good price but make sure you pay for the added labour warranty as you will need it, how a once UK brand has been distroyed :disappointed:

I have a Hotpoint machine, about 12 years old and UK built. Still going strong, wouldn't buy another one though as they seem to have shipped everything abroad and not built to last.

It's the way they handled the situation that ruined them. I'd spend a bit more to get something like Hisense for £299 from AO

I bought this at Xmas for a couple of quid more and so far am very happy with it.

sadly it goes long before the dryer mess, back to the days indesit bought them, you have to feel a little for poor whirlpool who bought them for top dollar just before the dryer problems came out but by then the brand was already dying and really should be put out of its misery now

IMO even Turkish made Beko's ie.. 'lower end' appliance tend to last longer than the hotpoints.
I think the lower end appliances have come a long way over the years and the quality is much better than years and years ago. The gap is closing.
Budget Daewoo fridge = 5 years old not a single problem.
Budget Beko washing machine = 7 years old not a single problem.
Budget russell hobbs dryer = 3 years not a single problem.
Budget Tricity bendix cooker = 15 years old not a single problem (other than heating element which is normal).

Rubbish machine has spinning speed of 1400 but clothes are coming out wet,the wash cycle for a cotton wash is nearly 3 hrs,and don't forget to buy the extended warranty you'll need it after a year.
