From a newbie to another newbie
Welcome Mieleboy!
I guess something like £399 must be double that value today. We've got quite a few members with encounters with this machine!
I am surprised that Hotpoint were also part of the "Washer dryer fires" facade. I thought it was only the lower brands like (Yes this will cause people to disagree) Candy, Servis, Kelvinator probably even Ariston. But I guess this machine had teething problems as it was the first. I would be even more shocked if Zanussi had fires as they'd been making washer dryers for a while by this time (First one was WD2290 made in 1980).
I do remember when these washer dryers were on Watchdog in 1993 though, when they kept shredding clothes during the drying cycle. I guess we had the problem too, as when we did move we opted for a 95 something with 800rpm and two buttons, but in the same gorgeous almond colour as the 9924/34 we used before we had our own house. I loved that colour, but ironically, I don't like eating almonds!!!
