One of the main features I bought it for was the time delay option which is fantastic.... Also the cycle times are great with the added feature of being able to see exactly how long the cycle has left to go.

The noise when the machine is spinning.... It is very loud

1. Its a Hotpoint! My last 2 Hotpoint machines have lasted 10 and 14 years with minimal repairs. 2. Very little moisture left in clothing at the end of a standard wash. 3. Quiet. Its in my dining kitchen so this is noticeable.

The wash cycles take longer than I expected but results are good.

I love the choice of two fast cycle washes at different temperatures and also that you can stop and drain the machine if required. I like the digital screen and that it shows you the time of wash and time remaining.

It's a bit noisy as most washing machines seem to be.

Various programmes and the machine tells you how long the cycle has to go which interested me in the machine.

On my previous machine you could do a short and fast spin which i really miss. The 30 degree quick wash does not really clean my clothes very well compared to my last machine which was also a hotpoint, many items have to be rewashed before hanging on the washing line. Seems this is a poorer machine than my old one.

Good machine that has the functions of most every other machine but with the ability of being able to reduce temperature whilst keeping to same washing programme and reducing spin speeds, shows time of cycle and remaining time (it also adjusts timings to load weight) and also has a hand wash function. The machine uses only a minimal amount of water and only takes in cold water. The machine itself is stylish and the instruction book is easy to read without too much waffle.

Although drum size is reasonable it will not accommodate a single duvet. Machine is quite noisy but in my experience all washing machines are noisy.
