Who this double oven is best for

This Hisense built-under double oven is a strong fit for small to medium-sized households that cook most days and like the flexibility of having two separate cavities. The 54-litre main oven handles roasts, batch baking and traybakes, while the 38-litre top oven and grill are ideal for quick weekday meals or sides.

If you’re working to a mid-range budget, it’s particularly appealing. You get modern functions like Air Fry and Pizza modes, an electronic clock and LED display, plus child lock and cool doors, without paying the premium of top-tier brands. It’s well suited to buyers upgrading from an older basic built-under oven who want a noticeable step up in features.

Keen home cooks will appreciate the multifunction main cavity with fan-assisted “Multitech” cooking, bread baking setting and multiple shelf positions, which make it easier to get even results. At the same time, the combination of rotary knobs and simple touch controls keeps it unintimidating for first-time double-oven owners.

It’s less ideal if you’re after smart connectivity or hands-off cleaning. There’s no Wi-Fi and no pyrolytic or steam-clean system, so it’s aimed more at practical, everyday family cooking than high-end tech lovers or those who want ultra-low maintenance.

What we like

The multifunction main cavity with fan-assisted “Multitech” cooking gives you the flexibility to roast, bake and cook on multiple shelves with more even heat than a simple conventional oven.

Air Fry mode is a standout at this price point. Paired with the supplied perforated tray, it lets hot air circulate around chips, veg or chicken to give crisper, fried-style results using little or no added oil, helping cut down on countertop gadgets.

The dedicated Pizza mode is great for speedy midweek dinners. By optimising heat for pizzas, it helps crisp the base while browning toppings, so you’re not guessing with generic oven settings.

Two cavities (54 litres and 38 litres) with their own lights and shelves make it easy to cook different dishes at different temperatures, a real bonus for entertaining or big family meals. The second cavity doubles as a conventional oven and grill, adding more flexibility.

Practical touches like retractable knobs, an easy-to-wipe enamel interior, removable inner door glass and cool-touch doors make cleaning and day-to-day use more straightforward and safer, especially around children.

The strong user rating suggests good reliability and performance in real homes, backed up by a 2-year manufacturer warranty for added peace of mind.

Where it could be better

There’s no self-cleaning system such as pyrolytic or catalytic liners, so while the enamel interior is smooth, you’ll still need to put in some elbow grease for deeper cleans.

Despite being a double oven, there’s no mention of a full-width grill in the main cavity and the specification lists “Full Grill: No”. You do get a grill in the second cavity, but those who like grilling large quantities at once may find this limiting.

The oven must be hard-wired by an electrician due to its 4000W electrical load. That’s standard for many double ovens, but adds to installation cost if you’re replacing a like-for-like plug-in appliance.

There’s no Wi-Fi or smart control, which may disappoint anyone hoping to integrate the oven with a connected home setup.

A keep-warm function and dedicated reheat programmes are absent, so you rely on manual temperature and timing for leftovers and holding food, which some rivals automate a little better.

Everyday use

Day to day, the Hisense Hi6 BUD714221AX is designed to be straightforward. The front-mounted control panel with a clear LED display and rotary knobs means setting temperatures and timers feels familiar, even if you’re upgrading from an older model. The knobs are retractable, so you can push them in when not in use for a cleaner look and easier wipe-down.

The built-under design at 72.3cm high is made to slide beneath standard worktops, which keeps the oven space efficient in smaller or galley kitchens. With five shelf positions across the main cavity and two shelves in each oven, arranging trays, roasting tins and baking sheets is relatively flexible.

Having interior lights in both cavities makes it easy to check on food without opening the doors and losing heat. The cool door construction is reassuring if you have children running around, as the glass stays cooler to the touch than on basic models.

Cleaning is a manual job but not overly painful. The enamel interior and removable inner door glass help keep spills from baking on too hard, and you can take the glass out for a thorough scrub when needed. The supplied baking tray and grill/drip tray are handy out of the box, so you can get cooking straight away without hunting for compatible tins.

The digital timer and electronic clock are useful for multi-dish dinners: you can keep track of different cooking times and avoid overcooking without needing a separate kitchen timer.

Performance and features

Performance-wise, the 54-litre main oven’s multifunction design is the workhorse. Fan-assisted “Multitech” cooking helps distribute heat more evenly, so traybakes, roasts and cakes cook through consistently across the shelves. The medium capacity is generous enough for family meals without feeling cavernous or slow to heat.

The 38-litre second cavity acts as both a conventional oven and a grill, with an A energy rating. It’s well suited to smaller meals, breakfast items, cheese on toast or finishing off gratins, freeing up the main oven for bigger jobs. With its own interior light and two shelves, it doesn’t feel like an afterthought.

Air Fry mode is a genuine highlight. Rather than needing a separate air fryer on the worktop, you can spread food on the perforated tray and let hot air circulate for crisp results. This can be particularly effective for frozen chips, nuggets or vegetables, and should be more energy-efficient than heating a full oven for small batches.

The specialised Pizza mode adds another layer of convenience, tuning the oven to deliver the high, even heat pizzas need. That means less trial and error to get a browned, bubbling top and a base that isn’t soggy.

Other useful features include a bread baking setting for better loaves, a defrost programme that safely brings frozen food up to temperature before cooking, and a child lock to prevent curious fingers changing settings mid-cook. Energy consumption figures of 0.77 kWh for fan cooking and 0.68 kWh for the second cavity are respectable for this type of oven, helping to keep running costs reasonable.

The main omission is any kind of smart integration or advanced auto-cook programmes. This model sticks to solid, practical features rather than venturing into app control or recipe-guided cooking, which many buyers will see as an acceptable trade-off at this price point.

Value for money

Given its mid-range price and broad feature set, the Hisense Hi6 BUD714221AX offers strong value for a built-under double oven. You’re getting two efficient cavities, fan-assisted multifunction cooking, and modern extras like Air Fry and Pizza modes that many similarly priced rivals still lack.

The inclusion of practical touches such as retractable knobs, cool doors, child lock and a defrost programme also adds to the sense of getting more than just the basics. Energy consumption figures are reasonable, so ongoing running costs should be in line with or better than many older models it might replace.

Backing this up is a 4.6/5 user rating from a solid number of reviews, suggesting that most owners feel they have received good performance for the money. The 2-year manufacturer warranty is decent, though not class-leading.

If you want smart connectivity, self-cleaning or a full-width main grill, you’ll need to spend more or consider a different style of oven. But for the majority of households looking for a capable, modern built-under double oven at a sensible price, it represents very good value.

Our verdict

The Hisense Hi6 BUD714221AX is a well-rounded built-under double oven that punches above its weight on features. The combination of a multifunction fan main oven, a practical second oven with grill, and standout options like Air Fry and Pizza modes makes it versatile enough for busy family kitchens.

It isn’t the last word in high-end tech: there’s no Wi-Fi, no self-cleaning system and the main cavity lacks a full-width grill. However, for most buyers those are acceptable compromises when weighed against the strong everyday performance, user-friendly controls and efficient A/A energy ratings.

If you’re upgrading an older built-under oven and want something modern, flexible and family-friendly without entering premium price territory, this Hisense model is an excellent option that should serve you well for a wide range of cooking tasks.
