We purchased the Hotpoint Dryer a month after we moved into our new home. We made a smart decision to buy this dryer because it works just as good as the more expensive brands. We didn’t need all the fancy doohickeys, bells and whistles; just dry clothes.
I've had this machine for little over three months and it hasn't caught on fire while successfully drying my clothes so i guess this wasn't a bad purchase. I certainly don't regret considering the alternative is to air dry or worse going to a laundromat. But in all seriousness I would recommend this machine.
