Good points:: Very easy to use, much faster to warm up than my old Siemens electric oven. It is also extremely quiet for a fan oven.

Jon, Derby Occasional cook

Score 3.0/10

Good points:: The oven cooks perfectly, no complaints at all on its functionality. Its easy to use, not over complicated and just what we were looking for
Bad points:: After 12 months of being installed alot of the low grade stainless used to make this product has started to rust in spots and the last time i checked good grade stainless was not magnetic. The anti mark coating is also coming away around the top of the door and the instrument panel, which we suspect could be heat related. The alarm timer has also developed an intermittant fault. When the oven has been on for a small amount of time it works perfectly, but after extended cooking, i.e a roast the alarm timer can only be heard by getting very close to the oven resulting in one or two kitchen disasters. My only other gripe is the amount of moisture which seems to flood out of the door when opening.

Helena, Basingstoke Family cook

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: It's good value for money and does the basics pretty well. Looks good and has 2 shelves which was a requirement for us.
Bad points:: On the down side it seems to retain moisture/ steam, which can build up in a puddle at the bottom of the oven. Also, in comparison to other ovens, once the cooking time is up and everyhthing turned off, the fan continues for ages - really don't know why this is, seems a bit strange.

Mark, Malvern Family cook

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Uncomplicated design with a wide choice of settings that does what it says. Quiet, versatile and effective without unnecessary embellishment.
Bad points:: Only that the instructions don't mention that to fast forward on the timer, you have to keep pressure on the button.

Good points:: very easy to use controls
very easy to clean especially like the removable grill protector

Bad points:: not exactly a bad point - the cooling fan comes on after cooking to obviously cool the oven down but everyone keeps telling me i have left the oven on but we are getting used to it.

Paul, Bath Family cook

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Quick to heat. Plenty of accessories. Good service from Baumatic (we had an unusual problem which was sorted quickly)
Bad points:: Plastic knobs. Cooling fan operates during and after finished cooking which seems to affect our pork crackling!

Product Features

Construction	Built-in
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Fuel	Electric
Oven cavity	Single
Main heating type	Convection or conventional
Conventional ovens heat from the bottom so the top of the oven will be slightly hotter than the bottom. This is useful when you’re cooking lots of different dishes at a time. However, they do take a little longer than fan ovens to heat up. Convection (or fan) ovens circulate the air so that you get an even temperature throughout the oven. They are quicker to heat up which means they save on energy and time. Multifunction (convection or conventional) ovens give you the flexibility to use different methods of cooking. They usually have both fan and conventional settings as well as pizza settings that will only cook from the bottom, giving you a crispy pizza, or top-only cooking that is very useful for browning.
Secondary heating type	Grill
Energy efficiency	A
