Hotpoint Aquarius WDL520P Washer Dryer Freestanding Polar White

Two machines in one. This Hotpoint Aquarius washer dryer saves space by washing and drying in one appliance. The 7kg drum holds up to 35 T-shirts per wash and dries around 15 wet T-shirts. There's an extra fast programme which washes and dries a smaller 5 or 6 T-shirt load in only 60 minutes – great for school uniforms or work shirts you need in a hurry. And it comes with clever sensor drying. It detects the level of moisture in your clothing and stops as soon as they’re dry enough – saving you money and energy too.

Hotpoint WDL520P

Ideal for saving space, the Hotpoint WDL520P does the job of two appliances in one. It’s well suited to a 3 or 4 person family, as the 7kg drum lets you wash up to 35 T-shirts at once. You’ll be able to dry the equivalent of 15 wet T-shirts too – drying loads tend to be smaller in order to give your clothes more room to breathe.

If you only need a few items running, there’s a 60 minute wash and dry cycle. It’s excellent if you need a load of shirts cleaning on a Sunday night, or your sports kits ready for the following morning. It has a great money and energy saving feature in its sensor drying. By detecting the level of moisture in your clothing, the WDL520P stops as soon as your laundry is dry. Very clever indeed.

There’s an extra tough baby cycle setting for removing those stubborn stains that children can attract. Dried on baby food lifts out really easily and still keeps the fabrics soft. It does the same with the dedicated wools cycle. It’s so gentle to your fabrics that it’s certified by Woolmark themselves.

You’ll even find options to help make your ironing simpler too. The anti crease setting moves the drum in both directions, preventing tangles in your clothes. It stops heavy creasing from setting, meaning your ironing takes far less time and effort.

"A Good Buy"

Pros: Quiet, Good build quality, Value for money

Cons: Complicated

"Overall we're very pleased with this machine, but we have one or two gripes. It takes awhile to work out the best programme to use for a particular load. The Ready to wear cycle is very useful for washing and drying light loads quickly. That said the standard cotton cycle takes a whole 2 hours - rather long! The drying cycles take longer than on our old Bosch Classix and it's too easy to forget to switch off the drying when you don't want it."

"Good Value"

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet, detergent drawer is well designed, slim - fits easily within a 600 mm deep recess

"I had an Indesit WDL (something or other) before this, and it had reached the end of it's life. Bought this as a replacement and I must say it's far easier to use than the Indesit was. I particularly like :1)The detergent drawer design - ours fits into the units and previously, the sliding drawer in the old machine fouled the door. 2) It gives a nice solid 'click' when the door unlocks (and doesn't take ages to unlock either.) 3) The ability to pause the (wash) cycle and put another item in that had been forgotten - so useful.

The complaints I've read about the drying function are unfair - all washer dryers are slower than stand alone dryers, due to the way they work, i.e. by condensing the steam . This one is far better than my old machine and has the clothes dry in no time at all. Don't overload the dryer, and stop (can't pause when drying, unfortunately ) the machine after twenty minutes or so and give the clothes a shake, out of the dryer then put them back in for a few more minutes.

Overall, for the money, I can't fault it - I would definitely recommend it."

"Huge disappointment"

Pros: Good build quality

Cons: Noisy, Complicated

"I am not happy with this machine for the following reasons:

1.This machine makes so much noise I try to avoid putting it on during the day time as it is so irritating. It makes an annoying humming sound when washing and a high pitched shrill whine when spinning -at top speed it is so shrill it sounds like a kettle whistling. I contacted Hotpoint who sent out an engineer and he told me this was normal noise!

2. There is no built in timer to delay start of the cycle and it is not possible to use a plug in timer with it.

3.The duration of each cycle is not displayed on the machine so it is necessary to constantly refer back to the manual

4. It is easy to forget to turn the tumble dry function off if not required

5. The shortest programme is 55 minutes

6. When I do a dark wash it is often streaked with white marks."

"Its alright i guess."

Pros: Good build quality

Cons: Noisy, tempramental dryer

"Well i have to be honest and say it is the first washer dryer combi ive owned so maybe my expectations were too high.

It washes clothes and it dries clothes so i guess it does the job its just personally i think it could do the job better.

Apart from the ready to wear cycle all cycles seen to take an eternity and are all very noisy.

Ive taken to just washing things in it (which defeats the purpose i bought it for in the first place) as when it dries things they are either still wet or permanently creased. Ive spent 40 minutes ironing a pair of trousers and can still see the creases. Also a few items have come out with scorch marks on them as well. its still better than washing everything by hand though so im looking on the bright side!"
