Tackle the school uniforms and P.E kits with this Hotpoint washing machine. Its 7kg drum capacity is perfect for medium-sized households, and because the Eco programme only uses the right amount of water and energy to suit each load, it’s really efficient too. Plus, if the kids have given you a load of grass-covered shorts and t-shirts, the Anti-Stain setting will add on an extra wash to get rid of tough marks. And, if you can’t resist a cosy knit during the winter, the special wool programme uses cooler temperatures and slower spin speeds to keep everything in tip-top shape and feeling beautifully soft.
