The oven is quick to warm up, and looks nice with a good clear view of what is going on, but there are annoying issues: 1) The timer alarm is far too quiet on the loudest setting and cannot be heard above an extractor fan in the adjacent room 2) The selector dial is too slow to respond then jumps too fast to other selections when you think it hasn't responded, meaning you go back and forward until you manage to get the tiny red dash on the appropriate text on the display 3) I haven't found where to keep the oven on after it has reached temperature 4) Why can't you change the default temperature for the fan over.. it always defaults to 150

The AEG 7000 Steamcrisp is a high performance oven. It has advanced features and my favourite is the pyrolitic self cleaning. It just takes all the mess out of oven cleaning. All you have to do is enable the self cleaning mode, remove all the accessories and wipe after it's cooled down. Very simple and easy. Steamcrisp function is great, makes for much tastier meat and love the built in meat thermometer for cooking things perfectly. Very pleased with the oven overall and despite the high price tag I still think it's a good value product.

This oven is great, so many possibilities. Well cooked pizzas, crisp pastries. Enough place inside to cook different things at the same time as it's really useful for a family of 4. The app is also great to follow timer when you are not in the kitchen and also to launch the cook if you are not home when you are on your way back. You don't have to wait too long to reach the temperature you need to cook your preparation. I made already some pastries and madeleines for breakfast and it was a success. I will need months to test all the options and it will also help me to give me ideas for our next meals.

First impressions, the oven seemed bigger than the one we had before, however it fits perfectly in the same space. I think the space has been engineered in a very clever way, making it more spacious inside. At first sight the oven looks super sleek and smart, however as much as I love the look, this also means that hand prints are very visible, especially if you have young children around! The oven connects through WiFi to My AEG Kitchen app (Apple and Android), however this took us quite a while, it wasn’t straight forward and maybe a bit buggy. I don’t find the app particularly exciting, you can chose the different programs from the Assisted cooking menu, as well as monitor the core temperature of your dish, if using the food sensor. Nothing that you won’t be able to do easily manually, except maybe using your voice with google assistant. The app also has some interesting recipes with instructions to cook them in the oven and it promises “new features and updates” constantly being added. So far we made pizza using the “Pizza Function” and sourdough bread using “dough proving” and the “bread making” programs.The oven reaches high temperature very very fast. Pizza came out with a very crispy bottom that we were never able to achieve before. But the toppings also came out a little bit overcooked for our taste. The only criticism I have is that you cannot pause the timer once you start the program. For the "Bread Cooking” function we had to fill the little tank of water as the oven will release a constant steam to allow for the bread to cook perfectly inside and have a crispy crust. The oven takes into account the hardness of your water (something you can set up at the beginning, and you can also change afterwards if for example you buy a water softener). The bread came out delicious, incredibly soft inside, but thoroughly cooked, and with a nice crispy crust outside.Something that with sourdough is very hard to obtain. The only criticism I have is that theres no way to see how much water is left in the tank, or how much you really need to top up for the next program. There are a tons of programs and settings, I think if you want to make the most of this oven you really need to take some time to read though the user manual and try the features for yourself. The oven came with a “Cooking hints” booklet, other than the Instruction manual, which I found really handy to help me navigate through the all functions.

Amazing oven - rapid heat-up, very even cooking, and so quiet compared to our old one. Easy controls and so many features we haven't even tried yet. Generous amount of accessories, too.

Only had it a few days but so many features I haven't even got around to trying the steam yet. Looks great especially with the other matching products
