Advantages: Fan oven, grill, programmer, self-cleaning back walls, warranty

Disadvantages: built in, bad bulbs, slow top oven

The oven is BRILLIANT. We chose this over the others because of efficency, style, and warranty. First, let's get on with what it does - cook food. The bottom fan oven is brilliant at cooking food, it cooks quickly and evenly. It does not take long to heat up either. The top oven, when functioning as an oven is OK. It takes a long time to heat up but retains heat well once it is on. The food is cooked evenly, and also a large range of temperatures makes it better for some things than the bottom oven. The grill function is very good, it heats up quick and grills the food quickly. If there are any splashes on the back, the surface is self-celaning (this is true for both top and bottom ovens).

The bottom oven has plenty of racks for food, you could fit 4 pizzas in or 3 relatively high trays or tins in. The noise is barely anything, for an oven, but for some reason - is still noisy after you turn it off. (Presumeably to cool it down)

The programmer has everthing you would expect: clock, timer. But however it also has the clever function of turning on the oven by itself. The oven will cook the food for a set amount of time, and have it finished by a user-set time. After the cooking time elapses you need not to turn it off, it does this itself. Just think, you could put a casserole in there and set it to cook while you are out at work to serve or eat when you get back

Summary: Buy it if you can, but go for the best one, because there are better.
