Third-party reviews

What we like about Hotpoint CHD84MWBSEE

  • Heat pump drying with an inverter motor keeps energy use down.
  • The fast cycle finishes in 30 min for a light load.
  • A baby program suits homes with young children.
  • The reversible door fits either side of a kitchen.
  • An 8 kg capacity handles a family's weekly wash in fewer loads.
  • Gentle drying and a refresh program suit delicate clothes and quick freshening.

What we don't like about Hotpoint CHD84MWBSEE

  • The 110 L drum is small, so bulky items like duvets are a squeeze.
  • At 43 kg it is heavy to move, so one person may struggle.
  • At 64 dB it is clearly audible in a quiet room.
  • Energy efficiency class C means higher running costs than the top classes.

Verdict

Eight kilos of washing goes into the Hotpoint CHD84MWBSEE, a mid-range front-loading heat pump for a family that runs the machine most days. The heat pump and inverter motor keep the energy use modest, and the baby program suits households with small children. The fast cycle finishes in 30 min, which is handy after a quick wash. The door can be hinged on either side, so it suits awkward kitchens. The drum is small at 110 L, so bulky items such as duvets are a squeeze, and at 43 kg it is heavy to move. It runs at 64 dB, clearly audible in a quiet room. It suits a busy household that washes often, wants a quick drying option and does not mind a little noise in the laundry room.
