Is the Hotpoint AntiStain H 101 ANTI STAIN UK worth it?

Yes, if you want a big drum and wash out a lot of stains.

It's a 10 kg, 1400-spin machine with Hotpoint's anti-stain programmes, a 17-minute SteamCare refresh and an inverter motor certified for 25 years of life, A rated (10% under the A limit, Hotpoint says) at 45 kWh per 100 cycles and 58 cm deep. Owners mostly praise the wash results, the programmes and how quiet it is. The few unhappy owners describe a violent spin on some loads, washes running longer than shown and clothes needing an extra spin. No independent test we can read has been published, so this verdict rests on Hotpoint's specs and verified owner reviews.
