A really disappointing oven
1/5
Really disappointed with this oven. After 4 months of use, including Xmas dinner, I've put it through its paces and it consistently underperforms in pretty much every way. The induction hob is so counter-intuitive to use, it's maddening; most inductions are a bit tricksy to get the hang of at first, but the dials on this one just don't make sense, and are hard to control; the 'small' rings are also both barely smaller than the 2 regular size one, which means its wasteful of energy. The ovens, though, are worse. The fan oven takes an age to reach its temperature, and generates far more condensation while cooking foods than any previous fan oven I've owned, meaning roasts are much less crispy. The two standard ovens don't reach anything like the required temperatures (I've tested them with a temperature gauge) - they can't seem to get much higher than 190. There are also not enough oven shelves for 3 ovens. The grill takes an age to heat, and doesn't have a half grill option so again, wasteful of power; the grill pan which comes with it is tiny (barely half the size of the shelf it has to sit on to be used) and doesn't have a detachable handle, meaning you have to remove it with an oven glove rather than sliding it out. This oven is mid-range rather than cheap - and should be much better at this price point. Oh, and the fan oven developed a fault a month into purchase and had to be repaired on site. I'm deeply disappointed in this overall and wouldn't buy a leisure range again.
