It stands out for its 18 functions, guided touchscreen controls, sous vide capability and app connectivity.

Things to consider

Its 55L compact cavity is versatile, but households regularly cooking very large roasts or multiple large trays at once may prefer a larger full-size steam oven.

Healthy cooking suitability

Excellent for steam-based meals, vegetables, fish and gentle cooking methods that help retain moisture

Family size fit

Best for couples to medium families; suitable for everyday meals and entertaining, but less ideal for extra-large batch cooking

Baking performance score

8.8/10 - strong versatility across convection, combination cooking and guided modes, with compact capacity limiting very large bakes

Ease of cleaning rating

8.5/10 - steam-friendly design and dry cycle help with upkeep, though it does not offer the simplest set-and-forget cleaning of some specialised self-cleaning ovens

Smart home integration score

8.7/10 - Wi-Fi connectivity and app monitoring add genuine convenience for remote checking and control of key functions
