It bought it less than two years ago and have had three failed burners for different reasons, warped oven trays, heat leaking from the oven door and scorching the panel above, and on Christmas eve the oven door broke (yes, while I was baking Christmas things ). Has anyone else had problems with Baumatic cookers? Did I get a lemon? Cheers everyone. Re: My Baumatic oven- did I get a lemon or is the quality po 2Aug 20, 2011 8:55 pm Not a Lemon, just a typical Baumatic piece of rubbish. I have also unfortunaltely ahd one and it was the worst oven I have ever used. After the door falling off twice, handle coming off twice, inside racks coming loose on no less than 12 occasions in 4 years, 3 timer replacements, long service call times, lack of parts availability and 10 service calls, colour wearing off the knobs and an oven door that never fitted properly and leaked heat everywhere. We are now cutting our losses on this one as it blew up again tonight with a short circuit in the timer circuit which has melted the unit and the wire casing around it. In the 4 years we owned it, it has been nothing but trouble. I have asked Think Appliances to replace the oven but they just kept trying to fix it, leaving us without an oven for weeks at a time waiting for parts. Escalated to the Managing Director and he fobbed me off to service who just kept flogging this dead horse despite years of trouble. It is out of warranty and we will not go back and get it fixed any more. Will never buy Baumatic or ANY brand distributed by Think Appliances again. In fact our Baumatic dishwasher of the same age we have also replaced with an Asko as the Baumatic again was constant trouble. The first one we had we did get replaced completely under warranty but the second was still rubbish.
