It's a choice between these two machines.

1. Hotpoint

1. Bosch

Hotpoint I know are considered inferior to Bosch, but it does much more!

Honestly i'd go with the simplest one possible
Less to go wrong

Bosch. Get cheapest of best make you can afford

I would go with the Hotpoint simply because it has the bigger wash load.

Bad experiences with hotpoints. At risk of sounding old (oh dear) they don't make em like they used to. Had a hotpint for many many years...when it broke finally I upgraded to the aquarius and it was practically rebuilt evrything went wrong it was eventually replaced and guess what the same happend again ended up just getting rid. Would not reccommend hotpoint however that was a few years ago now maybe they've turned over a new leaf though would say go with the bosch

the customer reviews on the Bosch say it has an annoying beep at the end of the cycle

I have bosch its crap sorry thats not very helpfull is it
the quick wash isnt quick and it makes a row

We've got a Bosch - it's 6 years old now and going strong. V quiet..and on our model you can turn off the 'irritating beeeeep'.
Would def recommend.

I'd go for the Bosch.

Bosch

i've had both makes - older models obviously. both were fab, so you're quids in

Bosch - but it does have an anoying beep. The instructions reackon you can turn it off but I haven't worked out how yet! Keep meaning to phone customer helpline about it

Doesn't matter too much to me as it is in a utility shed in the garden but it must annoy the neighbours

The customer reviews on both give 9/10. It seems MN is more in favour of the Bosch.

I want a timer. Just because I do.
