The Hisense Hi2 BI626PBUPUK is a built-in electric single oven with a generous 77-litre capacity, aimed squarely at households that cook often and need flexibility. It combines multifunction cooking with modern touches like an LED display, electronic timer and retractable knobs, wrapped in a sleek jet black finish.
With features such as pyrolytic self-cleaning, fast preheat to 200°C in around five minutes and dedicated modes including Pizza and Air Fry, it reads more like a mid-to-upper tier model than an entry-level buy. An A+ energy rating also keeps running costs sensible for regular use.
User feedback is very strong, with a 4.8 out of 5 rating from around twenty reviews, suggesting owners are impressed with both performance and ease of use.
This Hisense oven is ideal for family homes and anyone who regularly cooks larger meals. The 77-litre cavity and five shelf positions give you plenty of space for Sunday roasts, batch baking or cooking multiple dishes at once.
It suits buyers looking for a feature-rich, yet straightforward built-in oven. With 13 programmes, including Pizza Mode, Frozen Food Mode, slow cook and Air Fry, it’s geared towards people who like to experiment a bit, but still want simple rotary and touch controls rather than anything overly complex.
If you’re tired of scrubbing the oven, the pyrolytic self-cleaning will be a big draw. That makes it a strong choice for busy households, professionals working long hours or anyone with mobility issues who finds deep cleaning the oven a chore.
It’s less suited to those on a rock-bottom budget or people who only cook occasionally and wouldn’t really use the extra modes. In a small flat where you mainly reheat or use a microwave, this may be more oven than you genuinely need.
The standout strength here is the combination of a big 77-litre capacity with genuinely useful cooking modes. Multifunction operation, top and bottom elements, fan options and hot air grilling make it easier to get even results whether you’re roasting, baking or grilling.
Pizza Mode and Fast Preheat are practical day-to-day benefits. Being able to hit 200°C in roughly five minutes means less waiting around, while the tailored pizza setting helps achieve crisp bases and nicely browned toppings without guesswork.
Pyrolytic self-cleaning is a premium feature at this price point. By heating the cavity to a very high temperature to burn off grease and spills, it reduces cleaning to a quick wipe of ash, saving time and effort.
There’s also a thoughtful set of convenience touches: an LED display with electronic timer, retractable knobs to keep the fascia neat, a cool door with dynamic cooling fan for added safety, and an Air Fry mode that lets you crisp chips or breaded food with less oil but without needing a separate countertop appliance.
An A+ energy rating and relatively low fan energy consumption (0.71 kWh) mean it should be efficient to run for regular family cooking.
Despite the generous capacity, the oven is supplied with only one grid and two shelves. That’s enough for most users, but keen bakers might find themselves wanting an extra rack without having to buy one separately.
There’s no steam cooking or integrated rotisserie, which some higher-end multifunction ovens now offer. If you’re specifically after steam-assisted baking or regular rotisserie chicken, this model won’t cover those needs.
It also requires hard-wiring by an electrician, so you can’t simply plug it in yourself. That’s normal for many built-in ovens, but it does add a small extra cost and bit of planning to installation.
Finally, while a 2-year manufacturer warranty is respectable, a few rivals stretch to longer cover, so it’s not class-leading on that front.
Day to day, the Hisense BI626PBUPUK is designed to be simple and reassuringly modern. The top-front control panel combines clear rotary dials with touch controls and an LED display, so selecting a programme and setting the timer feels intuitive even if you’re upgrading from an older, more basic oven.
Fast Heat Up and Fast Preheat modes make a noticeable difference to everyday cooking. Rather than waiting a long time for the oven to come up to temperature, you can get weeknight meals going quickly, which is particularly handy when feeding children or cooking after work.
Lighting and visibility are good thanks to the interior light and glass door, and the drop-down hinge makes it easy to slide trays in and out. The cool door and dynamic cooling fan help keep the exterior temperature safer to touch, useful in busy kitchens or where curious kids are around.
Cleaning is impressively low effort. When the cavity starts to look grubby, running a pyrolytic cycle will burn off stubborn residue, and the enamelled steel interior and removable inner door glass then just need a quick wipe. For many households, that alone will make the oven feel much easier to live with.
Noise levels are modest at around 42 dB, so while you’ll hear the fan and cooling system, it shouldn’t dominate an open-plan living space.
Performance-wise, this oven is built around a powerful 2300W heating system with both top and bottom elements and fan assistance. That, combined with Hisense’s even-bake design, is geared towards consistent heat distribution so trays on different shelves cook more evenly.
With 13 programmes, there’s a setting to suit most dishes: conventional top and bottom heat for traditional baking, fan modes for roasting, hot air grilling for crisp finishes, a dedicated Gratin option, plus slow cook for tender stews. The Pizza Mode is tuned for high, focused heat, helping you get that balance of airy crust and melted cheese without burning the base.
Air Fry Mode is a standout extra. Rather than needing an additional appliance on the worktop, you can use the oven’s fan and heat combination to create crisp chips, wedges and breaded food with little or no added oil. That’s ideal for healthier family meals and freeing up counter space.
Defrost and Frozen Food modes are genuinely useful for real life cooking, letting you safely bring food up from frozen or cook ready meals more reliably. The programmable electronic timer adds precision, so you can time cooking stages rather than constantly checking the clock.
While it stops short of smart Wi‑Fi connectivity or steam cooking, the core feature set is strong and well chosen. For most households, the focus on fast preheat, versatile heating options and self-cleaning will matter far more than app control.
At its current price, the Hisense BI626PBUPUK sits in the mid-range for built-in electric single ovens. It’s not the absolute cheapest option available, but the specification justifies the spend for many buyers.
You’re getting a large 77-litre capacity, an A+ energy rating, versatile multifunction cooking and premium touches like pyrolytic cleaning and Air Fry Mode that often appear on more expensive models. Add in Fast Preheat, Pizza Mode and a cool door, and it stands out strongly against more basic rivals.
The very positive owner rating of 4.8 out of 5 supports the idea that most buyers feel they’ve had good value for money, both in terms of performance and ease of maintenance. If your budget can stretch beyond entry-level, this oven offers a lot of real-world benefits for the price.
If you never use special modes or don’t mind manual cleaning, a simpler, cheaper oven could still make sense. But for busy households wanting features that genuinely save time and effort, this model represents solid value.
The Hisense Hi2 BI626PBUPUK is a well thought-out built-in single oven that combines a spacious cavity with a genuinely useful bundle of features. Fast heating, versatile cooking modes, Air Fry and Pizza settings, plus pyrolytic self-cleaning, all make everyday cooking and cleaning noticeably easier.
It’s not the most feature-obsessed oven on the market – you don’t get steam functions or smart connectivity – and the basic rack set-up and standard 2-year warranty leave a little room for improvement. But those are relatively minor compromises given the strong overall performance and convenience on offer.
If you’re upgrading an older oven and want something modern, efficient and easy to live with for a busy family kitchen, this Hisense model is an excellent choice. Only serious enthusiasts who specifically want steam or rotisserie, or those on the tightest budgets, are likely to need to look elsewhere.
