Alright if you need a new oven...
3/5
I titled my review "alright if you need a new oven" because it is just that. The build quality is quite poor, but not bad enough to warrant returning it. We needed a new oven desperately because our old one died, so we got this as a quick, cheap replacement. Our old oven was a Hotpoint as well, and it was MUCH better quality. For example, the oven knobs are very cheaply made, and don't line up properly with the off position on the main oven, the grill pan and handle are appalling quality, the pan is made of a very thin, low quality steel, and the handle is just made from the same wire that the oven racks are made from. We threw it straight in the bin and we're still using our old one, and for the first 5 uses, there was an AWFUL smell of burning coming from the top oven, which I think has passed now. Overall, if you're saving for an upgraded oven, save a little bit longer and get something better, if you're a landlord renovating a kitchen, it's fine, and if you need a new oven quickly, buying through AO especially is ideal because of their speedy delivery.
