Owned this model for 3 years 2 months, whilst in last spin 1600, one of
the bolts holding the weight block on top sheered off and we heard a loud
clunk in the machine and the spin noise was really loud considering it was
meant to be a super silent model.
I hit the stop, lucky was their as was informed had I not and the spin
allowed to continue the remaining bolts could have sheered off to under
stress and the block free to be launched around all the electric wire and
water in/outlets, with dire consequences, unless it managed to trip the
fuse before a fire broke out, bolts should not go, have hear of another
machine make where the bolts had to be tightened and checked every 20
cycles and their machine was meant to be a more expensive (ie thought of
as a better made model), other than this the washing machine when
workings was really good, just a shame this half a bolt left behind in the
machine, due to the fact the plastic housing for it is moulded to the
front drum section, so cause it means replacing this whole front bit and 3
bolts (as other 2 will be weakened), has rendered it too costly to repair,
so a machine that would have lasted the average family of 4 about 9 months
to get the same number of washes we managed to get from it and they would
have gotten a new one no questions, but the 2 of us it lasted just over 3
years, so we got to buy a new one, although have been offered something
off a new one cause according to trading standards a standard washing
machine should last an average family at least 6 years, excluding wear and
tear items like brushes, the bolt isn`t a wear and tear item. maybe we
just got unlucky with one with a bolt with a flaw in it, which could have
gone on its first wash or its 3000th, but we worked out we got a wash for
a £1 with it going so soon (excluding costs of electric, water and soap
powder/liquid). but the machine did wash clothes well and having a stored
program, saved having to set the normally used program every time and
speed etc each time, so was easy for the hubby to learn to use it, no
excuses !
so giving it a 3, 3 cause although when working it would have gotten a
4-5, but since it didn`t last due to what went on it, I can`t give it any
more than a 3 and being generous with that.

us)The rubber door seal and two seal retainers which are very flimsy came
off in the wash causing a flood and breaking all three items.Hotpoint

wasnt covered under guarantee this shouldnt happen to a new machine will
never buy a hotpoint again and they are made 2 miles away from
me.
Reviewed by: darryl Rating:1 out of 5 Date Reviewed:01Apr2008 | | | I have owned this washing machine for just under a year so it has had a
good road test! I would say in our household of four adults it gets above
average useage. It has to cope with a daily wash of horse riding gear and
chef`s whites together with hockey kit, plus the usual round of towels and
general clothing. I really can`t sing this washing machines praises highly
enough; it has a capacious drum swallowing up a full set of king size
bedding easily, it is quiet and reliable. It has a handy time delay so it
comes on at night thus saving on my electricity bill. I have switched to
washing nearly everything at 30 degrees and my washing comes out spotless.
The chef`s whites I wash at
60 degrees and they are sparkling. I would thoroughly recommend this
machine to anyone, I have always been a Hotpoint fan, but this machine
deserves the winners medal!
