"Was nervous about spending so much on an oven but after reading the reviews decided to go for it. Not disappointed at all. It not only looks good but heats up quickly and so far has cooked/baked everything to perfection. The meat probe works brilliantly. It does take a while to cool down afterwards with the fan running long after you have turned it off but this is a very minor issue. Would highly recommend. "

"This is the first proper new oven I have ever bought. I've cooked in dozens of different ovens but wanted one that could reliably bake cakes as well as be a general all rounder. I plumped for the top of the range double oven (there are single ovens in the range with more features). Like my title, my first reaction, and every time I've cooked anything since the first time is wow. Without exaggeration, the food actually tastes better, mainly because I think, it cooks so evenly. Crumbed fish comes out beautifully even. For a Roast chicken it cooked it with such a gorgeous crispy skin that I even ate some (I'm not supposed to). This is coming from pulling soggy skin off previous roast chickens. There was no adornment by the way, no butter, no oil etc, just paprika and salt. I had roast potatoes on the top shelf (chicken on 2) put in when there was 30 min to go and they came out lovely and crisp.
I've used the probe to make the perfect lamb and beef roasts. Simply set the temperature you want the roast to be, set the temperature and forget. Once the roast reaches the temperature, the oven switches off simple as that, no timing and constant checking to see if it's right. The beef roast (just a Lidl special), was so moist that my partner, who never normally has much to say, stopped mid mouthful to compliment me on the roast - I have never had that reaction in 7 years of cooking for him...
The grill works quickly to brown cheese and I imagine it makes delicious toasties. The top oven is perfect for smaller daily dishes and the bigger oven for roasts and multi levels of dishes.
I'm not a professional chef by any stretch but I have never had such great results so that I feel proud of the cooking (when it's not me really) and I'm constantly looking for new things to cook. I'm yet to bake! That's next.
I cannot recommend this oven highly enough and you will really not regret buying one. The manual is a little dense but it's well worth reading any following slavishly, the results speak for themselves."

"Excellent oven. Expect it to last. Have always owned Neff. More functions than I need."

"Turned up on first thing in delivery slot and installed relatively easily, although it's pretty heavy so make sure there are a couple of you! Works well so far, but yet to try many of the features. Plastic turning knobs are a bit cheap to the touch but apart from that everything else seems fine.
One minor issue with the pyrolytic function not detecting the shelf rails had been taken out, easily resolved by re-installing and removing again. "

"There is only one telescopic fully extending tray in the main oven but you can order additional if you want. The universal grill pan does not have a grilling rack. No telescopic runners in the top oven which we tend to use the most.

"Enormously flexible in both ovens and yet with straightforward and clear controls and a great understated design."
