Spin Speed: 1600rpm

One of the specs you'll need to look into when buying your new washing machine is the spin speed, shown in RPM (revolutions per minute). The faster the spin speed, the more quickly water will be removed from your clothes. The down-side to this is that more creases will occur. So it's not necessarily the case that a faster spin speed is better. A fast spin is only really used on towels or sheets - not for your every day washing. Another thing to consider when choosing the spin speed of your new machine is that a higher spin speed will put more strain on the hardware. The Hotpoint AQ113D697 machine is capable of 1600 RPM.

Wash Load: 11kg

The wash load refers to the capacity of the washing machine's drum and is a guide to the amount of washing you'll be able to do with each load. The size is always in kg and an average capacity is around the 5 - 6 kg mark. Anything over that is more suited to a larger family where there's likely to be more washing. (Although it's worth noting that it is easier to wash duvets in a larger capacity!)  There's some excellent tips on 'How Big Should The Drum Be?'  here. The AQ113D697 has a capacity of 11kg.
