Hotpoint BHWD129 U K 1 reviews

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Hotpoint BHWD129 U K 1

1. Can you stop the dryer whenever you want to? I often use my current dryer to finish off drying clothes which have been on a radiator so I don't want to be tied to a drying cycle.

   1. You can stop the dryer at anytime by pressing start/pause.

2. does it dry clothes well? Are you able to empty filter yourself

   1. See my review but its not as good as a vented dryer and clothes need to be taken out within say half an hour after its done or when you stop it for them not to get damp as for the filters there are none its a washer/dryer the only thing it has is the pre-chamber at the bottom.

5. Does the drying function work well? My previous Indesit dryer took at least 2 hours to dry bed sheets....?
   
   Does it have a delayed timer on it...?

   1. See my review it drys well if not over loaded and it helps if the drain hose is not kinked and spigot is not blocked with muck.
      
      Is has no delayed timer.

6. I have never had a washer dryer before but have always bought Hotpoint washing machines.
   A bit concerned about shortest washing time being 55 mins (my current machine has quick 30 min wash).
   More concerned about length of drying though - towels 2 hours?
   Any feedback on the above from an owner would be very much appreciated.
   
   Annette asked on 07 Nov 2011
   1. Don't know why quick wash is longer but shortest washing is 60 mins cycle 5 as 10 is for silk.
      
      Many Towels take a long time as this is not a vented dryer.

8. Can you do a wash only cycle or does it automatically go straight to a drying cycle?
   
   Claire asked on 15 Feb 2012
   1. Can do a washing only cycle, I have still to use the drying cycle.

9. Does it beep at the end of a cycle? My old Siemens washing machine would beep at 10 minute intervals for up to 2 hours after finishing a cycle, and it drove me mad! Couldn't put a wash on overnight as it would wake me up!

   1. If it does I haven't noticed. Will check on next wash.

   2. Its makes a click, click noise to open the door at the end of a cycle.

10. What program do I use for a Wash only cycle- I don't want it to dry my clothes. How do I do it?
    
    Carol asked on 13 Apr 2012
    1. You can use most programs
       Just make sure your dryer program is not on. This is the one with a cross though it just before the 40 min timer.
