I want to say that this is not an expensive oven and as such I'm happy if it fulfils its basic functions i.e. cooks food for predetermined time and temperature.
This oven comes with a number of functions which is nice but only if the more common functions are reliable and simple to use. I find that the auto and timer functions are overly complicated and once or twice the oven has switched itself off because I have stupidly messed up the timer. I don't regard myself as particularly stupid but fail to see how difficult it can be to provide a foolproof timer which doesn't require a training course to setup. I should also point out that when you do manage to set it the timer alarm is so quiet and ineffective as to be bordering on the totally useless. When the oven was delivered I was surprised to find that it arrived with only one shelf and a grill pan with no mesh insert, a bit like buying a car with only a drivers seat but no seat belt fitted.
On a plus point it does heat up to roughly the selected temperature, has 8 cooking modes 3 of which are useful and plugs into a standard 3 pin socket rather than a dedicated cooker supply. I should also add that AO delivered on time with the usual efficiency that I have come to expect from them.
