Bought this to replace my old electric cooker. Opted for a ceramic hob instead of plates. Slightly disappointed that the ceramic top marks quite easily. The cooker is very basic, the dials are easy to operate. The fan oven is really good and cooks food well.

Bought this to replace an existing 50cm wide cooker for my parents. They weren’t after anything fancy and the Hotpoint brand is still premium in the eyes of my 80 year old mum who delighted in telling the installer about how her first Hotpoint cooker lasted for 35 years :) Good oven capacity and comes with a wire rack and a solid rack, plus a grill pan. Top cavity is just a grill, no top oven function on this model. The rack for the grill only has one level and is positioned quite far back, which makes it a little awkward to get the grill pan in if you have limited dexterity, and it doesn’t slide in and out smoothly. The controls are ok, but the markings could be larger. Icons for the hob and top and bottom oven are small and so fairly difficult for my dad to tell the difference between, but the dials are different, the grill having numbers and the oven showing temperature, so that helped him to tell the difference. He can’t see the numbers themselves too clearly, but he can see that there is more print on the oven dial. Indicator lights for the grill and oven are slightly offset from the related dials, sitting between two dials, which caused a little confusion. They also glow white which doesn’t stand out well from the white panel.

Bought this new cooker to replace a broken gas oven. Chose AO as they could deliver very quickly. Unpacked it and all looked very good. Love the easy to clean ceramic hob and separate grill. Fan oven works very well and is decent sized too. Only downside is only a single shelf and the door catch is extremely poor quality and doesn’t close so good. I can see this being a big problem once it’s worn. I’d recommend extending the warranty just in case.

Excellent modern equivalent of our old cooker. If this one lasts as long as the last we will be delighted. The oven is so quiet you can hardly hear it running.

It does what the right up says. I have had no problems with it. The only thing I would of liked would be for the Grill cavity to be shorter and to have had a plinth added to the bottom so that the stove is still the same height. It would be more helpful with my disability, when it comes to cleaning the oven.

Brilliant little oven, last min purchase as let down by another company and glad I was now. Easy to use and clean.

easy to operate.easy to clean ceramic top.the only draw back is the fact there is only one shelf.

Easy to use, easy to keep clean, instalation very quick, very good helpfully instruction on how to burn off oil from elements
