"Fits the bill perfectly. Highly recommend this product. So quiet you can not hear it at all! For anyone who has witnessed runner smell, this goes after first wash/dry and I would recommend on the dry cycle using a fumble dry sheet to avoid this.
Only downside is clothes on the wash and dry combined cycles come out very creased!! Only way I have found to try and avoid this in some way, is to wash and take clothes out, shaking out creases and then drying in seperate cycle, which isn't ideal. "

"Reasonably quiet compared to my 7 year old Hotpoint cheap and cheerful washing machine. Trying takes a while and would suggest using the lowest setting. Slight smell which went away after third wash but clothes are clean and not too rumpled. "

"I'm sorry, I hate this washing machine and I'm going to get rid. I purchased it for our tenants. When I came round a couple of months later I noticed they had unplumbed it, placed it in the garage and bought their own washer-dryer instead. I've now used it a few times myself and can see why! The cycles are INCREDIBLY long - more than three hours?? For a basic 40 degree wash cycle? I had to keep forcing the cycle on to its rinse stage as I was so bored waiting for it to finish. There's a "quick" cycle option - which is just 30 mins and doesn't clean anything. And there's no indicator to tell you how much longer the cycle has to go, which is annoying. Also, there is no "delayed start" option, which I also found annoying. Finally, its noisy. It really is. I think for the money you can get something a bit more sophisticated and better designed than this. My Zanussi washer-dryer is 15 years old and far superior to this one. And it still works fine. When it dies, I won't be buying Hotpoint."

"Overall, it's a nice, roomy machine. Washes well but they are long, long cycles of up to 180 minutes! You can shorten it but it's still not snappy. I've tumbled a few times and the smell of burning rubber is strong and the clothes lose their 'just washed' smell which never happened with my 'dead' zanussi. Would have my old machine back in a heartbeat but guess this is an ok replacement"

"Great price and looks good. Not the quietest machine but i rarely sit in the kitchen when it's in use so not really a big deal. Has a lot of settings (i recommend reading the manual) and so far the dryer seems to do a decent job."
