I already own a Neff Induction Hob and extraction hood so I trust the company''s reputation. I have owned the oven for a week and will comment on what I have found so far. The oven is doing everything I expected and a bit more. As you can see from the picture, it has a large glass panel so you get a full view of the interior. And the view of the inside is as well lit as the photo depicts. It heats up quickly and quietly. I didn''t expect it to be that quiet. I just expected fan assist ovens to be loud. If you''ve ever owned a cheap dishwasher and then bought a better model, you know what I mean. The controls are easy enough to use - even the auto time feature - I tried it and it worked. The oven has a wide variety of cooking options; heat from under or above or both, fan assist on all of the settings or none, so you can choose exactly the kind of cooking you''d like. I ended up going to the Neff site just to make sure I knew the difference between Circo-Therm, Circo therm boost, full grill or partial, etc. The icons on the heating options button make sense now so it''s easy to use. The oven door opens and shuts smoothly and it retains heat to the point that it can be a surprise when you open the door and feel the heat coming out. Even though this oven fits into the same space as the previous oven, it has a much bigger interior cooking area. I put the oven trays and rack from both ovens on top of each and Neff was bigger by a couple of centimeters in both directions. Unlike my previous oven, this one has no hot spots that I can identify. Whether it is chicken or cookies, the surface areas brown evenly. I am quite happy with it and consider it worth the extra money. -
