 Bubblesqueak's recommendation | |
I'm afraid that I struggle to think of any as it was such a waste of £400.00.
I don't believe that it is fit for purpose - surely such an expensive item should last for more than 14 months without breaking?
Our Hotpoint fridge-freezer was noisy from day one, and just a few weeks out of twelve month warranty, it became clear that the fridge was not working and all the food was becoming warm.
We called Hotpoint who said we would have to pay for a repair, which we weren't too thrilled about as we felt that such an item was not really of merchantable quality to break at fourteen months old.
The repairman came out, took it apart and defrosted the 'frost-free' freezer with a hairdryer, replaced a circuit board, and declared it fixed.
Two days later, the fridge was still not cool and suddenly began making a huge noise - it was extremely loud and could be heard at the other end of the house.
We have called Hotpoint again to request another call-out and have to wait five days for the repairman to arrive.
This is not the first time that we have had a Hotpoint appliance break down just out of warranty and we will not be buying from them ever again.
Our personal recommendation would be that if you are thinking of buying this make and model of fridge-freezer, think again and choose something different!
