Replacing a Hotpoint with a Hotpoint
4/5
After realising the 17 year old Hotpoint oven had had its day it was time for a new one.
Looked at AEG, Zanussi but in the end went with this Hotpoint, mainly on affordability.
It's good, not amazing, but does the job. Pretty sleek looking, does a fine job of chops, pizzas, cakes. In fact it's night and day compared with the old one, where cooking was walking a fine line between charred and underdone.
Th Si4854hix takes a little longer to preheat and a few minutes longer to cook if using the cooking guidelines on food packets. One more niggle is the minute minder, or timer, or whatever you want to call it, doesn't appear to work without having the oven on. But it's a pay off, it's A+ energy rated, looks swish and a decent price. Oh and it comes with a fitted 13A plug!
