We had an expensive oven, that gave up after 10 years or so and this is it's replacement. After establishing we only ever used our oven on one setting and didn't need all the flash programs etc, we decided what was the point on spending £500 on an oven we leave on or around 200, on fan. We settled on this oven and am so glad we did. Technology must have moved on since our old oven was made, as it heats up quicker, is quieter and cooks food better. We think our old oven was probably on its way out long before it blew up now, as this thing is incredible. If you don't need the features (and do you really need those features?) this is all the oven you should need.
