Washing Machine Comparison

A washing machine is one of the most used appliances in any home. From freshening up school uniforms to tackling weekend laundry loads, the right model can make everyday life much easier. But with different capacities, colours, and features available, how do you know which one is best for your household?

In this guide, we’ll walk you through some of our most popular Hotpoint washing machines - from spacious 10kg models perfect for busy families, to compact options designed to fit seamlessly into smaller homes.

Freestanding washing machines are the most common option for a reason: they're easy to use!

Why choose a freestanding model?

• Flexible placement anywhere with water access and drainage
•  Easy to move or replace without cabinet adjustments
• Available in a wide range of drum sizes, colours and finishes 

Hotpoint freestanding washing machines are available from 7kg to 11kg, giving you the right capacity to match your household’s needs.

If you want a more seamless look, an integrated washing machine fits behind a cupboard door and matches your kitchen design.

Why go integrated?

• Designed to look contemporary and seamlessly blend into your kitchen style. 
• Built-in washing machines are just as powerful as freestanding models, with all the same great features. 
• Quiet performance, making them ideal for open-plan living spaces. 

Hotpoint integrated options have great drum capacity so you don't sacrifice size with this choice.

One of the most important factors when buying a new machine is the drum size. Hotpoint has a range of options, we find that the 9kg washing machines and 10kg washing machines are ideal for families. 

•  9kg washing machine: Works best for medium-sized families. Can wash approximately 45 T-shirts or bedding set in one load.
• 10kg washing machine: Works best for larger families. Designed for bigger loads like king-sized duvets and thick towels.

Your appliances should complement your kitchen design as much as they serve everyday needs. With Hotpoint, you can choose from a range of finishes, from classic white to modern silver and elegant graphite, to suit your style.

If you’re looking for a bolder style statement, a black washing machine brings a modern edge and creates a striking contrast against lighter cabinetry. Whichever colour you choose, every Hotpoint washing machine delivers the same reliable performance and care you can trust.

Today’s washing machines offer more than just different sizes and colour options — they’re packed with features designed to make everyday laundry easier and more efficient.

•  Fabric Care: Make Hotpoint tone of voice but keep SEO value keep bullet points
• ColourCare: ColourCare gently washes at lower temperatures, helping to protect your clothes and keep colours vibrant for longer.
• PetHairCare: Thanks to an added prewash and extra rinse, the PetHairCare option gently removes pet hair while protecting your fabrics, leaving your laundry fresh, clean, and hair-free.
• Anti-Stain technology: Edits the most common stains (tea and mud) without pre-treatment.
• Steam Hygiene: Provides steam at the end of the cycle to eliminate bacteria and return freshness.
• Rapid washes: In under an hour, users get clean clothes for those "I need this by 6pm" moments.
•  Energy efficient: New generations save energy use in water and electricity with ease.

All these features help keep clothes looking better longer and save you time.
