    The Hotpoint RSD 8229 ST K is a dream come true. I saw it in a store here in town and have been running around for three days now, reading reviews and articles about it. I loved it from the very beginning.

  2. Sofia

    I have a Whirlpool front-loading washer with a steam function. You can wash just about anything in it!

  3. Leonid

    We bought a good front-loading Indesit for our home – we have only good impressions about it)

  4. Lyudmila

    Seriously, not a single Indesit?! That's not possible! As for me, I can safely add it to the rating.

  5. Alice

    My husband has allergies, so for a long time, laundry was a bit of a challenge. However, once we got a HotPoint washing machine, some of the problems disappeared. This is thanks not only to the steam cleaning but also to the anti-allergy mode, which includes an extra rinse.

  6. Elena

    Apparently, many Hotpoint models have steam cleaning, since ours also has this function.
