Versatile, beautiful, and quite simply brilliant!
5/5
This oven is far from the cheapest; however the sheer amount of features and quality makes it worth every penny! This oven has capabilities to cook food to perfection that I''ve never even considered before, which gives a real sense of future-proofing... It''ll probably take me years to get round to using every cooking mode that it has! I love the fact that the dial selector is touch sensitive, and the slide rail accessory is very handy when temporarily taking things out to do things with. The pyrolytic cleaning function is incredibly useful and will save so much time/energy in maintaining the oven, and the temperature probe means you can cook meat perfectly the way you like it! The glass door remains cool to the touch, even when it''s 200 degrees inside, and it''s so quick to heat up to temperature! Since this oven ticks so many boxes, I have to be really fussy to find things about it that can be improved: The dial selector could be a bit more affirmative with its increments, as it''s currently a bit too easy to scroll past the option you want. The door lock mechanism is a great feature, but it has no way of being engaged whilst the oven is on and hot; I also wonder how strong it is if a child was determined enough to open the locked door. The child lock feature is again an excellent feature, but it doesn''t change to present a new challenge, so again, a determined child would be able to work it out eventually - especially once they know their alphabet! a numerical/alphabetical problem that changes every day would be much better. Since this oven has Wi-Fi capability, it would have been really nice for it to automatically adjust its time for daylight savings, but alas this still has to be done manually. The phone app seems to struggle to keep itself connected/updated to the current status of the oven, so it''s usefulness is limited to novelty value. It would also be really cool if the app could provide usage statistics on things like most used functions, time active, power consumed, etc... All those little things aside, though, this oven leaves you feeling that you''ll never have to buy another one ever again!
