Now Comets got photo's I just noticed thanks to comet that the programme 5 is a cottons 20C programme, and not 30C as mentioned above, I also missed off Prog 6 - synthetics 60C I think Comet does better pic's tbh, you can zoom in on them better. Here's a 1300 spin 6KG version. CLICK HERE TO GO TO glenfieldmathk1's LINK | ||

Indesit
Look to be launching machines with new simplified program layout and dedicated 20deg washes. Not on Indesit UK's website yet. Link shows partial facia view and new programs.
I do really like the new Hotpoint machines with the big portholes and chunky dials. CLICK HERE TO GO TO paulc's LINK | ||

One thing.....
.....I don't understand is why the new 6kg Hotpoint is £389.99 but the 6kg Aquarius, before sale price was £299.99. I know the new model is more energy efficient with an A+++ rating as opposed to the Aquarius A+ but £90 more for a machine that will only save you pennies a month and has a slightly slower spin speed seems a bit steep, unless there are features I have missed on the new model.

Ohh these are great :-)
I'd be pleased to have the 20 deg prog because you can't really use the eco cycles in the winter when the temperature really drops. I used mine when we had that really hot spell and I'd say the water was about 15 deg or more and the cycles worked really well! It'd be better if they were like the elux eco cycle where it heats the temperature of the water if it drops too low. I love the new indesit too! I love this current range. From first hand experience I have had a machine from most ranges from hotpoint and indesit and this is by far the best. Darren | ||

3 hour cotton cycle...
Though this registers on the display when you select the programme, the first 10 minutes are sensing while slowly agitating and adjusting the water level. It will then pause and show the wash time and begin the fast tumbles. I've loaded it full of towels on cotton 60 and the longest the cycle went was 2hours 40!
The anti stain however is a genuine 3 hour cycle! 2 hours on fast tumbling at 40deg! Darren | ||

I've got to say i'm loving this new FUTURA range. As many have already said the cold eco washes weren't something i'd ever use as temperatures can be below 15oc with our climate.
Glad to hear it still uses the powersteam/ distribution wash system :) My old Hotpoint Aquarius WMA58 uses the powerstream wash system as Darren mentioned which is amazing. My aunt still has it in daily use and its around 9 years old now, bit battered tbh. It has a variable temperature selector which is very flexible from 95oc to 90oc going down in 10's to 20oc then to 'no heat'. One question, does the Hotpoint Aquarius+ WMPF742K have a super silent motor? Its a 7kg model with 1400 spin. Thank you all for the info :) | ||

Nice to see some new ranges. Didn't think Hotpoint would do any more for a while, but I like the name "Futura." | ||

Darren Am I thinking - your going to replace your Ultima, with one of these?? Do you think They will role it (20C Eco) out to the Ultima's? | ||

Super Silent... A Vast Majority of Aquarius+ Machines do have super silent brushes - One of which is the WMF940, One of the Best hotpoint machines I have seen since my WM64 was sent to the tip by someone in the house... | ||

Thank you for clarifying that :)
My aunt wanted to know as the Hotpoint Aquarius WMA58 is playing up, it is getting louder on spin cycles and the door handle's spring has broke. I was going to replace it but she's wanting a black hotpoint washing machine to match the new kitchen once it packs up. Thanks again :) | ||

The Newest line of Aquarius+ does have super silent wash motor, this is Magnetic, its something they only introduced with the round doors, something which old Aquarius+ (WMF940) didn't have. Yes there was Hotpoint Futura Ice Plus Fridge made before from Hotpoint. They also used Future as opposed to the Italian word for other fridges. | ||

I did notice on the Comet website it said the 6kg machine is 81db on spin. Fairly noisy. I am sure I read somewhere Lg machines are about 71db on spin and Panasonic 74db.
Now, you may think and extra 10db isn't that much but an increase of 10db makes quite a difference , hubby was an engineer and did explain it to me but I can't for the life of me remember exactly what he said and he isn't home just now to ask him. | ||

Cold wash
All manufacturers could solve the choice of temperature issue by simply putting a temperature option dial/button on every machine. At least that way if people wish to wash in cold water they can.....
The mere fact that most of us prefer warm to hot washes shouldn't prevent others from choosing what they prefer to use on a given cycle and I personally think non-adjustable, pre-programmed temperatures linked to a specific cycle is just ridiculous in this day and age. It should be easy to adjust - twist a dial or push a single button up or down. | ||

@ronhic These machines do feature variable temperature though. They have a button below the display. You can choose Off (Cold), 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90C. Even the old ones, with Eco wash have a variable temp, just the Old ECO wash only allowed a selection of cold. | ||

So they launched Hotpoint Futura, Hotpoint Style - what next More models without Eco wash - BTW the Black photo is the wrong photo, and the supposedly 1550rpm model actually shows the 1350 model. They must be more expensive because they don't feature the awful eco washes, or must be because they are made differently. | ||

Looking through that website they have some strange dryers too - a 3 dial condenser Hotpoint?? (only got 15 programmes though - so don't know what the extra programme is) - Looks very cluttered. a 6.5KG vented with what seems like different programmes to the 7KG Aquarius Model too.

"Cuddly Toys" It sounds like the "conveyor belt" on "The Generation Game": "a set of heated rollers, a fondue set, a case of fine wines, a pair of matching picture frames, an electric drill, a cuddly toy..." | ||

When...
it appears in stock, with the correct picture, then you will see a revised price - or even a special introductory offer of a third off - courtesy of a 28 day higher price...
On the other hand you will see prices steadily rise with all manufacturers, prices for low end particulary have been give away with no profit for far to long!! Get your bargains now!! | ||

Wasn't it Curry's that purchased Comet?? I am sure I read somewhere last year that Comet stores could close in 2012, as the latest owners (Curry's) were struggling to make ends meet. Or could we see them saying at Curry's, Comet & pC world on TV adds?? Maybe I read wrong? | ||

????
Mat, the Chief Executive heading the consortium that bought Comet is the ex Managing Director of Dixons Stores Group - which owns Currys...
Some stores will follow, however if anyone can turn Comet round, this man and team should be able to, they came on board in 1988 when Dixons bought Currys and DSG had the best years ever!!! | ||

Finally a 10Kg, 1600 spin version has launched too. It mentions on Curry's that only 44% water remains after full spin (If I remember correct, this makes it the driest results on the whole market based on the 1600 category). CLICK HERE TO GO TO glenfieldmathk1's LINK | ||

44% residual moisture content is nothing new, 1600rpm machines have achieved that since the year dot. Jon | ||

In my case, these machines aren't something special. The design is not much changed since I know these machines and there are no actual inovations. For me, they are just one of these several "exclisive" machines being the same just relabled. They are just not my kind of machine... | ||

That control panel doesn't look vastly different from the previous vented ones though, does it? All the vented ones I've seen in stores have had the dial in the middle and the smooth panel with text like that one. | ||

Its a different font, and the buttons are up down, as opposed to across (like on the previous/current range), (Different buttons too) Its got a wave drum, current ones only had wave paddles and smooth drum. The dial has OFF included, no off/on button. | ||
