This is my third Stoves oven and I am not impressed with this one. It takes 20 minutes to get to temperature. The clock is not visible unless you press on the control panel, not much use if you are at the other side of the room. It is not visible during cooking. You can only set the timer before setting the oven to come on, not during cooking as with previous models. This is my major gripe with it. Even the instruction book does not say this. I contacted Stoves and all the assistant could do was read from the manual that I had. I had done a lot of research on ovens and narrowed it down to 3. Chose this one as I had been happy with previous models. The description misrepresents the functions. Not happy!

Our oven died and we needed be quick. Not wanting a cheap one but neither wanting an expensive one, we plumped for a very good make but at a very reasonable price. Once the instructions were read it was so easy to work. However the only complaint I would say is that in the instructions you shouldn’t force the door closed but the soft close is so slow there’s a fear of losing heat. It’s a heavy one. Much heavier than our previous one. Having said that, it’s a great oven for its price and would definitely recommend it.

very easy to opperate and compact

This cooker is better than I expected Easy to use and a great price

The oven looks stylish and is well made with a telescopic runner for the grill pan. The controls are easy to use, although I haven’t tried all the functions yet. Very happy so far!

Had the previous model to this which was good but this one seems better quality

Excellent oven. Love the range of functions and so easy to use once you have understood the instructions. Bakes everything so much better than my previous one. I chose the black one and it looks so smart.

Only used this oven a few times since installation, but it seems pretty good. My old one was very noisy compared to the Stoves. The controls are OK, not really very intuitive, but I soon got used to them. The timer, however is a different matter, and I've still not worked it out yet. Setting a time of 1 and a half hours should be easy, but it just stars counting down from 9 hours? The instruction manual is not much help, I would expect a lot better from a British company. So, apart from having to use a manual timer, I do like this oven, especially as it has the Pyrolytic cleaning system, which should make cleaning far less of a chore. At the price, a good buy.
