Debra, Faringdon , “Busy Wife and Mum”

+ It looks great! I like the ease with which you can move the shelves. It's easy to clean.

- Grilling is a disaster! If you place the shelf on level 4 (as per the instruction booklet) you cannot fit food on the grill pan without burning it. Of course, if you use a lower shelf the food takes ages to cook! Also the grill pan handle is very fiddly to attach - I use oven gloves instead.
The oven does not cook evenly - quite disappointing.
Overall it does not have the features I was expecting for an oven of this cost and manufacturer.

+ Very quiet and is obviously well insulated because it does not heat up the kitchen.

- The grill tray has to sit on another shelf rather than acting as a shelf. This is a bit awkward.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Young Male”

+ It is a simple design nothing complicated, it is a Self cleaning oven. I also like the fact that the trays slide into moulded runners instead of the usual metal runners - generally makes the oven look nicer.

- The timer buttons aren't the nicest buttons I have used - very minor point!!!

jo, norwich , “mum of three”

+ looks good i like the blue clock and the sterdy chrome handle. seems to work well and cook as i would like.

- the grill tray rack seems to be badly made with lots of rough edges which pulls apart my washing up sponge and leaves half of it attatchmumed to the rack. Also still seems to smell when you use it even though i have had it month.
