As others have said - the oven is great but the controls are a little difficult to understand when you first use it

This oven is a thing of beauty. I love the simplicity of the knobs. However, appearances can be deceptive and although the bottom (auxiliary) oven is very simple to operate with knobs alone, the main oven requires a lot more fiddling about with the knobs - pressing and turning with things flashing. I had read other reviews which mentioned that the main oven functions take some getting used to so feel confident I will get the hang of it eventually. To be fair I have only used it once so far to cook a roast dinner which went well and I was able to switch the function towards the end to crisp up the roast potatoes. I haven’t used the pyrolitic cleaning function yet - one of the main reasons I splashed out on this oven - so I am looking forward to this. Having read the manual in detail I feel there are many features that are surplus to requirements such as pre-programmed settings for cooking specific things. The defrost setting might be useful and the Sabbath setting for ensuring food is cooked to kosher requirements is an interesting, and I would imagine, helpful feature. Overall it’s a beautiful oven and I am delighted.

The performance of the oven is great but the controls and the timer alarm are terrible. It cooks very well, lots of options that have made my cooking much better. You will need to invest in a timer because the alarm is barely audible over the normal sound of the oven. Easy to miss if you are in another room or have the hob extractor fan running. The dough proving function is a little too hot and cant be changed. The controls for the main oven are really irritating to use but it isn't a deal breaker because the cooking performance is so good.

Absolutely fantastic piece of kit. I love to bake, my grandchildren all adore tasty, sweet baking and their parents enjoy a roast dinner. From Yorkshire puddings throu to desert this oven is a joy to use. AO itself was so easy, operators were good and the product was just as advertised if not better. I am just so pleased. Thank you Richard

Excellent oven cleans itself well no complaints

It is a lovely oven, my 3rd one. This latest version, as has been said before, has needlessly complicated electronics. You will need to watch you tube to see how to switch it on as the instruction manual is sparse on details to say the least.

Brilliant product, cooks food perfectly and easy to use.

Great Oven arrived just before Christmas and was worried about using it for the first time in anger on xmas day. Everything went great lots of room, shelves, 2 trays , all good
