I posted about these on facebook forum. Generally good response, though most didn't like the new door (which although not a whirlpool door, its similar).
New Page on France Hotpoint website:

Interesting Appliance video too:

Personally I love them, I'm a happy Hotpoint owner, and these look amazing! Definately want to try them!
The Anti-stain Turbo wash, is essentially the standard 20 wash the EU Government made every machine have last year. Hotpoint/Indesit have essentially taken the initiative (unlike other manufacturers) to improve it, so it can remove stains. I'm not sure what 100 stains it removes - would be nice to see a list really. Its probably not got tomato on the list, as mine struggles to remove it on Anti-stain 40C. That said would the mousse foam help that much, it probably could.
I'm guessing it would work like Cottons Standard 20, just with more distributions, and a switch to the Anti-Stain/Whites intensive rhythm 30/2 during the cycle. I'm sure it'll take longer than 1:35 shown in the picture! Seems from the video link above - it uses 10 motions for washing?
Anti-stain Turbo (which still alllows upto 40C selection) is a Fast Wash 60', but with deep rinses, and interim spin after wash, and final spin. see video below
Direct injection failed on the Aqualtis, then original machine to launch it, most reviewers didn't even see a difference in foam. Of course Samsungs Eco Bubble doesn't really do much either. Will be interesting to see if the new Direct Injection works better. I've noticed there are 2 options for direct injection "Power" which I'm guessing would work with more intensive and more heat, and "Ecoenergy" which I guess would work like Bosch EcoPerfect save a bit of money, but use the foam generated to not affect wash time. Apparently both options work within the Standard Wash Time, so no longer washes - option can be deselected - ideal if washing small loads as lot of foam can cause less washing performance.
A good new thing is they've finally added a normal cotton wash back on the machine. On previous models selecting 60 on cottons 60, would heat to 49C and extend the wash time. Now selecting 60 on cottons 60 will give a 60C wash, and no long wash time. The Cottons Standard Eco programme however takes 5hr30 and probably washes at around 30C, At least that is now separate programme, and no need to wait that long all the time.
I also like how they've added Colour Care to the Ultima models - it will be so good to finally be able to select the Whites Wash!
The Ultimas also now have a Shirts, Bed+Bath(returned), Anti-Allergy, Duvet wash Programmes.
They still have the upto 3 extra rinses selection, steam hygiene, and T/Saver buttons. The very TOL Ultima (thats the one with the black glass door) has a Jeans wash, as theres an Eco Button. The TOL and Dialogic range also have Eco Rain - presumably a Jetsystem, or maybe a Bosch/Siemens Type door fill.
The Display is now Fully LCD (a bit like the latest Siemens IQ700 (UK) Range), seems it will show the programme (see picture), and the go to a main Menu (see picture). Apparently there's a screen saver too.
Its also got Microbial door seal (same as Whirlpool).
Dascot - the £800+ model is the Aqualtis replacement (or will eventually be) Dialogic machine, I posted about a year ago to this forum about. This is the Wifi/smart phone washer, a bit like Candy's/Miele. Ideal if your in the modern times.
Theres also 10 Motions washing, beats LG's 6!
Heres the Brochure (Thanks to youtuber Blakeaeg who's also a happy Hotpoint owner):

Heres the instruction manual for the Ultima S Line Model (RPD10657JX):

Here's a video showing the Anti-stain Turbo/Quick Rinses (and final spin, bear in mind only 400rpm is selected due to the washing being line dried), theres only an interim after the wash, but rinses look more effective than FW60:
Finally - the Ultimas have more features than the Lower lines!! Just how long have we had to wait for that!
Oh and if the Large LCD display is too much? Curry's will be selling the Smart Tech+ washer with Direct Injection, but smaller display. Manual:

In other EU markets - this new modern design is also being sold without Direct Injection - see France for instance.
Dryers are coming next year according to Hotpoint, and the rest of the line will see the updated doors too next year.[this post was last edited: 6/24/2015-08:47]
