Third-party reviews

What customers like about Hotpoint CAWD 129

  • 16 wash programs give plenty of choice.
  • Height of 81.5 cm suits a built-in space under a worktop.
  • The Night/Silent option keeps the noise down.
  • The noise-reducing design keeps washing at 52 dB.
  • Annual water use is 12000 L a year for washing and drying.
  • Delay start lets you set the wash for later.

What customers don't like about Hotpoint CAWD 129

  • A 7 kg wash load is small for a large family.
  • A combined cycle uses 98 L of water.
  • The spin tops out at 1200 RPM, so clothes come out wetter.
  • There is no display, only buttons and a dial.
  • The drum is 52 L, which limits bulky items.

Verdict

Built to sit under a worktop, the Hotpoint CAWD 129 suits a small kitchen where space is tight. At 81.5 cm tall and 54.5 cm deep, it takes up little room, which is handy when every centimetre counts. It has 16 wash programs, which is more than most people will ever use, and 3 dry programs. The Night/Silent option and the noise-reducing design keep it calm after dark, and washing runs at 52 dB. A 7 kg wash and 5 kg dry are on the small side, and a combined cycle uses 98 L of water. There is no display, so the controls are buttons and a dial. It suits someone living alone or as a couple who wants a quiet, low-fuss machine and does not need a large load.
