I have had to call hotpoint recovery people in 4 times because of the steam leaking through the door as i am cooking in the oven. Do not get this product, now having to change it as they have realised it is a factory fault

Wanted to grill burgers (raw meat) - grill cycles on and off - being off for minutes at a time - and yes, I did have the door open. Surely this isn't correct? Nothing in the manual. Spoke to Hotpoint, they can't explain. Engineer booked. If this is the way the grill functions, then this model is not acceptable for me - I would be concerned about food poisoning.

The top part of the cooker control panel leans back at a slight angle. I can’t understand why hotpoint design it like this. It looks odd. This cooker is a replacement for a 5 year old same model. The cooker front was straight on older model. Screws were loose on the rear casing and could not be tightened as screws were threaded. Hotpoint should improve their quality. If I had a better budget I would buy a different brand.

Fan is weak so air doesn’t circulate well. The temperature dial is difficult to tell what temperature it is set to as the numbers are mostly at the bottom so you have to bend right over to see what temperature you have set

Nice Looking, same dimensions as old hotpoint oven. The oven gets hot but the food does not get as hot as it needs to cook properly. A large tray of frozen sweet potato wedges for instance should take 18 mins to cook takes 50 mins to cook. Going to try a roast soon, but so far not very happy. With both ovens on expect the time to take even longer, maybe an hour for something that normally takes 20 mins.

Condensation forms and leaks from the door on a brand new oven.

Purchased this oven after renewing kitchen. Have previously had two Hotpoint ovens at previous property’s and they were excellent. Unfortunately this oven did not perform well, looks good but does not heat up to set temperature and then loses upto 40 degrees before trying to reheat to set temperature. Thermostats changed but made no difference. Oven does not get temperature high enough and then maintain that temperature to even cook and brown oven chips. Returned and exchanged for another make. The other items purchased at the same time were all Hotpoint and are all working as expected perhaps we were just unlucky to receive a faulty oven.

Issue with main door, heat escaping from one side. Awaiting engineer, not what you expect from a brand new appliance.
