Very disappointing! I bought this to replace the previous Belling cooker which finally failed after 20 years of excellent service. What a mistake. I used 2 separate oven thermometers to test. The Main Oven:- The temperature control scale is only marked every 50 degrees with no gradations anywhere so anything between those figures is pure guesswork. If I set the temperature to 200 degrees, The light goes out at 150 degrees and the temperature reaches 175 after 30 minutes but goes no higher. To cook at 200 I have to set it to approximately 225 and wait at least 45 minutes before starting. The temperature light is so dim you have to stand directly in front of it to see it. The Grill:- Very slow warm up as with the main oven. Trying to grill 4 fish fingers in the centre of the grill pan using the half grill resulted is some being burnt and others part cooked. I also attempted to grill 2 thin chicken breasts on maximum setting for full grill and eventually after 20 minutes ended up with 2 insipid white offerings with no browning at all.

This Belling replaced a Neff double oven which needed replacing. So far the oven has performed well with a roast and some bread. But I am not happy with the exterior finish. The door pulls are a shiny, coated, chrome finish material, which I imagine will not be very hard wearing. I was expecting a more robust, metal finish. Also the temperature dials do not allow accurate points between temperature settings. I have to approximate a setting of , for example, 160 ° , because the only markers in that range are 150° and 200°.

This is a really nice-looking double oven, and extremely good value for money, but we had to have the electrician back to sort out the terrifically noisy fan - turned out the back panel is so flimsy that the slightest obstacle pushing against it - in this case the power cable behind it - intrudes on the fan, which sets off a massive vibration. Easily solved, once Karl had worked out what was happening, but annoying. And I was a bit shocked to discover the grill pan comes *without* a handle - apparently very common these days among oven manufacturers. That seems to me to be an unnecessarily cheap cut-back. On the other hand, the oven itself cooks like a dream: the grill heats quickly and browns evenly, I love the bright light in the main oven which enables you to see exactly what's happening and the temperature control appears to be spot-on. It will be interesting to review again in a year and see if I still love it, but right now, based on a week's use, had it not been for the fan issue and the lack of grill pan handle, it would have been 5 stars.

Excellent product, looks fab, really quiet and works well, Happy Cooking x

Our replacement oven looks good, but we haven't had it long enough to give a full assessment of how well it functions. I can however draw comparisons with our old double oven - 1 The user manual is nowhere near as comprehensive.or helpful. 2, the ovens will be harder to keep clean without the self cleaning panels and I miss the tray which covered the grill area and protected the top and elements from fat splashes. .All things new have to be got used to though (especially the touch screen!) and I'm sure the oven will be as good as it looks.

The oven does take some time to heat up but (now the fan is fixed!) is very quiet. It arrives without a dedicated grill tray (why?). Whatever they say about tastes not transferring is a complete nonsense. It also doesn't cook evenly, despite the fan - you need to turn loaves half way through, for example. The buttons are cheap plastic and I can't really see them lasting. The temperature gauges are in increments of 50° which is unhelpful for the dyscalculaic. The light in the top oven seems to have a mind of its own - at least, I can't figure out when or not it's supposed to be lit. The instruction manual is of very little use. Have now had the oven fully operational for four days and have put it though its paces in that time. Both ovens are fortunately capacious and so far easy to clean. If you're so inclined, the glass from the door can be removed for cleaning. I like the shelf feature which means they can't just slide out. That the grill pan doubles up as the main oven drip tray is annoying.

This product replaced a different model The original was double the price when researched This oven works just as good

We bought this double oven to replace our single oven and broken integral microwave , great product and a great price , I thoroughly recommend !
