    Caution Poorly built

    1/5
    I've had this oven for 6months and it's been returned to whirlpool. The reason is that it critically overheated in its self-cleaning mode the oven didn't shut off its elements and completely cooked itself this happened 4months in of owning the oven and for the last 2months I've had no oven at all where whirlpool couldn't fix it with huge delays on parts. It's also been a struggle to get whirlpool to refund this dangerous oven luckily when I got to the end of my tether AO stepped in and got my money back due to exceptional circumstances so can't praise AO enough. I will never buy another whirlpool again...... period

    Dissapointed

    2/5
    I have had this appliance for less than 2 years. It is smart looking and sounds great with its 6th sense functions. Sounds like it should be a breeze to use. That is not the case . The Handbook is very poor. Lots of Trial and error, even yet some basic meals cause an issue for example it doesn't get any more basic than Chicken Kievs and oven chips but even on the multi shelf cooking setting it is damn near impossible to get the chips browned. The pizza function is ok usually needs extra time. The setting for keeping things warm leaves things less than warm and has no ability to increase the temp from 65 degrees. Now after a little over 19 Months, it has developed a metallic fan rattle when the fan cuts off obviously this isn't ideal and sign of a fault. that takes me to the warranty. loads of warranty documents sent through but none with a Uk warranty number to call which in hindsight led me to not call up for the free 2 year warranty my mistake I foolishly expected to get more than a couple of years without it developing a fault. So now I either pay £160 for the engineer or take out a 12month plan, so that has been an expensive lesson. This is the first Oven I have bought that wasn't a basic fan oven.It is also the first oven that has lasted less than 5 years without developing a fault. Most ovens I have changed as the decals had come off.A selling point for this purchase. So honestly with the warranty issue poor handbook instructions and its inability to last more than 2 years i will probably steer clear of whirlpool when replacing

    Solid good quality oven

    4/5
    Works well. Gets up to temperature very quickly which is excellent. Like the fact you can turn light on and off. Would have been good to have two wire racks rather than one and then a tray.

    Good features for this price point

    4/5
    Whirlpool appears to be an Italian brand and despite the 10 year guarantee for Italians, the UK guarantee is only 2 years. The reasons I bought this model were as follows: A+ (2014) energy efficiency rating, child lock, pyrolytic cleaning & quadruple glazing, all for the right price. It was the only oven with these features at this price point. It comes with telescopic runners (and plus point) but the child lock is for the control panel only not the door (slight downside). Controls aren't intuitive but neither are they complex. Overall very satisfied with the features at this price point.

    Good oven

    4/5
    Good oven but it took us a few days to figure it out how to use it. Even the basic functionality (time & temperature) is not straightforward to set. Delivery and installation by AO excellent.

    Great oven for the price

    Lovely oven. Easy to use with lots of helpful tips along the way. Just wish the grill heated up a bit quicker.

    Super new whirlpool oven

    4/5
    Been using for only one week, super looking oven and has performed well so far.Shame it comes with only one set of sliding rails, but haved had a moan to Whirlpool, the control panel where the on button is does not illuminate making it hard to see in a small galley kitchen.

    Still getting to grips with the dials and functions on this. It’s been trial and error unfortunately. Couple of niggles, But I’m sure we will master it soon.
