Mini oven

Well made easy to use good price point

Tricky product, sadly

It is big enough to accommodate 3 standard loaf tins, or a standard baking tray. The knobs are badly designed: the 'pointer' is so discreet it can't be seen clearly from the front, the time divisions (15, 30 etc) are separated by three pretty, meaningless dots (there should be 2, indicating 5 minute gaps), and the temperatures (90, 140,180, 230, only) have no indication of other temperatures. Others have mentioned issues with lack of temperature control over the hot plates. The other problem is the tiny 1m lead.. you need a surface with space all around and a socket 1m away..a tall order. There is no light to indicate power connection until the timer is switched on and no indicator when it is up to temperature. I would have adapted around these issues however, after giving it time to acclimatise to my house, unpacking, giving it the required 10 min at 230°C to burn off manufacturing chemicals (as instructed), I trialled it with a small pizza at 180°C after 10 min it wasn't cooked, so i extended the time.. and 3 minutes later it stopped working altogether. So beyond this I can not say how good it might actually be with other functions.

Good so far

Bought this a few weeks ago , to replace a normal sized Electric oven. Hoping this will prove more economic since we rarely have full cooked dinners. Seemed wasteful to use an oven to heat a pizza or a pie. It's quite big so make sure you have room and be mindfully that the two Electric hobs are about shoulder height to me (165cm tall) so folk with bad shoulders need to consider this. Can't speak for longevity but it comes with usual guarantees. One issue is a short power cable, perhaps less than 2ft long, so that may limit where you put it, if you don't have an extension lead. Unfortunately there's nothing I could find bigger than 24ltrs capacity until this one at 42ltrs. Cooks well, although I haven't mastered the hobs yet, which seem to be either too hot or too cold, but then, I'm only a man, so I expect it will take time.

Great anywhere

I got this as my main cooker had broken down till I could get it fixed this was the best item I've got that's really good to cook a hole chicken and have a crispy skin and so juicy meat just great for roasting and cooing for small amounts of food it's great. Just one thing that is a bit of a let down is you couldn't see what your cooking on the hobs as the hight and have to take off to see if it's done but just got a table that's lower to combat that still great value for money.

Perfect for a small kitchen

Excellent product and easy to use. I would prefer more intermediate temperature settings (between those actually marked on the dial) but otherwise this is a great product which I can highly recommend.

Thank heavens

At last found a mini oven with hobs that works well. Am happy with its look and ease of use and that you don't have to put it on timer every time to use it. Good size oven and rotisserie is great.

It will do!

I bought this as I’ve recently moved house and we don’t have an oven or hob for a while. The oven is not too bad for a non-fan assisted oven, things take longer to cook, but they are cooked in the end which is the main thing! The hobs however take forever to heat up and only have one temperature so it’s really hard to cook things like rice that need a gentle heat. It works though, which is all I really need right now!
