Where to buy the Siemens HB736G1B1B built-in oven
🏆 Review & price summary
The Siemens HB736G1B1B oven is a feature-rich built-in single oven aimed at households that want broad cooking flexibility without moving to a double or steam model. Its 71-litre cavity, 4D hotAir, Air Fry mode, TFT touch controls and Home Connect connectivity make it versatile for everyday cooking, while ecoClean and hydrolytic cleaning help reduce maintenance. The A+ rating is a strong point. However, the dedicated Air Fry tray is optional, there is no steam cooking, the maximum temperature is 275°C and installation requires an electrician.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ 14 heating methods, including 4D hotAir, Air Fry and a pizza setting
- ✓ Home Connect, TFT-Touchdisplay Plus, cookControl Plus and voice-assisted programme selection
- ✓ EcoClean back panel and hydrolytic humidClean programme reduce routine cleaning effort
Worth considering
- There is no steam-cooking function, so it is less suitable than steam-capable ovens for moisture-assisted baking and roasting
- The 275°C maximum temperature provides less high-heat headroom than ovens rated to 300°C

The oven has an Air Fry function, but Siemens lists the dedicated Air Fry & Grill tray as optional rather than included.
Cooking performance and capacity
The Siemens HB736G1B1B oven combines a 71-litre cavity with 14 heating methods, including 4D hotAir, conventional heat, full- and half-width grilling, pizza, bottom heat, low-temperature cooking and Air Fry. This gives it strong flexibility for baking, roasting, grilling and reheating.
4D hotAir is designed to distribute heat across multiple shelf levels, while the five shelf positions make the large cavity practical for family meals and batch cooking. Its maximum temperature is 275°C, which is suitable for general oven work but gives less high-temperature headroom than models rated to 300°C.
Controls and smart features
The TFT-Touchdisplay Plus provides touch-based programme selection, with cookControl Plus offering automatic settings and the Oven Assistant helping choose suitable programmes. Fast preheat and coolStart add useful convenience for busy cooking routines.
Home Connect provides connected control through the app, and the oven also supports an oven Assistant with Voice Control. These features make the Siemens HB736G1B1B oven more sophisticated than a conventional manually controlled built-in model, although their usefulness depends on having a suitable connected home setup.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning combines an ecoClean back panel with a hydrolytic humidClean programme that uses vaporised soapy water to soften residue before wiping. This should reduce routine cleaning effort, although it is not the hands-off cleaning provided by a pyrolytic system.
The full-glass inner door, LED lighting and drop-down door with softOpen and softClose support easier access and day-to-day handling.
Installation and included equipment
The Siemens HB736G1B1B oven is designed for a standard built-in 60cm installation, with a 585–595mm high, 560–568mm wide and 550mm deep niche requirement. It has a 3.6kW connection rating, 16A fuse protection and no plug, so installation must be completed by an electrician.
Siemens lists two combination grids and one universal pan as included. The dedicated Air Fry & Grill tray is listed as an optional accessory, so the built-in Air Fry mode does not mean that specialist tray is supplied.
Efficiency and ownership trade-offs
The A+ energy rating and 0.69kWh fan-forced consumption per cycle give the Siemens HB736G1B1B oven a strong efficiency profile for a full-size built-in electric model. The 71-litre capacity also provides useful cooking space without requiring a double oven.
This is a single oven without a steam-cooking function, so buyers wanting added moisture control for bread, delicate baking or steam-assisted roasting should consider a steam-capable alternative.
