It's important to check whether a product has an Energy Star rating before buying a new oven. This is a great sign that the oven has been thoroughly tested to ensure energy efficiency.
In contrast to freestanding models, single wall ovens are placed at eye level, and frequently feature well-considered extras like an pyrolytic cleaning feature. Our top choice is the Zanussi ZBO740, is ideal for cooking with the family thanks to its gliding telescopic rails and clever capabilities.
2. Hotpoint HO606
The Hotpoint Ho606 isn't the least expensive integrated oven on our list, but it comes with an impressive range of functions. It scored well in our test labs for its ease of use, with clear display icons and audio prompts to help you to set up the oven. The Steam Clean and pyrolytic settings also proved effective in removing stubborn grease staining. Its gliding telescopic runners also allow you to remove hot trays securely without crouching. This model features a warming drawer that is ideal to keep leftovers warm and plates warm while you cook dinner.
Although a single oven may have less functions than a double oven, it's typically less expensive and doesn't require as much installation work. It's also possible to install in a smaller area, making it a great option for older homes or kitchens with a limited space. Blanchfield warns, however, that a single oven has an inferior heating surface and is harder to manage. This is why it is not a good option for managing multiple foods at different temperatures, which you can do by using a double oven that has separate cooking chambers.
A smart oven can be a lifesaver for busy households, but a lot of models can be difficult to comprehend. If you have a large family, it's important to select an oven with an easy-to-use interface that can be used even by children. It must be able to store and recall your favourite recipes with the click of an arrow, and be compatible with apps for recipe suggestions and reminders.
The addition of an oven to your kitchen will make it more useful and convenient but be careful not to overspend. There are ovens with everything from a temperature gauge that is digital to an intelligent cooking mode that uses grill and microwave to produce crisp and delicious results in a shorter amount of time. We asked the experts of buying from AO, AppliancesDirect and Currys what additional features they thought were worth investing in.
