"Only had this a week.This Hotpoint cooker is a replacement for another brand cooker I had various regular problems with.
Let’s start with the positives.
The fan oven is far superior than a multi fan oven and cooks far better than than my old one in my opinion and does so evenly and throughout no matter what position the shelf is at .
The hobs heat super quick and the large back one is excellent for larger pots.
The solar grill takes a bit of getting used to as there is no noise but once heated it’s so fast .You just have to keep your eye on it until you get used to it .I now love it .
Now for the negatives which are niggles but none the less important.
The markings on the dials are very faint and perhaps would be better underneath the front plastic like my old cooker especially if your eyesight or lighting poor but given the comments from others saying same perhaps Hotpoint could take these consumer concerns on board for future appliances regarding this .
Also the main oven door .Watch your toes!Stand back
a bit when opening door as it’s so low to the ground it scraped across my foot.The other little niggle is the door catch is very stiff to open and close .I have gave this 4 stars purely due to these but I can still highly recommend this cooker if you looking to replace an old one or it’s your first buy for the price you cannot go wrong ."

"Great cooker. The top oven heats far more quickly than my previous one and cooks more evenly too. Fan oven isn't as fierce as the previous one, but not a bad thing as I've not burned anything so far!
I hadn't looked into the hob details before ordering so wasn't aware of the extra large ring at the back which seems to heat up in double time to an even higher temperature. So great for getting large pans boiling quickly. I think it's probably a wok ring but I've not got a wok!
Maybe I'll get one! "
