Anonymous verified purchaser , “Busy working mum”
Score 9.0/10+ East to install, don't need any specialist electrician to install as it just plugs in to a normal plug socket - took 10 minutes to take old one out and put new one in. Has plenty of shelves most ovens come with just two but this one has three. Easy to use, even the kids can turn the oven on.

Score 10.0/10+ I bought this for my son and his wife and they are over the moon with it. It is easily kept clean and they are very pleased with the overall workings of it.
- You should give a small sample of cleaning fluid with everyone you sell. Not everyone is sure of what to use for the best results as not everyone has had experience using a ceramic hob.

Score 8.0/10+ It was cheap and it does the job. It has a cooling system after that keeps running after the oven is off. Easy to fit and plug inm ready to go.
- 1st 1hour it needs to run and you get a funny smell - but that's in the manual. However it's still doing it a little and not too keen on that. Timer could have been digital.
