    Has anyone any experience of this brand.

    Looks like they have all the features but I can't find any reviews / comments on line. Not cheap so I dont want to make a mistake

    If I remember correctly they're a Whirlpool manufactured product. Make of that what you will.

    If they're 'not cheap' then I'd look to one of the mainstream brands which have been around for a few years meaning that you won't have a problem with spare parts. Especially important with ovens because you will definitely need to replace the grill element before the oven reaches it's end of life.

    You need to be ultra-sceptical of 'heritage' brands rising from the ashes of oblivion, names like Blomberg, Grundig, Nordmende, Bush. These are brand names which were purchased 'off the shelf' by companies like Arcelik (parent company of Beko) to give them brand recognition in western markets, they may or may not be around tomorrow.

    Looks like the Whirlpool spares are interchangeable with Bauknecht, certainly a very large overlap anyway.

    I know this is an old thread but looking to see did you go with the Bauknecht oven in the end? Am thinking of purchasing myself.

    I did buy the oven in the end and I'm happy with it. Its very quick to cook and has lots of recipes programmed in. The oven I bought has an integrated grill which is very good. It does take a bit of getting used to - with my last oven all I had to do was choose the temperature - with the Bauknecht you have to select 3 or 4 options to start it. It has two trays and one rack - I would prefer more racks and I did buy a grill rack separately, as this is not supplied. I also bought a Bauknecht microwave and warming drawer, which I had a problem with. The service from whirlpool was very good and issue resolved.
