Which Electric Oven?

coota1268 on 24/10/2023 - 08:38

I need to replace a faulty 20 year old 60cm electric oven. But I just want an oven, without all the fancy features like Pyrolytic, Steam, In-built Air Fryers/Microwaves etc.
Essentially, I just want an oven that works like an oven & will be reliable and last a long time.
Most of our cooking is done on an outdoor BBQ, but I'd like to be able to do baking, roasts or bread in the oven.

I've seen a few 60cm ovens from Westinghouse or Whirlpool that seem to be ok, but keen to hear what others have to say.

    Is it ticking?

    EuroMaid value for the money with 3 years on site warranty

    Re: Pyrolitic, I would consider it. Might save you a lot of cleaning effort, if you're doing roasts…

    I’ve stopped buying Westinghouse. Their reliability is amazing. Every Westinghouse appliance I have had lasts about 5 years.And I prefer my appliances to last longer than that.
    If you’re not in a hurry Look for an Asko, Siemens basic on clearance.

    Ikea do basic ovens. Their buyers spec the oven to a slightly higher build quality, at least from what I've read online. You may have to buy an extra rack or two.

    Had Fisher and Paykel fairly basic oven and did alright for 15+ years.

    Just bought a Siemens IQ700. I also would recommend the spend for pyrolytic.

    However, if dropping $2.5k make you 😫, the old Siemens ovens should be heavily discounted as they are on a model change over/end of life cycle atm.

    Facebook marketplace or gumtree for a near new 2nd hand .

    Thats what i did when updating the kitchen in my old house prior to selling it.

    Got a near new oven for ~$180.

    We just did ours. Bosch has a different cut out to the Westinghouse. I wanted to go Westinghouse to match our fridge, but it wouldn't fit with our dimensions. We ended up with a Bosch. I paid $740ish.

      What are your thoughts of the Bosch Series 4 Oven after using it for a couple of months? I'm thinking of possibly getting this one.

        Great oven, and does everything we need. We went with black. No complaints at all. We have a Bosch washing machine and dryer too. Excellent gear.
