Built-in oven

[GoalHome 1]

Been looking at ovens and can't decide on which one... Brandt FC842XS1 (U.P. $1399) or Bosch HBA43B450A (U.P. $1449)

Heard from sales that the Bosch has ecoclean function, that the top, rear and side liners don't need to be changed.

Since i have no experience with ovens, would like to hear comments from oven users on its pros and cons or recommendations.

i went down to Ho Kee to look for ovens. I was told by the auntie that Techno TMO-28 is currently out of stock around Singapore (wonder if its true). so many people going for this model. any comments?

Just installed Ariston OS 99 oven. The manual shows its max load is 3400W (But the online manual from Ariston web site shows 2600W). Initialy worried about the load coz I only use a normal 13Amp power point left by previous owner. I have no idea if this power point is a separate line to main switch or shared with other power points in the kitchen. Too troublesome to run a 15Amp line coz ceilling, top kitchen cabinets all done by previous owner.

Turn it on for 30 minutes with highest temperature 250 degree. I went outside to check the electrical metre. By calculating the number of turns the metre runns for one hour, I concluded that the rough power consumption is less than 3000W together with my Aircon running also. Will test again without aircon running to get a more accurate figure.

The preheating is about 5 minutes. The fan blew out hot air from the vent between the control panel and the door. Use the general function and set timer for 30 minutes. The timer acctually turnned off the oven at the end of 30 minutes, although the manual says the timer only sounds buzz but not interuppting the oven. It is my first time using the oven. Open the oven door and felt the kitchen very warm.

Will run it once more before using it to cook food.

hah...my head chef had the gaggenau oven in his home kitchen...swore by it all the time

by the way...all oven programmed to do multi tasking i.e grilling, baking, defrosting etc

what are the chances that the previous dish aroma/smell still lingers in the oven when u next do

up another dish? is this where the self cleaning functions came in?

Hi El Nino.

Self cleaning with panels ( when gril , the oil will stick to the panels and after some time when the panel are full of oil it will drips down , that when you need to change the panels but some model or brands is to heat up at certain high Temp. it will melt or dissolve the oil )

Is best after a Gril or Bake , to clean away the smell , you may try to on to Fan Mode to blow the smell away.

given a choice between Ariston OS 99 DPIX Openspace Pyro Oven and Brandt FP867XS1 Oven,

what would you knowledgeable experts choose?

Both seems on par on everything except the OS 99 has capacity of 70 litres whilst the FP867

has about 54 litres. Pricing are also similar. Functions also similar.

Any thoughts?

Hi El Nino.

Hows everything ? One is made in Italy the other is France As for Ariston , i heard and got some forum said that their back up service quite bad and no spare part ( have to wait ) As for Brandt so far not much news from them as i see they mostly distrubute out to electrical dealers. ( Price around $1899 ) . I saw an Electrolux Oven that have a big capacity too Capacity 66 litres and price at $1199 i heard Model: EOB 305 X .

Hi Ngunadi;

you may consider Sharp Model: AX 1300 V or Sharp AX 1500 V ( Table top water Oven ) / Panasonic NN-CS599SYQ / NN- SV 30YPQ (Micro Oven with Steam ) / Panasonic NN-GF56MYPQ or NN-GD579SYPQ ( Micro Oven with Convention / Grill . ( All the above is table top )

OR

Purchase a built in oven but constuct a square box to cover it ( You may place on the floor with rollers or a normal table )

KM

Hi KM,

Thanks for the info. It seems the trend is now all Water-based oven?

Is it better?

I assume, the water/steam oven come with a higher price tag than the normal one ?

Hi KM,

Do you have any recommendation for non-built in oven?

My usage would be for cooking and simple baking (cheesecake only)

Thanks

Hi Kitchen Matters,

Since nobody gave any insightful comments, i deliberated myself and decided to get the FP867.

However from the brochure, it says the electrical loading for this oven is 16amp.

HDB said can only use up to 15amp for an electrical point.

Have u faced any issue regarding this? im very keen on the oven and dun wanna find something else after researching for a few months.

KM can advice me where can i see a wider range of built in ovens so as to open up my choices. preferably that has good sales customer

any comment on the Rinnai RBO-7MSO model? i cant seem to find information on its self cleaning function. ie catalytic or pyrolytic type

Hi DPSK ;

For RBO 7 MSO . Is Patented pyrolytic auto clean system cleans the entire oven , Self clean panels are coated in a special , micro porous catalytic enamel which oxidizes and gradually vaporizes splashes of grease and oil at cooking temp. above 200 degree. ( only for model RBO 7mrx and RBO 7MSO )

As for where to view most brands , you may try Harvey Norman at Millenia Walk. That store gt the most brands

Hi chuen_noe;

sorry for the late reply

most oven comes with min 3 cooking programs ( bt is without turbo fan ) to 5 programs , 6 programs , 9 programs , etc.

Is best to find with tangetial ventialation ( it will blow out hot air once the oven reaches certain temp. ) and if do grill often get with self clean panel ( once the panel is full of oil , you have to change the panels . )

Current brand in the market Ariston , Indesit , Brandt , Electrolux , Bosch etc. Bosch design look sleek and comes with 45cm oven - save space. , Electrolux price wise range from $600++ till $$$ . Their structure looks soild . As for Ariston and Indesit is more on price and design but got too many bad feedback on their after sales service quite sad as their design looks nice. As for Brandit their design and price is good too .

I feel that you may consider 6-7 cooking programs and with self clean panels . Price range below $1000 should not be a proble Let me look around for you

When do you move in or is it for replacement ? Try not to put near a fridge and if install below , try to avoid glass hob as it really not advisable .

happy shopping
