"Great value. Works perfectly and heats food evenly. "
"Bought this double oven in June 2020 and it finally failed completely in October 2021. When it first arrived, there was a 'bend' in one corner. I queried this with AO installers and Hotpoint and both said this was normal. Not seen this on an oven before but decided not to pursue as it worked fine.
Within a month of arriving, we noticed 'bubbling' in the oven. Queried this with Hotpoint and were told this is 'normal' from useage. Not had this happen before with an oven but trusted the Hotpoint make.
Within 6 months - after the returns period with AO - the timer sound started only working intermittently (which we found out when we realised our dinner was taking a long time!). Couldn't trust it after that. Sometimes it went off, sometimes it didn't, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet. Had to use another timer therefore.
The main oven (we are a family of 4) is used daily for cooking and began to not heat up very well over the past couple of months (just out of warranty!). I noticed I was having to leave food in longer and longer to get it to cook properly, despite the oven light being out saying it was at temperature. I seemed to have to cook everything now at 200C. Then today, 15 months after we purchased it, the main oven stopped heating. Having phoned Hotpoint, it is a 1 year warranty on the whole oven, but 10 years parts warranty. Joy soon turned to disappointment. You either have to take out one of their 'plans' under their 'repair and care' team (almost half the price of the oven, and they'll have someone out within 5-7 working days) or pay a substantial call-out charge to Hotpoint plus their hourly labour fee for the 'free parts warranty'. We decided to buy a different brand of double oven and cut our losses."

"Amazing looks great in our kitchen and it finally great to bake properly with this Hotpoint oven and it fit like a glove in our unit. I have baked quite a bit in the oven since we got it Last friday and it cook so evenly and cleans amazingly. The big pluse is on the instruction books it has the temperature setting detailed in a list and for how many minutes we should bake certain type of food. Which I think is great because I'm not familiar with these thing and found that list to be really helpful honestly."
"Everything simple to use and works perfectly. Great service from start to finish from A.O.com"
