About Hotpoint
Hotpoint is a major British appliance brand that Whirlpool acquired in Europe with Indesit in 2014. The name is used by different companies in different regions, a legacy of the original business being split between British and American owners. In North America the Hotpoint name belongs to a separate business, so the two have no common ownership.
