One of the preferred brands of washing machines in the UK is the Hotpoint washer which offers the home owners a ast savings in both energy and in time and money.

One of the leading brands in the UK, Hotpoint is also a leading name in many other home appliances Hotpoint opened its doors in 1905, an innovator in the field of home appliances in the United States. It was actually begun by a gentleman who was attempting to create more use of electricity in the California area.

Earl Richardson was a power and light superintendent in California. He wanted to increase the use of the electric service there and for that reason he set about inventing an iron that was electric and would cause consumption of power for use. His first design was not a resounding success because it overheated at the middle and so he came up with an idea to offer more heat where it was necessary.

His design over time was known as the “iron with a hot point”. It was a resounding success and was marketed by Pacific Electric which over time developed the Hotpoint trademark for their goods.

The company expanded to include all other home appliances such as toasters, toaster ovens and many other things, and by a scant six years later in 1911, the Hotpoint Electric Heating company had a good name and was listed as being among “largest exclusive manufacturers of electrically heated household appliances in the world”.

In 1929 Hotpoint became part of the General Electric Company industries and was officially GE brand products. These days, Merloni owns the Hotpoint corporation and they created not only small household appliances, but also larger ones, including dryers, washing machines, freezers and dishwashers. In Europe, Hotpoint products are second only to one other company.

Hotpoint Washing Machines - A UK Favourite!

Presently the Hotpoint washing machines are a favorite of home owners around the country. It remains what is known as a value brand, and truly does offer value in the home washing machines that it produces.

Hotpoint Washing Machines pride themselves on their innovative techniques as well as their advances in technology that afford the home owner the opportunity to use their washing machine for a longer period of time, while saving money on the cost of energy and of water while they are doing the household tasks. Drying washing is also faster due to the better spin cycles.

Hotpoint Washing machines provide intelligent solutions to problems with laundry such as washer overflow, and timing. They make every effort to make washing a far less tedious chore and while it may never be entirely fun, at least it will not longer be unwelcome and difficult.

Hotpoint also emphasizes style in their washing machines. Three watchwords will describe Hotpoint washing machines perfectly--sophistication, unique design, and elegance. The company places a great deal of value on these phrases and works hard to live up to them in the washing machines that they produce. Hotpoint washers are uniquely styled to fit into smaller areas, to offer a better look and feel, and to suite your style whether your kitchen or laundry area is old fashioned or modern. Hotpoint has a colour and a style to suit your tastes.

Hotpoint washing machines come in both top loading, as well as front-loading varieties. All of the machines that Hotpoint makes can be programmed with just a few clicks of a button and the washing cycle can also be programmed to start at a time that you choose. They are designed for fast, quiet performance and to give you a sparkling clean load of laundry.

Hotpoint washing machines also feature a new baby cycle that will help you to more readily clean out the stains and soils that are associated with babies and toddlers. You may lower the speed of your spin cycle in order to get a less wrinkled final wash, as well as to use a smaller capacity washing machine if you've got less space and less family to wash for. Using a modern clothes airer also gets your laundry dry for free.

Every Hotpoint washing machine has a tilted drum for offering the home owner easier loading and extra access while giving you more than nine cycles in most machines. Your new Hotpoint has a flexible agitator known as Flexcare that will assure a cleaner wash without compromising the fibers in your clothing.

HotPoint has also made a nod toward keeping your family safe too by offering child locks on the lids of washing machines in order to keep children from playing in or around the machines.

Top Hotpoint Models

Hot point offers you four noted and notable machine values including:

Aqualtis - Hotpoint’s largest washers. In this range the Aqualtis AQGD169S is the largest model and has some wonderful options and features however reviewers state that it does not have the best rinse available so if you're someone who has sensitive skin you will want to move to another model which offers a more complete rinse cycle.

The Ultima - the next model down-step is moderately smaller in size than the Aqualtis but spins as rapidly and offers clothing that some say is nearly dry when it alights from the washing machine. It is very efficient and does tend to rinse far more fully than the Aqualtis but also may be slightly more noisy when it washes and spins. It features plenty of room for a good wash and brings out very well cleaned clothing. It is slightly less costly than other models of the same size.

Aquarius - Slightly smaller and most say infinitely more silent is the Aquarius model that offers a load bearing capacity of around 6KG. They have less options and features but they still offer you a fast, clean, remarkable washing machine for a very economical price tag.
