If funds allow get anyone of the following Siemens, BOSCH, Mile and you won't go far wrong excellent build quality if they do go wrong parts are reasonable and the machines are easy to work on
You should not discount Neff, Samsung, Smeg very good machines parts and ease of repair not quite as good but it's close
You might at a push consider Phillips, Hoover, Hotpoint built to a price point but not the worst machines on the market
It's only my opinion but I have had experienced working on these and would not buy Electrolux, Zannussi, Beko, Bendix, Inderset, Tricity if however funds only allow this range and they do make some very cheap models then look out for and avoid like the plague any that are branded but labelled exclusive to the supplier
Finally with the expectation of Siemans, BOSCH and Mele all the other makers produce various models of wildly different qualities so do your research as you said you have had a Hotpoint for many years it might be that fits your needs and it's certainly a lot cheaper but get the wrong model and it could end up costing a lot more.
