There's a lot packed into this Hotpoint Class 2 built-in oven, starting with eight cooking functions and rotary controls set flush into the front. Multiflow moves hot air right around the 71-litre cavity, so a tart on one shelf and chicken drumsticks on another cook evenly without you swapping trays halfway through. Because all three levels run together, a full meal uses up to 43% less energy than cooking the same dishes in three separate batches, based on Hotpoint's internal testing with a tart, lasagne, and chicken drumsticks with roast potatoes.

The fan grill browns from above while circulating heat, handy when you want a crisp top on a shepherd's pie. Twenty-eight auto recipes take care of the temperature and timing for you, and the programmable timer can set a cooking duration or hold back the start so dinner lands when you want it. Clearing up is less of a chore, as well. The Diamond Clean cycle uses steam to loosen baked-on splashes without chemicals, the door glass clicks out for a quick wipe, and the Tilting Grill unhooks and drops down.
