Susan, Eccles

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Easy to use and keep clean. Has a defrost setting and a slow-cook setting. The ovens themselves are slightly larger than those of similar ovens with the same outer dimensions which is the main reason for choosing this particular model. The economy setting of the grill is handy for one slice of toast or grilling one portion as only one half of the grill is activated. It was very reasonably priced and I really can't fault it. I would buy the same again.
Bad points:: I still haven't fathomed the timer, mainly because I've not really had to use it. It doesn't seem particularly straight forward and neither was setting the clock although I did manage that eventually. However, someone else might not find it a problem at all.

Joanne, London Family cook

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: oven is good on performance and looks but let down by a couple of the features.
Bad points:: timer is really quiet only hear it if you are stood next to it ( have spoken to manufacturer but they say that is how it is set) the grill door does not sit flat when it is open so if you rest the hot grill pan on it it slides inside the hot grill.i know these are small points but they do get irritating over prolonged use.

Susan, DXerby Family cook

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Very easy to use previous oven had small oven at bottom so find this one much easier to use. Looks smart and is easy to clean. Has all the programmes I would use. Found the knobs strange at first but are a good idea to be flush when not in use.
Bad points:: None

Product Features

Construction	Built-in
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Fuel	Electric
Oven cavity	Double

Main heating type	Convection
Conventional ovens heat from the bottom so the top of the oven will be slightly hotter than the bottom. This is useful when you’re cooking lots of different dishes at a time. However, they do take a little longer than fan ovens to heat up. Convection (or fan) ovens circulate the air so that you get an even temperature throughout the oven. They are quicker to heat up which means they save on energy and time. Multifunction (convection or conventional) ovens give you the flexibility to use different methods of cooking. They usually have both fan and conventional settings as well as pizza settings that will only cook from the bottom, giving you a crispy pizza, or top-only cooking that is very useful for browning.
Secondary heating type	Grill
Extra functions	Display

Extra functions	Clock

Type of self cleaning	Catalytic
Self-cleaning ovens can come with catalytic liners or pyrolytic programmes. Calalytic liners are the bumpy surfaces which line the inside walls of the oven. They absorb the food and grease and break it down so that the oven is easier to clean. Pyrolytic programmes run for a couple of hours and burn off all the grime in your oven at temperatures up to 500°C. As it gets so hot, the oven door usually locks so that all you need to do is sweep up the ash that’s left over at the end.
Energy efficiency	A
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient.
