The Italian brand belongs to the largest European concern Merloni, which began its history back in 1930. It was later renamed Indesit Company. Successful business allowed the concern to expand its geography over time and acquire the popular Italian brand Indesit and the British Hotpoint. By the early 2000s, the Russian Stinol joined the group. Over several decades of its activity, the company has earned a reputation as a conscientious manufacturer, and the brand has become one of the most popular in the world.

The brand's product line is represented by a variety of models in terms of technical parameters, set of functions, and price range.

All models can be classified according to the following criteria:

• Method of loading laundry.
  The predominant share of machines are frontal, equipped with most of the company’s new technologies. Vertical models are distinguished by small width parameters, more convenient loading, and the ability to add laundry during the washing process for any model.
• Capacity.
  Ranges from 5 kg to 11 kg.
• Engine's type.
  Cars with classic commutator motors with brushes. With more functional inverter motors, more expensive.

We present the rating of Hotpoint-Ariston washing machines 2021. The best 7 models that were selected by our experts based on user reviews and ratings.

Which Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine is better to choose?

The brand's range of machines includes a variety of types of units. To make the right choice of model, it is necessary to compare its capabilities with the upcoming operating conditions:

• Decide on the type of download. Front-facing models look more interesting and can hold up to 11 kg of laundry. But you need to consider whether there will be enough space for opening the door and a comfortable loading process. Vertical ones in this regard are more compact, have a small width and the lid is on top.
• Among the brand's front-facing machines there is a large selection of models with a compact depth of up to 45 cm. In our selection these are positions 2, 3, 5, 6, 7.
• Depending on the number of family members, the permissible load of laundry is selected. For a family of 4 people or less, a capacity of 5-6 kg is sufficient (positions 4, 6, 7). For a larger number of people, models weighing 7 or more kg (1, 2, 3, 5) are optimal.
• Models with a commutator type motor are cheaper, but have a shorter service life and are louder. Inverter machines are more reliable, work quieter, are more gentle on fabrics, but are more expensive.
• The spin speed indicator affects the amount of moisture that remains in the laundry. All models in the selection are distinguished by efficient spinning, from 1000 rpm and above.
• For those who wash a lot and often, it is worth considering the efficiency of the machine: energy and water consumption indicators. All presented devices have energy efficiency of at least class A.
• Pay attention to the list of basic and additional functions of the machine. A characteristic feature of Hotpoint-Ariston is that even economy class models have a good range of options.
• If you have a lot of items to wash delicately or deal with stains, you can give advantages to models with Digital Motion technology. If you want to wash whites and colors together, you need the Direct Injection feature.
• The most functional model in the No. 1 rating, with drying, steaming and a large selection of washing options.
