Fun size but does the job, the dials are weirdly numbered (around the bottom so you can't see them) and the gas takes a while to light. The lid sticks to the hob metal bits (which are the wrong way around) and therefore makes an almighty crash if you forget to hold them in place whilst lifting the lid. I don't think that top oven gets to the heat that it says on the dial but I don't know what I can do about that.

Not much choice at all to buy a 50 cms wide gas cooker, so I had to buy this model although I had seen negative reviews regarding the grill. Well, of course it looks lovely BUT the lid is completeley see through, use your noddle Hotpoint , an opaque one is far better. Hides the rings. Two plastic blobs hold the lid off the rings-cheap and nasty. Yes you do have to hold the gas ignition in for absolute ages to light the grill and top oven, if you let go too soon, the whole process starts again. Absolute worse though, is as others have said, just cannot easily get the grill pan in and out. I might write to Hotpoint and ask how we are meant to do it! Just such a shame to have these issues when you have eagerly anticipated the arrival of your new cooker. Not the fault of AO of course who are amazing, pull your socks up Hotpoint!

Disappointed in some ways. Takes long to ignite. The look of it is spoilt by the 2 ugly looking protective discs on the glass lid (not shown on the pictures of the item)

Average cooker- takes some time to get used to it. Not sure how to use top oven metal guard that is supplied ( to prevent food burning?)

So far it seems all good. Early days as just got it installed. It was competitive price when I purchased via AO.com

Very nice but nowhere does it say which side the main burner is. Ours turned out to be on the right.....needed it on the left....pfff

Excellent gas cooker. Main oven door could be a little tighter on hinges so that it opens a bit wider and stays there.

There is a limited choice in 50 cm cookers and this was the best available option. It is a neat little cooker though its appearance is let down by the grey plastic knobs on the front, which make it look cheap. Silver knobs to match the oven handles would have been more in keeping. (It is not a cheap cooker, after all.) It is a shame too that the lid isn't opaque and strong enough to use as a work surface. On the plus side, having two ovens which light up is a bonus. Had a little trouble with operating the grill but AO kindly helped me out. Overall, still an improvement on my 20 year previous cooker!
