prissypris 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 If U R lookg 4 a cheap oven, then Turbo is fine ! If U R lookg 4 a GD middle range oven, then those who love in baking will tell U that Bosch (German made) & Brandt (France Made) wd b d ideal oven. For demo, the chef has NO choice as they can only use d oven provided / sponsored ! Read MORE on this Forum's thread b4 U make yr decision as U can only make 1 choice ! well. i took a look around and found that the turbo oven is not bad in terms usage and price considering the fact that it's from italy. i'm using their cooking hobs and thus think it would be good to get their oven as well as it has been serving me without fail after so many years. just hoping to see if anyone has comments about the ovens. thanks for your comments. will read more about it.

CuteHoneyDew 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) Anybody has comments on the table top ovens? This looks pretty value for money...combo oven, price quoted at Harvey was $1159. http://www.sharp.com.sg/web/products/prodD...3&mode=Feat Not for the regular baker...but for those occasional users, think this oven would fit great. U R absolutely RIGHT ! Though this table top Sharp Helsio AX1500 oven came with Microwave functions, but it's oven functions DOES NOT came with Mircowave like Panasonic Microwave/Convection Oven. Besides, it's WATER OVEN or what we called STEAM oven whr MORE healthy if U use this oven. However, do NOT choose the smaller unit AX1300 retailing at $999 as it doesn't come with FAN in yr oven fucntion. Call Luigi of H/N at 9733 7654 2 ask 4d SPECIAL price that he cld give give U ! I just got my Brandt FP867 Pyro built-in oven last week at only $1650 fr him though quoted at $1899 at H/N, Best & Mega.

CuteHoneyDew 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2010 Btw, if the oven is rated as 16A & need to be used in a HDB socket outlet rated as 13A max, how do we go about installing this oven? I'm facing d same problems too ! My oven has been boxed up & fixed in by d delivery man. Now was placed on top of my stainless steel table but the oven came w/o plug coz got to look for an electrician to fix a 16amp plug. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong with yr oven, NO guaranteed ! I understand that if I use oven, make sure that NO 1 is using aircond in my hse in order to avoid fr elec trip ! However, if U hav a 13amp plug ready for yr new oven & U only look 4 a CATALYTIC function of built-in oven that do NOT require the changing of panels every 2-3yrs due to ECO cleaning, then just call Luigi of Harvey Norman at 9733 7654 for Bosch HBA23B550J retailed at $1299 (German Made; the ONLY 1 with 13amp oven); 2yrs warranty with Fan, Top & Bottom, Bottom, Grill with Fan, Grill (5 cooking Programmes). I bought via Luigi as he gave me a special rate & H/N is a BIG organisations that allows up to 5yrs (warranty + ext warranty). FYI, Bosch is rank before Brandt but majority that loves MORE & EASY functions & with Pyrolitic as well as Grill with Rotissirie will still go for Bradt coz d Pyro FP867 only $1650 nett (Retail $1899).

CuteHoneyDew 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 Hi KM, Learnt a great deal about ovens from this thread (especially your posts). Need some recommendations for a built-in oven. My wife and my 4-yr-old son loves baking (lucky me... ). Based on the discussions in this thread, I've shortlisted Brandt, Bosch, Electrolux and Rinnai. Could you/anyone provide some insights for these brands (price range too if possible). Main criteria for the oven: - for baking cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pies - self-cleaning (seems like a impt/nice feature) - tangential ventilation (does all ovens have this?) - mine is a 20+ yr-old flat (not sure if power load will be an issue?) - digital display (nice to have feature) - timer auto-off (wife tends to "burn" her creations quite often) Appreciate any valuable recommendations!! For a GD middle-range brand, Bosch & Brandt R GD bcoz of their easy functions & temperature heats ! If U can't get a GD oven, U might ended up doing a lot of manual work ie always need to take a look at yr cake, bun, chicken & do manual changing of position so that yr food can be cook in even colour ! Hence, do NOT base on outlook or bigger capacity but even heat is MORE IMPORTANT for an oven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CuteHoneyDew 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 I went to the Brandt online catalogue and I think the FX842 model is really nice. Anyone knows where I can view this model? Is it at that Rinnai place? Those Goh Ah Bee, Ban Kim Chuan, no display models one right? At Rinnai, U can view Bosch, Brandt, DD & Miele but their rates R stick to Retail Price. I got my Brandt Pyro FP867 (New model replacing FP667 coz got grill with rotisirrie at only S$1650. If U dun mind d old series of FP667 (grill w/o rotissirie), U can get it at $1500 while retail price for Pyrolitic oven is $1899 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CuteHoneyDew 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) May I ask where did you buy your Brandt oven from? I get really confused after all the comparison, I don't really know what I want. I don't want to spend too much as I am not really a serious baker and also have to watch my weight sort of person, can't be baking all the time. Oven is more for grilling and roasting actually. I went to Ban Kim Chuan today and they don't have any ovens on display. So where do you guys see all the ovens you want and then make the decision? Is it all done online or what? Super confused now. U can go Rinnai Electrical Shop at Shaw Ctr (#05-02/03 Tel : 6737 4531) 2 see DD, Miele, Bosch & Brandt ovens. Harvey Norman Millenia Walk or CentrePoint (same bldg with Robinson) also have different ranges of ovens to see. However, those who R lookg for a GOOD Mid-Range oven will usually look for Bosch (German made; using 3D Hot Air) or Brandt (France made; Top & Bottom Heat with Fan) as they R fr d same factory. My recent checked on d prices : Bosch (2 or 3 layers glass door); 2yrs warranty. HBA23B550J (the only 13amp most suitable for HDB) - Retailed at $1299 HBA43B450A Catalytic (16amp) - Retailed Price $1449 [ 5 cooking functions only ] HBA56B550A Catalytic (16amp) - Retailed Price $2199 [10 cooking functions ]. Bosch catalytic using Eco cleaning & thr4, do not required change of panels. HBA78B750 Pyrolytic (16amp) - Retailed Price $2949 [ 13 cooking functions ] Bradt 16amp (old series start with 6 while new series with 8; heard that most functions quite similar). Brandt only 1yr warranty. FP867 replacing FP667; 9 cooking modes; Multifunctions Plus with EASY-COOK. Though Retailed at $1899 but U shd b able to get FP667 at $1.5k for old series (grill w/o rotisserie). FP842 Catalytic retailed at 1399 but the panels need to change every 2-3 yrs ($150+) depending how often U perform grilling. 7 cooking modes FP811 (Basic) - Mega sells at $840; 6 cooking modes As long as U can find any items in any of d H/N branch, U can then call Luigi 9733 7654 of H/N to order. He gave a very special rate; I got my Brandt Pyro FP867 (Grilling with rotisserie ; 4 layers glass door) at $1650 nett. I chose bigger store bcoz I like the ext warranty & thr4, I bought 1+4yrs ext warranty fr H/V coz my maid will b using d oven. So, play safe, buy max warranty ! Ariston Openspace 70L; itally made (fr Mayers) Retailed at $1899 (15amp) but read thro' some forum's thread that their services after sales R really bad. Each time cost abt $200-$300 when their ovens trip ! Besides, too BIG spaces wd suitable for ppl who bakes a lot ! For me, it might coz MORE electricity of LARGER space when compact with others that usually only 52-58L. Hope d abv infor cld help U !
