Hotpoint BD52

I have the hotpoint DD2844 condensation dripped from main oven a damaged my new fitted kitchen uniot engineer fitted condensation strip , the same has happened again after having unit replaced . They have written the oven off and I am currently looking for a replacement oven. The engineer informed me hotpoint indesit whirlpool all the same they have blocked a rear hole in the oven where condensation used to escape so can get a higher energy rating on their ovenshence sell for higher price and fitted this condensation strip which in my case didnt work . I am seeking compensation for damage to my new kitchen as unfortunately now been discontinued and cant replace the damage part caused by condensation.I warn anyone dont buy

Got ours a couple of years ago and from day one it's been bad, every time it's used we have a pool on the floor, also ruined the cupboard below with water damage.

Now when we use it we put a spoon in the top right corner to let moisture escape but obviously have to use on higher settings, would certainly put me off of buying Hotpoint in the future.

Just had a lovely kitchen fitted with all hotpoint appliances and like all previous reviews the oven drips condensation in to the cabinet and on to the floor when cooking, only wished I had read the reviews before, very disappointed be warned everyone stay clear of hotpoint Built in ovens.

Like everybody else, my appliance drips water when cooking. The housing unit is ruined after only a few months. Told by an engineer that ‘it’s normal’.

Very disappointed because never been let down by hotpoint before but will definitely never buy a hotpoint oven again.

Water leaks out of oven after cooking a roast of beef. Never had this problem with other ovens.

Would not touch the hotpoint double oven for love or money what a bad design this oven is constantly leaks water when u cook had 2 engineers out they have said the same but hotpoint have said make some holes in your cupboards to let out heat u got to laugh that’s why u buy oven as it’s slots in to ur cupboards had indesit oven great no problems with that think I go back to indesit

I brought this cooker sometime ago I get a load of air blowing from top of the top oven door and the bottom loads of condensation quite dangerous really and doesn't cook very good when doing Yorkshire pudding

This oven has been a pain since I purchased it. It leaks large amounts of condensation when the door is opened. I have had to place a tea towel on the door beneath the oven to catch the water. They show no interest and the independent engineer I called in could not find a fix. Unimpressed. Suggest you do not buy Hotpoint

Even when the oven was first fitted two seals were fitted., then the engineer sealed it with silicone which lasted a couple of months now weare back to square one. We have only had the oven 18 months and for a purchase of this cost you would expect such a large company to get it right ! My advice don't buy hotpoint oven until they fix the problems, they must know about them and choose to ignore the design issue, I was told to cover my food while cooking !

Totally agree with other users about the condensation problem and the pathetic alarm. Have had ours now for over 12 months and the fan has stopped turning when you switch the oven on. Admittedley we are a family of 6 and the oven does take a hammering, but there are no instructions in the service booklet about cleaning the fan. I usually have to poke something into the back of the oven to make it go round! Otherwise it's a great looker and everything else works just fine so far :)
