Hotpoint Aquarius Extra WMA48

We have had a later version of this WMA48P model (serial No216.....) for the past 5 years now using it every day without fail, and I can truthfully say that it has always performed perfectly, however in the last 6 months or so it has been noticed that the spinning operation has turned decidedly noisier because of bearing wear so I will be purchasing the necessary kit to carry out the job.

Apart from that problem I cant fault the machine and can only assume that the a sizable number of users who have made derogatory comments about parts breaking on the machine have possibly been unwittingly guilty of grossly overloading it.

Had one for approx. 3yrs and have had to change the control board, the heater and three plastic ribs on the drum.Also the pump filter is not handy to get at.

i love this machine,i have it in silver having to get a new one now its beenfaithful for seven years.dreading having to replace it.

The Aquarius Extra does exactly what it says on the tin, i have had this machine for 7 years and NEVER once had to call anyone out to fix it, its seen me through my three children and is on at least tcie to three times a day. Sometimes you get a build up of junk in the tray but easily sorted with a brush, but can't fault this machine and i would definately buy another one if mine ever packs in... in fact i was a bit annoyed its still going as i quite fancied the new one out!

my Hotpoint Aquarius Extra WMA48 is an excellent washing machine. My daughter has the same model, and we wouldn't change it for anything.I have had mine over 5 years with no trouble.would recommend to anyone and everyone

I had this for 1 year and two days and had used it 30 times as i was away a lot. My dryer broke, no satisfactory help from hotpoint. Will never buy another hotpoint product again.

This machine is great ive owned the wms38 for 7 years now and as we are a large family of 10 there is a lot of washing i can do anything between 10-15 loads a day the spin speed is only 1200 rpm but doesnt take long to dry washing in the tumble dryer id recommend this washing machine cus its a work horse also i dont think its that noisy even though it is in the utility room so cant really hear it

I will be switching back to Indesit after this if I cant get this machine fixed.

Would not recommend this Hotpoint Washing Machine. Had no end of trouble with this washer dryer, had someone out to it at least three times in the first six months, would not recommend this product.

Good points a quick wash cycle. The bearings on my drum are rumbling and groaning, they have had it. Ridiculous failure, I live on my own, machine use once a week.....
