Yes hot fill is a waste of time in a modern front loader. Hot water would be making its way through most peoples pipes and before it gets to the machine its already up to level. So if you've a combi boiler it would be a waste of time even firing up. My old AEG 971 which now resides with Lavamatjon only ever filled with cold unless the temp selector was set to 60 or above. As Hotpoint9543 said, bio detergents need to start in cold water to get working on the stains properly so filling with hot water is diminishing the performance of the detergent. I also seem to remember my Miele W820 washed for most of the program in cold water, and only heated up to temp near the end of the wash cycle to make full use of bio detergents. Steve |

You would find it very difficult to find a hot and cold fill machine in the UK. The last were the very cheap Indesit models. |
