linsullen 10 Report post Posted May 25, 2014 Finally! Ive made a decision on hob and hood. Down to the last part, the OVEN.I love to bake especially cakes, brownies and cookies, pizzas.. and also grilling chicken/meat/fish. In my old oven always had the problem of cookies not turning out crispy.Grilling was fine but it took quite some time. Well, the old one was just a table top oven bought by mom. So for my new home, i would like to get an oven that can fullfill my needs.Something nice on the eyes and serves it purpose well I have come down to these 2 Ovens. Basically because price range for both is within my budget. I chose these 2 because of the Functions which i will use a lot. Both are almost the same with the electrolux having a few added functions. I have listed the functions of both ovens in hope to get some opinions which is more worth it. The only concern i have is, does the ovens serves its purpose well, any probs with the heating, min lifespan for these ovens? Cos i heard of some unlucky people whose ovens actually had problems after months of usage. Is it easy to get the parts or have it fixed if in any case spoils. For those who has used this oven pls share ur reviews with me. Most appreciated.

linsullen 10 Report post Posted May 26, 2014 looks like Electrolux is not used by many people, i just cant seem to find any reviews from people who had actually used it.. Would like to know in terms if heat is distributed evenly, easy to clean, the bakes came out nicely done? etc?From what i gather in this forum, Bosch is great as a basic oven for baking, but for grilling it will stain your oven. My husband wants me to grill meat,chicken, which is why im contemplating. But price is within budget.Went to the showroom at harvey norman yesterday to compare the Bosch and Electrolux, the Bosh HBN331E2J design wise was so much better than Electrolux, but the door sucks, it just slams down. Electrolux has really big knobs which i tot were a bit ugly..hehe..but the capacity inside was spacious and the door doesnt just slam down, i dunno what its called.hehe. Only thing is i just want to hear opinions from people who had used electrolux oven. One more thing Is it possible to do kek lapis without top heat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

linsullen 10 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Anybody heard of the brand Kuche, stumbled upon it recently. Went to the showroom today to have a look, but they dont have the old model on display which i badly wanted to see. Instead they have a new oven which just launched abt 1mth plus already according to the lady.Their new model nice, KBO810D but don't have bottom heat only function which I'm looking for..if not i would have bought that already just now.Anybody knows where i can see the display of kuche oven model BO800D (OLD MODEL). Im the type of person who need to see and touch it before i buy for appliances.haha..Dont want to regret later on..Anyone used this more than a year?KBO810D (NEW MODEL) BO800D (OLD MODEL) Edited May 29, 2014 by linsullen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rubypumps 13 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 i have the same concern too, will heat distribute evenly!? I've nv owned a built-in oven, its such a big investment.I finally decided on Brandt FC1042XS, price is steep for us ($1599) but I really like the rotisserie and digital temperature function, but unfortunately Goh Ah Bee told us stocks would only be here in October I went to Harvey norman at Robinsons and they don't even carry this model there, I still see it on Harvey Norman's website though.It seems like not many brands have the rotisserie function, I wonder if I put a whole chicken on a tray will it brown evenly? Any idea?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tk2014 3 Report post Posted May 30, 2014 Hi Everyone,I think everyone want a good oven, so my personal thinking, Bosch , Electrolux is always the best few brand, due to the country of made and the warranty cover but of course the specialist on appliances made by themselves.TK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
