Hotpoint active care cotton 60

Washing a full load of general wear with formil bio powder, lenor pink blossom unstoppables and softener

Have to say this cycle worked completely differently to what I was expecting

I presumed this was gonna be an eco friendly wash that does around 40°C instead of 60°C as that’s what quite a lot of the newer ones do but seems this one doesn’t!

The machine heats right up to 60°C and as soon as it reaches that it turns direct injection on and uses it for the remainder of the main wash along with all the rinses the machine doesn’t temp hold either on this cycle so guess it kind of is an eco cycle only it does reach temp

The machine performs 3 deep rinses with 1000rpm spins in between and a VERY long 20 minute final spin

The final spin pattern is very different on this wash too it spends quite a lot of time at 800rpm then 1000rpm so much so I thought it had limited the spin at first then it shoots right up to 1400rpm then goes up to 1600rpm this causes quite honestly one of the biggest vortexes on the glass I’ve seen this machine have it was very fun to watch in person 😂

The clothes where washed well as expected from a cycle of this length just a shame it isn’t half the time it is 4 hours for a wash is really excessive 🥲
