Hotpoint WMFUG742P review
Review: July 2014 | ||
![]() Last updated November 2015 Rating: In a nutshell: The Hotpoint WMFUG742P is a relatively compact 7kg capacity washer with a moderate spin speed of 1400rpm and an A++ efficiency rating. It uses Hotpoint's new Smart Technology, which enables it to sense load size and manage water levels and wash intensity to optimise efficiency. It's a fairly-priced family washing machine, but noisier than its 8kg capacity counterpart, the WMFUG842P. Today's best buy: Hotpoint WMFUG742P from Currys (£299.00) |

Stop worrying how sock get in during wash in drain machine is less

How do you work the smart button to choose wash Intensity, when smart button pushed all 3 lights flash and go off, same with easy iron button. What am I doing wrong ?

This washing machine is especially suitable for people with skin
issues and allergies as it rinses thoroughly .
Has a baby wash
too.
Hotpoint know their business unlike LG that does not rinse
although they advertise medic washes skin care ETC just hopeless.

Had the machine 12 months and it has now broken down 3 times with the
same problem, faulty pressure switch which stops the water supply.
Would certainly not recommend.

Rubbish machine has broken down twice in 11 months - first time after
just 6 weeks. Same problem and the engineers come and then can't get
parts been without a machine for nearly 4 weeks. I would steer well
clear and buy a more reliable brand with better after care and
service. Their service centre is not helpful and just want to sell you
aftercare tablets and extended warranties to earn more monies.

Faulty spin cycle. Repair man came out and said door wasn't shut
properly. Guess this is the excuse they use because this keeps
happening.
