    Verdict

    Hotpoint NDB 8636 WA IT handles 8 kg of laundry for washing and 6 kg for drying, using a Digital Motion Inverter Motor that ensures quiet performance and precise stain removal. It includes 16 washing programs such as Anti-Allergy, Steam Hygiene, and Quick Wash & Dry XS, which cleans and dries 1 kg of clothes in just 45 minutes. Energy and water efficiency are key strengths, with only 47 kWh and 48 liters per 100 wash cycles. Technologies like Active Care, Aqua Stop, and Pre-mix improve cleaning while protecting fabrics. The machine also allows pause-and-add during a cycle and offers drying level selection with options like Iron or Cupboard dry. On the downside, it lacks features found in more advanced models, such as foam control, refresh or pre-wash cycles, and a self-cleaning option. The 12 feature count is below average, and there's no Wi-Fi or automatic detergent dosing. While spin noise is moderate at 75 dB, spin speed options are limited, and the drum capacity of 58 liters is smaller than many competitors.
