strata 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2010 Hi Ben, that's the same model I'm considering at the moment. Brandt and Bosch ovens with similar functions & specs definitely to the Ariston FZ62C 1IX cost more, we came across a Brandt Catalytic ytd at best denki IMM that's currently selling at a promo price of $969, usual price is more than 1k. Think it's a pretty good buy if you're looking for catalytic. Tho my hubs and me are still unsure if the catalytic function is useful enough to pay extra for. The Brandt oven which IMM Best Denki is selling is the display set of 642 series, which has been discontinued to be replaced by 842. Both the models are similar, except for the fact that in the 6 series the body is fully stainless steel and the 8 series has glass on top panel. Actually, even I was tempted with the Best Denki offer as the oven is really good, from whatever reviews I have read, and it was a steal at the given price. In the end, however, the fear of buying a display set ruled over the temptation and I bought Brandt FE811XS1 from Mega Discount Store at 840, with delivery (I will buy the turnspit extra, though not necessary with circulating heat). Both Harvey Norman and Best Denki in various locations have display sets of 6 series (611, 642 and 667) at very good rates, if anyone is willing to take the risk.

kitchen matters 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 my turbo one is still letting off strong smell after a few times of switching to max temp for 30 min to burn off the heating device protector Hi Zhiz . try using top and bottom with fan , heat up for 20 mins , and for 200 degree , after which open the door ajar to cool down . if not , try clean the inner oven first (but must use a dry cloth to wrip dry) than pre heat again. For all stainless steel , once you clean with wet coyhs must always use a dry cloth to wrip dry ( to prevent it from having water patches . kitchen matters :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitchen matters 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Hi Kitchen matters, I am thinking of buying Ariston FZ62C 1IX Catalytic Oven after reading the specs. Any comments on this oven? I havent got a chance to check out the Brandt and Bosch ovens yet. Any comparable models to this Ariston oven? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Ben Hi Ben, sorry for the late reply , busy with a project ( just sent all appliances) , you could check out Bosch HBA43B450A (5 cooking programs), Bosch HBA56B550A (10 cooking programs) , So far for Ariston model it comes with rack and tray but bosch model comes with 5 accessories. As most ovens features are quite same but is the extra features ( example : bottom heat , defrost , back element . ) Just warm up once a month to prevent it from tripping ( using top and bottom with fan for 200 degree ) . cheers kitchen matters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joko 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 We're looking for an entry-level oven for our home. We're amateur baker-wannabes so we really don't know much about ovens. The search started from Turbo (was intro-ed a basic model by a sales-uncle in a major electronics dept store) until Turbo, Ariston and Brandt (which is over our budget). We've also been told that if we do not do our own cleaning, it's best to get a self-cleaning model, the only one we know about is from Ariston and costs $765. So i'd like to ask you experienced oven-users, is the self-cleaning function useful? Hubs is advocating Turbo, but I feel the price level seems to be similar as Ariston, which I perceive to be a better known brand, not sure if I'm right tho. Would appreciate your comments. Is there any other self-cleaning oven that we can get for below $800? Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
