Bought as an addition to our single oven as a multi use appliance rather than just a plain microwave...and it sure lives up to that! Lots of cooking options, looks lovely and manual easy to understand.

Very difficult to read the screen which is a shame because it offers lots of features

Good looking, well made and easy to use. Very versatile and works well.

Very impressed! Really large inside, many excellent features. Our old one was very basic, this one is so much better! Fits in perfectly with the oven, which we bought at the same time. Very aesthetically pleasing and gives our kitchen a much more modern look. Really easy to use, very good instructions. Cooks really really well. First class!

Replacement Combination Microwave Oven. Looks nice and neat. Fitted in well with all other appliances. Easy to install.

Haven't had chance to really use this yet to be honest so feedback is limited. Initially though, it was easy to set-up, the instruction booklet has just the right amount of info & a qr scan thingy to more detailed manual. It's a beast compared to our previous 20L microwave! Clearly a the litre capacity is way bigger. Inside it seems as wide as the oven! The height looks oddly low, but that's just it's proportion & the external display footprint as once you pop a plate in there, can see there's plenty of room. Either I didn't read the description or it wasn't listed, but you get a bunch of stuff included with this one aside from the turntable:- • a wire stand for use with grill • a non stick tray that fits onto some bits on inside to raise it about halfway up, which think for use with convention • a 'crisp' tray (circular non stick for specific us on the instructions). • steamer set for us inside • plate cover (to help stop splatter etc). It's got a normal moulded 3 pin plug on it, so you should be able to use normal socket to power with same amp rating etc. AO site is best I found in terms of usability, stock range & price. Would be good to have a filter that removes the out of stock items though & add similar/same style items when looking at something so it's easier to find matching sets.

I have had this oven for 3 days and hate it. It may have some brilliant cooking features but fails on some of the most basic and important features. First the display and touch panel. I do not require glasses for everyday functions such as general reading, driving etc. but I cannot read the appalling display on this Hotpoint model without wearing reading glasses. The display is so dim and vague it is almost non-existant. Second problem with the touch controls is that they are so complicated. I have been measured with an iq of 142 and yet find the Hotpoint system unnecessarily complex and frustrating. Third and to me the most important failing is that you cannot set it to do multiple functions automatically on microwave setting. For example; The first morning I used this appliance was to cook porridge for 2 people. On my old Panasonic I could set it for 5 mins. on full power then set it for 5 mins. on simmer, all carried out automatically so that I could walk away till completion. With this model I need to set it for 5 mins. on full power. Stand and wait for program to complete and then reset for a further 5 mins on simmer power level. This to me is the most basic and necessary function of a microwave oven. Not just for porridge, that's just an example . There are many cooking processes where you need to bring something to temperature and then simmer. This appliance cannot do that automatically. So along with the appalling dim display, the over complicated touch control system and the failure to carry out basic functions then this is one appliance that is going back. Jamie Oliver praises its great multi function abilities which most of us use only occasionally. The everyday functions that we all buy a microwave oven for, I am afraid Hotpoint designers have failed miserably

Swung towards Hotpoint because the price for good spec equipment was excellent
