With a 9kg drum, 16 programs and our cutting-edge approach to washing and drying, even the most stubborn stains are no match for the Ultima S-Line. Our Ready to Wear cycle provides an effective wash and dry cycle in just 45 minutes, whilst the Fast Wash cycle offers you another option to quickly get through loads. Incorporating Hotpoints innovative Direct Injection Technology, remove more than 100 stains at 20 thanks to a superior water and detergent premix injected directly into the wash. By infusing the detergent and water before it reaches your laundry, cleaning enzymes are activated faster, penetrating fibres deeper and delivering up to 60% more cleaning power, even at low temperatures. By adding a burst of steam at the end of the drying cycle, this Hotpoint Ultima washer dryer can reduce the time you spend at the ironing board. By utilising the power of steam to get between and relax the fibres of your garments, it could reduce your ironing time by up to 25%. Complementing a great array of washing options, the Ultima S-Line applies the same level of care with tumble drying as it does with washing. Through built-in sensor technology, moisture and temperature levels within the drum are monitored to prevent over drying. Dedicating a spin cycle for every fabric type, the Woolmark Platinum badge means you can tumble your woollens with confidence. For those who suffer from sensitivity to pollen, dust and pet dander, the Ultima S-Line includes an Anti-Allergy wash and rinse cycle, so effective it removes 99.9% of major allergens and has been awarded the Allergy UK Seal of Approval. Delivering variable spin speeds of up to 1600rpm, the Super Silent Motor also prevents your laundry duties from disturbing family moments as special sound insulting panels and an advanced brushless motor reduces noise levels dramatically.
