- Consumers love their ovens - 86% purchased an oven as part of their kitchen refit
- Less than 10% of respondents were interested in shopping for kitchen products which were in a sale or on special offer
- Online reviews are more influential than verbal recommendation in five out of eight kitchen product categories.
