Hello Forum,
New to this site so I ask for patience from you with this question.
11 years ago I had a new kitchen fitted and a Hotpoint Double Oven, Model AHP67X/1, was built in. Until last week it proved to be an amazing investment providing us with years of trouble free service. I noticed a fault with heating the main oven which turned out to be a problem with the fan. Since the Technician could not access the fan in the back panel the insurance company wrote it off. I was provided with a ‘like for like’ replacement today.
It turned to be a downgrade on the old one. A good oven, certainly, but not quite the same quality as the last one. The replacement is Model DD2 844 C IX. Hotpoint/INDESIT seemed reluctant to tell me if the replacement oven – delivered and quickly installed – is the 2020 equivalent of the cracking 2009 model it replaced.
I would be very grateful for any pointers that may help me understand, or discover, if my insurers have provided me with a pup.
Thank you for your time.
WJE
Hi
How do you know you have received a “downgrade”?
The replacement you have received is a good machine by today’s standards, sadly the build quality has gone down since you purchased your previous one in 2009. The prices are now cheaper than then as well. Something has to give so the build quality is inferior.
Looking at your old oven spec I would say you have done well to get a replacement which is as close a match as possible.Don
