Hotpoint 170EW Electric cooker.

Advantages: Efficient cooking in oven and on hobs. Easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Waist level knobs difficult to see and read ( for a tall person.)

...I have just bought the ALL electric version of this ( assume there must be two versions based on a rreview I read here.). Its fantastic. I have no issues with it at all. The fan oven heated up and cooked beautifully. The hob rings were quick and efficiient. I managed to spill on one of the hobs ( too fast, I wasnt quick enough when it came to the boil) but it cleaned off easily and as good as new. My main gripe would be that the knobs are all along the front at waist level. I am tall and have to bend to see what is what there. I am sure with time I will be familiar with this but right now its a drawback. I liked the old Creda stand alone with a back up ( had a Creda cavelier vefore this) . I also miss the aultomatic timer I had on my old cooker. This is a " slot in " type so has no back and I suppose is very...

Review of Hotpoint HW170EK

Hotpoint WMD960 Polar White.

Advantages: Digital Display, Customisable, Memory, Delay Start
Disadvantages: Wash times longer than stated, smaller porthole.

...have found so far the 30 minute time saver wash takes around 45-50 minutes and I can honestly say I don't know why! I am pleased with the size of the drum, the porthole is smaller than some of the other Aqualtis machines, which is a shame but the drum itself is a very nice size. Although I have not yet tried any "large items" looking at it, I do believe that it would comfortably hold a double duvet. Not tested this of course, so wouldn't like to say for certain. After installation by Currys I had a slight technical problem with the water supply, after calling the Hotpoint Service line I was given very helpful and prompt information - they were also good enough to tell me NOT to call out their engineers for the problem as they felt it may not be the issue I thought and if that was the case they would have to charge me for the callout...

Morphy Richards Rice cooker - Too clever for me!

Advantages: An easy way to cook rice dishes
Disadvantages: Not suitable for small families due to the minimum cooking quantity

...A few months ago I read a review about a rice cooker and thought that, yes I could do with one of them. I settled on the Morphy Richards 48744 as to be honest that was the only one offered on the fact finders website and I thought I would use up some of my points. . The Rice and Pasta cooker is a mirrored silver colour with black handles with a toughened glass lid with a black handle and a steam hole. The cooker is 21 cm high without lid or 24cm with the lid and 28cm in diameter plus handles makes it 36cm. The cable is 90cm long. It fits nicely into one of my top wall mounted kitchen cabinets if the lid is turned upside down. The cooker is supplied with a pasta cooking pad, which is like a round piece of clear/white rubber with holes in it, a plastic measuring beaker and a small plastic white spatula. Inside the machine is a large...

Review of Morphy Richards 48744 RICE Cooker

Hotpoint WDD960 excellent for families with children

Advantages: washes well, dries well, quiet (when properly installed)
Disadvantages: installation instructions could be clearer

...and, before purchasing, I read many reviews that commented on its very low noise levels. Installation I would strongly advise getting this installed professionally, if you can. If you can't, then make sure you absolutely do not miss out on taking out the transit bolts at the back. The installation instructions is not entirely clear about this, and does not include a picture to confirm that you're taking out the right thing. We ended up running it for a couple of months with the transit bolts in place. It made huge amounts of noise and was practically taking off whenever it spun. We spent hours sitting on the floor trying to adjust the feet to make it completely level. Eventually, I found a small bit on the Hotpoint website with a picture of the bolts and we pulled it out and discovered that they were there still. In fact, one...

Review of Hotpoint WDD960A

Hotpoint, this product didn't blow me away

Advantages: Looks the part
Disadvantages: inferior quality fittings

...I had the same old Tumble Dryer for around 6years and decided purely for aesthetic reasons to upgrade and modernise, preferrably purchasing one that matched my recently bought Washing Machine. I trawled around the usual suspects, Curry's Comet and Online and eventually found the perfect match. *THE PRODUCT* Made by Hotpoint I believed the very attractive grey and anthracite colouring matched perfectly with my washer and blended in really well with my kitchen. The capacity is upto 7kg and well suited to a home like mine with at least a couple of washings done each day. The tumble dryer was a god send in our rain drenched country, escpecially during the winter months. The design is flawless and streamlined with a door hiding the usual ugly round door you get in most tumble dryers. The dials and programmes are easy...

Review of Hotpoint TCM570G

Stay clear of Hotpoint

Advantages: Reasonably good until it broke after 4 months
Disadvantages: Unrelilable, awful customer services from Hotpoint

...he'd gone, I started a wash and behold, the same fault still there. I called Comet who said because Hotpoint had replaced a part it was their responsbibility, so I called Hotpoint who said it was down to Comet. I've just spent over an hour trying to get them to decide who's problem it is, being bouced backwards and forwards between the two companies. My extended warranty is worthless, and I now have a piece of scrap metal in my kitchen with nobody taking responsibility for it. I've asked for Hotpoint to call me back after they have spoken to Comet and worked out who will sort out this problem. If I don't hear anything, I'm going to take it back to the Comet store and leave it there if I have to. You would have thought it would be a straight-forward case of "fix or replace" after just over 4 months. Latest Update...

Review of Hotpoint SDW60

It's no slow cooker....

Advantages: versitile and time saving
Disadvantages: none

...the kitchen and with the ceramic insert doubling as an oven dish you get extra value.It is also worth taking into account that it uses very little elctricity to run, far less than running an oven for an hour or so. -------------------- Using your slow cooker:- Choose your dish,prepare your ingredients...chuck them in, switch on and go and enjoy the day..Then come back a few hours later and enjoy your meal !!! The only things that you realy need to know is that meat is much better if very lightly fried to seal in the juices, and although this is not nessasary if you don't your meat can have almost a slimey texture. It is always worth bearing in mind that slow cookers work by keeping the moisture sealed in..so the less times you lift the lid the better !!! Meals such as porridge and rice dishes need less cooking so...
