Thanks everyone Curlywhirly my daughter was concerned that the drawers wouldn’t be sturdy enough with a heavy meat dish to pull it out for basting for example but you have put my mind at rest. I will continue my search for the right one.
cerazyH they have them on bake-off if you ever watch it.

Never heard of ‘slide and hide’ ovens .

I have 2 slide and hide ovens. The fact that the door slides into the oven is a God send, and it means you can reach right to the back of the oven quite easily. I'm not sure what you mean regarding the oven shelves; mine are just your usual oven shelves, you can slide them out easily, just like most oven shelves. I can't think of any disadvantages of having a slide and hide oven, for me it has been a success.

I don’t have a slide and hide oven, but the shelves of my Stoves built in oven are designed to slide all the way out safely.
I think I’d be inclined to rest a hot dish on the nonexistent oven door if I had a slide and hide.

I was advised by a ( professional) oven cleaner that there can be a problem with any spillages falling straight onto the floor when the door is opened.

I’m going to replacing my current electric double oven and gas hob with an electric hob and single oven with slide and hide oven. Does anyone have one? What are the pros and cons if any, please tell me before I make an expensive mistake.
It will be under hob oven as annoyingly there is nowhere I could put it at eye level. I understand that you can slide shelves all the way out and for instance baste meat without having to remove the dish from the shelf is this so? Thanks
