Hi All, been needing a new oven, so would be keen to hear your thoughts.

Currently, I've seen a discounted Westinghouse $599 and Fisher and Paykel $899 oven on clearance, but not sure which to go with. More so looking to know if it's worth getting a higher end brand such as F&P, or Bosch (which I'd been considering), or just settle for Westinghouse, or similar.

Edit, these are the models:

Westinghouse:

F&P

Currently have a Bellini, which is okay, but dials are quite worn and it was not treated particularly well by renters during my place's previous life.

Thanks guys!

    Bellini is junk
    Westinghouse and f&p are reliable serviceable ovens
    Bosch is a good brand and the one I would buy.
    Really depends on how much you use it and if you like to cook? The Bosch ones heat up fast.
    None of these are high end ovens. Under $1000 ovens range from junk-entry level.

      Managed to find the model numbers of the F&P vs westinghouse (linked above), at those prices, Is bosch still worth the extra money?

      I do like to cook and it'd be used probably twice a week on average I think (once we're outta lockdown)

    $599 seems cheap that model seems to have mixed reviews.
    Is it refurbished or a factory second? Which is the Bosch model?

      It's floor stock, ex-display. Think I'm going with the F&P! Bosch was thinking a series 4

    I've got the f&P OB60SC6CEPX2 and it's awesome for the price

    -1

    The REAL choices you have are
    1. Size of oven (go for the bigger one)
    2. Fan forced or not (go for fan forced)

    Now go and find the best deal on those specs
    Stay with the big brand names
    Avoid the cheap Chinese junk like Bellini and Euro

      THanks! aren't they both fan force?
      F&P seems to be the larger of the two :)
