Good quiet oven that does the basics well
So I've had this about a month now for my new kitchen. Previously had a Neff. I didn't need an oven that has all the extras such as meat probes, steam, pyrolytic.
The pros:
Aesthetically pleasing
Cooks quickly
Cooks reasonably evenly
Pizza function works well
Rapid heat works great
Very quiet when in use
Cons:
Finger prints magnet.
The rotary wheel can be very annoying, I found that if I clip it off and on again it works better for a while.
Halogen light seems outdated
Appliance cool down takes forever which I wouldn't mind but the digital clock display is unavailable for hours with the "appliance cooling down " message showing instead.
The oven starts counting (timer) how long it's been turned on. I fail to see the purpose of this? I have to set a separate cook time anyways when I actually start cooking my food.
Soft close/open door is great but it doesn't fully open, I have to push it open, and this may be bad for the dampening mechanism. Hopefully it will loosen up a little over time.
The instructions in the manual are not correct for the method to detach the oven door. It took me ages to actually find a youtube video of a person removing a Siemens oven door to find out how to do it.
