At Ship It Appliances, we are always excited when products hit the market. So, we have taken it upon ourselves to provide in-depth reviews of new kitchen appliances from a wide range of manufacturers. The first appliance in our product review series is the Amica 1053 Platinum Multifunction Built-In Oven, a product which has recently been released.

The Look

The Amica 1053.3X is quite an eye-catching built-in oven. Usually, integrated appliances are made to blend right in to the kitchen décor, but this one will stand out. The black and stainless steel design is quite unique, and it will certainly draw attention when you have guests over.

If you’re looking for something a bit more discreet, this may not be the best option.you may be more interested in the Amica 1053.3W. This product is all white, so it will blend in better with lighter cupboards. Not to mention it costs £30 less than the 1053.3X.

The Performance 

One of the best features of the Amica Platinum Multifunction Built-In Oven is the ‘rapid preheating’ feature. It may sound like a buzz word, but this appliance actually does heat up much faster than other similar models. Whereas most built-in ovens take 10 minutes or longer to heat up, this model takes just four minutes to heat up to 150°C.

Easy Cleaning

Cleaning the oven is usually a long job that no one in the house wants to do, but this appliance makes the task much less arduous. With an enamel interior, the Amica Platinum Multifunction Built-In Oven ensures that grease does not stick to the sides or the door. As such, all it takes is a quick wipe down to keep your oven sparkling and clean.

Energy Efficiency

With a rating of A-20%, this appliance is very energy efficient. A-20% is equal to the rating of A+, so you can expect to save money on your energy bills year-on-year after purchasing the Amica Platinum Multifunction Built-In Oven. The rapid heating also helps to conserve energy, so you can expect your energy usage to be much lower. While saving six minutes in preheating time doesn’t sound like much, it does add up over time.
