A different way of doing the laundry.
4/5
I'm still learning my way around this, my first ever washer/dryer. Instructions are quite poor on cheap 'save the planet' paper!
Have done around eight washes so far. Washes well, but some washes have been damp at the end of the drying cycle. Not so when using the combined wash & dry cycles rather than wash, remove some items and then dry. If damp, you have to restart the drying cycle. I think it's basically a learning process of how to do your regular laundry washing in a different way, rather than having separate machines.
This machine runs rather long wash and drying times, however on checking my smart meter, the costs are not as high per hour as I was expecting. Therefore washing/drying times can look 'frightening' in these high energy costs times, but you may be pleasantly surprised.
When drying, there will be an initial 'clicking' sound. At first I thought this was a fault, however on checking the internet I found this is a known subject for Hotpoint washer/dryers, a shame the manufacturers don't point this out in the instructions.
I've given 4 stars due to the lack of info from Hotpoint. Apart from this, I'm pleased with my choice.
