What we like about Hotpoint NSWF 846 W UK

  • 16 programs include Baby Care, Hygiene and Duvet cycles.
  • Anti-stain and anti-crease functions help clothes stay neat.
  • Delay start of up to 24 h lets the wash run on your schedule.
  • A time remaining indicator shows how long the cycle has left.
  • An ECO indicator shows when the wash is running on an eco setting.
  • Water use of 48 L per cycle keeps water use down.

What we don't like about Hotpoint NSWF 846 W UK

  • The 60.5 cm depth needs deep floor space.
  • At 68.5 kg it is hard to move.
  • The fastest cycle takes 30 min, so it is no good for a rushed job.
  • The 76 dB spin is loud in a quiet room.
  • There is no pause and add, so a forgotten sock cannot be slipped in mid-cycle.

Verdict

Hygiene and baby care come first with the Hotpoint NSWF 846 W UK, an 8 kg front-loader with 16 programs. Among its programs are Anti-Allergy, Duvet and Wool cycles. A time remaining indicator and an ECO indicator show how the cycle is going. Delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead, so a wash can finish when you get home from work, which is handy on a busy day. The trade-offs are size and time: the body is 60.5 cm deep and 68.5 kg, and the fastest cycle takes 30 min. The spin reaches 76 dB, which is noticeable in a quiet room. It suits a household where hygiene matters more than speed, and where there is room for a deep, heavy machine in the kitchen.
