So far we've had 2 of these and both are leaking, this looks to have a design fault somewhere sadly.

We ordered this to replace our older Hotpoint washer dryer but unfortunately we didn’t like this machine so much that we sent it back after 2 weeks. The valve mechanism design has been changed since the older models which means that every 15 seconds on the dry cycle there would be a ‘chug’ from the machine followed by a ‘bang’ through the pipes upstairs which resulted in disturbing the children at night. It had a good fast wash time but the rest of the cycles, both wash and dry, were very long. We do not recommend this washer dryer.

It’s a nice looking washer dryer. Washes well . The dryer isn’t that good . Always damp. Unless it’s me

Not really tested everything on this yet which is why only 3 stars and that's generous I think - due to these other comments. Spins clothes well, so not so soggy when you take them out. Don't want to use combined wash & dry options either - too expensive to do that - so at least I figured out how to do a wash only. But, there arent too many good options just for washing - there is no 60 minute wash, as far as I can see - only a very quick one (15 minutes I think?) which I cant see working very well to get things clean. Also cant raise the temp from 40 to 60 .The standard programmes seem to take a long time as well -about 1.5 hours on a wool wash and ages for just a rinse and spin. Can't really tell if clothes are any cleaner than my 14 year old indesit got 'em - but I haven't done any whites yet. Also - I used a lot of conditioner (to the maximum fill level) but clothes did not come out smelling particularly as if I'd used any, whereas on my old machine they did! The dryer only option I haven't dared try yet - I use it for towels only - as it is so complicated to fathom out -guess I'll have to call Hotpoint to talk me through it when I do decide to use it So far- I can't say I'm particularly happy this purchase really, I just hope it improves.

From the First twin tub when I was youngster till now when I am in my 60’s, my family had always had Hotpoint washing machines, and latterly washer/dryers for me,so it is with a heavy heat that I have to say I am truly disappointed. The length of time for a wash is more than twice that of previous machines - with one wash & dry programme taking a ridiculous NINE hours. The Dryer is disturbingly loud, making the pipes in the house knock and bang - my neighbours are not amused - and the dry only feature sometimes leaves the items hot and steamy. Called Hotpoint and apparently the noise is ‘normal’ for newer energy efficient machines (remember the 9 hour wash/dry programme?) and I was asked why I used the dry only feature - had to use it when the clothes came out hot and steamy after being on a wash and dry cycle!! If asked I wished to return this machine I’m afraid I would.

Looks good. Doesn’t have the programs of 5he last one. Takes longer.

Washing machine works okay but I've found the instructions confusing. To use the dry only function you have to set the machine to wash and then tell it not to wash. Pretty noisy too. Lots of programmes won't do a 9kg load.

Bought to replace my old washer dryer that I had for 7 years. This is much better quality, sleeker and quieter! One of the main selling points for me was the quick 30 minute wash program. I don’t always have time to wait 3 hours for a wash for a wash to be done! I haven’t used the dryer yet, so can’t comment on that function.
