graceakaclouds 1 Report post Posted March 1, 2010 gd idea ar, El Nino...i will ask ossify n see if got advices u noe ar, i managed to ask for prices for the brandt FP867 cos i really quite like it alot (just dislike the knobs - totally 'allergic' to knobs since my current oven has dropped its knob twice n i just gave up on repairing it anymore)...cheapest from Everjoint at AMK is S$1528....haiz....abit on the high side....so i'm still comtemplating... joseeng - if no budget, without a doubt, i'll take bosch cos i pretty much like the functions....just not too sure getting an oven with function like pizza would it be of much use since i'm sure normal ovens can do pizzas too.... like my hb say, even if the oven is a Miele one n u can't bake well, wat's the point of splurging $$ on it?? but well, i guess, better functioned oven does make a difference to the food too....hahaha i'm a woman afterall ey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol... seems like when i ask ard they advise me to avoid ariston...said made in thailand and china..no longer in italy...brandt still french product...ariston monopolised laa etc etc i take it with a pinch of salt though since i consider them bashing a rivals product... still like the look and functionality of ariston's openspace tho now more inclined towards brandt FP867...
