The Hotpoint TVFG 65 is a versatile and efficient freestanding cooker that combines modern technology with user-friendly features. It stands out for its sleek design and the practicality it offers to home cooks who appreciate both functionality and aesthetics in their kitchen appliances.

At the heart of the TVFG 65 is its dual fuel cooking system, which pairs a gas hob with an electric oven. This combination provides precise temperature control for the oven while allowing for instant heat and responsiveness from the gas burners on the hob. The cooker is equipped with four gas burners, which vary in size, enabling users to choose the best fitting burner for their culinary needs, whether boiling, simmering, or sautéing.

One of the standout features of the Hotpoint TVFG 65 is its pyrolytic cleaning technology.

The fan-assisted option ensures even heat distribution, which is ideal for baking, while the conventional mode is perfect for roasting meats to achieve that golden exterior and succulent inside. With an A rating for energy efficiency, users can also rest assured that their cooking habits are environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

Another impressive aspect of the TVFG 65 is its built-in timer and clock, which helps maintain cooking schedules, ensuring dishes are cooked to perfection every time. The stainless-steel finish not only adds an element of sophistication but also ensures durability and ease of maintenance.
