Hisense Hi6 BlackLine Built In Single Oven - Black vs Oven Built-In Oven with Air Fry Mode - Black — Comparison

The Hisense BSA66346ADBGUK Hi6 BlackLine is a black built-in single multifunction oven with 77 litres of usable space, Wi-Fi connectivity, 22 automatic programmes, steam, an air fry mode and an A+ energy rating, listed at £549. The Hisense HO66FAPIZZACHEF is a black built-in single oven at the same £549 price, with 77 litres of usable space, 21 automatic programmes, a Pizza Mode Pro setting, air fry mode and an A+ energy rating, with pyrolytic self-cleaning listed in its features. The choice is mostly about smart features and the pizza setting.

The BlackLine is the smart model. Its spec lists Smart: Yes, so you can set and monitor cooking from a phone, which buyers say is handy when you forget to set the oven before leaving home. It is 595 mm high and 595 mm wide. The pizza oven is listed as not smart and needs 620 mm of width space, but it has a dedicated pizza setting that buyers say gives good results.

Buyers of the BlackLine praise its sleek look, Wi-Fi control, quick preheat, steam function and even cooking. The complaints come from a one-star reviewer who found the controls over-complicated and said the door sensor could switch the oven off when they left the room, plus a three-star reviewer who felt the oven cooks unevenly and the alarm is quiet. Buyers of the pizza model praise its heat-up speed, pizza results and air fry, but one says the timer is not loud enough and another says the manual is needed to find each function.

Bottom line: choose the Hisense BSA66346ADBGUK if you want Wi-Fi control and 22 programmes, choose the Hisense HO66FAPIZZACHEF if you want a non-smart oven with a dedicated pizza mode and pyrolytic cleaning.
