Looks very likely Im going to be out shopping for a new oven in a day or 2.
What makes do people love / hate at the moment?
Should be looking in the £500+ range D&G Payout permitting.
-
Come on, girls, which oven does it for you? ;D
-
Which one is the oven? Is that the tool for changing headlight adjusters?
-
I'll ask the house maid what one we have got :D ;D
-
6 months ago we bought a new oven and its a Samsung.
its a single oven but you get a plate with that divides it into 2 so you can cook your roast at one temp and your pudding at another temp.
well happy so far.

Love it. These types of thread can go longer than the 'Bus Thread' and faster than the '0 -60 Thread' ! ;D
-
Lol, yup headlight warming device ;D

I'd go for Neff. lots of ovens come with fancy programs and all that crap but all you do is dial a temperature and chuck something in it. So go for bottom of the range Neff: great quality, well insulated, cheap to run. etc
Stoves: expensive but run of the mill stuff
hotpoint/indeshit - steer clear of as never had good experience there
-
Not had an oven/cooker for more than 10yrs now and don't miss having one.Microwave/oven combo does very nicely for Sunday roasts etc.deep fat fryer for chips and such,a flat plate/griddle for bacon eggs and other fried stuff.An electric wok for the Chinese type stuff and a microwave safe steamer takes care of all cooking needs. :y
-
We replaced a Smeg range with two Bosch single combination ovens and a good sized 5 burner hob about four years ago... Haven't looked back :y
-
For the record this to to replace an electrolux oven (of higher spec that I would ever have bought) that came cheap with the kitchen about 6 years ago.
last week I turned it off, but it decided to go as hot as it could, almost catching fire - whole back of the oven glowing red!
Anyway it needs virtually everything replacing except control panel, door and shelves! so expect it to be written off and vouchers issued for a replacement from Domestic and General.
Want something similar to replace it, main feature request being the pyrolytic cleaning, love it!
-
You know my view of Bosch, would not have another. :y
-
Indeed, not heard good on Bosch, or hotpoint, the electrolux has had more than its share of breakdowns - been glad of the maint contract.
Be interested to look at a Miele, not head a lot about them in ovens....
-
I don't think I could cook with smeg. ::)
-
Funnily enough, we had an Electrolux that kept going into furnace mode. I wasted ages moaning about the standard of catering before getting my thermocouple out and checking the temperature. Most things don't come out that well when the oven's at 350 degrees C and rising. ::)

Considering ours has a cleaning cycle at 500 degrees c, this was well in excess of that! Wish I had taken a photo, never seen an oven glow like this before! consider ourselves lucky there was no fire to be honest.
Interestingly noone seems to sell Electrolux as an oven brand any more, plent of Aeg and Zanussi, but the 3rd brand in the group seems gone.
-
Don't get your heart set on a particular make or model. D&G will provide you with vouchers for a particular retailer (Curry's in my experience), so you'll be restricted to whatever that particular retailer sells.
Be prepared to fight your corner (with regards to settlement figure).

That's very poor, and suggests that there isn't a thermal cutout as a second line of defence if the oven thermostat fails (which is all that had happened to ours). As you say, it could quite easily have caused a fire. >:(

Indeed. I would have thought that basic safety would be a precrequisite for the CE kite mark? :-\
-
Nah, CE mark does not require any sort of FMEA analysis.

:o
Makes you wonder what you can trust these days....
Back on topic. The new house came with a fitted kitchen and one of these:

It works well, big enough for us and I cook a lot although I do miss having a double oven. I can't find any price for it though but I doubt it will exceed your budget.
-

Well, as ours is 20+ yrs old standalone with 3 halogen hobs, thus definitely something from the early 90s, I can't comment.
Its been reliable, only faults were new florry tube/starter as backlight flickered, and I had to do a spot of welding on the grill element a few years back.
Like most appliances that have been trusty, no hurry to change it as I suspect *any* replacement will be shite.
-
Bought an ex display Zanussi from John Lewis a few months ago to replace the dead Neff. SWMBO is chuffed with it and she,s the one who uses it so fine by me. ;)
-
Oven finally written off, gotta get a settlement now....

Couldn't DBG use the side panels to fashion into door skins? ;D
-
Nice settlement - They choose the model most similar to what you had.
You can accept that, or choose something else from one of their retailers (Ao.com / hughes.co.uk) for the same / similar trade price.
New Miele oven ordered, hopefully be a damn site better than the Electrolux.
