Hotpoint hasn't had much luck - wasn't it a Hotpoint kitchen appliance that ignited Grenfell Tower.

Well it is hot point!

Indeed, also they are recalling millions of tumble driers due to fire risk.

Had a colleague who cleaned his gas hob with the aerosol version, accidentally leaned on the ignite button and it bought a whole new meaning to the phrase "Cillit Bang"

Aerosols can be fun. As a kid I spent hours shooting at them with my air rifle and putting them on small bonfires.

I work less than a mile from the fire, no smell at all.
Good blaze and a lot of damage to tbe lorry trailer park

All our white goods are Hotpoint, wouldn't buy anything else, good prices and reliable.

At least these ones set fire before being sold.
