Nah quite the opposite, same experience as the other guy, looking at washing machines in Italy and Australia, they used to have hot and cold intake but moving to cold only and leaving it to the appliance to heat up a small amount of water.

My newish washing machine is a bosch, the model is prolly from 5 years ago though i bought it more recently, and it's got cold water intake only (unliken the ancient LG that was sold to someone who needed a cheap one)
