"Very happy with this oven.
Looks great and the controls are very tactile and easy to use.
The lights inside are very bright and make it easy to see what's cooking with the virtually clear glass. It's also very quiet compared to our old oven and it cooks everything very well and even. I was also pleased that there is a grill in both top and bottom oven as I thought there was just one in the top"
"So far it's early days, but everything works as it should. Our food gets cooked evenly and quickly. Both ovens and grills heat up quickly and are more than spacious enough for our needs as a family of five... whilst also both being A rated energy efficient.
My wife is happy... therefore I'm happy :)"
"Excellent product, customer service second to non, we had a fault with the oven it was damaged in transit, and AO replaced the oven within 48 hours. fantastic service would recommend ."
"Very disappointed with this oven. It takes a long time to pre heat and to cook food. It looks cheap in appearance with poor quality materials used. The insides of the top oven scratched the first time I slid the grill pan in. "

"A great reasonably priced oven! Delivered on time and fitted. Old one taken away! Great service. "
"This oven gets a middling review from me - it's not terrible, it's not fantastic, but it's a nice oven.
The good stuff: It looks nice, it wasn't that expensive, the controls are simple, it comes with a grill pan and a (slightly awkward) handle, and it cooks well. Food browns evenly, yes it blows air at you but it's a fan oven, they all do. It also has a grill element in the top of the main oven, so you can get a really good crispy top without having to cram your roast in the upper cavity. The windows are also huge so you can see in easily and drool over your food as it cooks.
The bad stuff: IT REALLY SMELLS! Do not ignore the reviews that say it smells when new. It really does. I am not kidding. We ran it empty and at max output for an hour as instructed, the whole house stank for days and I got a headache. It is easing off with use and I have hopes that soon my kitchen will smell like food again and not burning chemicals, but I feel like it took commitment on Hoover's part to make it so bad... The shelves are also really not the best and are rather springy, but I saved the shelves from my old oven which I will be using instead.
TL DR: Overall this is a good budget oven, it has lots of cooking functions, but you can't use them until you've burned off whatever chemicals they coated it with and got over the smell."
