Good – This is the closest model oven to the F&P I previously owned which was a double oven. Great value for money. Reliable. In 15 years of owning my oven the only thing that needed replacing was the oven light. The touch buttons wear down to expose the actual button beneath (it looks ugly but at least it still works so you can't complain). Mine still works and was only replaced because I got a new oven as a present.
Spend extra on self cleaning ovens - they save you 4 hours of your time (and you would still be unhappy with how "clean" your oven is) and save you money as you no longer to buy stinky oven cleaners (the only oven cleaners that truly work are the ones that smell the most). touch buttons. Reliable. touch buttons. Not self cleaning. OTC does not stop beeping until you switch it off.
Good – Overall we've been really happy with it. It was in this house when we moved in. I've read some lousy things about F&P products, but I have found this oven to be great, as my Mum has found with her slightly older model. Looks good, electronic "Beep" to let you know when it's reached correct temperature, constant read out of temp on display as it heats up, reasonably quiet operation (by comparison to some older fan-forced models. No knobs to clean. Always turs on to conventional "bake" instead of "fan bake" for fan-forced cooking... I always cook using fan-forced mode, so annoys me to have to change it every time. My Mum's older electronic F&P Oven defaults directly to "fan bake" and can be manually changed to conventional mode. A minor annoyance really.
