  • An element has died in my cheap crap non-fan oven. I can replace it easily enough or I can use it as an excuse to get a brand new whizzbang fan oven. Will I notice the difference, food wise?

    It mostly gets used for supermarket processed junk and oven chips. No actual baking.

  • I had an old oven that the element blew in, it was not hard to change myself (actual mechanical idiot)
    Then later the fan blew, and I replaced that too.
    (might actually be getting the order wrong, but i replaced both and am still not dead)

    Having gone from a non-fan to a fan oven, there was an improvement from the new (fan) oven, but that was probably due it not being ancient more than the addition of a fan.

    Can't imagine price being a massive difference, so get a fan one.

    I've already pulled the old element out, so it's £17 for a new one vs £250+ for a whole new oven.

    I use it enough that I don't mind paying, but only if there's some tangible benefit.
