    This oven is perfect for a large family

    4/5
    This double oven is fabulous! Cooking for a family of nine takes a skill in itself, but this Hotpoint oven has made my life so much easier. The top oven can be used for grilling, solar grilling or as a convection oven, the dials take a bit of getting used to because you don't need to set a temperature for the grill as its already done for you. When grilling you need to have the door open, but as the top oven is quite high, this doesn't cause a problem when you have children constantly under your feet! The dials themselves are quite high up, and for a shorty like me, I do have to go on tiptoes to see which setting it is on. The top oven has three heights for the shelves. The bottom oven cooks all ways imaginable, it has an amazing five shelf heights, meaning I can cook enough thin pizzas for the entire family instead of doing them on rotation. The oven is so quick and efficient at cooking the food, I actually look forward to cooking dinner. Its easy to clean and looks great.

    I need to grow a couple of inches!

    I absolutely love my new oven in every way except one. It would have received five stars for every category except for the fact that I am not tall enough to read the settings. I am 5'4" and I simply cannot see the top of the dial. I have to stand at the side and try and guess when I have reached the required temperature/function. Otherwise, perfect!

    Wide variety of cooking functions but controls could be slicker

    4/5
    PROS This is a smart looking oven with a black glass finish. I like the fact that there are several different cooking types available, some of which I haven't had on previous ovens. I particularly like the "fan grilling" option which combines the main fan oven with a grill to give a rotisserie effect. As well as using this for joints of meat, it's also handy for cooking things like sausages as you can put them in the oven, close the door and they come out nice and browned without the hassle and mess of cooking them under a conventional grill. I like the metal handle which comes with the grill as it looks like it will be long lasting and easy to clean. I haven't used it yet but I'm looking forward to trying out the 'fan only' option which is meant to be good for defrosting delicate foodstuffs like cheesecakes. I think it could be handy for when you have people round to dinner and forget to defrost a pudding in time! CONS I'm not keen on the temperature control dial for the main oven which has no 'click' which makes it a bit vague when setting the temperature. The multifunction dial is also a bit clunky. It works fine but is not at slick as I would have expected it to be. (You can see both these controls demonstrated clearly in my video which accompanies this writen review).

    I can not read the dials on the oven. Once fitted the dials are at a height where it's impossible for anyone under about 5'8 to read the dials. The temperature and oven settings are on the proud dial and the top can not be seen unless you are tall. I need to use a small step to see the dial or stand side on and guess the temperature, it's totally unsatisfactory

    Spacious, efficient and feature-packed oven.

    4/5
    I've had this oven for a few weeks and I'm very happy with my choice given the price paid. I was a bit wary to change to electric after years of having a gas oven but so far the oven has performed excellently. Cooking is even across all shelves and much faster than before. I tend to only use two of the cooking functions in the main cavity (fan and fan and grill) as these suit my requirements. I will probably experiment with the other settings over time. The solar grill on the top oven is particularly good, as fast as my gas grill if not better with even browning. Only slight drawback is the dials feel a tad plastic and I'm not convinced of their longevity. I don't have the dial reading issue like others do as mine is built lower, but I can see how this could be frustrating in a standard eye level placement. Overall a great oven with lots of features and loads of room. Happy to recommend.

    Hotpoint double oven

    4/5
    Very good double oven. Installed quite easily, held in place at the front via 4 screws, so quite secure, wiring was straightforward too. The control knobs are push to pop out for use and the settings are on the sides of the knobs. Main Oven reaches temperature quickly and can be used as fan, conventional, grill etc. So quite flexible. Top oven can be used as full/half grill or a conventional oven. Controls are easy to use and the oven looks really good in our kitchen.

    We bought this oven as part of a new kitchen to replace our old range. I have to say I love the eye level oven and it's really easy to use. The oven heats well and cooks evenly. Makes me realise how awful my old oven way ! I've used the slow cooker option which was great as was the defrost fan only. Great buy
