  • One thing worth noting for electric ovens: the heating elements will degrade over time. You must budget in for getting them tested and replaced every 24 months or so. Be sure to look into the expected life times of the elements and take it into consideration.

    We get ours tested / replaced every 18 months or so to ensure stable and constant temperatures.

  • Wow - that isn't something I've ever heard of or done.

    Maybe this explains why my ovens have always been a bit shit... Will try and check how easy that is to do with whatever we choose!

  • Replaced every 2 years?

    I always believed the average life of a heating element was 5+ years. A quick Google suggests 5 years. A check of the Miele spare parts online suggests 5-10 years.

    At least the check is simple: simple multimeter continuity test.
