What is a kitchen without an oven? We’ve found the best models for a range of price points, from basic but efficient budget models, to blow-out, high-tech ones. It can be hard to know where to start when you’re looking for a new oven. We’ve spoken to domestic white goods experts from AO. Head over to our reviews section and find out how we test products. Before you even begin to think about nifty features and aesthetics, you need to consider what size oven is right for you and your family. In-built ovens are available in two sizes: single and double.
Always check the dimensions before buying. Single ovens are around 60cm tall. They can go anywhere in the kitchen, but most people choose to place them under the counter, beneath a built-in hob or at eye-level in a cabinet.

We spoke to buying experts from AO. Split ovens: these ovens can be split in two, allowing you to cook at two different temperatures at the same time. A central panel splits the oven into two separate compartments, so you could cook sweet and savoury dishes without the flavours melding. AO’s expert, Claire Bowler, says split ovens are ideal for busy households and make a fantastic addition ‘if you’re short on space, or for those who want the choice of more cooking options’.
