Somewhat happy – I bought this free standing oven a few months back and due to covid I shopped online for this item so a didn't have the option to shop instore so therefore didn't get the option to ask questions or see the item in real time, the size is perfect as I was limited in space for a bigger oven, I have just 2 complaints about this item. Number 1 when the oven is on the light inside the oven is also on for the whole duration of cooking, their is no way to turn the inside oven light off and as such its a hefty draw on the power bills and number 2 the grilling tray has no handle, my last one had a small stainless handle for you to hold while pulling the grill try out to check your food, I thought it might have been missing from my pack but on closer inspection their is NO holes on the side of the grill tray to even accommodate a handle, so yes both of those things are a disappointment, I much prefer when the oven is on that the light inside the oven is OFF while cooking and it only come on when you open the door, my other ovens had the light off while oven is on and when you open the door it would come on, so for this oven to have the inside oven light on constantly while it's in use, then that's a step backwards as far as I am concerned and it's making my power bills awfully high so the star rating must be crap but again it had no star rating avail for me to compare. On the plus side, I bought this oven for the smooth glass cooktop I love them, it's a smooth sleek finish and it has updated my kitchen to a degree compared to my previous one, when you turn the stove top on they heat really fast and it's easy to gauge to almost the exact point on the dial to get to simmering stage, without you needing to be constantly tweaking it to simmer, my only concern is with the stovetop being glass they have the outline of where each hot spot is but they are so light I think that after 12 months of use they would start to disappear and rub off, I would hope the outlines of the hotspots would last the whole life of this oven say 10 years but I'm not sure, so therefore when I clean my cooktop I use just water on a soft cloth and then wipe over with a dry microfiber cloth and no pressure of scrubbing or wiping even just using the lightest touch and NO CHEMICALs as I think that will eat into the outlines of the rings. I did however pay an extra $200 for the extra warranty, so all in all I have 4 years warranty and not just the 12/24 months, also another plus is the oven seems to heat relatively quickly, so quick in fact I never pre heat it, I just put the items in the cold oven to be cooked and then turn it on, yes trying to save power but not sure its working because of the blessed oven light inside the oven on the whole time, If I had been able to turn the inside oven light off simply by opening and closing the oven door it would have been my perfect oven even without the handle on the grilling tray.

Purchased in at Harvey Norman for $1,540.
