Bitterly disappointed with this oven. The glass doors get burning hot and are not safe for pets & children. The springs on the main oven door are not strong enough resulting in some air leakage from the oven. Very inefficient giving off lots of heat and turning the kitchen into a secondary oven. Installation instructions were incorrect. Main terminal connector block poor quality. Oven heats up fast though.....

A disappointing buy. I had a problem getting the grill to work until a family member suggested turning on the heat control. This fact is not mentioned in the User Manual. Why the grill does not work independently I do not know. Also when I ordered this item I did not realise that to set the temperatures I would have to read them off the popped out buttons - this is difficult as I am not tall enough to read the number at the top of the dial.

Had to send this oven back and replace it with a different model. Never got to use it as all numbers and oven types are on the inside of the dials which are impossible to read if you are under 6ft. Very poor product design. Very disappointed as previous aeg oven was excellent. AO customer service was very good.

Knobs are impossible to read. Whoever designed this must have lost their mind. You need to stand on something to see them and even then they are barely indistinguishable. AEG should replace this with a sticker to place over them on the oven unless they don't want people to ever buy this oven

Bought with new kitchen, to replace my previous 26yr old AEG double oven, which I loved from the beginning hence choosing AEG again. This oven is badly designed settings are on the side of knobs very difficult to see, I am disabled and find standing on a stool to set dials difficult. The main oven has yet to cook a cake to my satisfaction, I like to bake and have a reputation for good cakes this oven has not made one in 4/12 since I bought it Awaiting second engineer visit.

The good - heats up fairly quickly cooks very nicely. Although no faster than our previous 8 year old oven, although I would guess it is probably more efficient. It looks lovely, a nice steel and glass finish. No harder to clean than any oven However it has three major design flaws. Two irritating and one potentially dangerous. The first irritating one is the settings are printed in grey on the sides of the silver dials, so nearly impossible to see in anything other than bright light. and as the dials are quite high my fairly average height 5'6" wife cannot see the top of the dial so has to guess its in the right position. Secondly the shelves all have a lip making it difficult to slide dishes/plates onto, and impossible to slide them off. Not a major problem if your dish has a handle. very difficult if it doesn't (pizza or baking tray for instance). Thirdly and more dangerously while you are cooking when you open the main oven door the fan blows a cloud of scalding hot steam directly in your face. This has scalded the face and hands of three users so far. We would not consider an AEG oven again.

Overall, the oven works well subject to following issues:- 1) not possible to read/set the temperature setting accurately unless standing on a stool or something similar. 2) inordinately difficult to remove the shelf retainers from the side wall of the oven to permit cleaning. 3) disappointing to find that the oven only came supplied with two shelves and one tray. 4) does not come with a delayed cooking timer. 5) curvature at front of shelves makes it difficult to remove any kind of tray placed on a shelf.

The oven itself is fine. The instructions on how to use it is absolutely useless. Even to work out how to change the clock settings, we had to go on Google and you tube.
