+ Of course, I have had the oven less than a month, but in that time I am very pleased with it. I like the low speed air circulation in the upper oven and grill. I find that meat, in particular, takes a little longer to grill, but presumably uses no more electricity than my previous Creda grill, and the meat is very much nicer and uniformly cooked. The oven and grill are also well controllable. I like the recessable control buttons. The lower oven is very good and, again, results in good, uniform cooking. Performance is the most important, but I also like the appearance

- So far, I have not found anything which I dislike.

Joan, Barnsley , “we love cooking”

Score 10.0/10

+ new design of the oven door's were you can see through both top and bottom oven doors is far better than the previous style ,I also prefer the new seal's for the ovens. The oven dial's seem not as complicated to use and I like the brushed steel finish to the pop out dial's.

- I and my husband have not found anything wrong with the double oven
No bad points what so ever.

David, Northampton

Score 9.0/10

+ A lovely looking double oven at a great value price, the push in dials make it look very modern. It is easy to use and cooks the food evenly.

- Only minor negative point I can find is the glass leaves marks from hand prints etc rather easily so need to keep cleaning it

+ Heats up quickly; cooks food well; lots of choice with 2 ovens and options for fan or conventional; lights in both

- Instruction booklet useless; no cookery book with oven; bit tricky to set timer and clock; took a couple of weeks to get used to controls

Score 10.0/10

+ Excellent oven.

- The only problem I had was there was no grill pan handle with the oven. When phoning the supplier I was informed they are not sent out with the appliance and the customer has to phone up for it. This was delivered as promised.
