Funny you should mention that, cos following the grovelling phone call we received from a guy called Russell at Hotpoint on 3rd March 2016 assuring us that all would be resolved with our faulty dryer, by the end of March 2016 absolutely nothing has happened 

The dryer is still functioning, the condenser, still being regularly cleaned and the rest of the appliance is also kept spotless, so for now I'm not expecting any action from Hotpoint.

Oh BTW Hotpoint your service is  and I've got a message for ya all

I've had no response from Hotpoint since I filled in the online reporting form.

We no longer buy Hotpoint goods, or any made under other names by them since a problem arose with a six - month old freezer last year and the response from them was worse than hopeless. (The local Euronics dealer that I buy from spoke to them independently and said that he had never heard of such appalling treatment and would take it up at the next regional meeting).

From our perspective all turned out well, as the supplier removed parts from a unit on display to fit to ours, however I said that in future Hotpoint would have no business from us and I mean it.

Until that time we had a washing machine, freezer, fridge and tumble drier made by them, all less than two years old. We have since replaced all but the freezer with quality items, something that seems not to feature in Hotpoint products of late.

Same here, not a word. No more Hotpoint items in my house, ever.

I agree


I reckon this fiasco will prompt other customers to do just the same, and that will cost Hotpoint  a great deal of business, like you Flatfour, I too will not be buying their products again

Interesting to note that their letterhead also names Creda and Indesit, I wonder if those brands are equally as reliable

Same stuff, different badges.

I must be one of the lucky ones. Condenser drier was replaced (for £99 inc delivery and removal of old one) a couple of weeks ago. The alternative was a repair in September sometime (I think it was September...)

How is my old baby doing Richard?

Enjoying the miles on her yet?

[sidneyworm]

Hi Debs, loving every minute on her, last weekend when we finally got a bit more sun went over the Woodhead Pass to Manchester which is a bikers perfect ride, through the twisty roads of the moors and tiny villages - loads of bikers on the road too, she rode like a dream.  Very comfortable compared with my ZZR1100, seems much lighter, less wind with the screen, just the back brake seems as though its useless even though I've had it on a rolling road and its working to MOT standard, the back brake on my 1965 Triumph even though its a drum stops better than the GTR.  Just have to get used to it as the ZZR1100 back brake was spot on.  Got a question for you - did you have lights in the panniers wired up?  We can see the wires inside the panniers but the connectors don't go anywhere?  Just in the process of fitting the sat nav I got from OC ready for a european trip next year as this years holidays are already sorted.  Off next week to Dijon Prenois to watch MotoLegende Coup de moto at the circuit.  Sadly not going on bike as I've got to take a load of tools to our house in France, plus the weather forecast is awful! but definitely intend to make a visit to France on her this year.  When you went touring could you get over 250 mile from a tank full?  Just got a tyre from Viper - dont' need it yet but it was a bargain.  I'm looking after her - locked up tight and under a cover every night.
