We purchased this machine in february this year. Somewhat more competitive than a lot if other washing machines and it's a hotpoint.
Once it was installed and we had our first wash I was surprised genuinely firstly at how quiet it is - our last Lg washing machine - I thought that was quite but this is quieter. A plus especially when your sat in the lounge and kitchen is next door. Can watch my tv in peace. Haha.
All the options for whites, and dark clothes with guide for settings on front of machine. The spin feature is great as it has varied settings and clothes after spin don't need much drying.

Overall a brilliant machine - no problems so far. Quiet, great cleaning , spin feature is brill and looks good too in the kitchen .
Forgot to mention we are having the machine integrated into our kitchen unit cabinet and it is the machine you can do that with. Unlike others that need that side breathing space and hoses on sides on some models. This one is perfect for that purpose.
