Whirlpool AKA Hotpoint = total junk.

Whirlpool stuff is quiet decent - Hotpoint - not so great … Whirpool bought Hotpoint from an Italian company and the stuff at that time was horrendous- even supposedly casing the Grenfell Tower fire

Cool, heat, dehumidify

NO. This has NO heat function as stated above. The Amazon listing is talking rubbish

I'm a bit confused by that aswell as the Amazon listings states it can heat up the room in winter and has a heating function. I assumed that was the 3rd function, but I just looked up the manual online and the manual has no mention of any heating function on this machine. (edited)

3 in 1...
air conditioning unit
dehumidifier..
and it has a "HEPA filter" which means it has a built in air purification system. (edited)

True I've had hotpoint appliances in the past and they barely lasted I wouldn't touch them again.

Di'longhi every time for me. A bit more expensive but I'll guarantee no comparison to Hotpoint

What make was your old one?

Klimatronic I think it was 8 years old and worked really well until it almost caught fire!

Not had the chance to use it yet but it definitely doesn’t have the heat function, just cool and dry. Also the footprint of the thing is massive!

Whirlpool AKA Hotpoint = total junk.

Cheers I’ve risked it, will just return if no good!

Great price thanks OP - still trying to decide between this one and the Russell Hobbs 11000BTU which costs 57 quid more. By all means it is better to get an air con in the dark cold winter (as opposed to 2 days prior to the record heatwave in summer).

Amazon basics machine much cheaper

The Amazon basics one is not an air con though

So no use of it now?

What is “3” in 1?

1. Air conditioning
2. Dehumidifier
3. ???

Amazons pricing machine appears to be on full on nutter mode. I got this 15mins ago for £151.60 and even since you posted it’s increased again to £172.60

And how you think they can sell one for so cheap? You'll spend more time and money trying to fix it than just buying a decent one.

Who’d have thought something 3.5 times more expensive might be better.

Thanks OP

This seems almost too good. 9000btu at this price?

At least you have Amazon returns to fall back on. Surely worth a punt?

Anyone know what room temp you can set this to on the controls?

Cheers OP

Does it purify the air

Interesting, might come in handy. Do you have to empty water out of it? I would be keen to find out how the outlet hose is fitted/works? If anyone knows? (edited)

Amazon basics machine much cheaper

Now £152

This not close enough. I’ll not point out the other obvious issue.

amazon.co.uk/dp/…9Y4

Anyone else received their unit as yet? If so, any views?

I've took a punt on it, hope its ok! Thanks.

Mine arrived and to confirm a previous post there is no heat function. It is just cool, fan and dehumidify.

Has anyone else measured power consumption of theirs?

I notice no matter what fan speed is the consumption doesn’t go over 800w when compressor is on. Supposedly the unit is rated at 1,100w input power so makes me think the compressor might not be going to full capacity (thus lowering cooling effect).
