Dont buy hotpoint

Old washing machine was a creda, had it 15 years and used daily, replaced motor brushes and a door seal in that time at a cost of £25.
Hotpoint seemed a good machine, bought to match the rest of our silver future range of appliances( fridge freezer,small freezer and oven )bought british to support local jobs, worst machine we have had, cost over £350 but after the first year give nothing but trouble, stopping mid cycle, pumping fault, no final spin and then bearings went in drum, free 5 year parts warranty, bearings can't be replaced so needs a new drum £120.
Hotpoint will supply you a drum for free but will charge you £150 for call out and fitting, new machines reduced in argos to £189 ,what would you do...hotpoint fridge freezer whine's, smaller freezer constantly freezing up and oven fan motor rattles, think i will buy german (bosch) or whirpool(whirpool condensor tumble dryer 17 years old and going strong £20 for heating element in its lifetime )...hotpoint...never again
