. Anyway, I was going to buy a Hotpoint washing machine but the price has since increased. A friend of mine is buying me a washing machine, so I can't take the p**s with...

Hi Glenfieldmathk1, I noticed when I went into John Lewis Oxford Street after work the other day and Currys Wembley, there was no click when I shut the drawer and there was a bit sticking out at the bottom. I really must take a pic next time I go to a shop.

It's definately a brushless motor. Let's not have a debate about it. Sorry to hear your friend was unlucky with his machine. But on a positive note, my friend has 7 year old Indesit that still works fine today. It's a little noisy and shakes a fair bit like Indesits do, but she's not needed a...

The Hotpoint link I out above has a wash sound of 54 dB (A) so it's quieter than their non silent ones which are normally 58 dB (A) to 60 dB (A) so I think it is one of their silent ones. I don't mind it sticking out slightly. As it's boiler pipes behind,it needs to be away from those.
