a question about ovens

Mine were bought at John Lewis, as they fitted the kitchen, but I opted for touch control with just a discreet scroll wheel in the centre of the panel. I am just a bit fussy and like minimalist things with no extra knobs or embellishment. My whole kitchen is without door handles, they are just pull and soft close, you can probably see that from photo.
Just pulled out the receipts for kitchen appliances and our ovens, bought end of 2011, were £1250 each. Just checked online and they are still the same price.

Just noticed this one has knobs I like the idea of one without

Oh I love that thank you

This is the one I was looking at www.johnlewis.com/neff-b44m42n3gb-slide-and-hide-single-electric-oven-stainless-steel/p231761952 is it the same?

Thought I would add a photo cookynan, I opted for ones with no knobs for easier cleaning.

Yes, I have two of these NEFF ovens, side by side in units that cover one wall of the kitchen.
They are super ovens and so easy to keep clean, even at twice the price I would still buy them, worth every penny.

We are refitting our kitchen and including a built in oven (in a tall unit rather than an under counter one)

I was thinking about getting one of the ovens I have seen on Bake Off where the door slides away completely - I am finding it harder and harder to get heavy casserole dishes etc out of our current one with a regular door as you have to sort of lean across the door to reach in (does that make sense?)

I just wondered whether anyone had one of these ovens and whether they were happy with them and whether the extra cost is justified

Thank you
