"This is easily the quietest washing machine I have ever seen let alone owned. The only noise you can hear (apart from when spinning) is the clothes splashing in the water. Even when drying it's virtually silent.
Wash cycles are customisable so you can easily adjust the spin speed and temperature to suit your needs. Even has a 20°C setting which is great for delicates.
It's even completely cleaned a stained tshirt I had that I thought was a write off.

I have always found washing machines to be shrouded in some level of mystery – what does that button do ?… what does this symbol mean??!!! …. so I have spent some time going over the instructions supplied and am pleased to say that in the end it did all make sense and every possible wash and dry option you could want is catered for.
It's a good looking machine as machines go and has a good size drum – 9kg for washing and 6kg for drying.
Installation – we installed the appliance ourselves and it wasn't too taxing. Unfortunately the cable to plug it in is quite short and the waste pipe also could do with being longer. Some people may find they need an extension cable to reach the socket or find they need a longer waste pipe which would be annoying. Also the installation sheet was a photocopy or poor quality print so the images on it of fitting the waste pipe etc were not clear.
The display of options could be slightly simpler – you would likely need to read the instructions before use. But they have done a good job of not having a million buttons even with many different options available.
I would have liked a simple 'Daily' option that didn't take too long and would work for a mix of cotton and synthetic. It is good that you can alter most of the programs to suit and the My Cycle button is particularly useful if you have settings you want to use a lot that are not already in one of the programs listed.
Other settings I like are the Timer Saver function which will shorten the selected wash cycle by 50% saving water and energy. You can use this if you have only a small load or your things are only lightly soiled.
I also like the anti-allergy rinse options of adding an extra rinse for getting rid of all traces of detergent, two for sensitive skin or three rinses for making sure you are rid of all pollen, mites and cat and dog hair. I haven't tried this yet but will be thrilled if I can finally have clothes without cat hair threaded in them!
The machine has clearly been designed with the environment in mind and offers various eco options. I'm not quite sure of the difference for these so that could perhaps have been simpler. It says in the instructions that the 'eco wash function' saves energy by not heating the water but instead intensifying the wash action to match the results in the same time, you can also use it when drying for an energy saving option there. There is also a wash cycle for Eco Cotton which says it washes up to 60 degrees so I'm not sure in what way it is energy saving. That could perhaps have been better explained.
I would also like to know how the dryer works as it is not like any other dryer I have seen. For instance there is no fluff filter or condenser. Where does the fluff go??
In terms of noise it isn't whisper quiet but is certainly not the noisiest of machines.
All in all I'm very happy with my washer dryer, my clothes have been noticeably cleaner and fresher than my old machine and of course having a washer dryer is a great way to save space while still not needing to have damp clothes hanging around in your living space. I would recommend this product to family and friends.

"I never much cared for home appliances until i had a family of my own, Finding a reliable washer dryer that can withstand the busy family life can be a challenge, This Hotpoint washer dryer does not disappoint!
With its sleek and modern look and colour that fits with any decor -this baby is not just a pretty face. Inside it can hold 9kg of washing and 6 kg load for dying - which for me as a dad its a great thing - no more overflowing laundry baskets! with a powerful 1400 spin speed clothes come out perfect , also having a washer dryer not only is ideal space saver but a great convenience - blankets and towels come out fluffy and ready to use , Also a delicate wash program Woolmark Platinum care - prolongs a life of your favorite jumpers and cardigans , It is also energy efficient which for me is also a great selling point - saving me and my family money in the long run ,
There is a range of pre set programs that are very handy so even if you are not very familiar with the use of a washing machine (like i was) at the press of a button it will take care of it for you , I also suffer from skin allergies -so having this handy feature in the programs helps cut the time of running washing machine twice ,
If there is a specific combination of presets you use you can pre program it into a designated M button so you can access it with ease
besides the delay button which is also very handy feature that delays the start of the washing until you are ready , there is also auto clean mode and most importantly child lock
Dryer have a few handy features that also carter to your needs - you can select how you want your clothes to be dry from ready to put away to iron dry , you can also reduce the time of drying from 180 minuteness to a speedy 30 minutes - so your clothes can be dry in a flash
The LCD display is clear , displaying information that are easy to understand -so all in all you can have your Washer dryer up and running in no time
If you are considering buying your new Washer Dryer i highly recommend this one you wont be disappointed
