Third-party reviews

What we like about Hotpoint NF725WK

  • At 54 cm deep, it fits small flats and tight kitchens.
  • The 1200 rpm spin leaves clothes well dried.
  • Steam technology adds a freshening option to the usual cycles.
  • The clear display gives several wash options.
  • Laundry detection adjusts the wash to the load.
  • The inverter motor comes with a 10-year warranty.

What we don't like about Hotpoint NF725WK

  • At 7 kg it is small for a large family.
  • Energy class B is not the most efficient option available.
  • There is no pre-wash for heavily soiled laundry.
  • There is no overflow protection and no outdoor or sport cycle.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be controlled from a phone.

Verdict

The Hotpoint NF725WK washing machine, in energy efficiency class B, stands out for its low energy consumption of 52 kWh per 100 cycles and minimal water usage of just 45 litres per cycle. Equipped with a load balancing system that adjusts the drum speed to evenly distribute laundry and reduce vibrations, this washing machine also features steam technology, an inverter motor, and a convenient quick function that saves up to 50% of washing time. The 10-year motor warranty is another strong point. However, the maximum spin speed is only 1200 rpm, and it lacks advanced functions such as overflow protection, a pre-wash cycle, self-cleaning, anti-crease, and a specific cycle for sportswear. Additionally, it does not include a special drum design.
