Just looking to buy a new washer dryer, this is a helpful video thanks
Thanks for watching.
I've just got this model, the wash and dry should be called wash and damp. My clothes are still wet and smell weird its brand new.
:( I rarely use the drying function so cant comment on that aspect of it.
@@SpectrumGeeks yes think I'll stick to the wash only lol
The video is helpful, but I have just been checking the manual and there is an option for drying button if you do not require to dry the clothes eg. wool and hand wash
Cheers, clearly missed that. I rarely use the dryer function, but like to have it.
Really useful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hwe purchased the RD966J machine and it was giving error code F08 from new. The original advice was to reset the machine. This issue was persistent and got to the stage where we could not wash above 20 degrees and the dryer function became useless.
The original advice to simply reset the machine has now changed to book an engineer and at cost to us!
More concerning to me is that this error occurs randomly during a cycle and the machine has to be turned off via the wall socket as it become Incredibly hot and frozen stuck showing f08 on the display.
As I stated previously the original misleading information of simply reset the machine then changed to book an engineer and I feel duped.
We dare not use it when we go to bed.
Cheers for sharing, touch wood ours is still working fine. Its louder than it originally was, but working well.
Two questions if I may. Can it do a dry only cycle, my now buggered Bush washer dryer couldn't? Also, is it quiet? I took on board about the cheaper Economy 7 electricity and I wouldn't mind doing that too, but I live in a flat and I don't want to disturb my neighbours.
Yeah, certain wash modes have a "dry only" function.
You can hear how loud the washing machine is in the video, it has got louder as its got older.
Please could you let me know each cycle duration for each setting as I am struggling to find this info online ?
Check out the manafacturer website and download the manual, should give you in the info you need.
Bosch Siemens miele aeg washing machine are the better brands think beko are better than hotpoint? Had Siemens iq 700 heat pump dryer for 7 years on every day never missed a bit
I think we all have different experiences with brands, touch wood I have always been good with Hotpoint.
@@SpectrumGeeks still think German brands the top models still the best Hotpoint Hoover not in the same league
Hi there- thanks for posting the video. We have this same device but wondered if you need to clear the drying lint from anywhere - there doesn't seem to be a filter accessible for this?
I don't recall seeing anything in the manual, and I have not yet had the cause to look for one, but certainly nothing obvious.
Check this part of the online manual - www.manualslib.com/manual/1242926/Hotpoint-Rd-966-J.html?page=6&term=drawer&selected=1#manual
Siemens bosch heat pumps iq700 self-cleaning dryers
Just wondering, what is the shortest 40c with 1600 full spin cycle on this machine? I’ve been looking at a new hot point washer but the cycle lengths are almost twice that of my old one, there are functions that can speed them up but they always reduce the spin to a silly 800 which mean the clothes take forever to dry - does this machine have a relatively short (less than 90 min) 40c with full spin cycle? If so I may consider a washer dryier rather than a full washer
Not that I have found, like you say the shorter wash cycle is around an 800 spin, so then I select an extra spin and pump out cycle after if needed.
Spectrum Geeks I have a 10 year old got point Aquarius ultimate that does a 40c wash with a 1600 spin in 1 hour and 30, seems to be whatever hotpoint I look at now takes far longer, think I’ll start looking at other brands
@@gamwam Need to find something that meets your needs best. Alot of new washers seem to be similar though.
Hey, I've had this washerdryer for 2 years now. I've only just discovered where to stow the purple liquid partition (when not in use) and you've just told me what the direct injection does. I find that in my washerdryer I always have a lump of powder left does this happen to you?
No lump of powder in mine, but I only use liquid detergents.
I have noticed its suddenly got louder so I need to look into that.
@@SpectrumGeeks Thanks for responding. I hope you fix the noise :-)
@@SpectrumGeeks reckon the noise is just what happens after they've been used? I was surprised how quiet it was and said to my dad. First thing he said was "give it a week!" Haha.
I think it might be a pipe vibrating or something. I need to pull it out and have a look really.
@spectrum geeks How's your machine now? I've just moved house with mine and it's making a hell of a racket. Thought it was just because the new kitchen is laminate flooring vs previous concrete floor. Going to contact Hotpoint see if the noise is covered under warranty.
Hello mate, just wondering if this is a condenser dryer or a heat pump, I've heard the heat pump ones are much lower running costs.
Its a condenser. I have heard the same about heat pumps, but we dont use the dryer that often but just like to have one incase its needed during the winter months.
@@SpectrumGeeks thanks that makes sense. Look forward to more content regarding solar and stuff :-)
Cheers, thanks for watching and commenting.
heat pump technology is only available in stand-alone separate dryers. Washer dryer combos use a cold water condenser to evaporate the water
Do all the wash cycles have a dry function or can you turn it off
You can set the drying function to not occur.
Can you help? The child lock button is stuck on ?! 😞
Afraid not, I have never actually used this feature.
Clickbaity and slightly misleading title. Good review though.
Not sure why clickbaity, but thats for checking it out.
What was the old washer
Sorry I cant remember anymore. Had it about 10 years.
This one isnt as silent as it first was, but working well.
