I've just replaced my hotpoint washing machine after it died (it was 12 years old) with another Hotpoint and am so far delighted with it, had it around a month now. No issues whatsoever with the previous one either, I don't think 12 yrs out of a washing machine used 4-5 times a week is too bad :smiley:

I've got matching Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine and dryer and had them 5 plus years. Don't get me wrong, we've had the odd problem but for added piece of mind we have the Hotpoint insurance in place. For a monthly premium, each time we have a problem we call Hotpoint and an engineer comes out to investigate and repair etc. I'd recommend based on my experience.

Bought one on Sunday for £239, am I right in thinking they'll refund me the difference?

Heard hot point are not what they used to be, advised to go LG, Samsung or Miele if you want reliability and quality. Spend £100-£150 more now and it will cost a lot less in repairs and last 5+ years more

Spend £150 more? If this lasts 5 years a new one was only £209, what's the point.

We had one the guarantee costs a fortune, we added the engineer to our Christmas card list he was here so often. Customer service is woeful it's never their fault even when it clearly is. For a few quid more you can get a good brand we got a replacement LG and touch wood 3 years in and no engineer and the samsung ones get good reviews.
Just seen the reduced price it won't be a few quid more for the other brands but you won't need the labour warranty.

Hotpoint are just awful. Google them on the trustpilot website for some fun reading. They don't even bother answering their phone. Had to contact customer services through twitter when our new washer dryer broke down and was left with no washing machine for weeks. Never never ever again :smile:

We had a hotpoint finished in Chrome. It looked nice until it started rusting. Then it broke down after 2 years of use. So we binned it offand bought a Bosch - now this is a quality machine

I bought this Washing Machine on 23 December and it was already reduced to £239.99 so only another £30 off - wish that £30 was in my pocket rather than Currys Bank account though. Got £10 off with O2 priority though. Happy with purchase otherwise, replaced a 2 year old Beko that just stopped rotating/spinning.
