Third-party reviews

What we like about Hotpoint C HD 103M WW UK

  • 10 kg capacity takes a double duvet and sheets.
  • 15 programs, including duvet, baby and bed linen.
  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle once the load is dry.
  • Selectable drying level for each load.
  • Fast function for a quick load.
  • Child lock and an interior light.

What we don't like about Hotpoint C HD 103M WW UK

  • The 110 L drum is small for bulky duvets.
  • At 2.15 kWh per full load, running costs add up.
  • At 64 dB it is clearly audible.
  • At 44 kg it is hard to move.

Verdict

If you wash a lot of bedding, the Hotpoint C HD 103M WW UK is built for that job. It takes 10 kg, so a double duvet and a full set of sheets can go in one load. The 15 programs include duvet, bed linen, shirts, jeans and a baby program. The fast function is handy for a quick load, and humidity sensors stop the cycle once the load is dry. The 110 L drum is the trade-off, because bulky duvets can crowd it. At 2.15 kWh per full load, running costs add up for a daily user. At 64 dB it is clearly audible, and at 44 kg it is hard to move. It suits a family with a lot of bedding who does not mind a machine that stays put.
