Hotpoint AQXXF149 -

My previous Hotpoint lasted 23 years; therefore I had no qualms about purchasing another one. This model seems well made and has a sturdy feel about it. It is very easy to use and quite quiet in operation. The washing cycles take much longer than my old machine (due to the cold fill) but I had already been warned that this would be the case. I like the 1400 spin speed (although not available on all programmes) and I also find the ½ load and the quick wash options very useful. So far I am very happy with my purchase.
