No frills basic but good and affordable
4/5
Great value for money, 5 star oven, stove top nothing special.
This could be improved by having cast iron or wider pan supports. The pan supports, although I feel are of good quality and will last a fairly long time, are very very thin indeed. This makes it difficult to balance certain pan sizes or shapes and I've already nearly spilled a flat bottom wok when making stir fried vegetables.
Talking of which, this stove top isn't great with woks either. The largest burner is too wide for wok's, and the medium ones at the back, although they did the job somewhat okay, aren't as powerful as I would've liked them to be, and due to how deep this unit is, it can be awkward tossing the wok when all the way at the back of the stove. The small burner in the front right corner, would only be useful for frying an egg in a tiny pan. Seriously, completely useless, so tiny.
The main oven itself is absolutely fantastic. It cooks perfectly evenly, very very quick to preheat, cooks perfectly on every shelf. My only gripe is : it's a fan oven, nothing else. No conventional oven setting, no steam baking, no slow baking option, no keep warm option, nothing. It's a temperature dial, that's it. On, or off. But it's absolutely massive, easy to use, and it's a proper fan oven where the heating element is around the fan, rather than heating top and bottom and the fan just circulates a bit of air.
The small oven , is conventional only, which is perfectly fine. It has a conventional (top and bottom) setting which cuts the power to the top element by half and maintains a very good constant heat, so no more overcooked frozen pie tops by the time it's cooked in the middle.
It has a bottom heat only setting, which is good for warming plates.
Then it has a top only, and then a grill setting.
According to the instructions, you must leave the top door open while grilling,and by doing so, steam and heat escapes, which heats up the buttons to control the stove, shame. That being said the grill function is very powerful. No light though, shame.
Lastly, the clock and smart features, are non existant. You get a clock, and a timer, and the timer doesn't turn off the oven. That's it.
Overall I am satisfied with my purchase. With promotion and coupon code, I paid about £425 for this oven, and £120 for installation. Compared to other sellers (Currys, appliances direct, John Lewis), it was quite cheaper. If you are after a very very good no nonsense fan oven with a very good small conventional oven, and a no frills basic gas stove top, this is the one for you.
If you like to cook with woks, or want smart features and programming, or like to bake bread or pastries and need steam direct heat baking, I would suggest to look elsewhere.
