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.

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.

Tested every 2 years as part of the general service - replaced as necessary. We replaced most of the elements last year, in the 6th year of ownership. And yes a multimeter is how they check it.
