Greta machine.

Seems good so far. Washing and drying as well as last AEG machine and quieter. Less flexible on dry time options unless I’m missing some instructions. Has a rapid wash but if you want more than 30mins, you have to jump up to over 2.5 hours.

Very efficient machine considering it's a washer dryer. Wash cycles work well, they are long but thorough. Drying also works very well, leaves laundry a bit softer than a tumble dryer so using less fabric softner. Really happy with the product.

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.

Solid product, seems well made; metal hinges etc . Easy to use, nice and quiet too. The only reason I went for four stars rather than five, is that I would like the faster spin to be available on more of the programs, especially through the winter when I want it as dry as possible to either tumble dry or put on an airer. But generally nice product.

So far so good! I was a little apprehensive to go for this washer/dryer, to to some of the review 'cons' but once you get to grips with the programmes, it's a great washer/dryer for the price. Yes, some of the programmes are rather long, but you can find shorter ones, such as using the 'rapid' option. It also looks good, and so I'm pleased with my purchase.
