About this model
Text from the manufacturer, via Icecat.
When you've got a full household and plenty of laundry that needs to be taken care of, this 12kg Hotpoint Fabric Care washing machine in pristine white is your trusted partner.
The unique Fabric Care drum design minimises friction and wear so your favourite clothes get a more gentle wash, while ColourCare uses a cooler temperature to lock in colour for longer. If you're a pet loving home, PetHairCare adds an extra prewash and rinse to lift out pet hair while protecting your fabrics.
Stains are no match for the Anti-Stain function, which removes 24 common types* with ease. And when time is tight, Full Load 45’ gets through your whole load in just 45 minutes. SteamCare is also on hand to quickly freshen up lightly worn items that don't need a full wash, smoothing creases and saving time at the ironing board.
With a long-lasting 25-year certified inverter motor** and an ultra-efficient A-30% rating, this machine is ready to meet daily demands while keeping energy use low.
