• Candy CMXG22DS/ST also has simple controls and is provided with detailed and visual instructions.
• However, experts were criticized by: poor lighting, narrow door glass, a high and slippery grill grate and a slippery rotary switch.

• 55% of the energy consumed by the appliance is converted into heat, and this is a good indicator for this type of household appliance.
• In order to cook delicious grilled chicken in the AEG KMK768080T, experts recommend using the automatic mode. But the oven fries the toast, although it is good, but not quite evenly – it is stronger along the edges than in the middle.
• For those who like to constantly monitor the cooking process, the AEG KMK768080T may not be suitable – its glass is very narrow and the illumination of the working chamber is weak. Also, the door opens noisily and hard – it will not be easy for an elderly person or a fragile woman to open it.
