"From the moment my new oven was fitted and used, I knew it was so easy to use, much much quieter and much more efficient than my old oven and with the added bonus of 10 year parts and labour guarantee. It looks fab I was able to match it with other built in appliances not made by hotpoint.
It is so easy to use and the separate cooking setting I.e pizza setting and joint roasting are a great feature and do make a difference to how they are cooked.
Simple easy instructions to follow would definitely recommend. "

"This oven heats quickly, is quiet and looks stylish. There are a few special cooking settings that I have yet to use/test but it’s very intuitive to do a standard timed cook or grill. It also has a cleaning function. A great oven for the price."

"Bought this oven about 3 weeks ago, after much deliberation. Seems to have been a good choice.
Easy to install - slide it into position in the cabinet and plug it in. The electric cable is a reasonable length. If you take the door off (easy to do) the oven is quite light so no problem lifting it (my daughter helped me).
Before purchase we had some doubts about how easy it would be to use this oven - only one knob and touch screen for all settings. However, using it has proved straightforward. (Some ovens that we looked at seemed very complicated and you would have to refer to the manual every time you want to cook something!)
You can either use the various "auto" or special" settings, or you can go for good old-fashioned conventional or fan.
We like the fact that, if you haven't set the timer, the display automatically shows how long something has been in the oven.
Heats up a lot faster than our old oven did - 200 deg C probably takes less than 10 mins.
Also, the grill seems very effective, we haven't needed to use the maximum setting yet.
Home-made pizzas, lasagne, loaves and cakes have all been good.
The hydro cleaning is straightforward to use - just add water and start the cleaning setting. Wipe down internal surfaces afterwards. Removing shelf guides is very easy, and grill element hinges downwards so you can clean the top of the oven. We haven't cooked anything "messy" yet so don't know how effective the hydro cleaning is when something has spilt or dripped...
The outer rear casing seemed a bit lightweight but it's concealed when the oven is installed - and I have noticed that the surrounding kitchen cabinet doesn't seem to get very warm when the oven is being used, which suggests that it's well insulated.
For the money, we think this oven is excellent. It comes with a 10 year parts warranty so hopefully the components are decent quality.
