Built-In Ovens

An integrated oven typically lasts 10-15 years, depending on factors such as maintenance, model type, and how often it is used. Regular cleaning and proper care can significantly extend its lifespan.

Choosing the right integrated oven depends on your available space, cooking needs, and the features that matter most to you. Start by measuring your cabinet opening to ensure a proper fit, then consider factors such as capacity, energy efficiency, cleaning functions, and cooking technologies that suit your lifestyle.

To explore oven sizes, features, and technologies in more detail, we recommend reading our full Oven Buying Guide, which will help you compare options and choose the best model for your kitchen.

You should consider replacing your integrated oven if you notice reduced performance, uneven cooking, frequent faults, or visible damage.

A helpful guideline is the 50% repair rule: if the cost of a repair is more than half the price of a new oven, replacing it is usually the more cost-effective option. Upgrading to a newer model can also improve energy efficiency, cooking performance, and give you access to the latest features.

The right oven size depends on your household size and cooking needs.

For a household of 1-2 people, a 40-48L oven or a compact model provides plenty of space for everyday meals without taking up too much room.

For households of 3-4 people, a larger 65-75L oven is ideal, offering enough capacity to cook multiple dishes or larger meals comfortably.

For larger families, a double oven is a great choice if you cook frequently, enjoy batch cooking, or do a lot of baking. Two separate cavities allow you to cook different dishes simultaneously at different temperatures, making meal preparation more flexible and efficient.
