When you live in a small space the the last thing you want is an over sized range taking up precious room. While the obvious solution to the problem would be using a small size range, the problem is that most small ranges are underpowered. This is not the case with the HotPoint Small Range. The Hotpoint range not only provides enough power to cook virtually anything you need, but it is engineered to provide maximum cooking space without taking up to much room in the kitchen.
If there is anything lacking in the HotPoint Range it would be a broader degree of functionality. While the range comes with a timer, you can only have one timing setting going at one time. This means that if you are cooking more than one thing at a time you will have to use a separate timer to make sure you get the right timing for everything. On the plus side, all of the controls are quite easy to use which does a lot in making up for their simple nature.
Aside from an absence of the bells and whistles of most higher end ranges, there is little the HotPoint Small Range can not do. While it has a small oven, there is easily enough space to cook a large turkey. No matter what you need to cook, the Hotpoint is up to the task. It is nice to see that just because a range is small does not mean it looses functionality.
In the end if you are looking for a space saving range that has the full capability of other ranges then the HotPoint Small Range may be exactly what you are looking for. Even if you have the space for a larger range, you may just want to consider the HotPoint anyway.
