Everything works. Gets to desired temperature quickly.
Value for money
13 Feb 2006
Danny, Shoreham
easy to clean, runs off a plug in socket so no need to hard wire, nice and easy to set up and the timer is handy, heats up fairly quickly and maintains heat so good cooking times. good value for money
the internal grill gets splashed with fat and smokes a little when heating up but soon clears.

Heats up very quickly Easy to operate Value for money
Grill pan too tight so scratches oven Rubber seal already broken at 3 months old Stainless steel very difficult to clean
A lovely looking oven but difficult to clean and shows every mark

Steve, Burnley
Great looking, works well, easy to keep clean. Simple and easy to fit. Can be connected to 13a socket or wired directly.
Cooking times and temperatures need to be a little higher than those suggested in the manual but once you get used to it it's fine. Very small particles of food debris tend get inside the glass door panel and not easy to remove. Connecting power supply cable a bit fiddly when fitting direct to a junction box.

Nice to look at and easy to use
Grill only tends to cook in the middle and turns itself on and off during grilling

Easy to use, no too many programs
Cooker arrived with dent in fascia, and grill not operational, 4 visits by engineers to fix issues.

To be perfectly honest I cannot find anything bad about my new oven. It's simply ease to use and understand. Even cleaning is easy to do, just a wipe down whilst it is still warm.
I cannot find any bad points.

Once purchased the good points are very few and far between, it can be plugged into a 13amp socket, it is stylish and modern looking, it has a timer/clock. The grill pan actually fits like a shelf, unlike many other other that the grill pan fits on a shelf.
The grill is only half width, so a busy mum for example would find it time consuming to toast 4 slices of bread as you have to keep turning them. The grill control is on same knob as the oven control and to use grill you have to go through all the oven tempreture settings, with the fan cutting on and off. No grease filter over fan. Knowing what I know now I would have looked for another product. My particular oven is in stainless steel but the model is available in a choice of colour.

The surround of our previous oven used to overheat in use and had discoloured the adjacent cabinets. This oven is designed to prevent this happening and works really well.

THE BAKING TRAY/GRILL PAN IS FAR TOO HEAVY.

Marelyn, Tamworth
Very quick to reach heat required. 2 Shelves is a bonus as many ovens today do not have this feature.Love the full width grill which acts as a further shelf when needed
Wish it had teflon easy clean back and. sides for easy cleaning. I love it!!

This product is quick to heat up and cooks evenly and there's no fuss with too many controls - there's just enough for what you need.
No 'bad' points particularly - would prefer it if the knobs were not made of plastic. As with any product, simpler instructions that actually correspond exactly with the product and used the correct symbols would be good!

I love it!
I love my cooker but can't get the grill to work! I have read the instruction book but it is very basic and doesn't go into as much detail as I would like. Thanks!

Does mark quite easily on the front of the oven - but this is due to its mirror effect.

Casing cooling fan dispels air directly onto the oven door handle - so making it a little hot.

Quick to heat up, easy to setup (what with the it being a plugged appliance I didn't need an electrician to plug it in) and easy to program.
could have clearer temperature readings and nicer knobs!

Well its an oven so good points are that it cooks your dinner nicely and it fills what would be a bit of a large space in the kitchen.
It is a little noisey, but not prohibitively so.

I've only had it about a month, it's too early to tell whether it's any good. I mean it heats food up all right! Ask me again in 10 years time, if it's still running I'll recomend it.

It was easy to install.
The manual states that the light turns on when it reaches the desired temperature, but actually it turns off. No child lock. It is somewhat complicated to use.

Very fast to heat up and looks good. Neat and stylish design.
Instruction book on how to use the oven does not match up to the oven itself so have to make it up as you go along. Luckily its straight forward to use. Bit of trial and error for the first few times of using.

Easy to master,quick to cook
Bad door design of door,opening on the side would be better as when opening now the shot of hot air is very bad.Cant reset the time when you turn off the mains without having to re read the instruction booklet.the dials are not easy to judge what heat setting you have selected.

Reasonable Price
Poor quality, the white enamel finish is actually pale grey when compared to my white fitted kitchen, and the fan is very noisy. The rungs inside the oven do not clean up and do not compare with the quality of my original W
