Brandon! Aha i'm intruegued my cousin has recently purchased a WT961A? i'm not brill with model numbers. TOL alluminum 1600 7kg. He said it's brill aside from it havin a slight fault. Bascially i am intregued to no; Does it do the powerstream in the main wash cycle like my old WMA60P used to do as they don't advertise the feature & secondly how happy are you with the rinsing and what sorta level is the water in the rinses! And lastly one thing i've had clarrified by my cousin and my mother when she was there is they are deadly quiet?! Can you confirm?! Would love to see some pics and videos if you have the time!

My nana's WF340 also distributes during the drains, old Hotpoint style! Goes straight to distribute as soon as the drain starts too... just a shame it spoils it by messing about with anti tangle tumbles afterwards! Jon |

Aye my old WF000 distributed from rinse and stayed distributing until spin. It seems there are many differences between model numbers in Hotpoint Current line up. and yes the WF000 did Powerstream in all Cotton washes, Rinse Levelwas half way up the door too. Although it was a noisy machine (which you know i like) it was not a nice noise....... i got bored of it pretty soon. Nick |

powerstream Is something that hotpoint brought in way back in 2000 which i found to be very similar to the hoover spin wash except for the spin part lol. Basically durin about 4 stages of the wash the drum kicks up the speed into distribution speed pulling the water and detergent through the clothes. and where as my hoover would advance to spinning 400rpm these just kept tumbling and tumbling and then dropped back to normal tumble speed. I did like the idea it was nice to watch. Darren |

Jon If you get one I will too. Over my dead body I will lol..... The WF000 was useless. Wash enhance is just a longer wash and does jack all to the tumble effect and does not make much of a difference to the wash performance. And to be honest, Yes they are A rated for wash but my whites were really worse than using my current Hottie. They dipped for a short while until we moved into the new house and lost that piece of junk and I got my Zanussi. They really are not worth the money from what I experienced with mine, get that Hoover Logic if its distributions with water you want. Im not slating them because of who they are made by, its just true honest comments I have experienced in person. Not alot of thought has gone into these machines. What use is a 60*c 60 minute Cottons Quickwash when you have a pair of jeans you need like asap. The 30*c Delicates 30 minute quickwash did 2 rinses and a measly slow spin at the end meaning you had to re do the full 20 minute fast sin after......... make your own judgement. And the pumps get clogged easily and ours let sink water siphon back in everytime you poured water down the sink. It was plumbed in correctly, I checked daily. When I had the sump apart there was a flimsy rubber cover over the pump outlet that was so flimsy the force of the water bent it and it got wedged into the drain hose meaning water could get in and fill the machine. several times I put this fault right and gave up. I had to drain the machine EVERY time I used it before I put the clothes in. We went away for a week and the mother in law popped in to the house while she was in town so she could have a brew (with our permission beforehand) and washed her mug. The water that went down the sink sat in the machine for the next 5 days and you can imagine what we came home to. The blockage was half a cotton bud stick that had gotten somehow and was wedged in the pump causing an awful noise. Never again will I put my money to new Hotpoint. You know the rest. Nick |
