"Bought with new kitchen, to replace my previous 26yr old AEG double oven, which I loved from the beginning hence choosing AEG again.
This oven is badly designed settings are on the side of knobs very difficult to see, I am disabled and find standing on a stool to set dials difficult. The main oven has yet to cook a cake to my satisfaction, I like to bake and have a reputation for good cakes this oven has not made one in 4/12 since I bought it
Awaiting second engineer visit."

"Temperature should have digits on the face of the knob not on the side. "

"This oven replaced my 30year old oven (yes 30 years!) and its wonderful. heats up in good time, cooks evenly and is quiet to run. Looks fab in my new kitchen and everyone comments on how nice and modern it looks."

"The good - heats up fairly quickly cooks very nicely. Although no faster than our previous 8 year old oven, although I would guess it is probably more efficient. It looks lovely, a nice steel and glass finish. No harder to clean than any oven
However it has three major design flaws. Two irritating and one potentially dangerous.
The first irritating one is the settings are printed in grey on the sides of the silver dials, so nearly impossible to see in anything other than bright light. and as the dials are quite high my fairly average height 5'6" wife cannot see the top of the dial so has to guess its in the right position.
Secondly the shelves all have a lip making it difficult to slide dishes/plates onto, and impossible to slide them off. Not a major problem if your dish has a handle. very difficult if it doesn't (pizza or baking tray for instance).
Thirdly and more dangerously while you are cooking when you open the main oven door the fan blows a cloud of scalding hot steam directly in your face. This has scalded the face and hands of three users so far.
We would not consider an AEG oven again."
