Advantages: Matches my other appliances, hugh fridge capacity.
Disadvantages: door handle plastic and brakes easy.

...I bought my hotpoint fridge in dec 07 as my other hotpoint decided to turn itself from a fridge into a freezer, so far it's excellent. can't belive how much it holds. It has 4 removable and easy to clean toughened glass shelves, bottle rack which can hold 5 bottles (excellent for my wine stash), easy to use temperature control dial at the front, a hugh fruit and vegetable drawer at the bottom with a separate meat compartment to store the meat in so it is not in contact with fresh things, 5 shelves in the door which 3 are removable so you can change the position of them, 1 with a lidded tray so you can store eggs which is removable and 1 at the bottom to store more bottles eg milk and big bottles. It has an automatic defrosting function. Overall so far i have had to replace the door handle which is plastic, due to the fact that my kids... Read review

...a fantastic display of fridges and freezers which all the relevant information for any customer to make a well informed choice. We quickly narrowed it down to a few models and eventually decided on the Hotpoint FF175BP Which was well within out budget of £400, it was also A rated and was in white in colour. The cost when we bough this in December 2007 was £299.95 and that included free delivery.

...Okay, let's get the boring specs out of the way first, then we'll get to the nitty gritty of what it's like to use. Well, it's a washing machine, it washes clothes. Most do (not my old one though, that died a month ago, or you wouldn't be reading this now). The Hotpoint WF840G is one of their Ultima range and comes in three colour schemes, has a new-fangled-style LCD display panel, can wash a load of up to 6kg, has many different programmes depending on what you're washing and how grubby it is and gives you a choice of spin speeds from no spin to 1400rpm and a choice of wash temeperatures from 25 degrees to 95 degrees. The price I paid was £399.99 at the Co-Op, but a quick search around various websites reveals that prices vary from £365.36 online and £499.95 in stores such as Currys. It is hailed as being Super Silent... Read review

...This year everything seems to be breaking down, this time it was the turn of the fridge. Panic immediately set in, where were we going to get a fridge at very short notice, it was a warm Saturday night and it was full from the ritual Saturday morning shop. I am sure all electrical appliances sit there day after day just waiting for the worst possible moment to breakdown. I grabbed my Littlewoods catalogue as I knew they had a "3-day delivery" if you were prepared to pay an extra charge of £20, plus the fact that their order department was open seven days a week. There were only three larder fridges to choose from. A Swan at £99.99, Hotpoint at £179.99 and Hinari at £134.99. I had hoped to buy another Electrolux as it had served us well over quite a few years. Never mind we were desparate. All three larder fridges... Read review

Advantages: Reasonably good until it broke after 4 months
Disadvantages: Unrelilable, awful customer services from Hotpoint

...he'd gone, I started a wash and behold, the same fault still there. I called Comet who said because Hotpoint had replaced a part it was their responsbibility, so I called Hotpoint who said it was down to Comet. I've just spent over an hour trying to get them to decide who's problem it is, being bouced backwards and forwards between the two companies. My extended warranty is worthless, and I now have a piece of scrap metal in my kitchen with nobody taking responsibility for it. I've asked for Hotpoint to call me back after they have spoken to Comet and worked out who will sort out this problem. If I don't hear anything, I'm going to take it back to the Comet store and leave it there if I have to. You would have thought it would be a straight-forward case of "fix or replace" after just over 4 months. Latest Update... Read review

...About 18 months ago our second hand washer finally gave up and died - poor thing ,probably exhausted. We decided to get a Hotpoint from a local shop.Not my first choice ,I didn't really like Hotpoint. - For the energy efficency concious among us it is rated A for efficiency and washing performance. - Spin drying is rated B, but I wouldn't have known if I hadn't checked. - Capacity 5.5kg cotton , the drum is big. - Uses 58 litres water on a 60 degrees ,cotton wash. - The machine is available in white ,siver, and linen (cream to you and me !) The dials on the front are well set out and easy to use. Five buttons in a row:- 1. Time saver - saves up to a third on the normal programme time.(not available with Quickwash , or any rise or spin only settings.) 2. Super rinse -does what it says really. Uses more water to make sure... Read review

...Choosing the Dishwasher *************************** When we decided to buy a dishwater, we knew nothing at all about the difference in the bewildering choice of models. We went to every single store in our area looking at the washers they had on display, which to be honest just made us more confused. So we asked friends and family who had dishwashers already, which brands they had and what they thought of them. One name that popped up more than the others was Hotpoint, so that was it, we would buy a Hotpoint, now which model? This proved much easier because basically we just went by price and colour, so we ended up getting the FDW70. Getting it up & Running ************************* When we got it delivered, a plumber friend of mine came round and connected it up for us, which to be honest wasn't that difficult. It just...

...A few months ago my Hotpoint tumble dryer broke, I was gutted as this matched my washing machine,(us ladies like everything to match), and i cannot live without a tumble drier. Anyway I have always trusted Hotpoint appliances and have never had any problems with them apart from naturally wear and tear, especially with my kids I am forever washing and drying. I went along to my local comet store and straight away spotted the Hotpoint VTD00, it was nothing too fancy, cheap enough and was almost like the one I had before, so I was pleased to say the least. MAKE AND MODEL This tumble dryer is manufactured by Hotpoint and the model number is VTD00. It comes in 3 different colours, these are white, graphite and sandstone. APPEARANCE I chose the white tumble drier. On the front it has a cool/warm setting button, a list... Read review

... Hotpoint's AQGD169S The Workings: Yet another belt buckle in the drum of washing machine production from Hotpoint the AQGD169S is as reliable as it is stylish. With an impressive 8kg (17.6 lbs) load size this machine can cope with just about any household material you throw in it - and on that note Hotpoint took the liberty of installing a duvet cycle as well as a bed and bath cycle. Not only this but the AQGD169S also operates with a super silent wash (perfect if you do all your washing during the night like me) due to its inbuilt acoustic soundproofing. To make things even more enjoyable Hotpoint have spared no expense in producing an extremely ergonomic design, with 4 personalised memory buttons (making one button operation a reality). To add to its already modern look the AQGD169S even has an LCD control panel... Read review

...Why I chose Hotpoint... I bought a Hotpoint Fridge Freezer in 2000 purely for that fact that I liked the look of it. It was also made in Great Britain and was a very well known make that my parents trusted and had never had problems with. Product A 50/50 split fridge on top of freezer, fairly economical white fridge freezer with nice curves and sturdy appearance which blended in to my kitchen pleasingly. Advantages It worked quietly, It had ample storage space (draws and shelving), and looked to be of sound quality as nothing looked easily breakable. Disadvantages By 2002 it had needed repairs. I had the freezer door replaced 3 times as the seals on the hinge side had become trapped and bent in the door causing it to freeze up and allowing the freezer to work overtime. Warranty covers parts on all Hotpoints up to 6yrs old... Read review
