First Wash Back Home
When we got back to Crewe from Cardiff we couldnt wait to get it going with a mountain of washing accrued over our weeks holiday.,
First wash was the whites.
No.1 White Cottons @ 70deg.
Being a Low Energy Machine it washes approx 10 degrees lower than the cycle number indicates unless you press superwash which sees that it washes at the full temperature for each cycle.
So ~I selected number 1 and pressed superwash to get a high temp 85deg wash for whites.
being white cottons I selected full spin speed of 1000rpm.
Here it is not far into the wash.

Heated up and about to start the longer periods of fast tumbleing.
These machines gave much regular, longer and faster tumbles than the Hoover contempories - IMHO its quite evident this made way for a better clean and it certainly shows compared to results from the Hoover Electron.

The rinsing performance of this machine is also IMHO better than the Hoovers of the era despite Hoover using way much unneccessary water.
THis is evident due to the fact that Hotpoint rinse cycles had a spin after each rinse whereas Hoover only had one inbetween the 2nd rinse and the 3rd of 4.
Here is the complete cycle. its amazing how much you could get into a 9lb load which seems so small these days with 18lb load machines on the market ean readily available.
Pic 1 nearly full

with some of the load removed there is still a fair way to go.

Such a beautiful machine! Listening to the machine going into the short spin sounded exactly like my old washer drier. I just have a question though. Does the machine tumble in between spins? My old washer drier would spin loosen a few times during every spin cycle. I would love to know if Hotpoint used the same sequence in washing machines.
