Hisense 77L Built In Oven with EvenBake vs Built-in Oven - EvenBake & Pyrolytic Self-Clean — Comparison
The Hisense BI62211CB at £219 and the Hisense BSA65222PBUK at £329 are both 77-litre single electric built-in ovens with EvenBake, and both measure 595mm high and wide. The BSA costs £110 more, and the difference lies in features and energy rating rather than size.
The BSA65222PBUK is a multifunction oven with an airfryer function, a full-width grill and a double-glazed door, and it carries an A+ energy rating. The BI62211CB is a fan main oven rated A, with a quadruple-glazed door, an enamel lining, a gratin function and a mains cable included. The BSA does not include a cable, so factor that into the total cost.
Buyers of the BI62211CB praise its value, quick heat-up and quiet running, and say it cooked a Christmas dinner well. Complaints come from one reviewer who found burnt or undercooked food on every setting tried, and another who finds the manual poor and the controls over-complicated. Buyers of the BSA65222PBUK call it intuitive, with many functions in one unit, good tray and rack space and a sleek look. Its main complaint is that no airfryer tray or grill rack is supplied.
Bottom line: choose the BI62211CB if you want the lower price, a cable included and an enamel-lined interior. Choose the BSA65222PBUK if the airfryer function, full-width grill and higher energy rating are worth £110 more, and you are happy to buy its tray and rack separately.
