New oven

    We need a new oven.
    We have a built in electric oven. It's Whirlpool and the start button isn't working.
    I've been looking at specs and they all seem to be in and around the same size. Are they one size fits all type of thing?
    Are they easy enough to install? Or am I better off going for the delivery & installation option? They then take away the old appliance too.

    Whether or not you purchase the installation option, they are obliged to take away the old oven if it's ready to go i.e. pulled out of the slot and the wiring disconnected. If you unpack the new one the minute it's delivered, they also have to take away the packaging.

    Built-in single ovens are all the same size (the slot is 60 cms wide) and the wiring is no more complicated than wiring a three-pin plug - earth, live and neutral. Just be sure to flp the isolator switch on the wall. Your hob (electric or gas) is probably also wired into the same point, a gas hob needs an electric feed for the spark.

    Why don't you consider countertop oven? I am using Tower T14012 23 L Mini.
