Ovens: good - grill: retrograde step

"Bought this oven because of our "Yikes - our existing oven has stopped working and it's nearly Christmas". We needed something to slot in as a direct replacement and chose this - mainly due to looks - but, having had friends who opted for a similar-looking but much cheaper brand - which broke after a couple of years - we wanted something with a good chance of lasting.

First impressions - very sturdy build. Everything feels solid- and heavy. The doors are quite a heave to open. They're "soft-close" too - it takes some time to get used to closing the door partially and allowing the soft-close mechanism to do it's thing, if you push it the thing will slam unceremoniously shut. The knobs are solid and positive.

There are good and bad things about the oven. The main thing is that it cooks well. The door insulation is particularly good - when cooking without fan it's virtually silent. The telescopic rails in the big oven are great - they are (hopefully) stronger than they look - so much easier than having to delve into the oven to retrieve food.

There are some irritations - mainly done by comparing our (15 year) old old oven. The old oven beeped when it got up to temperature - this one doesn't - you've just got to pre-heat for 5 minutes and hope. The bluetooth app is almost comically bad - really - it's just a waste of time. A Wifi option would be better - switch the oven on when out shopping - but, unless you stand within a few feet of the oven with your phone it just disconnects all the time.

The final one is the one that's actually most irritating. The grill. The old oven had a "mesh" style top grill that heated up in a couple of seconds. This one is back to the "iron rod" type - which takes ages to heat up - and must cost a fortune in wasted electricity. It is the case that if I'd known I wouldn't have bought this oven.

If you can live with the grill issue (if you've always had this type of grill you'll find it OK) then this oven is fine. Well built and works well as an oven (or two). Hopefully it'll last - certainly looks over-built, which is good.

Door does not close completely on main oven

"Had this oven fitted 12/9/21, had engineer out 21/10/21 and 2/12/21, main oven door not closing, causing condensation on kitchen units. That will eventually damage them if I keep cooking. The lovely Engineer just keeps changing hinges on door! Think the oven is faulty and want an exchange, the repair people say contact AO, they say contact Stoves, just going round in circles. Do not buy this oven."
