My Story ----------- I privately rent my home and there was an oven in place when I arrived unfortunately it soon packed in and I was forced to buy a new one. To be honest I thought I’d just get the cheapest one that had a grill, oven but looked ok. With a New baby I couldn't afford an expense oven. Now that I have received and used the item I am so pleased to find that BUYING A CHEAPER PRODUCT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS YOUR MORE EXPENSIVE MAKES.
Design --------- You can buy this product in both silver and white I choose white having a non modern kitchen
The item is small but perfectly formed. When I first received it I thought the cooking trays I had in my old oven would never fit inside but to my surprise the inside is quite
deceivingly large. You can easily fit your average size baking trays in with ease and there is quite a depth.
The product has two shelves in the oven that are easily removed if you want to cook a larger item like a turkey. The grill has one shelf and comes with a tray and detachable handle.
The item is easy to move with it being small and quite light. The dials are straight forward with clear numbers, there are also lights showing when the oven grill and hobs are on.
Another great point is the oven has a light so you can see your products cooking inside.
Assembly ----------- The oven is very easy to wire into your electrical point although you do need the cable to attach the oven to the power point. Although I would never recommend someone installing it without an electrician I must admit I did and found it very easy and straight forward to do, as there is a clear diagram on the back next to the connection point. In fact the diagram is as simple as it looks although I did check with an electrician relative that I was looking at it right before I attempted the installation.
The instruction book is easy to read but the product is so easy to use all you need is common sense.
Functions ----------- It has a fan assisted oven which works well and warms up quite quickly the only negative point is, as with most smaller ovens you may have to cook your products just a couple of minutes longer than stated on the packets although I don’t know if that is an issue with the oven or fact that most products give a general estimated cooking time.
The hobs also heat up quite quickly along with the grill. The space in the grill could be a little larger but like the oven you can easily alter the shelves.
Durability ----------- I have only had the item for a few months and so far no problems, the door clicks shut but I have not noticed any ware and tare on this or any other part yet. The item is easy to clean both the enamel coating and glass doors and the handles feel sturdy and are easy to grasp. I use the oven at least twice a day as I enjoy making cakes and cooking and so far its held up well.
Cost ----- I paid £237 for it as it was from a catalogue- Littlewoods, that’s not to bad as I had free delivery and although I have seen it priced as cheap as £175 online there is usually a £20 delivery charge. If your looking to spread the cost I think the catalogue price is reasonable.
Conclusion -------------- It’s a reasonably priced oven that does just what it states, the outside is small if your looking to save on space but there’s plenty of room on the inside. We are a family of three and it suites our needs down to the ground. You can purchase an extended guarantee but I think its so cheap compared to most its not worth it. I would recommend this product to anyone especially families with a small kitchen or limited space.
