"I absolutely love my new oven in every way except one. It would have received five stars for every category except for the fact that I am not tall enough to read the settings. I am 5'4" and I simply cannot see the top of the dial. I have to stand at the side and try and guess when I have reached the required temperature/function. Otherwise, perfect! "

"PROS
This is a smart looking oven with a black glass finish. I like the fact that there are several different cooking types available, some of which I haven't had on previous ovens. I particularly like the "fan grilling" option which combines the main fan oven with a grill to give a rotisserie effect. As well as using this for joints of meat, it's also handy for cooking things like sausages as you can put them in the oven, close the door and they come out nice and browned without the hassle and mess of cooking them under a conventional grill.
I like the metal handle which comes with the grill as it looks like it will be long lasting and easy to clean.
I haven't used it yet but I'm looking forward to trying out the 'fan only' option which is meant to be good for defrosting delicate foodstuffs like cheesecakes. I think it could be handy for when you have people round to dinner and forget to defrost a pudding in time!
CONS
I'm not keen on the temperature control dial for the main oven which has no 'click' which makes it a bit vague when setting the temperature. The multifunction dial is also a bit clunky. It works fine but is not at slick as I would have expected it to be. (You can see both these controls demonstrated clearly in my video which accompanies this writen review).
