Built in oven recommendations

Bagpu55 · 1 Dec 2013 at 09:24

I had 2 Teka built in units a microwave and single oven both have given up the ghost on separate occasions. For now I just need an oven as to get both is a little expensive this side of xmas unless there is a good deal on. We do use the oven a lot but don't want to spend more than £500 on it.

What do people recommend, are Neff worth the price or should I stick with a bosch. I have seen a Samsung geo dual cook that seems to get good reviews any one have one of those. There are so many models out there, any ideas? Bake,roast and grill are the priorities.

Miele if you can find one in your price?

If you are in London I have a brand new unused one (change our mind on the model) sitting in the corner you can have for that.

or look on ebay you may get a good deal on a Ex-Display unit.

Neff, Bosch and Siemens are one and the same really, you pay more for a Siemens and it may have a few more features.

For £500, you could get a Gorenje, maybe not a brand that you have heard of but they are fantastic bits of kit for the money, you will also get a 5 year warranty with most of their products.

I had a Stoves gas oven at around that price, really pleased with it.

Not all their built in ovens come with a 5 year warranty, some only have 2 years.

We've got a couple of Neffs, and we really like them. One's the big oven/grill with the slideaway door, and the other's the combo microwave/oven/grill.

In Manchester area

(thankyou for the offer) Just been to john lewis. The Neff B14M42N3GB appears to be the most reasonable and can trade in my old one (they remove my old one and give me £35 for it) so comes in around £360. Fits the space, no frills and plugs in to the existing socket without a rewire. Just need to check the reviews. I did see the NEFF with the sliding door, was nice but another £250ish, I could put that towards the microwave?

The Samsung looked good but I would buy a tv off them a oven not so sure.

I can take it up to sheffield next week.

but you may find one on ebay for the same money

they are really worth every penny.

Just bought the Neff for £363, cheaper and cheerful should do the job. Thanks

We bought a Samsung oven a couple of months ago and it's a geek's dream: Loads of settings, dual zone, touch control, etc. Free 5 year warranty too.

Are Gorenje really a premium brand? Years ago when I worked weekends in Comet the Gorenje fridges/freezers were identical to the Beko units, just with a stainless steel door. Same components otherwise.

Really impressed with the Samsung one we bought last year, was cheap too. Though I'm comparing it to the electric over it replaced that couldn't cook anything evenly......

We moved house and left our 10+ year old Zanussi behind. It was a simple, single oven and we had no trouble with it at all. We were more than happy with it. However, the Samsung we replaced it with is in another league. It heats up so quickly and nothing escapes. The Zanussi would warm the kitchen at the same time. Being able to have big space for a single dish, e.g. a turkey, or splitting it in two for pizza and chips has proved a godsend.

I just hope the Samsung proves as reliable as the Zanussi.

Miele or Bosch

DO NOT get a Neff. We have all neff appliances (double oven, plate warmer, coffee machine, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine) they are all rubbish! They were ok 10-15 years ago, but have gone downhill FAST

will not be replacing them with anything neff

I think Bosch and Neff are the same group. Certainly the Neff and Bosch stuff we've got has been very good, but it's only a couple of years old.

Bosch built in is what I am looking at for my new kitchen.

So get a Bosch but not a Neff, why is that then?

Neff built in microwaves come in two types, combi immense superb beats, and standard dull terrible underpowered microwaves.

As for their ovens, seen 4 or 5 in my lifetimes in operation, all were excellent.

Bagpu55 · 8 Dec 2013 at 14:14

Well mine arrives next Friday so will let you know how it handles, xmas a good time to test. Joints, cakes, roasties and maybe a beef wellington if I get the time. A collegue at work has a similar Neff and her only complaint was that if you want to cool down an item in the oven slowly after cooking the fan stays on that rapidly cools the oven and can cause cracks in some cakes. We'll see.
