    Should it ?

    Seems the common trick of pricing high then knocking the price down to think you got a bargain.it is cheaper than elsewhere by £18 but not the huge saving they are making out.

  • Hotpoint are particularly renowned for failing drum bearings, mine only lasted 18 months. Google it, you'll find how common it is.
    Also don't mistakengly think you're buying british, hotpoint moved there manufacturing abroad earlier this year.
    Next year we'll be millionaires!

    John Lewis are selling the 1200rpm version @ the same price, free delivery with an additional free 2 year warranty, maybe there is also a code out there for a further discount?
