eva, isle of man Family cook

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: nice looking , easy to install, easy to clean
Bad points:: only one fault is the dials are hard to read as the numbers are on the outside of the dial so you would need to be very tall to look down at the dials to see them clearly

Bryony, Gloucestershire Family cook

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Bought this product as was a similar model to my previous oven bought 20 years ago which I was very happy with.
Looks good and is easy to use.
Bad points:: Temperature dials are hard to read as need to stand on tip toe to see to set the temperature and I am 5.7foot.
Grill is not fantastically efficient, doesn't seem to get as hot as my previous grill.

Confirmed purchaser Family cook

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Heats quickly and cooks evenly. Easy to clean and looks stylish.
Bad points:: Control panel needs to be at eye-level or below, or it would be impossible to see the numbers which are actually on the dials.

T, Southampton Family cook

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Spacious, doors work smoothly, knobs click in leaving a smooth neat appearance, unlike most similar units where they stick out & look ugly 'cos they're plastic. Semi-mirror glass doors look great though you do have to rub them with glass cleaner now & again.
Both ovens work well as expected; heat-up is much faster than our old oven
Bad points:: Not many bad points. All the ovens we saw seem to have naff plastic knobs which let them down, but on this model they retract & become unobtrusive. But you have to turn them to OFF first, which make sense but thy're a bit stiff to turn to OFF

Product Features

Construction	Built-in
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Fuel	Electric
Oven cavity	Double

Main heating type	Convection or conventional
Conventional ovens heat from the bottom so the top of the oven will be slightly hotter than the bottom. This is useful when you’re cooking lots of different dishes at a time. However, they do take a little longer than fan ovens to heat up. Convection (or fan) ovens circulate the air so that you get an even temperature throughout the oven. They are quicker to heat up which means they save on energy and time. Multifunction (convection or conventional) ovens give you the flexibility to use different methods of cooking. They usually have both fan and conventional settings as well as pizza settings that will only cook from the bottom, giving you a crispy pizza, or top-only cooking that is very useful for browning.
Secondary heating type	Conventional
Extra functions	Cool door

Extra functions	Display

Extra functions	Clock

Type of self cleaning	Catalytic
Self-cleaning ovens can come with catalytic liners or pyrolytic programmes. Calalytic liners are the bumpy surfaces which line the inside walls of the oven. They absorb the food and grease and break it down so that the oven is easier to clean. Pyrolytic programmes run for a couple of hours and burn off all the grime in your oven at temperatures up to 500°C. As it gets so hot, the oven door usually locks so that all you need to do is sweep up the ash that’s left over at the end.
Energy efficiency	A
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient.
Height in cm	88.7
The distance from the very top of the product to the very bottom.
Depth in cm	57.7

Width in cm	59.7

Manufacturer's Description

This smart, energy-efficient double oven from Hotpoint gives you space and flexibility to tackle a wide range of cooking tasks. The elegant control panel is clear and user-friendly and features an LED clock and retractable controls.

The main oven is fan-assisted, which means faster heating up, lower cooking temperatures and thorough, even cooking. The upper oven is a combined conventional oven/variable grill, which is suitable for closed-door grilling. Accessories include a roasting tin and a grill pan.

Both ovens are fully programmable and have internal lighting and catalytic liners that help keep the interiors clean. The triple-glazed windows in the doors give excellent insulation and allow for easy viewing of the contents.
