General Comments

I purchased this tumble dryer about 2 years ago and it has been a nightmare since the day it was delivered. The temperature in the machine is haywire and I had 2 engineers visits to it within the first few months (the first in the first week I had it). He assured me the machine was in perfect working order - so I took him at his word - after all .... he is the expert. There is a burning smell which comes from my cotton bedsheets and I am dubious as to what to dry in it for fear of ruining clothes because of the intense heat. When I bring my sheets out of the dryer they are too hot to handle straight away. PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS ON LOW HEAT SETTING!!!!

The door handle broke off recently and today I had a new door fitted - switched it on tonight (I have not used it for a few weeks) and black smoke started billowing from inside the machine. Luckily I managed to switch the machine off at the mains before I had to call the Fire Brigade. My last tumble dryer was a Hotpoint and lasted 15 years, so I thought that buying another Hotpoint from a reputable supplier would be a good decision. HOW WRONG I WAS! I will never buy another Hotpoint product again as I would be too scared to trust this machine unless I stay in the kitchen when it is on.

I bought this online from a reputable electrical high street store - never again, as I don't think you get the same level of cutomer aftersales assistance. I also think that somewhere along the line Hotpoint has lost it's good name - with me anyway!
