Might just be me but the large burnet and small burners are in each other's spots. I grew up on big burnet left front not, left rear. Right rest not right front. Anyway it seems unhandy and crowded. Also I light 5he oven light to come on ad you open the door. Just unhandy issues. Like the off burners with the metal circle thing I'm the center, but I gather that's now standard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have had my new Hotpoint Stove for about 2 months now. What a great appliance! The oven is an absolute dream. Everything I have baked has cooked evenly. The oven light is an added plus, along with the timer. The top of range burners are set in such a way that they are easy to clean. I chose my stove in black and I am delighted in how appealing it looks in my kitchen. Overall, this appliance has exceeded my expectations in functionality, ease of care and cleaning, and appearance.
