Samsung Dual Cook BT621VDST Electric Single Oven Built In Stainless Steel

"great idea, great product"

Pros: Easy to use, Value for money

"When we needed a new oven I couldn't decide between a single or a double for our busy household of 5. This oven manages to be both! It is the size of a single, but, by sliding in a middle insulated section, becomes a dual-functioning double oven. Since I have had it I have only once had to take out the middle section so have saved energy (and money) every time I've cooked.

The dual functioning is really handy - you can be roasting a chicken while cooking a fruit cake. The only thing is that the temperature differences between the ovens cannot be set to be massively different, so you couldn't do meringues in one and roast a joint in the other.

The oven is easy to set too (it has loads of auto programmes but I have never used these). One other very minor gripe is that if you are in a rush while setting it, you have to wait a couple of seconds between setting the oven type (eg fan or conventional etc) before you can change the temperature setting. But that's a really small issue.

It operates quietly, heats up in no time at all and cooks food evenly. Cleaning isn't particularly easy (it is difficult to clean around the elements in the roof of the oven) but the rest of it is pretty good.

On the whole, we are thrilled with our purchase. And I particularly appreciate not having to heat up a whole oven just to cook a few fishfingers. I would wholeheartedly recommend this oven."

"Excellent oven - efficient, fast, and green"

Pros: Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet

"1. Heats up very quickly; very impressive and useful.

2. The split oven facility is very helpful. It saves energy and heats up superfast when using only half the oven; and items can be cooked separately if necessary and all together if required. Excellent.

3. Useful array of timer functions, and different heating combinations, grill etc. Basic functions are all straightforward."

"Excellent flexible Oven"

Pros: Quiet, Easy to use, Good build quality, Value for money

Cons: no on/off timer

"We needed a large oven that would fit below the worktop and this does the job very well. The flexibility of the two small or one large oven is great. Roasts are easy due to the different temperatures of the ovens. If you are using only one oven the heat up time is only a few minuites. This oven is easy to use once you get use the using the buttons/dials.

As we can feed just 2-3 during the week then up to 12 at a weekend this oven can cope very well. We have had the oven for some six months and it meets our requirements"

"Very pleased"

Pros: Quiet, stylish, versatility

"Very pleased with this oven. Looks great and the versatility of the oven with the divider is excellent and probably the main reason to buy this oven - especially if you've Ikea cabinets that won't fit a built-under double oven. It is so quiet, heats up very quickly and the child lock is a real bonus. The glass does get quite hot though and as per another review you do need to consider the pipework if you've a gas hob above as because of the oven capacity the oven takes up the full dimensions quoted.

Express delivery was with us the next day by 1pm."

"Great!"

Pros: Quiet, Easy to use, Good build quality, Value for money, stylish, multifunctional

Cons: steam clean function is not as fab as it should be

"Love the fact that you have a very large oven or two smaller independent ones.

It works very well, no smells cross the divider and it is easy to set up and use.

Would be great if each oven had its own timer and light though."
