Browse Forums Kitchen Appliances 1 Feb 20, 2012 3:54 pm So I am trying to research what is the best value freestanding oven for under $3k. I am looking for a 90cm freestanding gas oven and have seen a few that I am interested in including Glem Upright Oven ML96MVI2, Emilia Di Matrix 90cm Gas Freestanding Oven DI965MVI2, and a few Omega and Belling ones. Any recommendations?? Re: Best gas freestanding oven for under $3k? 2Feb 22, 2012 11:46 am Just make sure you check the oven capacity as they vary from about 70L to around 120L. We got caught out and got one with 70L capacity and you can't fit 2 roasting pans side by side. I think a quick way to tell is if the door is the full width of the cooker it has a larger capacity than one where the door fits between two side panels, if that makes sense. We have an Indesit and other than the small oven, we like it but will get one with a larger oven capacity next time. Will be taking 2 roasting pans with us!

Some models also have triple glass doors hence reducing heat loss & the glass on the door will not be as hot to touch Re: Best gas freestanding oven for under $3k? 5Jun 03, 2012 8:17 pm I'm also interested. You can get a smeg for this price: http://www.binglee.com.au/smeg-sa9065xs ... ing-cooker are they bad? Re: Best gas freestanding oven for under $3k? 6Aug 02, 2012 2:47 pm Have you decided on an oven yet? I'm in the same situation. Willing to spend 4k but just frightened to actually decided on something as they all have bad reviews! I Could spend 3k on a glem or 5 or 6k on a ilve. I've had a linea wall oven for 4-5 years and no issues what so ever. Linea are very very affordable brand so I'm just trying to keep my options open rather then thinking the more expensive the better. Re: Best gas freestanding oven for under $3k? 7Aug 02, 2012 2:48 pm we decided to go all smeg, and its just a matter of shopping around when the time comes. I have come the conclusion that we may as well but it as close as possible to the time, and try and bargain with a few people, than buy it on special somewhere and have our cash tied up in appliances for months. Re: Best gas freestanding oven for under $3k? 8Aug 02, 2012 3:26 pm I'll be glad when I've decided so I can start pricing. So much variation in pricing and I'd be guttered if I paid a arm & a leg for an item for it be dramatically reduced after I purchced it. But pays to shop around. Bathroom renovation will likely include a back-to-corner bath and we’re considering a freestanding tap with hand-held shower such as the picture included.
