The Hisense Hi6 BUD714221CDBG is a built-under electric double oven designed for households that want flexible cooking space without going fully premium. With two cavities, multifunction cooking and a modern black finish, it aims to handle everything from busy weeknight dinners to weekend baking.
Hisense tends to sit in the good-value, mid-range part of the market, and that’s exactly where this oven feels pitched. Features like Air Fry mode, a dedicated pizza setting and catalytic liners for easier cleaning give it a more up-to-date spec than basic double ovens.
Owners rate it around 4.3 out of 5 from dozens of reviews, suggesting that most people are very happy with how it performs day to day, with only a few niggles to be aware of.
This Hisense double oven is well suited to small and medium-sized families who cook regularly and want the flexibility of two separate cavities. With 54 litres in the main oven and 38 litres in the second, it’s ideal if you often juggle a main dish and sides, or like to bake while something else grills above or below.
It’s a strong option if you’re upgrading from an older built-under model and want modern conveniences without paying top-tier prices. The multifunction main oven, pizza mode and bread baking setting will appeal to keen home cooks who like to experiment beyond basic roasting.
Health-conscious households will appreciate the dedicated Air Fry mode and supplied perforated tray, which are great for crisping chips, veg and snacks with less oil. If you’ve been thinking about a countertop air fryer but don’t want more clutter, this built-in alternative is attractive.
It’s less suited to very serious bakers who demand a large-capacity single oven, or to anyone who wants smart connectivity, as there’s no Wi‑Fi or app control here.
The main strength of this Hisense Hi6 is its versatility. The multifunction main cavity with fan-assisted “Multitech” cooking, pizza mode, bread baking setting and dedicated defrost function means you can tweak the heat to suit almost anything you’re cooking.
Air Fry mode is a real bonus. The included perforated tray lets hot air circulate more effectively, giving crispier results on chips, wedges and breaded food without deep-frying. For many kitchens it could remove the need for a separate air fryer.
Having two ovens – 54 litres and 38 litres – gives you plenty of flexibility for family meals and entertaining, especially when you factor in the second cavity’s grill. Five shelf positions and four shelves in total make it easy to cook on multiple levels.
Everyday convenience is well thought through. Catalytic liners in the main cavity help break down grease during normal cooking, cutting down on scrubbing. A clear LED display, digital timer, interior lights in both cavities and retractable rotary knobs all add to the user-friendly feel.
Safety and efficiency are also solid, with an A/A energy rating across both ovens, a cool door design and a child lock to stop curious fingers changing settings.
There are a few compromises to be aware of. The overall capacity is split between two smaller ovens, so if you routinely cook very large joints or batch bake on big trays, a single large oven might suit you better.
Despite the second cavity including a grill, the spec notes “Full Grill: No” for the product overall, which suggests grilling options may be more limited than on some competitors with wider or more powerful grill elements.
There’s no keep-warm function or reheat setting, which would have rounded out the convenience feature set. Likewise, there’s no steam cooking or microwave function, so if you’re after an all-in-one multifunction or combi oven, this isn’t it.
The warranty is a fairly standard 2 years rather than the extended cover some premium brands offer. And with no Wi‑Fi or smart control, it may feel a step behind if you’re building a highly connected kitchen.
Day to day, the Hisense Hi6 should be straightforward to live with. The front-mounted control panel combines rotary knobs with touch controls and an LED display, keeping everything visible and easy to reach in a built-under position. Retractable knobs help maintain a clean, uncluttered look and are less likely to be knocked accidentally.
The main multifunction oven gives you fan-assisted cooking for even heat distribution, plus conventional heat settings for bakes that prefer top and bottom heat. Switching between modes is simple, which makes it approachable even if you’re not especially experienced in the kitchen.
Both cavities have interior lights and glass doors, so you can keep an eye on progress without opening the door and losing heat. The cool door design is a welcome safety feature, particularly in smaller kitchens and homes with children.
Cleaning is one of the more user-friendly aspects. Catalytic liners in the main cavity absorb grease as you cook; running the oven hotter from time to time helps burn off residue, so you’re left with much less scrubbing than a standard enamel-only interior. The removable inner door glass makes it easier to get the doors properly clean.
The built-under dimensions (H72.3 x W59.5 x D57.5 cm) are designed to fit standard under-counter housings, but it does need to be hard-wired by an electrician due to the 4000W electrical connection, so professional installation is necessary.
Performance-wise, the Hisense Hi6 focuses on giving you reliable heat and a range of cooking modes rather than headline-grabbing gimmicks. The main 54-litre multifunction cavity uses fan-assisted “Multitech” technology to circulate hot air, helping food cook more evenly and often more quickly than in a simple conventional oven. Energy consumption of 0.77 kWh in fan mode is reasonable for this size and spec.
The secondary 38-litre cavity operates as an electric conventional oven and grill. This is handy when you want to grill sausages, crisp up a lasagne top or bake a smaller dish without firing up the main oven. With two shelves and its own interior light, it’s perfectly capable as a standalone space for smaller meals.
Where this model stands out from more basic double ovens is its specialist functions. Air Fry mode, complete with a perforated tray, is ideal for lighter, crisp results on chips, breaded chicken and vegetables. Pizza function and pizza mode are tailored to getting better bases and toppings, while a bread baking setting helps you achieve a more even rise and crust.
Everyday practicality is supported by a built-in defrost programme and a separate defrost feature in the main cavity, meaning you can safely thaw frozen food without relying on guesswork. A digital timer and electronic clock make timing easier, and the child lock adds a layer of reassurance in family homes.
Although there’s no Wi‑Fi, steam or microwave capability, the core feature set is strong for a mid-range built-under double oven. A/A energy ratings across both cavities indicate good efficiency relative to older models, helping to keep running costs sensible for frequent users.
At around £469, this Hisense double oven sits comfortably in the mid-range for built-under electric double ovens. It’s not a budget model, but you are paying for a richer feature set than basic alternatives, particularly with Air Fry mode, pizza and bread functions, and catalytic liners.
The 4.3 out of 5 average rating from over 40 owners suggests that real-world performance justifies the price for most buyers. Users appear broadly satisfied with how it cooks and how easy it is to live with day to day.
Considering the twin cavities, energy-efficient A/A rating, self-cleaning catalytic liners in the main oven and the inclusion of a baking tray and air fry-style perforated tray, the overall package represents good value. If you’re willing to forgo smart connectivity and top-end build finishes, it offers a lot of everyday practicality for the money.
The Hisense Hi6 BUD714221CDBG is a well-rounded built-under double oven that combines flexible cooking space with genuinely useful modern features. The multifunction main oven, capable second cavity and thoughtful extras like Air Fry mode, pizza settings and catalytic liners make it a strong choice for busy, food-loving households.
It’s not the model for you if you want a single extra-large oven, advanced steam functions or smart app control. The grill provision is also a touch more modest than some rivals, and the 2-year warranty is standard rather than standout.
For most families looking to upgrade an older built-under appliance, though, this Hisense offers a compelling balance of performance, convenience and running efficiency at a sensible mid-range price. If you want a versatile, easy-to-use double oven with healthier cooking options built in, it deserves a spot near the top of your shortlist.
