Martini, South London

+ I bought this oven to replace a 20 year old AEG model. This Hotpoint is a perfect replacement. It is easy to use and looks good. Only time will tell if I have made the right choice! The "half grill" facility is a very useful feature.

- My only issues are (1) that the grill pan mesh is chrome plated rather than stainless steel, (2) the the grill pan handle is fiddley to attach and (3) with the handle fitted the grill pan will not fit into either oven for storage.

Simon, Chelmsford , “Family cook” More like this »

+ Generally the oven performs well. The size of the large oven was important when we were researching for a new oven-There you go ladies+gents, size does matter! (especially for cooking for family and friends)

- Grill pan a bit small should be larger. There should be 3 oven shelves supplied as standard with the oven instead of two

- The only thing we're not too happy with are the grill functions. None are as good as our old cooker. They take ages to warm up.

Margaret, Guisborough , “Retired. Previous Hotpoint owner.”

+ Looks good, easy to use (apart from knobs) and clean.

- Knobs slippy and difficult to use. Still getting used to it, but oven seems slightly cooler than my last Hotpoint and therefore things take slightly longer to cook.

Sheila, Bournemouth , “Family cook” More like this »

+ It looks good and the controls are easy to operate. The floor of the oven is easy to 'get at' for cleaning. The clock is very clear to read.

- I think the fan running after the oven is switched off is an unnecessary expense and defeats my object of buying A rated appliances. The oven could cool down safely without the fan.
I find I have to allow longer cooking times to what I would expect.
The shelves are not the easiest to glide along the runners.
The inner glass door moves too much when the glass is cleaned.

Product Features

Fuel	Electric
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.
Oven Cavity	Double
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.
Finish	Multi
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. The most efficient products can now be identified by new ‘A’ and ‘A*’ ratings.

Depth in mm	600
Cool Door	No
A cool door will make sure the door does not heat up as you’re cooking. A great feature if you have small children.
Non-tip Shelves	No
Non-tip shelves enable you to pull the shelves out, rather than reaching deep into the oven to take something out. As the name suggests, when you pull the shelves out, they don’t tip forwards.
Grill Function	Yes
The grill function is useful for browning and crisping up food.
