  • Any recommendations on a built under oven?
    Cant decide on single oven or double grill/oven set ups.

  • I cook quite a lot and I've really struggled to justify paying for a double oven. I think the cases where I would genuinely use one in a way that I couldn't get away with using a single oven is maybe twice a year (one of them being christmas)

    I ended up going with an AEG model - AEG BPS552020M

    Mostly because it has pyrolytic cleaning and a handy inbuilt temp sensor.

    Whatever model you buy i'd suggest getting a graded appliance from somewhere like slightlydamaged or kingdom appliances.

    Reckon I've saved about £2k across all my purchases by buying things with scratches in places invisible to the eye once installed.

  • Did this with out "American style" fridge freezer. It a huge stainless steel LG model with ice and water dispenser for £600 ish. It had a small dent on the side and little scratch on the front. The whole unit is covered in magnets and the kids drawings so you don't see them. Got it from the AO outlet shop. It cost the same as getting separates .

  • Inbuilt temp sensor - is that a probe thing for cooking meat?

    On previous kitchen appliances I have just visited the Hotpoint outlet and bought whichever had the most discount or FB Marketplace. This time trying to explore options and make 'the right' decision.

    I quite like the idea of having a separate grill instead of having the main oven door open. The Smeg DUSF6300X has reasonable sized main oven and separate grill. As you said it can be bought for half priced as a graded item.
