Hotpoint What's The Difference In Machines?

[Hawaythelads]

There's a Hotpoint Aquarius WMTF 722 H and a WMTF 722U. Price difference at amazon is £33. The machines seem virtually identical, does anyone know the difference ?

The U version is much more energy efficient so will cost less to run.

The H is a 2015 model, the U is a 2021 model

Sometimes manufacturers make slightly different models for different retailers. The difference can be the finish on the top of the cabinet, or something similarly cosmetic.

The retailers like this, as it makes any price matching guarantee worthless and confuses price comparison sites.

The H is discontinued, this matters because it means it may be harder to get parts in the future.
The N is £399 with free delivery direct from Hotpoint
