Today's duel opposes two built-in ovens with excellent cooking performance, which can be found around 450 €. Brandt BXP6332X against com Dietrich DOP7220X, the match has started.

Characteristics

The common points between the Built-in ovens Brandt BXP6332X and com Dietrich DOP7220X are numerous. They both use pulsed heat; an annular resistance at the bottom of the cavity completes the sole (bottom) and vault (top) resistances and surrounds a fan responsible for distributing the hot air throughout the 73-liter muffle for our two competitors.

Both also have an electronic control panel, much more precise than a simple mechanical wheel, like the one you can find on the Electrolux EOA3404AOX PlusSteam oven, for example. On paper, it is therefore very difficult to decide between these two competitors. In fact, however, there are differences.

Convenience of use: com Dietrich DOP7220X

While the vast majority of built-in ovens in our comparison rely on a duo of rotary knobs for programming, the Brandt BXP6332X and com Dietrich DOP7220X are a bit more original than the average and only benefit from one wheel on their control panels. That of the Brandt oven, not very remarkable, is in plastic, while that of the com Dietrich, more worked, is in metal. This also helps to give it a better overall impression, without the BXP6332X seem fragile however.

In either case, the rotary button is used to select the cooking mode (natural convection, pulsed heat, etc.) while the sensitive buttons are used to modify the temperature (to within 5 ° C for the two ovens. ) or set up a cooking time as well as a start time. We master these two devices without difficulty after a few manipulations only, even if some icons of the DOP7220X are less telling than those of its competitor.

The temperature range at Brandt and com Dietrich is almost identical. You can set your Brandt oven between 35 ° C and 275 ° C in 5 ° C increments. com Dietrich can start heating from 30 ° C to 275 ° C from 5 ° C to 5 ° C as well. In the same way, the settings relating to the cooking time or the start time are possible to the minute on both ovens. Whether on the com Dietrich oven or on the Brandt oven, cooking starts automatically, without the user having to press any start button; yet a practical feature that allows you to take your time during programming.

Behind the door appear the first slight differences. While the vast majority of built-in ovens benefit from the five levels of charging, the DOP7220X and the BXP6332X are a little more generous and offer six; in fact, that does not change much. Both have no telescopic rails, which is not very surprising given their prices.

The accessories supplied with these two models differ very slightly. Brandt goes no further than the bare minimum and provides a grill and a grill pan. com Dietrich is barely more generous by including two grids and a universal pan.

The DOP7220X wins this first set, but with a very short head because of its manufacturing quality and its grid in addition.

Modes and functions: com Dietrich DOP7220X

Our two competitors do not particularly shine with supernumerary cooking methods since they both confine themselves to a few basic functions. We therefore find on the DOP7220X and on the BXP6332X the essentials: natural convection as well as pulsed heat. In addition to these two modes, on both devices, the pulsed grill (the top heater heats up and the fan turns), the pulsed hearth (symbolized by a bread icon on the com Dietrich oven), as well as an eco mode. The strong grill of the Brandt BXP6332X gives way to a variable grill (4 levels of adjustment) on the DOP7220X which also hosts the defrost, keep warm and above all combined heat modes (all the resistances heat up and the fan turns).

On the side of the cooking assistant, the two competitors are housed in the same boat. None of them benefits.

A few additional cooking methods give the second round to com Dietrich DOP7220X.

Cooking: com Dietrich DOP7220X

The Brandt BXP6332X oven is the fastest model in our comparison to increase the temperature in the muffle from 25 ° C to 185 ° C. It only takes 4 min 40 s in static heat and 10 s more in pulsed heat. The com Dietrich DOP7220X is a little slower since it takes 5 min 20 s in static heat and 5 min 35 s in pulsed heat.

The temperature curves of the Brandt BXP6332X and those of the com Dietrich DOP7220X are quite similar. The almost straight lines, devoid of wavelets, indicate that the temperature is stable throughout the cooking, with no overcooking or undercooking phase; a good point for delicate preparations such as those of meringues or soufflés which require a heat which does not vary. Note that these excellent results are obtained in pulsed heat mode and static heat mode, at 200 ° C as at 250 ° C.

Similarly, our two competitors manage to provide very homogeneous heat throughout the cavity, as shown by the four curves which symbolize the temperature recorded in various places of the enclosure. These are very close to each other, indicating that there is little difference between the areas. Regardless of their location, the cookies placed on a large baking sheet will be as golden as each other. Again, this phenomenon can be observed in pulsed and static heat mode, when the heat reaches 200 ° C or 250 ° C.

Only the eco mode makes it possible to decide between Brandt and com Dietrich. That of the BXP6332X does not provide temperatures stable enough to be used. Programmed in the same way, the DOP7220X manages to maintain a well-controlled heat, which does not vary more than that of the static heat and pulsed heat modes.

Power consumption Brandt BXP6332X

The power consumption Review lasts 45 minutes and consists of passing the temperature in the oven from 25 to 200 ° C and maintaining this temperature. At this little game, the Brandt BXP6332X consumes 0.61 kWh in static heat and 0.72 kWh in pulsed heat mode. It is therefore more reasonable than the com Dietrich DOP7220X which, under the same conditions, needs 0.70 kWh in static heat mode and 0.81 kWh in forced heat mode.

Advantage to Brandt in this round!

Noise: Brandt BXP6332X

We measured the noise during the preheating phase, when the fan is running at maximum speed. During this phase, the noise level of the DOP7220X reaches 44 dB (A), which is insufficient to cover a normal conversation. However, it risks being heard in the long run. The Brandt BXP6332X is much more discreet since it does not exceed 40 dB (A).

The last point of our duel is therefore awarded to the BXP6332X.

Conclusion: com Dietrich DOP7220X

The DOP7220X is essential at the end of this duel disputed which is finally played on points of details, so much the excellent performances of cooking of the two apparatuses are similar. com Dietrich's model is a little better equipped, a better finished coat and a bit more versatile. It also benefits from an entirely usable eco mode, unlike that of its adversary of the day, which does not necessarily deserve it. Both remain very good built-in ovens, sold at very affordable prices.
