I bought one of these for the obvious convenience of having two appliances in one, straight away I noticed a horrible smell of oil (which transferred onto my laundry) when using the tumble dryer cycle. I called the engineer out but he just said it was because it was new. I persisted with it for a while but the smell continued and I got nowhere with hotpoint so I bought a separate tumble dryer.
Now five years on and I've never had a problem with the washer part of the appliance except for the door seal which has just gone and I have a choice of paying £100 for a new one to be fitted or £250 for a new washing machine (not washer/dryer).
My new washing machine is scheduled for delivery on Tuesday.
