This is my third Stoves oven and I am not impressed with this one. It takes 20 minutes to get to temperature. The clock is not visible unless you press on the control panel, not much use if you are at the other side of the room. It is not visible during cooking. You can only set the timer before setting the oven to come on, not during cooking as with previous models. This is my major gripe with it. Even the instruction book does not say this. I contacted Stoves and all the assistant could do was read from the manual that I had. I had done a lot of research on ovens and narrowed it down to 3. Chose this one as I had been happy with previous models. The description misrepresents the functions. Not happy!

We are still waiting to use ours - it looks lovely, but the door does not fully close and we have to wait for another 3 weeks (we got it 2 weeks ago) for a Stoves engineer. No joy trying to contact AO to send a replacement either. It’s the first time we’ve used AO and not impressed with the service.

Only used this oven a few times since installation, but it seems pretty good. My old one was very noisy compared to the Stoves. The controls are OK, not really very intuitive, but I soon got used to them. The timer, however is a different matter, and I've still not worked it out yet. Setting a time of 1 and a half hours should be easy, but it just stars counting down from 9 hours? The instruction manual is not much help, I would expect a lot better from a British company. So, apart from having to use a manual timer, I do like this oven, especially as it has the Pyrolytic cleaning system, which should make cleaning far less of a chore. At the price, a good buy.

Good product, like the sliding shelf. The grill is hotter than our previous, we need to get used to it. The instruction manual is a bit limited.I

Very pleased with oven, instruction manual ould be better

Smart, practical and good value. Some of the functions could benefit from being a little more flexible.

I was expecting to buy a medium to high quality oven for the price, however some functionality elements just seem a bit amateur. The warming up of the oven takes about 15-20 mins to get to 180, was hoping for more like 5 as this is what it would take one a third of the cost to warm up. But it does cook the food evenly and the digital display means you’re not ‘guessing’ that your dial is on 180 degrees etc. It only beeps once when it’s finished and I’ve missed my completed food a few times. So overall I think this is a solid oven, but more in the £250-300 price category, rather than the £500-600. I wish I’d now gone a bit higher for a much better oven.

The instructions are terrible still haven't figured out how to use the timer . Followed instructions to the letter which didn't work have been pulling my hair out !!!! Not what I was hoping for when paying £509. Apart from above it's a good oven .
