My previous Bosch oven lasted 23 years so I thought I'd stick with the same brand. It's not a 'pure brilliant white' as the glass frontage tints it to a slightly grey white but this works really well with my kitchen colour scheme so I am pleased with the appearance. A bit noisy when in use but this might be something to do with vibration from my particular cooker housing?! Takes a while to heat up to temperature so the 'quick heat up' button option is useful but once heated up seems quite powerful so keep an eye on the oven chips! The control buttons can be pressed in flush to the cooker when not in use which I suppose might stop toddlers playing with them and keep them clean from hob splashes. It this one lasts 23 years it will see me out! :-)
