Hi all
the new ultimas are here, they're kkg and 1400&1600 spin white and graphite!
The lcd display is quite similar to the AQGD169s.

How many kg?
May I also ask what the cabinet dimensions are?

TYVM.

I like this design, it's not that bad, can we compare to your machine?

Anyway isn't that machine 7KG and standard size? (85x60x60cm)

Hotpoint - Our Ideas - Your Home!!!

Me thinks beauty is in the eye of the beholder...I quite like the new look & design, not sure about the model number though (WMD)...that phrase has been well used!!!

Unless the spec size is wrong on the comet website the sizes compared to the WT960 seems odd:

WT960 H x W x D 85 = 59.5 x 58 = 7kg Load
WMD960 H x W x D 85 = 59.5 x 56.5 = 8kg Load

If this has internal components like the Aqualtis, then I say great, most of the Ultimas I`ve sold / know of need the engineer in the spare bedroom just to keep tightening the drum & support system....that door looks very solid..

Nice!!!!!!!!!

I think there nice, sleek and stylish, to bad there in the HOTPOINT name Would prefare if they were ARISTON.

They'll be Hotpoint-Ariston fairly soon.
It's already happened elsewhere.

It's been confirmed to me that the hotpoint-ariston name was merged to get people familiar with the hotpoint name before they drop the ariston name, so people will "go" for the hotpoint stuff!

From a hotpoint rep themself!

Just read through a marketing review and it does seem Indesit's idea is to phase out Ariston. It's kind of a strange strategy though given that Ariston is FAR more widely recognised than Hotpoint.

You'd kinda wonder what the logic is!

Hmm. The new machines are quite nice. However, my current 960 is due to be moved on i feel. Though overall its been a good machine. Little things are beginning to niggle at me now i've had it for 6months. its bugging me how cheap the suspension is and the machine can take a ridiculous amount of time to balance, my boss is going to do me a really good deal on an insight if i decide to go for it. Which i might.

Hotpoint-Ariston - rather like what happened to Philips-Whirlpool in the 1980s (just swap the name order around!).

In the words of Edina from Absolutely Fabulous: "It's looks fabulous, darling!"

According to our Hotpoint Rep...

Most of the new range will still be assembled in Kimnell Park so it would appear the rumours are wrong- for now !

Aquarius+ WFM740P

We took delivery of the new hotpoint wfm740 7kg 1400 in white.

I like the look of the machine, its looks much better than the pictures i saw on the net!

Still has a hotpoint drum!

Baby program! This adds in the words of the manual "Considerably more water than normal" For baby soiling and skin care.

ECO progs- This is the frightening bit, cotton synthetic and fast wash programmes at........BELOW 30 DEGREES! Yikes. developed with ariel i hope they made a cold water detergent, theres gonna be problems with smells and slime in these i think!

The plus point of these programmes is their is a 50% energy saving!

I'm off to hotpoint HQ for a training session on 18th april! Lookin forward to it!
