What is it?
This is a single electric multifunction oven from high-end appliance manufacturer Miele, with a black and stainless steel finish.
It’s pyrolytic and has a wide range of settings, which you control using a couple of retractable dials. The oven is fully programmable and there are nine functions in total, which include eco fan mode, intensive bake, conventional heat and rapid heat-up.
The oven comes with a universal tray, including a baking and roasting rack that you can use with it. You also get a wire shelf, and there are five shelf positions to choose from.
The oven is a good size – its 55 litres of usable volume gives ample room for something as large as a turkey, leaving space for a separate tray of potatoes.
There’s a minute minder, auto-cooking options, plus a child lock to prevent any unexpected changes to the settings.
The pyrolytic self-cleaning function works at high temperatures, and is designed to burn off cooking splashes and spills from the oven’s insides. Bear in mind that you’ll need to clean the glass door and shelves separately.

The overall Which? test score is made up of the following star ratings, all determined by our rigorous lab tests.
Oven heat distribution
How we test oven heat distribution
We measure how evenly heat is distributed around the oven cavity by baking trays of shortbread on different levels and assessing how evenly they turn out.
Brand reliability
How we test brand reliability
This tells you how reliable this brand of oven is. The rating is updated each year according to our annual reliability survey.
Accuracy of oven controls
How we test accuracy of oven controls
This measures how closely the oven sticks to the temperature we set it at. Some ovens veer a long way from the correct temperature, while others are very accurate.
Preheating speed
How we test preheating speed
We measure how quickly the main oven, and the top oven if there is one, heats up to two different set temperatures.
Grill
How we test grill
We record which grills spread their heat evenly far and wide, and which ones will have you moving food around to get it evenly browned.
Ability to supply heat
How we test ability to supply heat
We bake a large fatless sponge cake and measure the evenness of browning and how well it rises. This is a measure of how consistently and evenly the oven spreads heat around the cavity.
Ease of use
How we test ease of use
Our assessors check how easy the oven and grill are to use. This includes using the controls, assessing how clear the markings around the buttons and dials are, and the ease of opening and closing the door. They also check how easy it is to adjust shelves and to load and unload food in both the oven and grill.
Cleaning
How we test cleaning
This is the ease of cleaning by hand, and also with any self-clean function.
Flexibility of space
How we test flexibility of space
We test the flexibility of space inside ovens with joints of beef, chickens and turkeys on roasting trays to see whether the space provided, and the shelf arrangement, allow them to fit in. We then check whether the ovens are flexible enough to allow another roasting tray to be fitted in above. We carry out this test on both top and main ovens.
Energy efficiency
How we test energy efficiency
We simulate roasting a whole chicken by heating a 2kg brick in the main oven for 1hr 40 mins. Electric conventional ovens are set to 200ºC, electric fan ovens are set to 170ºC and gas ovens at gas mark 6. We measure how much energy the oven uses overall, and also how much energy it uses per litre. Both these recordings feed into the energy efficiency star rating.
