So far so good!
4/5
Only been installed a week so it’s difficult to give a definitive review but so far so good.
Used both ovens for various meals.
Yorkshire puds rise nicely, Lasagne baked beautifully, Chicken Yakatori grilled well.
Pros: Both ovens are fan assisted and heat up very quickly. (Beeps when up to temp).
Multiple settings on both ovens for various types of baking, roasting etc although the fan only will probably be used 90% of the time.
Digital temp setting so no guesswork with dials.
Easy to keep clean outside with a quick wipe down. Inside with catalytic cleaning (both ovens).
Easy to read led display which gives plenty of information and an easy to set timer and this is loud enough to hear upstairs (unlike some).
Good lighting makes it easy to see into both ovens.
Good quality heavy duty mounting brackets.
Good quality shelves and grill pan and reversible rack. Turn upside down to use as a trivet for roasts.
Cons: Main oven smaller than my previous under counter and the internal width is slightly smaller too. One baking sheet will no longer fit.
Top oven is a good size though and being fan assisted it’s a lot more practical than my previous one.
This seems par for the course with most manufacturers of under counter ovens though.
Telescopic runners are good but in reality you do lose space by using them.
I fitted one to the lowest shelf in the main oven which means your bottom shelf will now be slightly higher than if you didn’t use it.
The ovens are small enough already without this extra compromise on space.
Digital controls are accurate but not particularly intuitive. Lots of options but give yourself 20 minutes going through it all for familiarisation.
Check out AEG online video re: switching off both ovens.
Main oven door is extremely stiff. Difficult to close gently which is a shame on an oven at this price point.
