We (sis, mom & me) spent our Saturday oven hopping around Klang Valley. Yeah we hopped from Bukit Raja to Kelana Jaya to Puchong and finally Klang searching for the perfect built-in oven for our home kitchen.
We had a Zanussi gas cooker cum electric oven but gave it away 2 years ago because the electric oven’s thermostat often malfunction. So you can imagine 2 years of inactive baking has made our hands getting itchier and itchier and our thoughts run wild. We so wanted to bake cookies, pastries and cakes. Besides Carnival Sales is just around the corner. Tee hee.
My sis has her eyes on Fagor and Electrolux but most probably she will choose a Fagor built-in oven. The reason was because I kept adding salt and water about Fagor and she also realised that Electrolux only has 2 or 3 built-in oven models compared to Fagor (9 models). Sheβs weighting which brand to buy in terms of service, spare parts, the availability of a certain models and price range.
There are other famous built-in oven brands such as Teka (made in Germany, very pricey), Ariston and Fujihome but believe it or not, out of 7 shops that we visited 5 shops display Fagor built-in oven in their shop!?!
Do share with me your tips regarding which built-in oven brand is better and what are the function and feature that I should look for in an oven.

hmmm, i’m not sure what new features there are in the new generation of ovens but i’m using an Electrolux built-in model and so far it hasn’t let me down.
i have friends who have the convection microwave oven but i don’t think the efect is the same – i still prefer the traditional oven. I guess it depends on what you’re using it for ie baking, grilling, heating up etc but for a normal sized family, i’d say get the bigger models instead of the single tray compact types.
as for the brands, yeah there are so many on the market and some have really nice designs but just go for what you need and at the price that’s right for you π
i’ve got a highly under-used samsung convection microwave oven at home, which is alot easier to clean compared to traditional built-in ovens.
We have Ariston at home..since our house was completed less than a decade ago. :battlingeyelashes:
I don’t like to bake with convection microwave oven..the outcome of my baking or grilling is simply not it.. :doh:
cookies pastries and cakes…yummy
perhaps yr chester will get some homebaked doggy treats. heh ^^
aiya, soli lah..what do i know about ovens!
No idea. Haha… I prefer going to a bakery π
Laksa, ohh thank you for the tips.
Hedonistics Anonymous, nowadays built-in oven is super easy to clean(with the non-stick function).
Pille, yup the outcome will be very different.
Tj, yes I plan to bake some doggie cookies for Chester.
Wuching and Neo, wei ask your wife and gf la.
hehe sorry cant help much. I also dont have any oven. But I think both Electrolux and Fagor are good. Well, if you are interested in bread making as well, I will introduce one to you. :battlingeyelashes:
Ummizz, those conventional bulit-in oven cannot be use for bread making?
Hi, how about Indesit? Indesit totally from Italy. I think the quality not so bad. Price also reasonable.I also looking for a built in oven. I’ve made some study but still not make any decision which brand to buy.
Farra, hello…Thanks for the tips. We have not made our mind yet. :thinking:
Currently, I am also planning to buy an oven, built-in gas hob, and a hood. I have narrowed down a few brands for oven, must have self cleaning function for me:1)RHOYXON(Italian with cooling fan, supposedly to keep oven handle and door cool and I’m looking for someone who has this oven to tell me if it really is the case),
2)ELECTROLUX model EOB6697X 3) FUJIHOME
For hob,does anyone use the PACIFIC (Taiwan) brand? Any problem with the fan clogging up with the self cleaning models? :wave:
Hi hi! I’m sorry I have no experience with the models you mentioned. But good luck in hunting your dream oven. π
Hi all. So many years later, how is the hood, hob and oven performance? Any regrets or strong recommendations? I am surveying coz going to purchase… 3 brands that I am keen, fujioh, electrolux and fagor.
Nearly 4 years and my Europa oven is still going strong.
No regrets. π
Happy that I bought this and not the other expensive brand. Hehe
