"Been wanting a Neff oven for ages and when my old oven packed up I took the opportunity to order one.
The hide and slide door is just perfect for my tiny kitchen - such a relief not to have to worry about tripping when the door is open.
There's so many other small things to appreciate as well. Just the fact the dials pop out when in use and push in when not is brilliant - means I never have to fret about accidentally leaving the oven on, as I know if the dials are pushed in that it must be switched off. The timer is super easy to use and has a notable, but nicely inoffensive alarm that will turn off itself after several beeps, so I don't feel the need to rush to switch it off immediately.
The oven itself is also excellent. It's various settings are nicely explained in the manual with recommendations for different dishes. I have already cooked many of my favourites with great success - and this time without burning them on top, as my old oven tended to do from getting too hot! Circo-Roast setting is fab for veggies. Though I will say, while the manual recommends the basic settings for bread baking, I cooked some soda bread the other day on the CircoTherm gentle setting as an experiment and it turned out the best version of the recipe I've ever made - deliciously crusty (without being burnt!) and nice and soft but fully cooked inside.
My only sorrow is that I would have liked to have a digital display of the oven temperature like some of the later models have. But for me that's a luxury more than necessity, as the twist dial for setting the temperature is perfectly adequate, and as the later models were unavailable at the time of purchase I decided I would rather have a workable oven now than wait an unknown time for one unnecessary feature. If you do a lot of baking that requires exact temperatures then the later models might serve you better, but for general home cooking/baking I'm finding the twist dial just fine.
All in all just a fantastic product. Highly recommend. Very much looking forward to using it for our Christmas meal this year. "

"The Neff ovens large door slides smoothly out of the way,so hopefully no more burned arms! The dials can be pressed in when the oven is not in use, so the front is easier to wipe clean. "
