Spacious and smart: TOP 5 ovens with remote control

Candy's built-in oven represents the ESSENZA series and stands out from its predecessors with its stylish design. In addition to clear lines that emphasize the correct geometric shapes of the case, the full touch control with child protection deserves special mention.

Of the useful features of the Candy FCXNE 828 X WIFI equipment, telescopic rails at the same level stand out, the Soft Close automatic closer, the hinges of which contribute to the smooth closing of the door. Self-cleaning systems of the working chamber are not provided. But inside there is easy-to-clean enamel with smooth surfaces, and on the front, thanks to sensors, the number of protruding elements is minimized, which should also simplify the maintenance procedure.

With typical built-in dimensions (590x560x560 mm), the oven is characterized by a large volume of 80 liters. Such spaciousness should be enough for both large families and those who like to pamper guests with various culinary delights.

Candy FCXNE 828 X WIFI heater set includes traditional top and bottom heat, convection fan and grill. Individually and in combination, they provide users with 9 operating modes, including specialized ones such as defrost or pizza. Other options are quite familiar: setting the temperature and cooking time (timer).

The oven is supplemented with a Wi-Fi module, which opens up the possibility of remote control. After installing the simply-Fi app on a smartphone and synchronizing, the user will be able to adjust modes outside the kitchen, use a rich arsenal of special recipes, receive notifications when cooking is completed, etc.

The disadvantages of the model include the basic energy consumption of class A by today's standards. This is partly due to the presence of not the most progressive 2-layer glazing. But for Wi-Fi solutions, this oven is inexpensive, so if you are looking for an affordable, stylish and roomy appliance, then the Candy FCXNE 828 X WIFI can become your favorite.

The predominantly black Siemens oven has a 71-litre cooking chamber and heating elements familiar to electric models, including convection and grill.

Thanks to the cookControl function, it is not at all necessary to delve into all the intricacies of the Siemens HB 578G0S6. There are 30 auto-cooking programs, for which you only need to specify the weight of the products placed in the oven: and all the operating parameters will be selected by the automation. So you can cook pizza, lasagna, goulash, roast beef, roast and other popular dishes.

8 cooking modes are available for independent cooking experiments, including low-temperature cooking (up to 120 °C) and coolStart, suitable for defrosting and quickly preheating the oven.

Siemens HB 578G0S6 presents the iQ500 line, which combines comfort-class solutions. This status is reinforced by the presence of child protection, telescopic rails at the same level, as well as the softMove door closer, which prevents noise when closing. The 4-layer glazing will also come in handy, thanks to which the front should not heat up above 30 ° C.

There will be no particular difficulties with the removal of fat after cooking. The oven has a highly effective pyrolytic cleaning with three levels of intensity (from a minimum duration of 75 minutes to a maximum of 2 hours). True, even without frequent pyrolysis operation, Siemens HB 578G0S6 is not the most economical device (energy class A).

By default, it is proposed to control the oven using rotary switches with sensors. For greater clarity, there is also a display and blue backlight. In addition, remote control is also supported. Using the proprietary Home Connect application, it is not difficult to configure any parameters from your smartphone and control cooking, perform remote diagnostics, etc.

Siemens HB 578G0S6 is a well-balanced oven from a proven brand in terms of functionality and cost.

The model has expanded the range of SenseCook ovens from Electrolux in the summer of 2021. As with all representatives of the series, recessed switches and a touch screen with a child-proof lock are offered for control. And the My Electrolux Kitchen app is ready to become an alternative to the traditional interaction with the appliance. It is it that will provide the possibility of remote control of the oven from a smartphone or tablet.

An equally significant feature of the Electrolux SenseCook OKE 6P77 WX is the temperature probe. It is designed to measure the temperature inside the product, which is especially valuable when monitoring the readiness of various meat and fish dishes, including steaks.

The oven holds up to 72 liters, therefore, it will be possible to cook at a time for a family with several children or a small company. For different types of heat treatment, 9 modes are available, ranging from basic (lower heating, normal and turbo grill, convection) to specialized ones (defrosting, pizza, cooking semi-finished products).

The collection of auto cooking programs is designed to simplify the operation of the Electrolux SenseCook OKE 6P77 WX as much as possible. 45 recipes are “sewn into” the memory of the device, which do not require complex settings. In this way, it is proposed to cook very popular dishes with beef, pork, veal, lamb, poultry and fish (including using a temperature probe), as well as pastries and desserts, side dishes, casseroles or bread.

Telescopic guides are provided on one of the levels of the chamber for the convenience of loading / unloading dishes. 3-layer glazing is designed to eliminate strong heating of the door and unwanted heat loss during cooking. On average, it “winds” 0.93 kWh per cycle on the meter in modes without convection or 0.69 kWh with it, which corresponds to a good A + rating.

Pyrolytic technology will help to effectively rid the walls of the oven of dirt, turning fat and food residues into ashes under the influence of high temperatures. There are 3 options for this care: light, normal and thorough cleaning.

Electrolux SenseCook OKE 6P77 WX is an interesting oven that can be recommended to all connoisseurs of meat dishes and big fans of new technologies.

In Whirlpool's corporate hierarchy, the W11I OM1 4MS2 H oven belongs to the top solutions. Its 73-litre cooking chamber features practical telescopic rails on two levels at once. An automatic door closer is designed to increase comfort in operation, and ease of operation is touch control with child protection and a clear color TFT display.

Another model, instead of the classic protruding handle, received a hidden one: it will not hide free space and get rid of accidental touches. Other features also worth highlighting are 3-layer glazing, energy efficiency class A +, as well as the presence of hydrolytic self-cleaning Smart Clean (pollution is softened by steam).

Whirlpool W11I OM1 4MS2 H received the usual four heaters: one at the top and bottom, annular convection and a grill. Their various combinations provide 8 basic operating modes, including preheating, defrosting semi-finished products and COOK 4. In the latter, it is possible to cook on 4 levels at once, for example, cookies, pies or pizza.

There are also 6 special modes, including for raising dough, keeping warm, heating food from the refrigerator, cooking large pieces of meat (over 2.5 kg). In total, we have 14 modes or 13 - directly for cooking (excluding preheating).

In addition, the oven allows the creation of custom programs and provides for over 8 dozen 6th Sense auto programs. With the help of the latter, the preparation of a wide variety of popular recipes is automated, including steaks and burgers, fillets, kebabs and sausages, cakes and pastries, vegetables, buns, baguettes, etc. By the way, especially for easy control of the readiness of meat and fish dishes, the device comes with a 4-point Multisense temperature probe. It determines the temperature inside the pulp in four places at once.

It will also be possible to control the oven remotely via the Internet. All you need to do is install the 6th Sense Live mobile app. True, in the CIS it is not officially supported. This means not only the lack of translation of the interface, but also the need to install software bypassing the Apple Store or Google Play: by downloading the installation file to the smartphone. If this is not a critical moment, then Whirlpool W11I OM1 4MS2 H is a worthy competitor to high-end ovens of popular brands.

The 71-litre electric oven is notable for its AssistedCooking function. A huge collection of recipes (160 pieces in total) is "sewn into the electronics of the device", according to which it is possible to cook simply by the weight of the products: no other settings are required from the user. And when cooking many dishes (especially from meat, poultry and fish), the model itself is able to determine the readiness and turn off the heating, because the temperature probe is included in the package.

For independent settings, AEG SenseCook BPK 748380 B provides 16 cooking modes (excluding the plate heating option). So, there are 9 standard functions, such as a grill or turbo grill, cooking frozen semi-finished products, pizza, dough preparation. There are also special modes, such as canning, drying (replaces the fruit dryer) and gratin (for cooking casseroles, lasagna, etc.).

At the top of the front of the oven is the main control - a touch TFT display. Partly duplicates and complements his mobile application My AEG Kitchen. After installing it on a smartphone, it will be possible to control the operation of the oven from a distance, for example, starting the preparation of dinner before driving home from the office at the end of the working day.

After completion of operation, it will be possible to avoid the laborious removal of contaminants from the walls of the working chamber. For this, pyrolytic cleaning is proposed with a choice of one of three modes for duration (from 1 to 3 hours).

The pluses of the model include low energy consumption class A ++, which ovens can rarely boast of. The level of equipment will also please: there is child protection, telescopic guides and 4 layers of glass on the door, which eliminates burns in case of accidental touches to the front surfaces of the device.

The price tag for the AEG SenseCook BPK 748380 B matches the declared capabilities. But if you want a functional oven with an abundance of modes and auto programs, then you are unlikely to find more affordable analogues of famous brands.
