Hotpoint WM64

I have had my Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine now for about 7 years and the only time I had an engineer to it was when the underwire came out of one of my bras and got stuck inside the washing machine! The machine was actually won in a competition run by our local paper so I had no idea what I was getting. I took out the extra warranty but, as I say, only used it once. I continued with Hotpoint's annual insurance until this year when it became very expensive so I decided to take my chances and put that money towards a new washing machine should the need arise. The machine itself has a good variety of different wash programmes to suit all needs. It has two ...  Read the complete review

Just over 1 year ago I bought a hotpoint aquarius washing machine. We needed a new machine as the one we had was beginning to break down due to the regular use. We have three babies in the house and naturally the washing machine was in regular use. We got this new aquarius machine and after a couple of months problems started appearing which necesitated calling for the repair man. During the year we had the repair man out now fewer than six times. At the end of the year we were told that the washing machine was 'burnt out' and hotpoint gave us a full refund and told us not to buy another one because of the amount of use it was getting they would ...  Read the complete review

I'm not an angry person, really I'm not, but the service centre for Hotpoint gets right up my nose. I thank my lucky stars that I bought this machine from a branch of the John Lewis partnership, because the extended warranty (five years) which cost less than £90 (compare this with Comet or Currys!) has saved me buckets of cash since the engineer has been out FOUR times this year. I have had a new door (needed two visits, even thought I told them the door was cracked he forgot to bring a door - duh), new locking mechanism and new motor. The booklet with the machine talks about fast, flexible same day or next day appointments, but these are never on offer ...  Read the complete review

I bought this machine just over a month ago from Comet. It has 4 Wash option selections - Economy Wash, Super Rinse, Time Saver, and Rinse Hold, and 10 Wash programmes. In addition there are useful features such as a door lock indicator,and Variable spin speed control - from 400 to 1200 or no spin. Apart from an initial accident where colours ran (due to me setting the wash temperature dial incorrectly to the White Cotton 95 degree wash) it has performed well. The dispenser draw has a changeable indicator that you have to change depending on if you use Powder or Liquid. There is one conflicting thing in that it says in the instruction manual not to dispense tablets ...  Read the complete review

I have just purchased a Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine, and I am really happy with the performance of it. My old machine used to be quite noisy but this one is so quiet you would hardly know it was on. It has a special cycle for hand washing clothes, which means you don’t ever have to wash by hand again. If you just want to wash one single item, then this is the one to have as it is quicker and uses less water than other machines. This one is so easy to use even the kids can use it. ...  Read the complete review
