Third-party reviews

What we like about Hotpoint RSSG RV227

  • 16 programs cover the usual wash types.
  • Washing noise of 50 dB is easy to live with in a shared home.
  • At 43.5 cm deep, it suits a shallow alcove.
  • A steam function is included.
  • Laundry detection adjusts the wash to the size of the load.
  • The inverter motor has a 10-year warranty.

What we don't like about Hotpoint RSSG RV227

  • Energy use is high, at 69 kWh per 100 cycles.
  • The spin reaches 78 dB, which is noticeable at the end of a cycle.
  • The ECO cycle runs for 350 min, close to six hours.
  • A pre-wash cycle is missing, which matters for muddy loads.
  • Overflow protection is missing, so a fault can cause a spill.

Verdict

The Hotpoint RSSG RV227 is a 7 kg washing machine notable for its quiet operation during washing at just 50 dB and low water consumption of 45 litres per cycle. The model includes 16 specialised wash programs and an efficient inverter motor with a 10-year warranty, along with steam technology for refreshing clothes in 20 minutes. The machine features a load balancing system to distribute laundry evenly. However, critical aspects include high energy consumption of 69 kWh per 100 cycles and significant noise during spinning (78 dB). Performance is limited by only three spin speeds with a maximum of 1200 rpm and the lack of overflow protection, as well as essential functions like a delicate cycle, pre-wash, and self-cleaning.
