"We're very happy with our purchase which replaced an old 14 year old oven. Installation was fairly straightforward (some adjustment of the existing brackets that housed our old oven). When switched on the oven is really quiet - so much so that I initially opened the oven door to check it was actually heating up (it was!). We're also very pleased that in these energy-conscious times it is AA rated for efficiency. The only minor downside is that the dot on the oven dials is the same colour as the dial itself, so sometimes its hard to see what temperature you have set the oven to - however I plan to remedy this with a Sharpie pen so that I can see the dot more easily!"
" Quick and efficient delivery. Fitting instructions are vague but any reasonably practical person can resolve the process. Looks very smart and build qulity appears to be good. Excellent fan oven. The two grill functions appear to work well. The top oven function is by the outer grill element operation and not a conventional concealed element oven.
Most annoyingly the grill pan was not provided with a trivet and handle.... not yet resolved.
But over all I like this oven, hence 4 stars."

"Beware - this built under oven does not come with mounting brackets - unlike virtually every other built under oven on the planet - and I have installed dozens so if you are replacing an oven that does not have brackets you can re use, you are in trouble.
I originally thought the delivery guys had accidentally taken the brackets away along with the packaging but after a protracted phone call with AO and Hisense they confirmed that it does not come with the brackets - even though they are mentioned specifically on the product installation guide.
The person at Hisense was useless and clearly had no idea what I was talking about. She suggested it would just hang on the 2 mounting screws which is obviously nonsense and then as a fallback said the brackets are an "option" but they don't sell them.
You honestly couldn't make it up.
The problem is that the brackets are next to impossible to buy separately because of course every manufacturer except Hisense includes them with the oven.
I did find some in the end after 2 hours of googling and phoning around, and ended up spending £30 to spend on top of the price of the oven and had a 60 mile aborted round trip to install it.
It's left me frustrated, cross and out of pocket. The oven may well prove be good - who knows, but I would never buy one again. Personally I htink AO needs to do a better job of assessing these products before agreeing to stock them.

"Easy to use first time out, clearly marked and heat directed perfectly.
Looks great and more importantly works."
"Nice looking but controls hard to read have to get down on my knees to see them the temperature reached light very small and instruction book not helpful no diagram of controls. Oven working fine though."
