OH My Goodness!
No don't do it.....I had one of these actual models. Had to have it repaired SOOOOoo often it was just daft. Coupled with Hotpoint's customer service is shocking.
Edited to add: I don't care what Curry's review's say. I convinced Hotpoint staff must leave reviews for their own products.
I have had lots of Hotpoint products fridges, dishwashers etc and they have not given me any problems and had them all for over 3 years. .Maybe you were just unlucky and had a bad machine?
