Need to get the children’s school uniform ready in a hurry? Then opt for the Quick Wash/Dry option, which will have their clothes clean in just half an hour. Or, if it’s been match day, and you need to tackle a mucky kit, choose the Anti Stain 40-degree programme. This will remove some of the most common everyday stains from clothes such as mud, sauces and more, in only one cycle.

The Hotpoint RDGE9643WUKN is the perfect balance between style and practicality. Freestanding and white, it will fit into any kitchen space hassle-free, while the large digital display and dial controls make it simple to set and monitor programmes. If you’re freshening up bulkier items like bedding, then the 34 cm porthole will also make loading and unloading much easier.

And, to fit your washing into your busy schedule, then why not take advantage of the Delay Start feature? This lets you set a cycle’s start time between three, six and nine hours in advance.
