Hot off the kitchen catwalk: Our top oven choices

We select the next top models among the latest quality and affordable ovens for new and renovated kitchens

Side by side or stacked, Siemens remains the top choice in many kitchen builds and renovations. Ensure you select each oven including microwaves, based on its individual merits.

When we are checking out built-in single ovens in the showroom, it can seem as if we’re watching a parade of very similarly styled 60cm black boxes. What’s really on offer behind that glittering fascia? Here’s just some of what you might enjoy at the top and middling areas of the market right now in traditional ovens that can be used alone or paired seamlessly with other single, combinations, or specialist buys for microwaving, steaming and more.

Siemens is a solid German prestige brand, and its ovens are often served as a first choice by kitchen suppliers in a single or double oven. Technologies at Siemens don’t change year on year, as the company is a pioneer in appliances. Its app-connected detailing, TFT touch displays in vibrant imagery, automated baking and roasting settings, and time prediction (Cook Control Pro) are fuss-free, proven winners.
