Never had a Hotpoint Machine before and never will again

Summary

Avoid, it's a complete death trap and the fact that Hotpoint weren't up in arms when I called them (I've not had this machine removed by them yet, that's going to take a couple of weeks) makes me think it isn't the first time or the last that this will happen.

Luckily I was there when it went, had I been asleep or out this could have killed 30+ people that live in my Apartment building.

How long have you used the product?

1-3 months

What are the strengths?

Lots of features, good price point but still if it burns you to death in your sleep no amount of pro's are going to make you feel better.

What are the weaknesses?

It's noisy when running. Also very noisy as the plug bursts into flames with lots of blue sparks.
