Chef@Home Oven
Very smart features but…

We tested the Haier chef@home oven and liked its' high tech and smart options. It cooks food very well from plain asparagus to salmon wellington and pasta bake.
There are several points that we did observe and I am listing them in this testimonial below:
- The user manual is very short and has very little information. For an oven of this complexity and high price I would expect a much more detailed user manual and information that is well explained and detailed. Instead it is basic and completely skips important essential info esp when installing and setting up the app and wifi connectivity and using the programs for the first time.
- The wifi setup took several attempts .The help supplied on the sheet was not enough.
- There are too many separate little leaflets instead of a proper user manual so you end up with a booklet for recipes, a leaflet for setting up the probe, another for the preci scan, warranty info, user manual etc.
- The quick guide looks like it was meant for kids .. just pictures and no good description making it frustrating and useless.
- There is no info anywhere about what one should do once the cooking cycle is finished and you press complete. Should you leave the oven on to cool down fan assisted or is it ok to just switch off?
- When I did switch it off after one cooking cycle ended, I got an error the next time I switched it on. The error message (see video) said "Error 01 - Boards communication failure" which was very alarming as it would not do anything else till I switched off from the wall plug. Trouble shooting section of manual doesn't mention such an error!
- The oven comes with one grid tray and two drip trays. IT would be better if it came with two grid trays for me - this would allow the camera to see through the two trays and not be blocked by the drip tray.
- This oven has surprisingly only A rating . I would have expected such an expensive and advanced oven to be at least A+.
- The touch function on the oven glass screen does not always respond.
- The screen does show a lot of fingerprints
- there is no self cleaning mode at end of cycles
- The handle is hard to grip and open.
- Camera is fantastic and recipe selection too. The probe ensures food is cooked safely and is a great feature!
- Love the soft closure oven door.
- The app doesn't always work in sync with oven. It sees oven off sometimes even if one is cooking.
- It is good to see the exact temperature inside oven from the door
