Drying programmes don't work properly One cycle takes 10 hours! Need to get engineer out again. Didn't dry at all to begin with.

Doesn’t dry properly & it takes Lon ours. It was also faolty and I returned

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.

The product looks nice, but the cycles are far too long…8 hours to wash and dry one lot of bedding!!!

Nice looking machine and does work well, however, it is overly complicated to use, with very long wash programmes and limited drying times. Instruction booklet needs to be simplified and offer better alternative programmes without having a 7 hour wash/dry cycle for cottons. No one has that time to spend on 1 cycle !

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.
