Third-party reviews

What we like about Hotpoint WMTF 722U

  • Three programs finish in under an hour.
  • Sixteen washing programs give plenty of choice.
  • The motor warranty runs for 10 years.
  • An energy saving mode is included.
  • At 40 cm wide, it fits a tight space.
  • Fast function, anti-stain and extra rinse are all included.

What we don't like about Hotpoint WMTF 722U

  • Energy use is 78 kWh per 100 cycles, class E.
  • There is no inverter motor.
  • The spin is loud at 78 dB.
  • There is no laundry detection system.
  • There is no cold wash or outdoor sport cycle.

Verdict

The Hotpoint WMTF 722U is a 7 kg top-loading washing machine that balances practicality with space efficiency. This model features 16 washing programs including specialized cycles for jeans, baby clothes, and quick washes (Mixed 15', 30', and 60'). The Energy Saver program runs at lower temperatures while maintaining good cleaning results, and the machine includes convenient features like automatic drum positioning. With its compact size, it weighs just 57 kg and takes up 23% less space than standard models. On the downside, the machine operates at 1200 RPM maximum spin speed, uses 0.78 kWh per cycle, and has an E energy rating. It lacks several modern features found in other washers - there's no inverter motor, steam function, or anti-crease option, and the manufacturer doesn't specify any special drum design for fabric care.
