Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Unreliable

...I have had 2 Hotpoint washing machines and have found both of them adequate washers but break down frequently. Hotpoint seems to be making a lot of money from service and spare parts. Then when the machines break down beyond repair they tempt you into buying a new Hotpoint rather than a more reliable make by offering a replacement at a very low cost.

Advantages: Looks good, well laid out, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Has the life expectancy of a Mayfly. Dryer not very efficient.

...I bought this machine just over 2 years ago and it has been nothing but trouble. coupled with a very unhelpful and unsympathetic service from Hotpoint themselves. The unit broke 4 times in the first year, always the dryer at fault. the 5th time faulty was just 2 weeks after the warranty expired. Hotpoint didn't care it was the same fault and told me I had to pay £90 pounds to have their engineer fit a part under their 5-year warranty. some warranty! after much arguing they sent an engineer who wrote the machine off! they replaced it after much arguing. now faulty again, just outside warranty again. they have dug heels in and won't help unless i pay. Never buying Hotpoint products ever again. Please, Please avoid.... Read review
