About - Hotpoint HTWP1000M[WW]
The Hotpoint HTWP1000M[WW] is part of the washing machine test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, top-loading washing machine models like the HTWP1000M[WW] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Washing performance: This reflects the degree of color change to swatches of fabric that were included in an 8-pound and maximum capacity test load of mixed cotton items using the machines' most aggressive normal cycle. (We do not use special cycle or option buttons.) Energy efficiency: This score is based on the energy needed to heat the water for 8-pound and maximum loads using a warm wash and cold rinse. We consider both gas and electric water heaters, and include electricity needed to run the washer and energy needed for drying. Washers that extract more water are scored higher. Water efficiency: This score denotes how much water it took to wash our 8-pound load and each machine's maximum load. On models that didn't set the fill level automatically, we used the lowest fill setting that sufficed for the 8-pound load. We then calculated water used per pound of clothing.

Features & Specs - Hotpoint HTWP1000M[WW]
Energy star The federal Energy Star program, administered by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, identifies a wide range of home appliances that use 10-50% less energy and water than standard models. These appliances can help you use less energy at home and save money on your utility bills. Energy star	No
Stainless-steel tub Tubs constructed of stainless steel are likely to be more durable than plastic or porcelain, and they allow for higher spin speeds. Plastic is the next most durable choice. Stainless-steel tub	No
Auto temp. control This feature automatically mixes hot and cold water to reach the chosen wash temperature (which differs on various makes of washers). It's a good way to compensate for normal variations in tap-water temperature and prevents problems caused by water that's too cold, which keeps detergent from working properly. Auto temp. control	No
Auto bleach dispenser Automatic Bleach dispenser releases the bleach at the proper point in the cycle, giving the detergent additives sufficient time to work. Auto bleach dispenser	No

Very bad choice indeed

Pros

Cons

Does'nt rince

Best Uses

NONE

Comment:

I use this washer a few times a week for everyday laundry. The wash cycles are just ok, but, the rince cycles are horrible. For a large load to rinse, it filled up with 1 of water - soaked with no agitation and then spun. How can you possibly rinse a large load of clothes in that amount of water? At this point I have to run the wash cycle again, with no soap, just to rinse my clothes out. So much for saving water and time

How long have you owned it:

A month or less

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

When I called customer service, they confirmed that it did not spin after the wash cycle. Sent me to a different consumer complaint dept as I complained about itchy skin and a rash. They told me that I had purchased a very energy efficient machine, which is not necessarily the truth. Was told that appliance manufacturers need to have an overall good energy efficiency rating, just like automobiles. I am very disappointed and it appears I am stuck with a machine that will require me to stay by the machine and spin out the dirty soapy water. What a waste of hard earned money
