Unless you prefer to buy a small car instead (and probably still have some spare change) :-p +2 Gaggenau kitchen appliances are certainly GORGEOUS - but you sure do pay for it! +3 We have Gaggenau microwaves in our office. So very very pretty. Until I saw the price tag in the shops. Hahahaha!

They have some very nice looking ovens and aren't too expensive. Good quality as well. My parents' one hasn't missed a beat in 6 years and the one I put in my house has worked fine in the month I've used it. This is the one I have. I think it might be the previous model now though. http://www.shoprite.com.au/products/Bau ... -Oven.html Re: What cooktop/oven do you have? 11Aug 20, 2011 8:57 pm Stay away from Baumatic. 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. Re: What cooktop/oven do you have? 14Aug 23, 2011 9:35 am Actually we ended up changing our oven to the HBA43B250A as it has a triple glazed door which is the minimum we wanted. My daughter and son in law are about to start building, they are having a 600mm induction cook top and 900mm oven. It's personal preferance 5 10877 Thanks mate. Yeah good points!
