Hi. It doesn't have it at the top on my model it's under the outer drum at the bottom and it basically turns the powder into a foam.

As far as I know none of the Hotpoints have a recirculating jet. The "Direct injection" feature advertised is purely they way Paul describes, similar to Samsung's Eco bubble function.

I'm glad you are enjoying your new machine Paul. A bit disappointing to see it doesn't have the wave paddles like the Aqualtis but it's still a good looking machine. I did consider a hotpoint briefly when I was looking for a new washer but went for a Zanussi Lindo instead.

The only Hotpoint washing machines with the 'eco rain' feature are the 10kg models with the black door. Models being the RPD10667DD and RPD10477DD.
The other ultima s line models just have direct injection which is basically a foam generator as said above.

From an environmental point of view, as you wash rather frequently, maybe consider something that will last longer ?
This household had had 2 Mieles since 1985 and that's it. They've been used *heavily* too and normally stuffed to capacity.
They definitely last at least 15 years. The machine we "got rid of" now lives in the garage and still works. I was doing a laundry room refresh and decided to go with the W1 & T1
They're more expensive initial outlay but, unless you're changing them out of boredom, they're much cheaper over their lifetimes.
If you consider that I spent maybe €1500 on a washer that's going to last me at least 15 years, that's at most only €100 a year. If I spend €500 on something that lasts 2 years that's €250/year.
They're also just wonderful machines with every option you could possibly think of and produce excellent results.
I'm big Eco geek tho and into lifetime costs and minimising environmental impacts though! I don't like this disposable major appliance culture we have these days. I make a big effort to minimise my impact though, including cycling when I can and I've a plug-in hybrid car.
I'm also making the house as efficient as possibly bit by bit. Major insulation projects done, solar in to at least partially deal with not water load (you can still need gas here in Ireland due to cloud cover and short days in winter), heat recovery ventilation (installed most of it myself which was a fun project.)
My De Deitrich induction job is going since 1997 and still looks and behaves like new. Oven by the same manufacturer is over 10, looks new and runs every day to make something. I bake a lot..
I'll be doing a kitchen refresh soon but I'm loathed to dump perfectly functioning, well maintained, still good looking stainless steel appliances for the sake of it.
Likewise my upstairs and downstairs vacuums are years and years old. A pair of Mieles from the mid 90s and they still work perfectly. Robust, well designed powerful and simple machines.
My aim really is to ensure that by the time I'm in my 60s (long way off) that my house will be very cozy and will have minimal energy overheads. I'm self employed, so it's always just been something I consider a way of ensuring I'm not being crippled with high energy bills in my retirement.

Hi there. I do try and do my bit for the environment but I also do like to change my appliances and keep up with the trend. Usually when I buy a new machine my old one has always gone to a much needed home where it has been needed. My old appliances never end up in a tip. In my home I use low energy lighting I drive a brand new fuel efficient diesel car. If I would have been driving a 15 year old car I can't see it being as efficient as my new one so I do try and be as friendly to the planet as one possibly could be

What a lovely looking machine. Well done on getting one of these.
I do like the more expensive models on the Hotpoint line. I have the 9kg Smart model and I am more than happy with its performance, its lovely and quiet on the wash - almost virtually silent and isn't too bad on spinning. I'm glad to hear that your machine is not sensitive on the spins like mine is.
I do love the Eco Rain feature and I miss this on the AEG/Zanussi's I have had over the years. The AEG we used to have used to spin 3 times full of water when on the Cottons Rinse to drive water through the clothes with the Jet on. It was dependent on how absorbent the load was, if it wasn't absorbent, the machine would not perform the 3 spins on the rinse. Was a cool feature.
I wish you many happy years use with your machine and thank you for posting the photos. I'd love to see Youtube vids of your machine in action.

Hi. Thank you for your kind comments. I intend on posting some videos in the next few days. I'm really happy so far with it. It's done 23 loads in ten days. I know it's a lot for a single person but because it's a much bigger drum I can wash much bigger things lol. It's on now and all I can hear is the water in the machine it's that quiet.
