This oven has a design flaw....it leaks!! It comes with a drip tray which really should have raised alarm bells when we unboxed it. The drip tray overflows and spills into the drawers in the housing unit below. Hotpoint engineer has been out and blamed the seals, which he replaced but this hasn't helped. The top oven door doesn't even close against the seal, you can see straight into the cavity. When I pointed this out to the engineer he said that I was looking into the glass cavity not the oven cavity, and poked the seal in to the gap with his finger! We unscrewed it from the housing unit and pulled it forwards to stop it damaging our new kitchen units and it will filled the bottom of a baking tray on the floor whilst cooking roasted veg. Very frustrated with Hotpoint!!

Really pleased with this oven very quiet and easy to use.

Brilliant oven well designed and good quality build. Plenty of space inside the oven. I did read other reviews before we brought this oven and indeed the dials are difficult to read if the oven is higher up. Because the temperature and symbols are on the inside of the dials as they push out.

A very handsome oven. Nicely put together and finely finished with a good attention to detail. Good layout of the interior and the main oven has a couple of detachable rails which accommodate the meat pan provided. This means that you can simply pull the pan and it's hot contents out of the oven and then lift it off the rails or check in situe. Avoiding having to reach into the hot interior. Interior lighting is good. The only annoying design is the markings are printed on the actual retractable knobs and are quite difficult to read. Worse for people who may not be as tall as myself. The instructions are also well written and full of useful cooking hints and advice. Looks good when installed and is a replacement for another Hotpoint oven,m which served us well for nearly 10 years. Hopefully this will be as good.

I purchased this oven to replace my Double convection Oven which I have had for 18Yrs, so I was nervous when choosing a new one. I spent along time reviewing various ovens before making my choice. I am very happy with my new oven. It looks good and I love the controls that push in when not in use, so I'm hoping the numbers wont wear off (. My old ovens control knobs were on show, and the letters had worn away) I use the top oven most days. Which I have found very good .Its very quite and cooks very even. The top grill, takes a while to heat up, and I am not to keen on the exposed element, I had a couple of mishaps when I first started to use the grill, all the ovens I have had in the past had the elements enclosed. The full oven I use when I cook a family roast at the weekends. The convection oven, I have found needs to be on a higher setting than stated. The various cooking cycles are very good. The fitting was very straight forward. The oven is easy to clean, just a wipe with hot soapy water on top bottom and shelves, love the self cleaning liners.

We purchased this model because it is an updated version of our previous double oven which we loved. This cooker has some updated features but mostly the same apart from the control knobs. The temperatures/functions are printed around the pop-out knobs and not on the oven fascia, making selection extremely tricky unless you are 6 feet + tall or have a step ladder handy. Also, the temperature knob is not very precise i.e. 120-150-180-220 with no increments in-between. Apart from that, it's a good cooker.

This cooker is more suited for an undercooked as th knobs are not easy to read especially for short people. I would have prevented the markings to be on the panel rather than the knob. This is a major issue which surprised me it has such high review. It must me the price but I would have paid more. The knobs feel a bit cheap.

Well built oven great heating time looks very stylish,control knobs are a little difficult to get to grips with but overall an excellent product
