Hotpoint 61DCW Electric Cooker Reviews

+ Great value for money. Has all the same features as more expensive brands plus more such as the slow cook facility. The viewing window makes it appear that you won't see much of the cooking going on inside the oven - this is an optical illusion - once you turn the oven on your can see virtutally everything! I am fussy and I love this cooker especially with the stay clean interior - no more oven cleaner and those nasty fumes ....hooray!!!!

- None:-)

+ 1. It has easy clean hobs and selfcleaning ovens. 2.Easily slots in to positon and levels quickly

- The time goes off every time the wall switch is turned off, could do with battery back up. Also flashing timer is annouying, you have to reset it every time to get rid of the flashing.

+ the main oven and hobs heat very quickly.

- ceranic hob is difficult to control and a knightmare to clean.
i still havent managed to use the top oven / grill with out burning everything.

+ Very smart, easy to use, efficient, hotplate heats up quickly. Timer times to within 10 seconds. Easy to clean, You get a lot of oven for your money. I'm really pleased with it, and would recommend it.

- The timer isn't as straightforward as it could be and it doesn't stop beeping after 2 minutes, you have to switch it off every time, but these are very minor irritations.

+ Good appearance cleans up well,ovens good.

- This is my second cooker in three weeks.First cooker had fault with appliance operating knobs now trhis cookers clock is faulty and will be seen by engineer on Monday.

+ all good other than the postion of the hotplate light.

- It only has one hotplate light and this is on the front controls. It was easier with my last cooker because it had the hotplate light on the ceramic hob and there was 4 so you knew which plate was still hot. My son went to clean it not realising the hob was still hot as i had turned it off, with my old hob you would see the light straight away and know it was still cooling down.

+ Different hob heat settings
Easy to clean
Like the way the lights stay on to warn than cooker may still be hot
Deceptively nice size - managed christmas dinner for 5 adults and three children no problems

- Having the grill pan handle attached all the time - awkward to close the top oven/grill and pain if need to wash in dishwasher. Handle goes rusty if gets washed in dishwasher.

+ overhall its a good cooker

- the onley points you could inprove on is the hob hot light could do with being on the top and the controle
knobs you seem to have to turn the on the
opposite way to most other cookers to what ive had before so when you turn a plate on you tend to put it on max first instead of the lowest setting takes some getting used to

+ Easy to use

- Oven seems a bit slow to heat up fully

+ Quiet, Clean, attractive
