Large absorbent Load Rinse levels

Did a large 9kg load at 40 degrees on cotton cycle. I noticed the machine had filled up quite high on the rinses. It must have sensed this from the beginning as it doesn't always take this much water for rinses and it also didn't reduce the wash time today like it does when the load is half or less absorbent. Reminded me of mums Servis from the 80s that used to do that. I do like a high rinse level!

It seemed to do a good job at getting the powder out too.

A relative of mine got the washer dryer version of this family of machines. It's working surprisingly well. The dry cycles are excellent.
 
Iej,

I never would have considered a Hotpoint before or Indesit but this machine has changed my mind. I like the features it has. When washing it's near enough silent (can only hear sloshing of water and clothes) and on spins it's not too loud when on full 1400rpm.

I discovered the other day by accident that the machine switches the pump on and off when on spin (a bit like an LG). I spun an already spun item in the machine and the pump didn't come on once for the entire spin. It only came on briefly at the end and then the Instant Door release made its 'Clunk Clunk' sound it beeped to say it's finished. I can open it immediately which I love.

The Drain only option if selected will only activate the pump if any water is present on the drum or any wet clothes are dripping in the drum otherwise the machine will not activate the pump on the drain only programme and will fast forward to ending the selected drain only programme. I did a test by setting 'Drain Only' and the machine did nothing when it was empty, I then tipped some water in the detergent drawer and the pump came on. So that's when I realise the sensor must know when to switch the pump on and this occurs during spin phrases too. Saves having to listen to a pump noise I guess.

I also like the distribution tumbles on Cottons 60 and 20 degree programmes.
