AVOID! This cooker broke down as soon as the warranty expired, which indicates planned obsolescence. It started fusing the electrics, tuning off the whole electricity in my house. Terrible experience!

The product has developed significant faults less than 2 years after purchase: - digital display has come loose inside and rotates when I move the control button, looking skewed most of the time; - fan rattles loudly when using the fan function; - stainless steel finish is low quality and has developed rust on the over door. Also, the pyrolytic cleaning is not very effective at all. The 1 year manufacturers warranty has lapsed and Hotpoint and AO repair quotes are astronomical, costing almost as much as the oven itself. Very disappointing for a product endorsed by Jamie Oliver - will not be so easily swayed by the celebrity name next time and will definitely avoid Hotpoint.

Used this oven 6 times in 6 days. Took much longer to cook food than my last oven, I’ve had to cook everything for 10 minutes longer than advised. By the 6th day after cooking the oven would not switch off so had to turn it off at the plug. Contacted AO who got in touch with Hotpoint, they have agreed to send a replacement. Hopefully this one works better and I may change my review.

Great service from AO. Staff working from home under coronavirus restraints but complaint handled professionally. The oven was working brilliantly for 2 weeks and we decided to let it run through it pyroclean cycle where it gets to a really hot temperature to basically turn any dirt into dust. Until we heard a huge bang and the door glass had shattered throwing bits all over kitchen. Sadly now without any oven during lockdown and a freezer full of food we cant cook. Another journey now to shops to spend even more money on meals we can do on hob. New oven on way but out of stock for over a week.

If you want all the fancey functions from an oven that should cost 600+ then I can only reccomend you buy a decent oven. "Powerful pyrolytic function - self-cleaning oven" is possibly just an April fools joke on the description. I have two of these ovens and both are utterly pointless burning hours of electricity. One Ovens bulb has gone after literally 9 months...

Oven will occasionally show fault code F03 disguised as a sensor fault however it just requires a restart but only a Hotpoint engineer knows how to do that. After 12 months you will have to pay the call out charge just for the oven to be restarted. This isn't the only review to point that out..

I've been on this earth for 42 years and using ovens with a degree of success for 30. This is without doubt the worst oven I've had the misfortune to use and I spent four years in rented student accommodation. Fan or otherwise it heats unevenly front to back and top to bottom so there's always something burned and another thing uncooked. It didn't come with enough shelves, even the instructions suggest you should only use one shelf at a time. The settings are over-engineered and in just three months we've had to have an engineer out due to the oven failing on a software fault that needed a reset that could have been done over the phone. It's an absolute lemon.

Unfortunately we are really disappointed with this oven. It is overly complicated, lacks features (such as a regular timer function) but at the same time has a lot of unnecessary features and most importantly, takes ages to cook food and then the food comes out chewy as it's had to be in there for so long. This oven is mid range and of lesser quality than some cheaper ovens I've owned and bought over the years. I'm only 2 months in I'm really disappointed and considering whether to replace it already.
