Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Two ovens so you can cook supper and a cake.
Bad points:: The top is easy to clean being new, but I am worried when it gets older the bump in the middle of the four rings will cause problems. Also for the top oven you have to keep the nob pressed in while pressing the ignition button, so a two handed job.

Sue, Tunbridge Wells Family cook

Score 2.0/10

Good points:: Good oven spaces
Bad points:: should have a tinted glass lid to hide black burner and pan rests;
burners too close to one another so pans either touch or don't fit when more than three burners needed;
pan rests/frames do not support some smaller pans evenly (ie balanced);
would not recommend.

Mark, Wolverhampton

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Easy to use and easy to keep clean and the controls are well placed. Grill gets hotter than my last cooker and takes a bit of practise but food cooks well but in comparison it is a Rolls Royce among affordable cookersin this price range. The outside stays cool which is great when you have kids around and the light that stays on in the main oven while cooking is a great idea.
Overall i would definately recommend.
Bad points:: Grill pan handle a little fiddly but there are no other bad points that I can see at the moment.

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Looks good, works well
Bad points:: Before purchase read comments by other users who seem to dislike the grill pan handle. It's one of the most secure of any cooker I have previously owned. If can't be bothered to follow the instructions it is a bit fiddly.

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.
Type of self cleaning	Catalytic
Self-cleaning ovens can come with catalytic liners or pyrolytic programmes. Calalytic liners are the bumpy surfaces which line the inside walls of the oven. They absorb the food and grease and break it down so that the oven is easier to clean. Pyrolytic programmes run for a couple of hours and burn off all the grime in your oven at temperatures up to 500°C. As it gets so hot, the oven door usually locks so that all you need to do is sweep up the ash that’s left over at the end.
