Hotpoint WML560P Washing Machine

Looked at loads of machines before deciding on this one, and haven't been disappointed. We have an open plan living room/kitchen so I was interested in Hotpoint's super silent range, but they only offer that feature on bigger models, and I needed a fairly compact model to fit.

Finally decided on this model based on size and budget, and am really pleased. It's powerful, cleans well, with a good range of programmes (eco mode is fine for most washes). Also spins really well, so stuff comes out pretty dry even on 800/1000 (well, compared to our rubbish no-name machine we were replacing!). It's also really quiet and doesn't jump about like our old one used to, so good for open plan rooms.

If I had to find fault I'd say the dials feel a teensy bit cheap, but no big deal. I would've liked an electronic display as well but I suppose you get what you pay for there.
