Overall appearance is good. Today is the first opportunity to try the oven out. First problem, discovering that because of the high electrical rating of the oven, new wiring is required from fuse box to oven causing delays before first use. This level of detail not available at time of purchase to indicate ‘buyer beware’ before purchase’ Second problem, operation of control functions. Crystal ball (almost) required to discover function indicators are on the inside of the control knob only, not additionally on the front of the knob, so almost impossible to see and read when oven is located at work top height. Instruction book does not mention this important fact. A case of design over functionality hence our low rating, but an issue that cold so easily be corrected and made simple.

Best oven I've even had. Considered more expensive options but was a little put off by their overly complex controls. This is so easy to use and the results are great. Heats up quickly, but there's a function to heat even quicker. Cooks really well in less time than most instructions suggest. Have made bread a couple of times using the steam function and results are great. Looks good too. All round can't recommend this oven enough!

Best oven ever - and I haven’t even tried all the functions yet! Bakes great bread with the steam function and the temperature goes low enough to do the proofing.

Well made solid construction this oven is a delight to use. Oven heats up really quickly and lets you know when the temperature has been reached. useful feature if you are busy in the kitchen. So far cooking results are all good .

This oven only arrived today, but my first impression is that unless you have FANTASTIC eyesight, and are tall, it's absolutely useless. The only indication of what function you are choosing is on the left-hand control knob, the functions are printed around the silver coloured dial. It's above eye level for me so I have to stand on tiptoe and can still barely see the etchings around the edge of the 1" diameter dial - pictures, not words, so you have to figure out what they mean as well. The instruction book is a thin pamphlet that gives little information really on how to use the oven and the 'steam feature' is nothing more than a shallow indentation in the floor of the oven that you pour water into when the oven is cold. Thus ensuring that by the time the oven is hot, it's probably evaporated away, so a useless feature that allowed them to bump up the price without being of any practical use. A great pity that this item was not described fully in the write-up about it. I hate this oven already.

Very nice looking oven, with a fast heat up and lots of different functions, I especially like the bottom oven for cakes which means my cakes bake really well without burning on top. I have used the cleaning function yet as I have found it easy to wipe clean after each use. Very wirth the money and much better than the pricier Neff models I was looking at.

Looks great and works very well.

Well designed product, easy to use and heats up quickly.
