Exactly. We had a Hoptpoint that lasted nearlyu 20 years.

The replacement knackered its bearings in just over a year (P+L warranty
of 1 year). Parts warranty (3 years I think) was useless given the labour
costs.

Fixed price repair for £98.

It started to fail again a year later. WE gave it away (with warnings)
and bought a Bosch.
