It's important to check whether a product has an Energy Star rating before buying an appliance. These are a good indicator that the oven has been tested to ensure energy efficiency.
In contrast to freestanding models, single wall ovens are hung at eye level and usually feature well-considered extras like an pyrolytic cleaning feature. Our top choice, the Zanussi ZBO740, is ideal for cooking with the family thanks to its telescopic rails that glide and smart capabilities.
2. Hotpoint HO606
The Hotpoint HO606 integrated oven isn't the most costly on our list but it offers a broad array of features. It scored highly in our lab tests for its ease of use, with clear display icons and audio prompts to help you to set up the oven. The pyrolytic and Steam Clean settings also proved effective in getting rid of stubborn grease staining. The telescopic runners' gliding motions let you remove hot trays safely without having to bend. This model also has an easy warming drawer, ideal for keeping plates warm while you prepare dinner or cook leftovers.
While a single oven offers fewer functions than a double oven, it's often cheaper and does not require as much installation work. It could also fit into a smaller space which makes it a great choice for older homes and kitchens that don't have enough room for a double range. Blanchfield warns, however, that a single range has less heating surface and can be harder to control. This makes it a bad choice for cooking multiple foods at different temperatures. A double oven with separate chambers is a better option.
A smart oven can be a lifesaver to busy households, but a lot of models are difficult to comprehend. It's important to choose one with a simple interface that's easy for even young children to operate, especially when you have a family. It must be able to store and recall your favourite recipes with the press of a button, and be compatible with apps to help you prepare your recipes and remind you.
A few additions to your oven can make it more useful and convenient, but don't overspend. There are ovens that have everything from a digital thermometer to a smart mode that utilizes the microwave and grill for crisp and delicious results in just 30 minutes. We talked to experts in buying at AO, Appliances Direct and Currys about the additional features they think are worth the investment.
