Looking to buy a new built in cooker, planned on a AEG B57415 but after seeing one we were a little disapointed in the internal size, as it seems rather small??
We quite like the Bosch range, and the 60litre Classixx HBA63A250B seems nice, but then browsing through the DIY shops appliance catalogue we noticed an advert for a new hotpoint openspace OS897DPIX which boasts 70litre capacity?? No where locally has one to see, and i cant find any reviews on line either?
Is there any opinions on decent single ovens, makes to avoid… models known to be good?

Re: Built In Cooker Advice Please…
From reading on the site, it appears bosch or neff are the most commonly recommended manufacturers, so might need to concentrate looking there…

The Bosch / Neff ranges (same stable) are probably about the best out there. Neff offer a slightly higher spec at a similar price giving better value for your £`s and with the two year warranty they are always a good bet. Take a look at the Neff oven page decide on which functions you require this will determine the series you need to be looking at for pricing etc.Hotpoint openspace is not yet available it doesn`t even appear on their own ordering system yet so I guess it`s not even in production, price guide £599 INC VAT.

I liked one of the Neff range, which had a very nifty fold away door that sort of slid underneath itself, quite smart really… but like with all the Neff models i saw, i didnt like the buttons to be brutely honest. I much prefer the Bosch’s plain round pop out buttons not the Neffs long thin pop out version.
I had an email this morning from hotpoint regarding the openspace, and it appears magnet have them to view, but the nearest one from me is like 70miles away… so i might have to go see just for the sake of it… but im quite fancying a bosch really… we have a bosch dishwasher, fridge and freezer so know them to be fairly decent… although the gas hob is AEG 😳 (it was a pure looks thing… and being a hob theres not much to break down so surely AEG cant be too bad for that 😆 )
I will wander down to currys or comet which are local, and keep looking and fiddling with the Neff to see if i can warm towards the weird buttons, but if i cant, and end up going bosch, is there any models to avoid or that are exceptionally good??
Bosch list a 65 litre oven as well, but is has what they class as a pull out carriage door, but apart from a tiny picture in the catalogue i cant really understand how it works? It looks like a filing cabinet front, but how do you get to lower shelfs?? Weird… the Classix HBA63A250B stills looks to be the most likely candidate for now.

Also whats the best for the self cleaning easy clean systems.. as theres so many im a little confused…
Oxylytic cleaning…
Catalytic cleaning…
Pyrolytic cleaning…
The Pyrolytic ones always seem to be more expensive, and from what ive read means they superheat and burn any residues off??

Hi Tom
From what I can gather the difference between oxylitic and catalytic is to do with the material that the oven liners are made with. The splashes emanating from cooking uncovered food do not adhere so much and is reckoned to be 4 times more efficient that catalytic cleaning.
Pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle, the oven is heated to around 480°C. At that temperature any deposits are quickly reduced to a thin layer of ash, which can then be simply wiped away with a damp cloth to leave a completely clean oven.
