What we like about Hotpoint NSWM 7469 BS UK

  • 16 programmes cover most fabric types.
  • Energy use is 45 kWh per 100 cycles.
  • A 1400 RPM spin removes more water from the load.
  • Anti-stain and anti-crease functions keep marks and creases in check.
  • Dedicated cycles for jeans and duvets suit mixed loads.
  • The pause and add option lets you add a forgotten item mid-wash.

What we don't like about Hotpoint NSWM 7469 BS UK

  • The fastest cycle takes 30 min.
  • The minimum spin speed is 800 RPM, so gentle cycles leave more water in the load.
  • At 67.2 kg it is hard to move.
  • Spin noise of 76 dB can be heard in a quiet room.

Verdict

If your washing ranges from jeans and shirts to duvets, the Hotpoint NSWM 7469 BS UK covers most of it. The 16 programmes include a hygiene cycle and an anti-allergy cycle. At 45 kWh per 100 cycles, energy use is kept low. The 1400 RPM spin helps clothes come out of the drum drier. Anti-stain and anti-crease functions help with marks and creases. The 7 kg drum suits a household with a few loads a week. The pause and add option and delay start give flexibility. The trade-off is that the fastest cycle takes 30 min. At 67.2 kg it is heavy, so it stays put once in place. It suits a family that washes a mix of everyday fabrics and bulky duvets, and does not mind the weight.
