Don't waste your money on Hotpoint junk that will breakdown and end in the landfill within a few years.

We purchased a Hotpoint in January 2015. 8 months after it broke down, it took 3 weeks and 5 visits to get fixed and tonight it has broken down again with the exact same error code. Avoid them, along with Creda and Indesit. They're all made with the same cheap and unreliable components.

Surprised people still buy hotpoint/indesit/whirlpool with the amount of houses they have burned down. This company should be banned from selling in the UK.

If you want a cheap machine with reasonable quality you can't beat BEKO.

For £200 delivered if it lasts four years of being used four or five times a week, I can cope with buying something nice and new and shiny by that point.
I should add that I bought a similar machine from Currys in Dec 2014 and we've had no issues since.

That's a joke surely? Beko are the lowest tier quality wise - new kid on the block.
I've had 2 Hotpoint washers over the years - one lasted 10 before the seal broke and rather than get it fixed I got a new one in graphite to match the kitchen. 8 years later going strong no issues at all.

Totally Agree, Hotpoint have gone downhill, wouldn't touch them, my friends hotpoint broke after 3 years, his bearings went, Engineer said loads of call outs on hotpoints, not Reliable anymore, as others have said if you use everyday will go faulty after a few years, Beko is better Value for the Money.

Possibly, but the lack of customer care is shocking. If you google the " This Morning" campaign you will see how many house fires have been caused by this issue. It is only a matter of time before serious injury or worse happens.

I am replacing a 4 1/2 year old Bosch which cost twice as much. I thought when I bought it they were the dogs b's but as well as the grey seal going black it's been a noisy/smelly piece of crud to be honest.
If this Hotpoint only lasts as long then I'll be happy!
Besford to chegz60
10 Apr 161#31
Whereas my £220 Bosch is nearly 8 years old and as good as the day we bought it.
A sample of one means very little, either way. If you follow the surveys with decent sample sizes you'll find that Hotpoint are consistently very poor whereas Bosch and BEKO are mid table. Yes, Miele are excellent but when you look at their prices you wonder if they are actually good value.
Besford
10 Apr 161#30
Regularly on here for this sort of price. Wasn't pointless since it balanced my statement (based on many surveys) that Hotpoint are not good but BEKO are.

Currently indesit, hotpoint and whirlpool machines are at the centre of various recalls due to poor designs and safety in their products, these are causing a great deal of house fires. If you care about your house, your neighbours or your family/pets you'll pay a few more pounds for a better brand, sure it'll cost a little more but it safer!
My mum's beko fridge (in sept) in the middle of the night burst into flames destroying her kitchen and some of the lounge, she was lucky to escape with her life. Cheaper products are often poorer quality and for something that needs to be left on, plugged in or left running all the time and maybe when you aren't home or at night you don't want to take any risks.

Got an LG Direct Drive still going strong, bought in 2006, used regularly every week and no problems whatsoever.
Worth a look I reckon if you're in the market for a machine.
By the way, not selling the direct drive aspect as I know that's been called into question before but it's been a most reliable machine and very quiet.

The incidents outlined has been identified as a technical issue with a very small percentage of washing machine production during periods of 2007 to 2009 could be affected. On becoming aware of the potential issue it was risk assessed under General Product Safety Regulations and was classified as ‘Very Low’ risk therefore it was concluded that no direct consumer notification was required.
We take consumer concerns very seriously, through our ongoing and continual monitoring of all our products in the market place we identified a further improvement to reduce the risk to ‘Extremely low’.
We would also like to inform consumers that this problem does not affect any Indesit or Hotpoint model on sale today.

Seems they need to sack the designers and engineers across this range of brands, I'm sure the poor design/engineering carries over across all appliances in their portfolio.

We bought matching Hotpoint under counter fridge / freezer / washing machine / tumble dryer, when we bought our first house 12 years ago, all still working as good as the day they was delivered. I wouldn't hesitate at buying Hotpoint again when any of our current appliances eventually fail.

Will never buy Hotpoint again. Had 2 ultimas in a row. Thought the first one was just a bad one had it fixed about 8 times. The second one needed parts after a week. Had to buy domestic and general for cover cos it breaks that often. That's is the washer dryer one, washing machines on their own might be better but not risking it. Will try Samsung next I think

I'm not defending Hotpoint on how they handled this mess but This Morning made a big thing out of it as it's their job to make stories as shocking as possible. We had one of the affected models and were not happy with the wait to get it fixed. They came two weeks ago and commented on how clean our one was. My wife regularly cleans it AS PER THE INSTRUCTIONS, the engineers said most they have been to are never cleaned and are the ones at risk.

Sometimes its a matter of luck when two people can buy the same machine and one works brilliantly and the other is a rotten egg, that's even from the same production batch and identical usage.
All machines are manufactured within tolerances, so perhaps the unlucky guy gets one that is on the edge of being rejected at manufacture but makes the grade, overtime these little tolerances build up and you get a rotten machine.
What defines a quality machine is one that is engineered appropriately, uses quality parts and is able to be fixed easily. You could engineer a brilliant machine with great parts but be unable to repair it within a reasonable cost.
This downward trend on white goods is neither good for the environment, customers, workers etc the only real beneficiaries are the finance men asking managers to sustain sales increases, profits etc so that the shareprice remains steady.

I don't think I'm the one that needs perspective. The zafira fires are down to an issue with a bad vehicle design (parts actually), would I buy a different Vauxhall yes of course. Hotpoint have had have a whole range of models causing fires, this therefore isn't an isolated issue and therefore the brand should be avoided. If you don't care then go fill your house with this rubbish, but talk to any firefighters and this and the brands above are responsible for an ever increasing number of fires.
