“Poor fabric care”

written by on 10/09/2013

Hotpoint Aqualtis washer dryer. Really disappointed with this machine. It was top of the range at the time and consequently very expensive. The cycle times are very long, although can be adjusted to shorter. There is no half load/quick wash capability. The minute wash and tumble dry does not wash properly.

My main issue, however, is the way that it fades/damages fabrics. Two of my favourite dark tops have faded and have a strange fuzz of very short grey/white fibres on the surface. Colour on the edges of clothes wears quickly, so they look old and worn long before their time. Soft cottons come out with the surfaces slightly roughed up and no longer smooth. I used the dark fabrics cycle, so none of this surface damage and fading should have happened.

I have read lots of reviews of this machine and no-one has mentioned this, so I wonder if it is just this one. However, it's a small complaint compared with other people's bad experiences with these Hotpoint(really Indesit) Aqualtis machines. My previous machine was a Hotpoint and I loved it to pieces, almost literally after 10 years and two children.
