I didn’t have a big oven budget, and this doesn’t have as many features as my previous oven but it’s great so far. Have used the top oven for baking cakes, they turned out really well. Just as good as main/fan oven. My previous experience of top ovens is not to bother and just use as a grill. But everything seems effective, top oven, grill and main. Really quiet too.

Good oven does what it says. Get hot very quickly. Grill pan is a bit small but thats not major.

We have replaced a Hotpoint built in double oven which has given stalworth service for 16 years. With another Hotpoint oven nigh on the same in appearance.The oven was installed fine, we let the two cavity's heat up initially to eradicate the newness smell. Next day went to properly use main oven the light would not come on, but oven worked. To change the bulb when oven cooled was the obvious answer. removed wire shelves but could not get a good purchase on the outer cover to the bulb.So as with my old oven was basically the same configuration decided to remove the door to ease access.Big mistake the arms on the hinge which are employed to hold the hinge in place while the door is removed from main body of the oven,would not budge. finally with some considerable force managed to dislodge and engage to allow the door to be removed.fixed the new bulb as the outer fitting was removed more easily with better access.The door was returned then the problem with getting it into the correct position to close was encountered, I feel the new oven has not got the same feel or quality in build as our previous oven and would not buy it again.

Have only had it a short time I am really impressed with this product and it's so quiet.

This has got to be the worst oven we have ever bought. The outside gets so hot you can hardly press the timer or control knobs. It emits hot steam out of the bottom and the top which has totally ruined our kitchen cabinet. We have to place a tea towel over the top of the cupboard door directly underneath the oven to protect it from any further damage. The cupboard doors are de-laminating due to the heat. It takes quite a long time to heat up to temperature and you have to have the temperature set higher than a normal fan oven. It's one good point is that it is very quiet.

For my new kitchen and bought a hob that goes with it. Easy to install. Very simple to use instructions are straightforward couldn’t ask for anything more.

Did lots of research across lots of makes and models on different web sites and settled on this Hotpoint oven. It doesn't have some of the features of some of the more expensive ovens, but its a really stylish oven with all of the features i use. Great quality and value. Feels very solid and really well made and cooks beautifully.

overall good oven , additional features, dislike the moisture that drips out the bottom of the oven in to the drip tray but can leak down
