Lots of space, very easy to use, useful settings, very well designed. Very pleased

Primarily the oven works great, very nicely made, simple, not complicated. But, depending on how high the oven is installed in your kitchen, you will not be able to read the dials. I am 6', its perfect, my wife is 5'3" and cannot see the numbers and symbols on the dials. If you install this at floor level you will not have a problem, but if elevated beware that it may not be the ideal oven for you!

Fitted easily, works very well. Extremely pleased with purchase. Looks fantastic, sturdy and good quality.

The cooker itself is top quality as was our previous model,my only complaint is that the temperature settings are on the inside of the controls and my partner who is small has to stand on a chair to set them ( who thought of this ridiculous idea?)

Only had this oven 2-3 weeks, so still getting used to it. One difference is that there is an vent along the top of the lower oven door which blows right in ones eyes until the lower oven door is properly open. Not a problem when you get used to it. It's a replacement for a previous AEG oven of almost identical design, though we've not yet used the (new to us) catalytic cleaning facility. I've had no problems so far though the rack supports are a little differently placed and require forethought when baking in the top oven. We immediately purchased an additional rack for the oven, as only two are supplied. There is a third rack provided in the form of a roasting tray and accompanying wire grid which will only fit in the tray. AEG suggest in the manual that this can be used as an oven shelf to bake and roast, or "as a pan to collect fat". A little inconvenient if one wants two traditional racks in the lower oven and another in the upper, which I do quite frequently. This particular AEG model has been criticised for having the temperatures and icons printed on the dials, rather than on the backplate, which makes it difficult to select them as they are then above eye level for most people, and certainly me at 5 foot tall. Enquiries suggested that the model of the same number advertising a "brushed steel finger print resistant" backplate would be the one with markings on the backplate, but this isn't invariably mentioned on web page illustrations or in the specifications. I had to order blind, but thankfully I received the one I required with numbers on the backplate. Hopefully that is the newer fashion and the other style (much complained about) is now being phased out.

Initial observations As someone else mentioned, difficult to read the dials as the settings are on the side/top of the knobs so need to be tall to know what settings are. I am 5'8" and had to stand on tip toe if oven is set at eye level. Only came with 2 shelves, really needs a third. Grill pan came without handle.

We have only used this oven a few time’s. It heats up quickly, cooks evenly and it is quiet.

Intended to replace an AEG oven that had failed after 17 yrs of use. Quality, as ever,a has reduced over time but probably not noticeable without the direct comparison. Control settings and temperatures are on the side of the retractable knobs at the top. Difficult to view clearly as compared to a dial arrangement
