Third-party reviews

What we like about Hotpoint RSSF R327

  • 16 washing programs give plenty of choice.
  • A wash noise of 50 dB keeps things calm in a shared flat.
  • At 43.5 cm deep it suits a narrow utility room.
  • The inverter motor comes with a 10-year warranty.
  • The refresh cycle freshens clothes that do not need a full wash.
  • Steam technology is included.

What we don't like about Hotpoint RSSF R327

  • Running costs are high at 69 kWh per 100 cycles.
  • The spin is loud at 78 dB.
  • The ECO cycle takes 350 min, so an economy wash is a long day.
  • There is no pre-wash cycle for heavily soiled laundry.
  • There is no overflow protection and no gentle cycle.

Verdict

The Hotpoint RSSF R327 is a 7 kg washing machine with 16 different programs, including specialised cycles like Stain Removal 40° and Steam Refresh. Its inverter motor comes with a 10-year warranty, and the machine operates quietly during washing at just 50 dB. Steam technology allows clothes to be refreshed in 20 minutes without a full wash. The load balancing system maintains even distribution of laundry, and water consumption is efficient at 45 litres per cycle. Drawbacks include high energy consumption of 69 kWh per 100 cycles with a D energy class, a noise level of 78 dB during spinning, and only three spin speeds up to 1200 rpm. The machine lacks overflow protection, a pre-wash cycle, self-cleaning, and a delicate cycle.
