Bought this microwave 19 months ago as part of a complete appliance package for our new fitted kitchen. About 8 months ago (just out of warranty) it flashed a door error and would not start. 8 months later and it has got so bad we are going to have to replace it. Considering the price tag this is awful value for money. When I contacted Hotpoint about the faulty Fan oven that I bought at the same time and asked about the microwave I was told each appliance would take a £119 to have an engineer to repair. I will never buy hotpoint products again. Really poor quality.

Ordered this to go with my hotpoint double oven as had a hotpoint oven before and was happy with it. Seems to be ok does what it’s supposed to do and looks good. Not tried the grill yet .

We had to replace a previous Hotpoint Microwave because the display colours were different from the Oven, now replaced but the display numbers are larger than the oven, why can't this all be consistent?? Or is this a bit of OCD??

Only in use for 6 weeks after a kitchen refit. No problems, but manual could be a bit clearer and more informative.

Really pleased with it. Looks great, simple to use and delivery was great (as always) Very heavy though, found it a bit tricky to lift into the gap in our kitchen.

THe Hotpoint MD344 IXH is a nice looking piece of equipment. Some reviews said it was noisy but we haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Yes the controls are complex, but all multi function microwaves are the same , yes the instructions that come with it are scant, but just look on the Hotpoint web site and you can download a full instruction manual (that most people won't read!) The unit is really "plug and use" and was installed in moments. Good service and a very good price from AO completed the package. If you are looking for a competitively priced Microwave then go for this one.

It’s been in now for 2 weeks and works perfectly. Massive inside too.

we bought oven,microwave and hob for new kitchen,then added extractor fan,we were so looking forward to their arrival and were not disappointed, colour ,style really completed our modern kitchen units.Found myself staring at the kitchen everything went together as though it was planned. it was ,online.
