It's worth checking if a model has an Energy Star rating before buying a new oven. This is a great sign that it has been rigorously tested to ensure energy efficiency.
Contrary to freestanding models wall ovens are hung at eye level and often come with well-thought-out features like an pyrolytic cleaning feature. Zanussi ZBO740 is our top choice for families who cook together, due to its telescopic rails which glide and its nifty features.
2. Hotpoint HO606
The Hotpoint Ho606 isn't exactly the most expensive integrated oven on our list, but it does offer an impressive array of features. It scored well in our test labs for its ease of use and clear display icons and audio prompts to help set up the oven. Its pyrolytic as well as steam clean settings made light work of tough grease stains as well. The telescopic runners' gliding motions allow you to take hot trays off safely without crouching. Electric single ovens has an insulated warming drawer that is ideal to keep leftovers warm or plates warm while cooking dinner.
A single oven could be less feature-rich than a double oven, but it is often cheaper and requires less installation. It can also be able to fit into a smaller space which makes it a great choice for older homes and kitchens that don't have enough space for a double range. However, Blanchfield warns that a single oven usually has a smaller surface area to heat and is more difficult to control. This makes it a poor choice for cooking multiple foods at different temperatures. A double oven with separate chambers is a better alternative.
Many smart ovens can be difficult to use, however they can be lifesavers for busy households. It's essential to choose a model with an intuitive interface that's simple for even toddlers to use, particularly when you have a family. It must be able to save and recall your most-loved recipes with the click of one button, and also be compatible with an app to help you prepare your recipes and remind you.
A few extras in your oven can make it more useful and easy to use however, be cautious not to spend too much. There are ovens with everything from an electronic temperature gauge to an intelligent cooking mode that uses grill and microwave to make crispy results in less time. We spoke with buying experts at AO, Appliances Direct and Currys about the extra features they think are worth investing in.
