VERY loud cooling fan comes on after using oven- not good for open plan apartments
2/5
The oven is fab. It only comes with one shelf but also includes a couple of trays. I would have preferred two (wire) shelves.
The reason for average review, the cooling fan is VERY loud. It comes on after shutting off the oven after cooking. It lasts 30-40 minutes (even if only having used the oven for ten mins to heat up something small i.e. part baked bread). If you have an open plan apartment (like most are these days) it will annoy the hell out of you. My oven in the kitchen ‘area’ is about 12 ft distance from dining table in living area and just a couple ft more to the sofa.
It causes huge irritation when eating at the dining table or sitting at sofa in lounge after using oven.
Its bizarre but the cooking fan, of the fan oven, is much quieter and hardly noticeable, like normal fan ovens. But the cooling fan that comes on automatically after using is about 4 times as loud. Its ridiculous.
Its kind of affecting our living in a serious way, Id advise against getting this product to anyone in an open plan apartment. If you have a separate kitchen room it will be fine.
So sad because everything else about it is fine.
Haven’t tried self cleaning function yet.
