Same for ours. Works fine. Although we use the Ninja for 90% off the cooking anyway.

I'm with @Armageus and @Freefaller, wire it yourself fam.
You can, it depends entirely on the oven. Many single slide in ovens are made with plugs. You only need a special circuit if the oven needed it, for example double ovens with larger power draw, ovens with electric hobs integrated etc.
No. Only notifiable if installing a new circuit.
If anyone's interested 3kw is pretty much the maximum power draw for a plug top.
The math is watts divided by voltage equals amps so it can vary as supply ranges from 220 to 250
220 volts times 13 amps equals 2860 watts
250 volts times 13 amps equal 3250 watts
Personally I always prefer hard wired.

Do you also hardwire your kettle?
Sure its not just the element? When I used to use my kitchen oven, the element died every 1-2 years. On one occasion it blew a fuse as well.
I now use a portable oven (3000 watts. but oven itself is 2000w) or airfryer depending on what I am cooking, the portable oven works fine from the plug socket and cooks faster than the fitted kitchen oven. I am using industrial grade extension cable for it though not normal consumer one, as the plug cable length is tiny.

It's highly likely to be the element and they are really easy to change. Although I wouldn't expect it to only last 1-2 years.
no, but my kettle doesn't energise an element for anywhere near as long.

There are loads of 13A ovens out there now. Really depends on whether you want all the Gucci features like pyrolitic cleaning etc.. if you’re just cooking oven chips a 13A plug and go oven is fine..
IIRC they’re even sold as plug and go..

I think you'd be surprised how little an oven is on full chat for.
I doubt I would
Absolutely, but actually looking at the ovens the OP linked they come with plugs attached.

Then that’s all good!! I did read it - but clearly didn’t digest! I think AO sell quite a few plug and go ovens.
same last 2 ovens, never had a problem.
