I have just bought a Hotpoint WMF945 Aquarius Plus
Although the dial hasn't got an end stop, I have made a nick in the knob as an
indicator.
Maximum load depends on cycle, but up to 8kG, and lowest 1kG for sensitive
fabrics.
Very low water consumption, cold feed only.
Very quiet.
It is possible to stop it in order to put in a forgotten item!
£400 in round figures.
Really pleased with it.

Audrey,
I may be having to replace my washer soon and was thinking of going Bosh
this time around. Can you tell me, please, the model of your machine and
capacity load, if possible?
Thanks.
