Which oven shall I buy?

Jenelopy Dec 2020 6:59pm, 27 Dec 2020 685 posts	0 Jenelopy Our new house is progressing, and the Boxing Day sales seemed a good time to buy the appliances we'd need. When we demolished, we got rid of the gas connection and sold our gas cooker. In the new house we're planning on an induction hob (https://www.smithscity.co.nz/samsung-60cm-induction-cooktop-nz64h57479k-8874794) and an electric oven. We're struggling to decide which one to get. We do a lot of cooking / baking (bake out own bread, pizza, etc), but I learnt my cooking skills from Ready Stead Cook! rather than anything fancy. The shortlist is: Beko BBO60S1MB smithscity.co.nz Samsung NV70K3370BS smithscity.co.nz Bosch HBA534ES0A smithscity.co.nz Any advice knowledgeable people?

leaguefreak Dec 2020 8:53am, 28 Dec 2020 9,040 posts	0 leaguefreak I probably wouldn't go Beko. I don't think they're as robust as Bosch. We have a bosch oven that came built into the house. I think it's nearing the end of it's but it must be at least 15 years old at least judging by the design and cabinet colour choices in the kitchen. I use it at least once most days and the previous owner was a very enthusiastic cook and baker. I'm not really familiar with Samsung so don't want to offer an opinion there. neff is very good too. Had one of those in my old house but a lower end model as it was a small kitchen and we knew we would move within a few years.
um 🎄 Dec 2020 8:58am, 28 Dec 2020 3,944 posts	0 um 🎄 Got worried about the prices - till I factored in NZD. I have a double bosch - very good except difficult to clean and the bulb holder tends to stick. Cost me £60 to get a man to undo it a few years back. I promised myself one with slide and hide doors (like Bake Off, if you ever get that) if ever I bought a new one.

Grumpypants Dec 2020 3:50pm, 28 Dec 2020 177 posts	0 Grumpypants We upgraded all our appliances last year. They are all Bosch now and we're very happy with the performance and quality. We went for the Bosch MBA 5350.0B Double oven. We wanted a raised oven as we're getting on a bit. Cleaning it is pretty easy. Seems economical with energy, too.
