The New Hotpoint's Are Here!

[platinum6]

Hi all, I've been on the Comet website and what do I see that's of my delight? Why it's the new range of Hotpoint washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers which look absolutely superb!

Lets begin with the entry-level model, the Aquarius WML520P.

Nice isn't it?

 

[platinum6]

And then there's the WML540G in graphite.

 

[platinum6]

Mid-range with the Aquarius+ WMF740P which has a slightly different control panel design and a few more features.

 

[platinum6]

The WMF760G in graphite.

 

[platinum6]

And finally, The Top-Of-The Range Ultima with all the features and a LED Text-Display. This is the WMD940G.

 

[platinum6]

And here's the WMD960P.

 

[platinum6]

And now the tumble dryers. Firstly, The Aquarius TVM560P.

 

[platinum6]

The Aquarius+ TVM760P.

 

[platinum6]

This is the Aquarius TCM570G.

 

[platinum6]

The Aquarius TCL770G. There's also the Ultima TCD970P but there's no pic of it yet. Expect it to have the control panel syle of the Ultima washing machine. The Aqualtis tumble dryers will arrive soon.

Dishwashers now with the Aquarius FDM550P.

 

[platinum6]

The Aquarius FDL570G.

 

[platinum6]

The Aquarius+ FDF780P.

 

[platinum6]

And finally, the Ultima FDD912P. That's your lot for now, enjoy this gallery of new Hotpoints and tell me what you think of them.

Hmm

They dont do much for me sadly

Notice that although (according to our rep) 90% of Hotpoint laundry is stil UK assembled none of the new range actually has made in Great Britain on the facia .

A sign of things to come me thinks....

Seamus

P.S The washing machines use the Ariston side opening detergent drawer

Indeed, it'll be a sad day when Kinmel Park closes its doors. Give me a 95 series over one of these Indesit designs any day.

Hello all,
If you want to see the features of these machines just go on the HOTPOINT website click on laundry and on the side will be view brochure, however the products are not on the site but the brochure is out!

Hope it helps anyone!

They did that last time the range changed! You cud view new range on brochure not web,

I saw them in person at Morley way last week, they look better in person!

Seamus,

Me Too!

far to busy and none to easy on the eye,

Sad as it may be about Kinmel shutting whenever it does it will be a good thing for the UK not to be producing this rubbish anymore - just a shame for the poor workers there who will lose their jobs. Its such an embarressment seeing the Hotpoint name on Indesits I hope they do change their minds and switch to the Ariston name.

I think its a bloody darn cheek that Indeshit promote in the brochure about Hotpoint being a Trusted Brand and cashing in on it when they had nothing to do with Hotpoint building this reputation.

Perhaps they need to look at their reputation from 1990 - present day and judge themselves from that letting Readers Digest know along the way.

hello newwave1
you saw the new hotpoint's, how did they look, did u also see the new black washing machines?
Thanks

 

[aeg03]

I don't like these new machines. These are not Hotpoints at all. Just like Hoovers are not really Hoovers they are Candy machines.

 

[platinum6]

I'm glad you're all enjoying the Hotpoint gallery, there seems to be mixed views on the design of them but in my view, they look great.

I hope Hotpoint doesn't stop production at Kinmel Park any time soon. I can't imagine the brand not being made there, think of all the jobs that would be lost. I just hope it stays open for the long-term future.

My dream models I'd have from the range would be the Ultima WMD940K and TCD970K in black because they look quite nice. Still no sign of the Aqualtis tumble dryer though.

 

[rolls_rapide]

Ah, they've been beaten with the Ugly Stick!

I'm not to impressed with their design either.

Also, I'm rather concerned about tiny print labelling the controls. When my Mum was looking for a new machine a couple of years ago, she chose the Bosch, because the Hotpoint Aqualtis had small print on the fascia.

She can read the Bosch without her glasses.

 

[dascot]

They're not attractive machines, and have been designed to look better in 'fashionable' graphite type colours. Also a bit design for design's sake kind of thing.

That one dryer with the knob not in the centre looks really weird as well.

 

[newwave1]

Hey guys,
When i went to hotpoint, alot of the stuff was prototypes and just makin its way through, there was no black washers on display, they had a black fridge out though, they stuck an aqualtis on spin for us. the indesits with digital display are now 7kg, though the drumsize looks no different.

I like the look of some of the range, i prefer the new door design, i'm sick of my hotpoint though, im really bored of it not being able to spin because of poor suspension.

I'd much prefer something made by electrolux.

[dascot]

Also, the dishwashers look like Hoovers last lot - rejects?

 

[Bearpeter]

2 rinses?

Do these machines do the "Indesit" 2 rinses? Hope not cos if so..... count me out! I always have to do the normal wash programme for cottons then reset Rapid non colourfast wash to ensure good rinse results.

 

[seamusuk]

Suspension

Hey Darren
According to our rep the suspension issue has been addressed in the new models - guess time will tell on that one . I was talking to Mike a couple of days ago about the huge price increases on the new range . Maybe its a sign of things to come with all appliances ??

[newwave1]

To be fair we got the wmf740 in and its bloody heavy. i do hope they've addressed the suspension because it really made me go off it.

also the only machine with an extra rinse is the basic aquarius models so every programme has 2 rinses i'd imagine.
